Shadow of the Sun Penguin

Literatura faktu

'Only with the greatest of simplifications, for the sake of convenience, can we say Africa. In reality, except as a geographical term, Africa doesn't exist'. Ryszard Kapuscinski has been writing about the people of Africa throughout his career. In a study that avoids the official routes, palaces and big politics, he sets out to create an account of post-colonial Africa seen at once as a whole and as a location that wholly defies generalised explanations. It is both a sustained meditation on the mosaic of peoples and practises we call 'Africa', and an impassioned attempt to come to terms with humanity itself as it struggles to escape from foreign domination, from the intoxications of freedom, from war and from politics as theft. The Beginning: Collision, Ghana 1958 More than anything, one is struck by the light. Light everywhere. Brightness everywhere. Everywhere, the sun. Just yesterday, an autumnal London was drenched in rain. The airplane drenched in rain. A cold, wind, darkness. But here, from the morning

Funny Girl - Nick Hornby

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Funny Girl - the latest novel from Nick Hornby, the million-copy bestselling author of About a Boy Make them laugh, and they're yours forever . . . Barbara Parker is Miss Blackpool of 1964, but she doesn't want to be a beauty queen. She only wants to make people laugh. So she leaves her hometown behind, takes herself off to London, and lands a life-changing audition for a new BBC comedy series. Overnight she becomes Sophie Straw: charming, gorgeous, destined to win the nation's hearts. Funny Girl is the story of a smash-hit TV show and the people behind the scenes: the writers, Tony and Bill, friends since national service and comedy obsessives; producer Dennis, Oxbridge educated, clever, mild and not-so-secretly devoted to his star actress Sophie; and dashing male lead Clive, who firmly believes he's destined for better things. The show's success continues rocketing and the cast and crew are having the time of their lives. But when the script begins to get a bit too close to home, and life starts imitating art, they all face a choice. How long can they keep going before it's time to change the channel? Nick Hornby's novel is about popular culture and the swinging sixties. Sophie Straw is learning about youth and old age, fame and hard work, class and collaboration. Funny Girl offers a captivating portrait of youthful exuberance and freedom at a time when Britain itself was experiencing one of its most enduring creative bursts. Hornby fans will love his latest book, as will readers of David Nicholls, Mark Haddon and William Boyd. 'Fans won't be disappointed by this new story... endearing, humorous and touching, full of spot-on period detail, all brought to vivid life by a cast of very human characters. Hugely enjoyable' Sunday Mirror 'Resolutely, winningly light-hearted' Observer 'Nick Hornby's funny, winningly perceptive novel is a pleasure to read' Telegraph 'If you devoured About a Boy and whizzed through High Fidelity you're going to love Nick Hornby's brilliant new novel. Hilarious and captivating, this is a fabulous read' Take a Break 'There is something about Hornby's writing that is so simple, so easy-to-read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same time, that anything he writes turns out very special. The premise of Funny Girl is like a lot of Nick Hornby's irritatingly genius ideas: something so obvious you can't believe no one thought of it before.' Independent 'Everything he writes is addictively readable and clever, but with this one he just surpasses himself' Red 'Effortlessly engaging... Hornby's writing is so fluid, he has a great knack for capturing atmosphere and skewering a character with a killer phrase' - Evening Standard Nazwa - Funny Girl Autor - Nick Hornby Oprawa - Miękka Wydawca - Penguin Books Kod ISBN - 9780241965238 Kod EAN - 9780241965238 Rok wydania - 2014 Język - angielski Format - 11.0x18.0cm Ilość stron - 346 Podatek VAT - 5%

Optical Properties of Solids Oxford University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The second edition of this successful textbook provides an up-to-date account of the optical physics of solid state materials. The basic principles of absorption, reflection, luminescence, and light scattering are covered for a wide range of materials, including insulators, semiconductors and metals. The text starts with a review of classical optics, and then moves on to the treatment of optical transition rates by quantum theory. In addition to the traditional discussion of crystalline materials, glasses and molecular solids are also covered. The first edition included a number of subjects that are not normally covered in standard texts, notably semiconductor quantum wells, molecular materials, vibronic solid state lasers, and nonlinear optics. The basic structure of the second edition is unchanged, but all of the chapters have been updated and improved. Futhermore, a number of important new topics have been added, including: * Optical control of spin * Quantum dots * Plasmonics * Negative refraction * Carbon nanostructures (graphene, nanotubes and fullerenes) * NV centres in diamond The text is aimed at final year undergraduates, masters students and researchers.It is mainly written for physicists, but might also be useful for electrical engineers, materials scientists and physical chemists. The topics are written in a clear tutorial style with worked examples, chapter summaries and exercises. A solutions manual is available on request for instructors.

Impurity Spectra of Solids Springer-Verlag New York Inc.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

It is very rewarding for an author to know that his book is to be translated into another language and become available to a new circle of readers. The study of the optics and spectroscopy of activated crys stals has continued to grow. The development and first remarkable successes of light scattering by impurities in crystals have occurred in the comparatively short time since my original book was sent to press. After experimental observation of the sidebands (wings) in impurity infrared absorption spectra, interest in these spectra as a source of information on the vibrations of a crystal in the neigh borhood of an impurity has increased significantly. Therefore, in addition to making minor corrections, r have supplemented the section on the effect of anharmonicity (section25) and written two new sections and another Appendix on infrared ab sorption, scattering of light by an impurity center in a crystal, and the adiabatic approximation, respectively. The bibliography has received several dozen new entries, but it nevertheless does not pretend to be complete. r hope that the American edition is useful and in some de gree corresponds to the general deepening of our physical under standing of solids.

27 Club Kahurangi

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

IS THE 27 CLUB JUST A MYTH? (No). Is it a "curse?" (No). But The 27 Club is not what you think. It's more than the deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and others. Using the teachings of the Moon Cycles and C. G. Jung's notion of the puer (the creative person who is always young beyond his years and often dies an early death, physical or emotional) Michael Owen explains what happens to all of us in our mid- to late-twenties. Not a book on astrology, THE 27 CLUB: WHY AGE 27 IS IMPORTANT gives new insights into the timing of crises and opportunities during our twenties and how events and decisions around age 27 can set the trajectory of our lives for the next 27 years. It explains the natural rhythm by which the psyche grows and matures, and looks at what happens when we under- or over-reach ourselves. The book sheds light on other questions: Why does life often take a turn for better or worse around age 27? Why were so many of The 27 Club from the sixties? What does science say about The 27 Club? Is The 27 Club just dead rock stars? What is the psychology of The 27 Club? What do our teens and early 20s have to do with age 27? And read about the other "Clubs" from 24 to 30. THE 27 CLUB: WHY AGE 27 IS IMPORTANT also explores the wider meanings of the Moon Cycles, a measure of time based on the length of human pregnancy, and the importance of the 9 month, 3 year (Little Moon) and 27 year (Big Moon) cycles. This "calendar" is applicable to all important events (the birth, growth and death of anything-a life, a business, a relationship) and the ripples in time that it sends out. And read about the fascinating link between the 27 year cycle and 9/11. Michael Owen is a clinical psychologist in private practice and author of Jung and the Native American Moon Cycles and The Maya Book of Life: Understanding the Xultun Tarot. He lives in Aotearoa/New Zealand. www.kahurangi-press.com | www.27-club.net | www.xultun.com

Caravaggio'S Eye Paul Holberton Publishing Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book concentrates on a few crucial years of Caravaggio's development, in order to cast light on what made the artist such a revolutionary figure. It argues that this revolution was one of technique rather than style, and involved the sophisticated use of a camera obscura and so-called 'burning' or parabolic mirrors, exploiting new advances in glassmaking and optics. Because the results Caravaggio obtained by his new methods were so different he created a sensation, although these innovations were rapidly assimilated and the artistic establishment worked successfully to restore their way of doing things, so that the true novelty of his art in the 1590s has been obscured.Clovis Whitfield uses a lifetime of study of the period to discuss not only Caravaggio's technology but also his patronage and cultural context, the Rome of Clement VIII, concentrating particularly on Caravaggio's homosexual patron Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte and analysing the taste and role of his other early supporters as well. Whitfield's Caravaggio was the son of a bricklayer, untrained in traditional artistic disciplines, who instead took the dramatic step of painting exactly what he saw with his reproductive aids. Galileo's hypothesis drawn from observation and Caravaggio's novel description of what he saw were, according to Whitfield, parallel attempts to explain features of the many-layered reality that surrounds us.The book features remarkable new photographs and especially details of Caravaggio's paintings and those of his followers and rivals that will dramatically refresh hackneyed perceptions of this crucial figure and his world.

Money circulation in antiquity the middle ages and modern times - Stanisław Suchodolski

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - The guestion as to how money circulated in Europę from Antiquity to the seventeenth century still remains unsolved. The studies in this volume, based on new finds and new scientific methods, contribute more results. The studies concern different aspects of the guestion, including the role of Celtic coins in Moravia in the light of the sensational finds from Nemcice, the inflow of dirhams and their imitations into Baltic, and the comparison of silver circulation in Scandinavia, old Prussia and Germany in the Viking-Age. The beginnings of coinage in Bohemia and Lithuania arę also studied. These and other topics were discussed by eminent scholars from thirteen countries in 2006 at the Warsaw Symposium 'Money circulation in Antiguity, the Middle Ages and Modern Times. Time, rangę, intensity'. The symposium was organized to mark the 50th Anniversary of the leading Polish numismatic Journal, also devoted to money and currency history - Wiadomości Numizmatyczne. The present volume includes eleven of the lectures presented at the Symposium, fully revised and illustrated for publication. An obituary of Professor Ryszard Kiersnowski - the real creator of the Journal and its editor for almost a guarter of a century, and some reflections on the half century history of the Wiadomości Numizmatyczne open the volume. Ciągle brak jest jednoznacznej odpowiedzi na pytanie, jak obiegał pieniądz w Europie od starożytności aż do XVII w. Nowe, rewelacyjne odkrycia i pogłębione badania przy użyciu nowych metod przynoszą wciąż nowe rezultaty. Dotyczą one bardzo różnych zagadnień, np. roli monet celtyckich na Morawach w świetle sensacyjnych znalezisk w Niemczy-cach, napływu monet arabskich i ich imitacji na wybrzeża Bałtyku, porównania obiegu pieniężnego w epoce Wikingów w Skandynawii, u dawnych Prusów i w Niemczech, a także początków mennictwa w Czechach i na Litwie. Tymi problemami i jeszcze kilkoma innymi zajmowali się wybitni uczeni z 13 krajów, którzy w 2006 roku spotkali się w Warszawie na sympozjum "Moneta i obrót pieniężny w starożytności, w średniowieczu i w czasach nowożytnych". Zostało ono zorganizowane z okazji półwiecza istnienia czołowego w Polsce pisma poświęconego historii monet i historii pieniądza - "Wiadomości Numizmatycznych". W tomie zebrano nieco poszerzone, bogato ilustrowane teksty 11 referatów. Poprzedza je nekrolog profesora Ryszarda Kiersnowskiego - twórcy i długoletniego redaktora "Wiadomości Numizmatycznych", oraz refleksje na temat historii tego pisma. Teksty referatów podano po angielsku i po niemiecku, ale wszystkim towarzyszą streszczenia w języku polskim.
