 Pat Albeck: Queen of the Tea Towel by English | October 26th, 2018 | ISBN: 1911358464 | 112 pages | True EPUB | 37.82 MB Pat Albeck, who died in September 2017, was a prolific and well-known textile and homewear designer, affectionately known as 'the Queen of the Tea Towel'. Her obituary appeared in The Times and the Guardian, and she was the guest on Desert Island Discs a few years ago. Pat started designing in the 1950s and continued working throughout her life, including for John Lewis and Emma Bridgewater. She's best known for her work with the National Trust, for whom she designed some 300 tea towels from the 1970s to the present day.  Parentheticals in Spoken English: The Syntax-Prosody Relation By Nicole Dehé 2014 | 257 Pages | ISBN: 0521761921 | PDF | 17 MB Taking both an empirical and a theoretical view of the prosodic phrasing of parentheticals in English, this book reviews the syntactic and prosodic literature on parentheticals along with relevant theoretical work at the syntax-prosody interface. It offers a detailed prosodic analysis of six types of parentheticals - full parenthetical clauses, non-restrictive relative clauses, nominal appositions, comment clauses, reporting verbs, and question tags, all taken from the spoken part of the British Component of the International Corpus of English. To date, the common assumption is that, by default, parentheticals are prosodically phrased separately, an assumption which, as this study shows, is not always in line with the predictions made by current prosodic theory. The present study provides new empirical evidence for the prosodic phrasing of parentheticals in spontaneous and semi-spontaneous spoken English, and offers new implications for a theory of linguistic interfaces.

Karen Messing, "Pain and Prejudice" English | ISBN: 1771131470 | 2014 | 168 pages | EPUB | 2 MB In 1978, when workers at a nearby phosphate refinery learned that the ore they processed was contaminated with radioactive dust, Karen Messing, then a new professor of molecular genetics, was called in to help. Unsure of what to do with her discovery that exposure to the radiation was harming the workers and their families, Messing contacted senior colleagues but they wouldn't help. Neither the refinery company nor the scientific community was interested in the scary results of her chromosome studies.  John Martin Fischer, "Our Fate: Essays on God and Free Will" English | ISBN: 0199311293 | 2016 | 256 pages | PDF | 102 MB Our Fate is a collection of John Martin Fischer's previously published articles on the relationship between God's foreknowledge and human freedom. The book contains a new introductory essay that places all of the chapters in the book into a cohesive framework. The introductory essay also  Osogbo and the Art of Heritage: Monuments, Deities, and Money By Peter Probst 2011 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0253222958 | PDF | 6 MB Why has the home of a Yoruba river goddess become a UNESCO World Heritage site and a global attraction? Every year, tens of thousands of people from around the world visit the sacred grove of Osun, Osogbo's guardian deity, to attend her festival. Peter Probst takes readers on a riveting journey to Osogbo. He explores the history of the Osogbo School, which helped introduce one style of African modern art to the West, and investigates its intimate connection with Osun, the role of art and religion in the changing world of Osogbo, and its prominence in the global arena.  Oscillator Representation in Quantum Physics by M. Dineykhan English | PDF | 1995 | 281 Pages | ISBN : 3540590854 | 10.8 MB This book describes in detail the oscillator representation method and its application to an approximate solution of the Schrödinger equation with an appropriate interaction Hamiltonian. The method also works well in quantum field theory in the strong coupling regime in calculations of path integrals, as explained by the authors. Furthermore, spectral problems in quantum mechanics are treated.  Orthogonal Polynomials on the Unit Circle - Part 1 : Classical Theory By Barry Simon 2004 | 496 Pages | ISBN: 0821834460 | DJVU | 4 MB This two-part volume gives a comprehensive overview of the theory of probability measures on the unit circle, viewed especially in terms of the orthogonal polynomials defined by those measures. A major theme involves the connections between the Verblunsky coefficients (the coefficients of the recurrence equation for the orthogonal polynomials) and the measures, an analog of the spectral theory of one-dimensional Schrodinger operators. Among the topics discussed along the way are the asymptotics of Toeplitz determinants (Szego's theorems), limit theorems for the density of the zeros of orthogonal polynomials, matrix representations for multiplication by $z$ (CMV matrices), periodic Verblunsky coefficients from the point of view of meromorphic functions on hyperelliptic surfaces, and connections between the theories of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and on the real line. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in analysis.  Alex Woloch, "Or Orwell: Writing and Democratic Socialism" English | 2016 | ISBN: 0674282485 | PDF | pages: 433 | 13.4 mb There have been many studies of George Orwell's life and work, but nothing quite like this book by Alex Woloch―an exuberant, revisionary account of Orwell's writing.  On Michael Haneke By Brian Price, John David Rhodes 2010 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0814334059 | PDF | 26 MB Austrian director Michael Haneke is recognized for films that explore the most pressing social questions of our time while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of style with innovative visual and sonic practices. On Michael Haneke is one of the very first and most extensive considerations of Haneke's work. Editors Brian Price and John David Rhodes have gathered contributors whose own work combines critical inquiry and close formal analysis to explore the philosophical, historical, and stylistic complexity of Haneke's films. This volume is divided into three parts, beginning with "Violence and Play," in which contributors explore the relation in Haneke's films between violence and playfulness that complicates questions of media, representation, and morality. Essays in part 2, "Style and Medium," investigate Haneke's stylistic innovation and the ways in which he can be seen as indebted to previous traditions and filmmakers, including the Italian neorealists, Alfred Hitchcock, Antonioni, and Robert Bresson. Part 3 addresses questions of "Culture and Conflict" by looking at the cultural and historical problems suggested by Haneke's films and exploring the relation between culture and film style. On Michael Haneke is both an introduction to the work of a major figure in world cinema and a model for modern media criticism. Scholars of film and television studies, cinephiles, and anyone interested in contemporary film culture will enjoy On Michael Haneke. |
