![]() Ariel Dorfman, Edith Grossman, "In Case of Fire in a Foreign Land: New and Collected Poems from Two Languages" English, Spanish | 2002 | ISBN: 0822329514, 0822329875 | PDF | pages: 173 | 0.4 mb In the world of Chilean poet Ariel Dorfman, men and women can be forced to choose between leaving their country or dying for it. The living risk losing everything, but what they hold onto-love, faith, hope, truth-might change the world. It is this subversive possibility that speaks through these poems. A succession of voices-exiles, activists, separated lovers, the families of those victimized by political violence-gives an account of ruptured safety. They bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of personal and social damage in the aftermath of terror. The first bilingual edition of Dorfman's work, In Case of Fire in a Foreign Land includes ten new poems and a new preface, and brings back into print the classic poems of the celebrated Last Waltz in Santiago. Always an eloquent voice against the ravages of inhumanity, Dorfman's poems, like his acclaimed novels, continue to be a searing testimony of hope in the midst of despair. ![]() Implementing Design Patterns in C# and .NET 5: Build Scalable, Fast, and Reliable .NET Applications Using the Most Common Design Patterns English | 2021 | ISBN: 9390684366 | 292 Pages | EPUB (True) | 15 MB ![]() Immersive Analytics By Kim Marriott English | PDF | 2018 | 365 Pages | ISBN : 3030013871 | 141.3 MB Immersive Analytics is a new research initiative that aims to remove barriers between people, their data and the tools they use for analysis and decision making.

It tackles the complex, multi-faceted subject of privacy in nineteenth-century Britain by examining the way in which the tropes, language, and imagery of the play entered public discourse about privacy in the rest of the century. The volume is not just an account of a play, or of late Georgian and Victorian theatre. Rather it is a history of privacy, showing how the play resonated through Victorian society and revealed its concerns over personal and state secrecy, celebrity, gossip and scandal, postal espionage, virtual privacy, the idea of intimacy, and the evolution of public and private spheres. |
