 Free Download Lord Martin Rees, "Our Cosmic Habitat: New Edition" English | 2017 | pages: 232 | ISBN: 0691178097 | EPUB | 2,0 mb Our universe seems strangely ''biophilic,'' or hospitable to life. Is this happenstance, providence, or coincidence? According to cosmologist Martin Rees, the answer depends on the answer to another question, the one posed by Einstein's famous remark: ''What interests me most is whether God could have made the world differently.'' This highly engaging book explores the fascinating consequences of the answer being ''yes.'' Rees explores the notion that our universe is just a part of a vast ''multiverse,'' or ensemble of universes, in which most of the other universes are lifeless. What we call the laws of nature would then be no more than local bylaws, imposed in the aftermath of our own Big Bang. In this scenario, our cosmic habitat would be a special, possibly unique universe where the prevailing laws of physics allowed life to emerge.  Free Download Our Brain and the News: The Psychophysiological Impact of Journalism English | 2024 | ISBN: 303151159X | 145 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB This book explores the impact of news and literary journalism on human cognition and emotion. Providing an innovative analysis of psycho-physiological measures, including emotional response, perception of pain, and changes in heartbeat, Nery seeks to understand how readers react to journalistic texts. There is a growing enthusiasm in the search for understanding the processing of information, with some already arguing for the establishment of the neuroscience of communication as a new discipline. By combing neuroscience methods with communication research studies, specifically journalistic research and theory, Nery offers us a unique way of exploring and thinking about news, literary journalism, and the brain.

Free Download Other British and Irish poetry since 1970 By Richard Caddel, Peter Quartermain 1999 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 0819522414 | EPUB | 1 MB When most Americans think of contemporary British poetry, they think of such mainstream poets as Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin, and Geoffrey Hill. Yet there is a vibrant, diverse alternative poetry movement in the UK, inspired in large measure by the work of such significant mentors as Basil Bunting and J. H. Prynne. There is growing interest in this work in the United States - as alternative American poetries express increasingly transnational concerns - and yet almost none of it is available here. OTHER is a highly focused anthology bringing together several important strands of English-language poetry that are not otherwise so readily accessible. It includes work by 55 poets, among them Cris Cheek, Brian Coffey, Fred d'Aguiar, Allen Fisher, Ulli Freer, Randolph Healy, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Wendy Mulford, Tom Raworth, Denise Riley, Catherine Walsh; a critical introduction addressing such topics as the interaction of British and American poetic traditions; and brief biographical and bibliographical notes on each poet.### From ✅Publishers WeeklyThough England has seen a spate of recent anthologies of alternative U.K. poetry, this collection marks the first published in the States in more than two decades. Caddel, a noted poet, and Quartermain, a prominent critic of postmodern poetry, collect a diverse and exciting range of work that is evenly balanced between such trends as Caribbean dub poetry; the mellifluous, baroque lyric as it has been developed in Cambridge; London-based performance and concrete poetry; and "outsider" figures such as Bill Griffiths (an independent Anglo-Saxon scholar) and Tom Raworth, whose Reverdy-inspired early lyrics first found appreciation in the States. The compelling introduction portrays a late-millennium English milieu that is marked by overlapping ethnicities and class perspectives, but that traces an experimental tradition "back to Claire, Blake, Smart, and the two Vaughans, Henry and Thomas." The selections from the 55 poets are brief yet excellent. Barry McSweeney, a self-styled Rimbaudian, is represented by a number of terse, direct poems that flaunt provocative language. Denise Riley's subtle, tradition-conscious ear allows lines that are unexpectedly comforting, while Raworth's "That More Simple Natural Time Tone Distortion," a sonic joy-ride of one- to three-word lines that bristle with pixilated narrative, is a contrast to his traditional short lyric "Out of a Sudden." Tom Leonard's Glasgow Scots, not unlike John Agard's Guyanese-inflected idiom, brings to eye and ear a sweet, confident music that is unlike anything in this country. Veronica Forrest-Thomson, a poet and critic who died at 28; Chris Cheek; Maggie O'Sullivan and concrete poet Bob Cobbing are all well represented, as are important figures who guided the influx of New American poetry to the islands: Eric Mottram, Roy Fisher and Andrew Crozier. This is an important sourcebook to a literature that is probably more marked by the multiculturalist energy and divergences from the main modernist line than that of the United States.

This work of 55 poets?the first significant anthology of experimental verse from the U.K. available here in 25 years?demonstrates how Objectivist, Projectivist, Beat, and Caribbean influences have infiltrated the tradition-bound isles of Hughes and Heaney, as standard punctuation and stanzaic forms give way to impressionistic word-streams and open-field constructions. The approach may be visual (Bob Cobbing), political (Barry MacSweeney, Amyrl Johnson), or conceptual (Maggie O'Sullivan, Catherine Walsh), but to readers of Language and other postmodern schools much of it may actually seem a bit restrained, as if its practitioners had achieved the style but not the anarchic spirit of their American progenitors. Still, this anthology is a valuable document of poetic trends that are likely to continue overseas through the next decade.?Fred Muratori, Cornell Univ.

Free Download Oscillatory Stability of Converter-Dominated Power Systems English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031533569 | 256 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 79 MB This book provides modeling, analysis, and control methods for wideband oscillations caused by control interactions in converter-dominated power systems. The modern power system comprises power electronic devices in various forms, including wind turbines, photovoltaics, flexible AC/DC transmission systems, battery energy storage systems, and distributed generations, among others. Unstable oscillation modes can cause equipment damage, sudden power reduction, noise in power transformers, and degradation of power quality. Wideband oscillation seriously threatens the stable and reliable operation of wind power systems.

The text includes the classification of differential equations which admits orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions and several two-dimensional analogies of classical orthogonal polynomials.
