Blues in Stereo - Langston Hughes - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Blues in Stereo - Langston Hughes - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Publishers Weekly''s Top Ten Fall 2024 Poetry Books Before Langston Hughes and his literary prowess became synonymous with American poetry, he was an eighteen-year-old on a train to Mexico City, seeking funds to pursue his passion. His early poems, beloved verses like "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," were written without formal training, often on the back of napkins and envelopes, and were inspired by the sights and sounds of Black working-class people he encountered in his early life. Blues in Stereo is a posthumous collection of these early works, in which we see Langston Hughes like we''ve never seen him before. In the intimate pages of his handwritten journals, you will travel with Hughes outside of Harlem as he ventures to the American South and Mexico, sails through the Caribbean, and becomes the only Harlem renaissance poet to visit Africa. He celebrates love as a tool of liberation in his poems and journal entries. His songs included showcase musicality of verse poetry. And the book even includes a play he co-wrote with Duke Ellington with a full score that experiments with rhythm and structure. Blues in Stereo portrays a young man coming of age in a changing world. Page by page, a young, fresh-faced Hughes contends with matters beyond his years with raw talent. National Book Award nominated poet Danez Smith offers their insight and notes on themes, challenges, and obsessions that Hughes early work contains. Blues in Stereo foreshadows a master poet that will go on to define literature for centuries to come.

Stereo(TYPE) - Jonah Mixon Webster - Bog - Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Stereo(TYPE) - Jonah Mixon Webster - Bog - Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

A radical, urgent collection of poems about Blackness, the self, and the dismantling of corrupt powers in the fight for freedom. A PEN America Literary Award Winner Jonah Mixon-Webster works at the intersections of space and the body, race and region, sexuality and class. Stereo(TYPE) , his debut collection of poetry, is a reckoning and a force, a revision of our most sacred mythologies, and a work of documentary reporting from Mixon-Webster’s hometown of Flint, Michigan, where clean tap water remains an uncertainty and the aftermath of racist policies persist. Challenging stereotypes through scenes that scatter with satire, violence, and the extreme vagaries of everyday life, Mixon-Webster invents visual/sonic forms, conceptualizes poems as transcripts and frequently asked questions, and dives into dreamscapes and modern tragedies, deconstructing the very foundations America is built on. Interrogating language and the ways we wield it as both sword and shield, Stereo(TYPE) is a one-of-a-kind, rapturous collection of vital and beautiful poems.

Viral Loop - Adam Penenberg - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

You read a book, you recommend it to a friend. That friend tells another friend. And another... until the book becomes this year''s word-of-mouth sensation. This is the first to analyze the power of the ''pass-it-on'' phenomenon, introducing us to the architects of the mightily efficient, money-spinning model known as the Viral Loop - the secret behind some of the most successful businesses in recent history. Outfits such as Google, eBay, Flickr and Facebook all employ the model at their core; all have seen their stock valuations skyrocket within years of forming. The genius lies in the model''s reliance on replication: what''s the point of using Facebook if none of your friends can see your profile, or using Flickr if you can''t share your photos? Where''s the joy in posting a video on YouTube if no one watches it? In creating a viral product that people want, need and desire, growth can, and will, take care of itself. Find out why the Loop will catch us all up, sooner rather than later...

Personal Stereo - Rebecca (independent Scholar Tuhus Dubrow - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Personal Stereo - Rebecca (independent Scholar Tuhus Dubrow - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. When the Sony Walkman debuted in 1979, people were enthralled by the novel experience it offered: immersion in the music of their choice, anytime, anywhere. But the Walkman was also denounced as self-indulgent and antisocial—the quintessential accessory for the “me” generation. In Personal Stereo , Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow takes us back to the birth of the device, exploring legal battles over credit for its invention, its ambivalent reception in 1980s America, and its lasting effects on social norms and public space. Ranging from postwar Japan to the present, Tuhus-Dubrow tells an illuminating story about our emotional responses to technological change. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic .

I is a Strange Loop - Marcus Du Sautoy - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

I is a Strange Loop - Marcus Du Sautoy - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Alone in a cube that’s glowing in the darkness, X is content within its little universe of infinite thought. This solitude is disturbed by the appearance of Y, who insists on exposing X to the richness of the physical world. Each begins to long for what the other has, luring them into a strange loop.In this play for two variables, Marcus du Sautoy and Victoria Gould use mathematics and theatre to navigate the furthest reaches of our world. Through a series of surreal episodes, X and Y tackle some of life’s greatest questions: where did the universe come from, does time have an end, do we have free will? I is a Strange Loop was first performed by the authors at the Barbican Pit, London, in March 2019.'' I is a Strange Loop is a play that plays with ideas, concepts, abstractions and relationships that are, usually, hidden from the sight of ordinary mortals, articulating the ineffable, incarnating the incorporeal, revealing the inconceivable. It makes us feel we know a great deal more than we do. It is also very funny, utterly compelling and marvellously human.'' Simon McBurney

Loop of Jade - Sarah Howe - Bog - Vintage Publishing - Plusbog.dk

*WINNER OF THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZE 2015* *WINNER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES / PETERS FRASER + DUNLOP YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2015* *SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST COLLECTION 2015* There is a Chinese proverb that says: ‘It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters.’ But geese, like daughters, know the obligation to return home. In her exquisite first collection, Sarah Howe explores a dual heritage, journeying back to Hong Kong in search of her roots.With extraordinary range and power, the poems build into a meditation on hybridity, intermarriage and love – what meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other. Crossing the bounds of time, race and language, this is an enthralling exploration of self and place, of migration and inheritance, and introduces an unmistakable new voice in British poetry.

Spatially Multiplexed Space Time Code with Low Feedback Complexity - Getachew Abey - Bog - LAP Lambert Academic Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Spatially Multiplexed Space Time Code with Low Feedback Complexity - Getachew Abey - Bog - LAP Lambert Academic Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This Manuscript exploits the diversity advantage and coding advantage of space time codes and the rate advantage of spatial multiplexing systems. A detailed analysis of the space time coding schemes such as space time block codes, CIODs, space time trellis codes, beamforming schemes and spatial multiplexing schemes using various processing algorithms are presented. The performance of the maximum eigenmode beamforming and SVD based spatial multiplexing schemes with different number of antenna configurations are compared. The detailed simulation of combined spatial multiplexing and space time coding is provided in both open loop and closed loop schemes.
