Flat Protagonists - Marta Figlerowicz - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Flat Protagonists - Marta Figlerowicz - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

We''ve all encountered protagonists who, over the course of a novel, turn out to be more complicated than we thought at first. But what does one do with a major character who simplifies as a novel progresses, to the point where even this novel''s other characters begin to disregard him? Flat Protagonists shows that writers have undertaken such formal experiments-which give rise to its titular "flat protagonists"-since the novel''s incipience. It finds such characters in British and French novels ranging from the late-seventeenth to the early-twentieth century by Aphra Behn, Isabelle de Charrière, Françoise de Graffigny, Thomas Hardy, and Marcel Proust. Marta Figlerowicz argues that these uncommon flat protagonists challenge our larger views about the novel as a genre. Upending a longstanding tradition of valuing characters for their complexity, Figlerowicz proposes that novels, and their characters, should be appreciated for highlighting the limits to how much attention any particular person''s self-expression tends to garner, and how much insight anyone has to offer her community. As invitations to consider how we might come across to others, rather than merely how others come across to us, flat protagonists both subvert and complement the more conventional approach to novels as, at their best, sites of instruction in interpersonal empathy.

Digitizing Flat Media - Joy M. Perrin - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Digitizing Flat Media - Joy M. Perrin - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Here is a concise guide to the nuts and bolts of converting flat media (books, papers, maps, posters, slides, micro formats, etc) into digital files. It provides librarians and archivists with the practical knowledge to understand the process and decision making in the digitization of flat media. Instead of having to learn by trial and error, they will get a well-rounded education of the practical aspects of digitization and have a better understanding of their options. This is the stuff they don’t teach you in school. People can be lured into thinking that all it takes to digitize something is a scanner and some metadata. This guide illustrates the practical aspects of digitization such as:·the physical challenges of scanning books without cutting the spine, ·the differences between a “scanner” that uses a scanning head vs a “scanner” that uses a camera, ·the different options for workflow for digitized items, and ·the reasons for choosing one scanner over another for reasons other than price. Digitizing Flat Media: Principles and Practices is intended to give librarians and archivists the benefit a seasoned digitization professional guiding them and helping them figure out exactly what needs to be done when.

Flat Panel Displays - S M Kelly - Bog - Royal Society of Chemistry - Plusbog.dk

Flat Panel Displays - S M Kelly - Bog - Royal Society of Chemistry - Plusbog.dk

Liquid crystals and electroluminescent organic materials have a wide commercial application in flat panel displays, in products such as clocks, navigational aids and laptop computers. Traditionally there has been a divide between the two fields of organic materials research and industrial activity. This book aims to bridge that gap and provide a standard reference work for all those involved. Starting with the first prototype and moving chapter by chapter through developments to the present day, Flat Panel Displays: Advanced Organic Materials describes the display type device specifications and material development. With clear descriptions and diagrams, the reader is presented with the fundamental properties of liquid crystals and electroluminescent organic compounds, along with the mode of operation of the displays using them. Written in a non-mathematical way, this book will be welcomed by chemists, physicists and materials scientists in both industry and research.

Metallurgical Design of Flat Rolled Steels - Vladimir B. Ginzburg - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Metallurgical Design of Flat Rolled Steels - Vladimir B. Ginzburg - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book outlines the basic principles of metallurgical design of flat rolled steels to obtain flat steel products with required metallurgical and mechanical properties. These principles establish the requirements for steel chemical composition and the process parameters, including steelmaking, reheating, hot rolling, annealing and cold rolling. Metallurgical Design of Flat Rolled Steels reviews the current theories and experimental works conducted in this area, and gives a comparative analysis of the obtained results in application to a large variety of steels produced around the world. This guide presents essential material in a fashion that permits rapid application to practical problems while providing the structure and understanding necessary for long-term growth. It first explains how the components fit and work together to make a successful experimental design, then analyzes each component in detail, presenting the various approaches in the form of menus of different strategies and options. Then the text illustrates equations developed by various researchers and compares them in both table and graphic forms. Written in a clear and concise manner, the material is presented using a modular or "building block" approach so readers get to see how the entire structure fits together and learn the essential techniques and terminology necessary to develop more complex designs and analyses.

Schools Of Art - - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Schools Of Art - - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

A photographic survey of UK schools of art by artist Matthew Cornford and writer John Beck. Contemporary colour photographs of these often architecturally significant buildings are accompanied by captions detailing each art school’s history. Cumulatively they reveal the changes undergone by many of these vital institutions and offer a reflection on the state of art education today. Artist Matthew Cornford and writer John Beck studied at art school in Great Yarmouth in the early 1980s. Three decades later they found the building boarded up and for sale. Was the closure of this art school of simply local significance, they wondered, or part of a broader story about the changing place of art and art education in the country? Combining fieldwork and archival digging, over the last ten years the pair have explored the towns and cities of the United Kingdom, building a photographic record of each art school building, or the site upon which it stood, and compiling a capsule history of each institution. Cumulatively, the images are a reminder of quite how many art schools there were in the UK, with over 150 still in operation as recently as the 1960s. As contemporary photographs, the images also speak to a complex and varied history of amalgamations, closures, renovations, demolitions and shifting priorities in art education and beyond. Schools Of Art is a selection of 75 photographs and captions from Beck and Cornford’s ongoing survey, covering the celebrated and the forgotten, the repurposed and the dismantled institutions that fuelled and shaped the creative life of the UK for over a hundred and fifty years. Among the questions raised by this work are fundamental ones regarding the value and significance of arts education and its contribution to the health and prosperity of our towns and cities.

Soap, Science, and Flat-Screen TVs - Tim Sluckin - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Soap, Science, and Flat-Screen TVs - Tim Sluckin - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The terms ''liquid crystal'' or ''liquid crystal display'' (LCD) are well-known in the context of flat-screen televisions, but the properties and history of liquid crystals are little understood. This book tells the story of liquid crystals, from their controversial discovery at the end of the nineteenth century, to their eventual acceptance as another state of matter to rank alongside gases, liquids and solids. As their story unfolds, the scientists involved and their works are put into illuminating broader socio-political contexts. In recent years, liquid crystals have had a major impact on the display industry, culminating in the now widely available flat-screen televisions; this development is described in detail over three chapters, and the basic science behind it is explained in simple terms accessible to a general reader. New applications of liquid crystals in materials, bio-systems, medicine and technology are also explained.The authors'' approach to the subject defines a new genre of popular science books. The historical background to the scientific discoveries is given in detail, and the personal communications between the scientists involved are explored. The book tells the story of liquid crystals, but it also shows that scientific discovery and exploitation relies on human interactions, and the social and political environments in which they work.

Flat-woven Rugs & Textiles from the Caucasus - Robert H. Nooter - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Flat-woven Rugs & Textiles from the Caucasus - Robert H. Nooter - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book fills a void in Western texts by presenting the largest selection of Caucasian flat-woven carpets and textiles ever included in a single book. They originate in the region south of the Caucasus Mountains and west of the Caspian Sea, bounded by Russian, Turkey, and Iran, and comprising parts of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The book, with 436 beautiful color photographs, includes an extensive selection of old kilims, zilis, khorjins, and one of the most extensive collections of Caucasian mafrash bedding bags ever assembled. They date generally from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Weaving styles of the nomadic, indigenous peoples produce the rich mixture of geometric and figurative forms recognized as uniquely Caucasian. A fascinating description of the author's field visits to villages in the Caucasus accompanies illustrations of the textiles and peoples found there. The origins of these pieces are discussed through comparisons with artifacts in the Russian Ethnographic Museum in St. Petersburg. A unique feature is weaving examples by two Georgian ethnic sub-groups, the Tushetians and the Khevsuretis. The result is invaluable information regarding the weaving origins of Caucasian flat-woven textiles for collectors and curators, and richly colored pictorials that will inspire designers and artists.

Zoltar The Magnificent - Kieron Livingstone - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Zoltar The Magnificent - Kieron Livingstone - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Zoltar The Magnificent was formed in 2002 in London’s Soho. A clothing store and book shop, an installation and an art gallery, since then it has existed as both a widely acclaimed international fashion label, as well as an underground artistic collaborator. Fusing both fashion and art, they continue to infiltrate creative institutions, rupturing expectations of visual culture. To celebrate ten years of guerrilla activity Zoltar have created their first comprehensive collection of complete works to date; a cardinal silkbound, gold-embossed book, echoing the craft and design of ancient religious texts, documenting the continued machinations of this art, fashion and design house. Zoltar has produced many notable collaborations, including a major film commission by Nike in 2010 for their World Cup teams, another with actor Rhys Ifans, and lending their trademark style to the windows in Selfridges to curating Frank 151 magazine, and working with artists from famed photographer Mick Rock to New York surrealist painter Robert Hawkins. The Zoltar clothing range, designed by Macmillan and Livingstone, has also been fuelled by collaborations with notable designers Bella Freud and Anita Pallenberg. Never conforming and consistently innovating Zoltar’s attempts at cultural terrorism continue to dominate. Confrontational, combative and cutting-edge; Zoltar is in many ways really quite magnificent. “Zoltar was born bastard child of acid house and punk rock. A molotov cocktail of art, film and clothing. One Part social comment and One part sartorial excellence…..Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” - Dan Macmillan, Project Zoltar.

Flat and Curved Space-Times - G. F. R. Ellis - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Flat and Curved Space-Times - G. F. R. Ellis - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The present book explains special relativity and the basics of general relativity from a geometric viewpoint. Space-time geometry is emphasised throughout, and provides the basis of understanding of the special relativity effects of time dilation, length contraction, and the relativity of simultaneity. Bondi''s K-calculus is introduced as a simple means of calculating the magnitudes of these effects, and leads to a derivation of the Lorentz transformation as a way of unifying these results. The invariant interval of flat space-time is generalised to that of curved space-times, and leads to an understanding of the basic properties of simple cosmological models and of the collapse of a star to form a black hole. The appendices enable the advanced student to master the application of four-tensors to the relativistic study of energy and momentum, and of electromagnetism. In addition, this new edition contains up-to-date information on black holes, gravitational collapse, and cosmology.

Werner Bischof: Questions To My Father - Werner Bischof - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Werner Bischof: Questions To My Father - Werner Bischof - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Werner Bischof was a singular post-war photographer. His focus on showing the poverty and despair around him in Europe was tempered with a desire to travel the world, and convey the beauty and humanity waiting to be discovered through his lens. Tragically his inspirational life was cut short by a car accident in Peru, but his legacy lives on, and here his son Marco presents 70 of his father's photographs, never before published. In 1916, with the Great War reducing northern Europe to a treeless, shattered void, a boy was born to the prosperous director of a pharmaceutical firm in Zurich. He was named Werner. It was not an auspicious time to be born and, indeed, his mother died soon after. As a child, young Werner sought order in his life by dissecting snails and photographing, in the limpid light of his creation, the elegant whorls revealed. He did not become the physical training instructor (a compromise) his father wanted him to be. He did not become the painter he had once wanted to be in Paris in 1939, on the brink of another devastating conflict. He became Werner Bischof, the man, and a photographer of incalculable artistry who found in both order and the chaos he confronted and experienced a sublime beauty, a humanity that was singularly his own. His photographs of the post-war Europe in poverty and despair expressed infinite hope for the human condition; yet he was only 29. Less than 10 years later he was dead, leaving behind among his last photographs that of a Peruvian child playing his flute on the edge of a ravine. It is now an iconic photograph, and has a fatal allure. Bischof died when his jeep plunged over a ravine in the Andes on a quest for the faces, the lives, of harmony there. Fifty years later his son Marco has gathered together 70 previously unpublished photographs by Werner Bischof. They powerfully reiterate the man his father was, the nature of his humanity and his search for a benign and beautiful cognisance of the brief and terrifying world he lived in.
