Amy Tan: A Literary Companion (Mcfarland Literary Companions)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn the mid?1980s, Amy Tan was a successful but unhappy corporate speechwriter. By the end of the decade, she was perched firmly atop the best-seller lists with The Joy Luck Club, with more popular novels to follow. Tan?s work?once pigeonholed as ethnic literature?resonates with universal themes that cross cultural and ideological boundaries, and prove wildly successful with readers of all stripes. Tender, sincere, complex, honest and uncompromising in its portrayal of Chinese culture and its affect on women, Amy Tan?s work earned her both praise and excoriation from critics, adoration from fans, and a place as one of America?s most notable modern writers. This reference work introduces and summarizes Amy Tan?s life, her body of literature, and her characters. The main text is comprised of entries covering characters, dates, historical figures and events, allusions, motifs and themes from her works. The entries combine… [detailed...]

An AARP Guide: Living with Heart Disease: Everything You Need to Know to Safeguard Your Health and Take Control of Your Life

2007 y.
Publisher: Sterling
Description: Chronic heart disease—heart attacks and strokes—causes more than 40 percent of all deaths in the United States. That’s 950,000 people each year or one person every 33 seconds. Statistically more vulnerable with age, hundreds of men and women begin the struggle to manage or prevent its occurrence every day. So naturally it’s on the mind of older Americans and the family members who cherish them. What exactly is heart disease—and what forms does it take? Who gets it, and how is it diagnosed? What steps can you take to prevent the problem from worsening? Which are the best therapies? How can you best reduce stress, lower weight, control blood pressure? AARP has the answers. The superbly organized and authoritative text includes chapters covering key issues, which range from definition to diagnosis and from treatment to lifestyle changes that address issues specifically identified with heart disease. These include: nutrition, high cholesterol, prevention, smoking, and sex and… [detailed...]

Charlotte Harris
An Abandoned Mind

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Description Dr Harry Crow, about whose work you will read in this honest and compelling story, often used to refer to people with severe obessive compulsive disorder (OCD) as being `hag-ridden` by their disease. This term gives the reader some inkling of the sort of battle which Charlotte Harris has had to fight in order to emerge, so successfully, from her illness. The bravery which people who have OCD need, in order to face the world and continue to be in it, is demonstrated amply in these pages. Charlotte underwent a form of treatment, multi focal leukocoagulation, which is no longer performed. All forms of what were then called `psychosurgery` have become almost entirely unfashionable and are sometimes seen as some form of torture carried out on people who simply have `mental health issues`. This is so far from the truth as to be laughable and Charlotte`s account is an important testimony to the error of that view. Her illness was terrible and disabling and called for… [detailed...]

Madeleine L`Engle
An Acceptable Time

2007 y.
Publisher: Square Fish
Description: It was a dark and stormy night, Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger. `Wild nights are my glory,` the unearthly stranger told them. `I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I`ll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract.` A tesseract (in case the reader doesn`t know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L`Engle`s unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O`Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg`s father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. [detailed...]

Gregory Corso
An Accidental Autobiography: The Selected Letters

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFabulous letters from the vagabond Beat poet to his friends?among them Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. For all his charm and intelligence poet Gregory Corso lived a vagabond life. He never held down a regular job. He rarely stayed very long under the same roof. He spent long stretches?some as long as four or five years?abroad. Many of his letters came from Europe?France, England, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Greece?as he kept in touch with his circle of friends?among them his best friend Allen Ginsberg and a steady supporter, Lawrence Ferlinghetti. He left (or was left by) a number of girlfriends and he fathered five children along the way. He was apt to raise a bit of a ruckus at poetry readings andother public events. No one could be sure what he might do next except that he would write poetry and get it published and that it would be widely read. When the idea of a book of selected letters was first proposed, Gregory had… [detailed...]

Publisher: Vintage
Description: This is the story of the comic and yet relentless struggle for survival of Austin Gibson Grey, the accidental man. Austin is one of those people who needs to survive through the destruction of others. The others, in Austin`s case, include his successful elder brother, Matthew, and the women who, one after the other, are so touchingly convinced that they can `save` him. In this latter role we meet Austin`s estranged wife, Dorina, a crazed angel, and Austin`s far from angelic alcoholic landlady, Mitzi. Other women interest themselves too in Austin`s fate, with hilarious and appalling results.

An Acre of Glass: A History and Forecast of the Telescope

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ever since Galileo glimpsed the moons of Jupiter through his tiny telescope, astronomers have striven to understand how the universe is constructed and how it evolves. Every increase in the size and power of telescopes has led to new discoveries. Within the last century, telescopes have enabled us to learn about pulsars, quasars, gamma-ray bursters, black holes, and the acceleration of the universe`s expansion. An Acre of Glass describes how recent innovations in telescope technology have led to the construction of giant, ground-based observatories and to an explosive development of astronomy. Today, telescopes with mirrors 30, 50, and even 100 meters in diameter are being built. Optical interferometers that cover an acre of ground are observing every night. J. B. Zirker shows us how telescopes past, present, and future are built and describes the exciting science they reveal -- from planets beyond our solar system to supermassive black holes at the core of distant galaxies….
