Ralph Rucci: The Art of Weightlessness

2007 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: Working quietly and without much public attention for more than 20 years, American fashion designer Ralph Rucci suddenly became a headline topic in 2002, when he was invited to show his collection at the haute couture in Paris—the first American to receive such an invitation since Mainbocher in the 1930s. This sumptuously illustrated book is the first to explore in depth Rucci’s life and work, including the inspirations behind the extraordinarily beautiful and very expensive clothes he creates. The contributors to the volume explore many aspects of Rucci’s genius and emergence as a master in the fashion world. Valerie Steele places his life and work in the context of modern fashion history and discusses his connections with such figures as Balenciaga and Halston. Patricia Mears closely examines the garments he designs, reveals what makes them so special, and considers influences on his work. Clare Sauro describes Rucci’s accessories, which complete the aesthetic vision that his… [detailed...]

Ralph W. Yarborough, the People`s Senator

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Revered by many Texans and other Americans as `the People`s Senator,` Ralph Webster Yarborough (1903-1996) fought for `the little people` in a political career that places him in the ranks of the most influential leaders in Texas history. The only U. S. Senator representing a former Confederate state to vote for every significant piece of modern civil rights legislation, Yarborough became a cornerstone of Lyndon Johnson`s Great Society programs in the areas of education, environmental preservation, and health care. In doing so, he played a major role in the social and economic modernization of Texas and the American South. He often defied conventional political wisdom with his stands against powerful political interests and with his vocal opposition to the Vietnam War. Yet to this day, his admirers speak of Yarborough as an inspiration for public service and a model of political independence and integrity. This biography offers the first in-depth look at the life and career of… [detailed...]

Rama the Steadfast: An Early Form of the Ramayana

2007 y.
Publisher: Penguin Classics
Description: The Ramayana (along with the Mahabharata) is to India what the epics of Homer and the stories of the Bible are to Western culture: works that cast a spell over an entire civilization. It is also one of the most entertaining of the great works of world literature. Populated with a cast of superhuman characters and imbued with a profound sense of moral purpose, the magical tale of the young prince Rama’s adventures as he seeks to find his abducted wife, Sita, has been central to Indian cultural life for centuries—told to children as bedtime stories and studied by philosophers and theologians. This version returns to the core story in its earliest written form, revealing a taut, vibrant, skillfully constructed heroic romance. [detailed...]

Hardy from nursing homes. [detailed...]

Ramayana Of Valmiki: An Epic Of Ancient India (Princeton Library of Asian Translations), Vol. VI, Yuddhakanda

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The sixth book of the Ramayana of Valmiki, the Yuddhakanda, recounts the final dramatic war between the forces of good led by the exiled prince Rama, and the forces of evil commanded by the arch demon Ravana. The hero Rama`s primary purpose in the battle is to rescue the abducted princess Sita and destroy the demon king. However, the confrontation also marks the turning point for the divine mission of the Ramavatara, the incarnation of Lord Visnu as a human prince, who will restore righteousness to a world on the brink of chaos. The book ends with the gods` revelation to Rama of his true divine nature, his emotional reunion with his beloved wife, his long-delayed consecration as king of Kosala, and his restoration of a utopian age. The Yuddhakanda contains some of the most extraordinary events and larger-than-life characters to be found anywhere in world literature. This sixth volume in the critical edition and translation of the Valmiki Ramayana includes an extensive introduction,… [detailed...]

Ramayana Stories in Modern South India: An Anthology

2008 y.
Publisher: Indiana University Press
Description: While some religious texts may remain static over time, the `Ramayana` epic has been retold in a variety of ways over the centuries and across South Asia. Some of the narrative`s most probing and innovative re-tellings have appeared in print in the last 100 years in the region of South India. This collection brings together, for the first time, modern re-tellings translated from the four major South Indian languages and from genres as diverse as drama, short stories, poetry, and folk song. The selections focus on characters generally seen as stigmatized or marginalized, and on themes largely overlooked in previous scholarship. The editor Paula Richman demonstrates that twentieth-century authors have used re-tellings of the `Ramayana` to question caste and gender inequality in provocative ways. This engaging anthology includes translations of 22 primary texts along with interpretive essays that provide background and frameworks for understanding the stories. [detailed...]

Ramble: A Field Guide to the U.S.A.

2006 y.
Publisher: Speck Press
Description: Ramble is a hybrid travel guide/travelogue based in fact, but-like a good road trip-is ultimately a flight of fancy, a departure from the usual. Disinfected of the P. R.-inspired copy that dominates travel writing, this book celebrates the USA as the best destination in the world for a road trip because-not in spite-of its warts. Highlighting the country`s 250 most definitively American attractions and six of its most mythic road trips, seasoned travel writer Eric Peterson describes seven regions (from coast to coast) with a sociologist-meets-Gonzo-writing-style, bellying up to the ugly truth and the bizarre at every stop. Each regional chapter offers maps, oddball stats, as well as required reading, viewing, and listening, and about thirty to forty listings per area of not-so-run-of-the-mill tourist destinations (think: graves, vices, sin, grub, sleeps, drinks, American lore, and the like). As a topper, a predestined road trip is presented to the reader, with… [detailed...]

Denis Diderot
Rameau`s Nephew and First Satire (Oxford World`s Classics)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In his brilliant and witty dialogue, Denis Diderot invents a chance encounter in a Paris cafe between two acquaintances. Their talk ranges broadly across art, music, education, and the contemporary scene, as the nephew of composer Rameau, amoral and bohemian, alternately shocks and amuses the moral, bourgeois figure of his interlocutor. Exuberant and highly entertaining, the dialogue exposes the corruption of society in Diderot`s characteristic philosophical exploration. The debates of the French Enlightenment speak to us vividly in this sparkling new translation, which also includes the only English translation of First Satire, a related work that provides the context for Rameau`s Nephew, Diderot`s `second satire.` Edited by distinguished translator Margaret Mauldon, with lively introduction and notes by Nicholas Cronk, the edition includes, for the first time in English, extracts from Goethe`s commentary on this seminal Enlightenment work. It will prove a valuable addition to the… [detailed...]

Ramification: Mathematics, Complex Number, Square Root, Degeneracy, Covering Space, Riemann?Hurwitz Formula, Complex Analysis, Riemann Surface, Branch Point, Euler Characteristic

Publisher: —
Description: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, ramification is a geometric term used for `branching out`, in the way that the square root function, for complex numbers, can be seen to have two branches differing in sign. It is also used from the opposite perspective (branches coming together) as when a covering map degenerates at a point of a space, with some collapsing together of the fibers of the mapping. In complex analysis, the basic model can be taken as the z to zn mapping in the complex plane, near z = 0. This is the standard local picture in Riemann surface theory, of ramification of order n. It occurs for example in the Riemann?Hurwitz formula for the effect of mappings on the genus. See also branch point. [detailed...]

Ramona Memories: Tourism and the Shaping of Southern California

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The most important woman in the history of southern California never lived. The eponymous heroine of Helen Hunt Jackson`s popular 1884 novel Ramona, a half-Indian beauty raised on a wealthy Mexican rancho, nonetheless left an indelible imprint on southern California`s landscape. Within a year of its publication, landmarks identified with Ramona`s fictional life - her birthplace, her home, the site of her wedding, and her grave - became important, even canonical parts of a visit to southern California. One could take the Ramona freeway to town, cook like Ramona, and smell like Ramona. The novel`s romanticized version of California`s Hispanic past also inspired films, songs, musical instruments, jewelry, clothes, beer, wine, canned goods, collectibles, and a play that still draws thirty thousand people annually. Although historians and other writers have acknowledged Ramona`s importance in the shaping of southern California`s regional identity, there has never been an in-depth… [detailed...]

Description: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ramsey theory, named after Frank P. Ramsey, is a branch of mathematics that studies the conditions under which order must appear. Problems in Ramsey theory typically ask a question of the form: `how many elements of some structure must there be to guarantee that a particular property will hold?`Suppose, for example, that we know that n pigeons have been housed in m pigeonholes. How big must n be before we can be sure that at least one pigeonhole houses at least two pigeons? The answer is the pigeonhole principle: if n >, m, then at least one pigeonhole will have at least two pigeons in it. Ramsey`s theory generalizes this principle as explained below. [detailed...]
