Set to Music: And Other Stories

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: grandmother. About The Book Gems of the imagination flow effortlessly from the pen of Fran Edelstein in this powerful collection of short stories. Composed of seven tales, Set to Music takes you on a dramatic journey into the very depths of the human heart. Spanning six countries and two continents, the title short story, `Set to Music,` tells of Anne, a pianist faced with an overwhelming obstacle that only love-and perhaps even a miracle-can transcend. An island resort provides a quiet retreat for a parent`s soul-searching in `Head Over Heart,` while `Deedu` is a tender and engaging story about a special friendship between a child and a Russian immigrant. Sweeping away time, two World War II survivors uniquely relive their past as they meet again in `Lilacs,` and life and death in a hospital morgue create a curious dialogue about how we as humans navigate this world in `The Paper Boat.` In `The Road Ahead,` doubts and fears turn to triumphs for a group of actors… [detailed...]

L`uomo si chiama Herve Joncour. Il lago non si sa. Si potrebbe dire che e una storia d`amore. Ma se fosse soltanto quello, non sarebbe valsa la pena di raccontarla. Ci sono di mezzo dei desideri, e dei dolori, che sai benissimo cosa sono, ma un nome vero, per dirli, non ce l`hai…` Alessandro Baricco [detailed...]

Keith Devlin
Sets, Functions, and Logic: An Introduction to Abstract Mathematics

2004 y.
Publisher: Chapman &, Hall/CRC
Description: Author Keith Devlin has fully reworked his standard-setting `Sets, Functions, and Logic: An Introduction to Abstract Mathematics` to create a third edition that reflects a new generation of student. The narrative is even livelier and less textbook-like than before. Remarks and asides link the topics presented to the real world of students` experience. Some material from the earlier editions has been discarded in favor of more exercises, and Devlin has added a new introductory chapter on the nature of mathematics - one that motivates readers and sets the stage for the challenges that tie ahead. Students crossing the bridge from calculus to higher mathematics need and deserve all the help they can get. The third edition of `Sets, Functions, and Logic` is a little book that they not only can afford, but will actually read… and enjoy… and learn from. Features: Helps readers adopt the difficult new mode of thinking they need to make the transition to the… [detailed...]

Sets, Logic and Maths for Computing (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: University studies in computing require the ability to pass from a concrete problem to an abstract representation, reason with the abstract structure, and return with useful solutions to the specific situation. The tools for developing these skills are in part qualitative – concepts such as set, relation, function, and structures such as trees and well-founded orders. They are also in part quantitative – notably elementary combinatorics and finite probability. Recurring in all of these are instruments of proof, both purely logical ones (such as proof by contradiction) and mathematical (the various forms of induction). Features: • Explains the basic mathematical tools required by students as they set out in their studies of Computer or Information Science • Explores the interplay between qualitative thinking and calculation • Teaches the material as a language for thinking, as much as knowledge to be acquired • Uses an intuitive approach with a focus on examples for all… [detailed...]

The role of manufacturing and extractive multinational corporations in less developed countries is under due scrutiny. Are they treating workers fairly and safely, and protecting human rights and dignities? Are they protecting the environment as they would have to in their homecountries? These are the important issues that Dr. Sethi addresses in this provocative and stimulating book. Not everyone will like his ?no-holds-barred? approach, but no one should go away unmoved by his perceptive analyses.` ?Dr. David Lowry, Vice President, Social and Community Affairs and Human Rights Compliance Officer, Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold, Inc. `Sethi?s hard-hitting analysis demonstrates that sweatshops and human rights abuses are not… [detailed...]

Settled in the Wild: Notes from the Edge of Town

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Whether we live in cities, suburbs, or villages, we are encroaching on nature, and it in one way or another perseveres. Naturalist Susan Shetterly looks at how animals, humans, and plants share the landa??observing her own neighborhood in rural Maine. She tells tales of the locals (humans, yes, but also snowshoe hares, raccoons, bobcats, turtles, salmon, ravens, hummingbirds, cormorants, sandpipers, and spring peepers). She expertly shows us how they all make their way in an ever-changing habitat. In writing about a displaced garter snake, witnessing the paving of a beloved dirt road, trapping a cricket with her young son, rescuing a fledgling raven, or the town`s joy at the return of the alewife migration, Shetterly issues warnings even as she pays tribute to the resilience that abounds. Like the works of Annie Dillard and Aldo Leopold, Settled in the Wild takes a magnifying glass to the wildness that surrounds us. With keen perception and wit, Shetterly offers us an education in… [detailed...]

Collateral damage includes Sandspur’s most well-known and loneliest resident, Julie Kitzmiller, Sean Keogh, its prettiest, and ugliest, and Elaine’s adopted and terribly scarred son, John, who finds some real joy as his family loses its fair, and its livelihood. Everyone is forced to make career and life decisions, and everyone quits settling--even those who settle in Sandspur. [detailed...]

Settling Scores : German Music, Denazification, and the Americans, 1945-1953

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionClassical music was central to German national identity in the early twentieth century. The preeminence of composers such as Bach and Beethoven and artists such as conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler and pianist Walter Gieseking was cited by the Nazis as justification for German expansionism and as evidence of Aryan superiority. In the minds of many Americans, further German aggression could be prevented only if the population`s faith in its moral and cultural superiority was shattered. In Settling Scores , David Monod examines the attempted `denazification` of the German music world by the Music Control Branch of the Information Control Division of Military Government. The occupying American forces barred from the stage and concert hall all former Nazi Party members and even anyone deemed to display an `authoritarian personality.` They also imported new European and American music. These actions, however, divided American officials and outraged German audiences… [detailed...]
