Barbara Katz Rothman
The Book of Life: A Personal and Ethical Guide to Race, Normality, and the Implications of the Human Genome Project

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The new genetics and race, illness, and procreation. Scientists are racing to unravel the code of life in our DNA sequences. But once we know the code, will we know what life means? Will we know what to do with the powerful-healing, destructive, and marketable-information we will have? Barbara Katz Rothman`s warm, learned, passionate, and humorous voice is just the one we need to guide us through some of the most loaded issues and technologies of our time-ones that bear on the most intimate aspects of our lives. Her astute observations about the new genetics are combined with personal reflections: about raising a black child, the risks of cancer, midwives and pregnancy, the social web into which we are born, motherhood, time, growth, chance, and all the indefinable things that make us human. She helps us to think about the place of genetic science in our own lives, its role in our social world, and how we choose to think about human life itself. A genetic map will take… [detailed...]

The Book of Life

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Set in the twilight of the Edwardian age, The Book of Life is the story of Francis Froxwell, an orphan caught between his mother`s family, kind but common, and his father`s family, the proud and wealthy Froxwells. Aged ten, Francis goes to live with the Froxwells and becomes fascinated with his grandfather`s ledger, the `Book of Life`, in which each family member`s prospective inheritance is recorded. Francis begins to dream of his future, when he will be a rich and powerful baronet . . . . As Francis comes to terms with his emerging adolescence and developing identity, he is drawn to two figures: his kind Uncle Demetrius, the `black sheep` of the family, and Jimmy Waring, an ex-schoolmaster dismissed for his inappropriate conduct with young boys. Francis will unwittingly get caught up in a chain of events involving sex, scandal, intrigue, and blackmail, and which will ultimately lead to tragedy . . . and the elimination of at least one name from the `Book of Life`. By turns… [detailed...]

The Book of Lofts

1999 y.
Publisher: Thames and Hudson
Description: `The Book of Lofts` presents some of the most spectacular and ingenious residential lofts in London, New York, Paris, Chicago, Berlin, Los Angeles and Milan. Whether in former warehouses, converted schoolhouses, suites of offices, or one-time woodworking shops, the lofts are all singularly inventive examples of contemporary design and living. A warehouse on the Thames, a furrier`s show-room in New York`s Chelsea district, a printing shop near the Place de la Nation in Paris, a consulate in downtown Los Angeles - these are all former commercial premises that have been converted into living spaces. Confronted by the challenge of dealing with hundreds or often thousands of feet of raw space, loft dwellers have responded by devising some of today`s most imaginative design solutions. Here are lofts with open, free-flowing spaces, divided into rooms or arranged on different levels, lofts that function as home offices and artists` lofts. From the rigorously… [detailed...]

The Book of Love Letters : Canadian Kinship, Friendship, and Romance

2005 y.
Publisher: —

Allen Ginsberg
The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice: First Journals and Poems 1937-1952

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The earliest journals and never-before published poems of legendary Beat Generation avatar and poet extraordinaire Allen Ginsberg Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) kept journals his entire life, beginning at the age of eleven. These first journals detail the inner thoughts of the awkward boy from Paterson, New Jersey, who would become the major poet and spokesperson of the literary phenomenon called the Beat Generation. The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice covers the most important and formative years of Ginsberg`s storied life. It was during these years that he met Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, both of whom would become lifelong friends and significant literary figures. Ginsberg`s journals--so candid he insisted they be published only after his death--also document his relationships with such notable figures of Beat lore as Carl Solomon, Lucien Carr, and Herbert Huncke. Conversations with Kerouac, his beloved muse Neal Cassady, and others have been … [detailed...]

The Book of Memory: A Study of Memory in Medieval Culture

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Mary Carruthers`s classic study of the training and uses of memory for a variety of purposes in European cultures during the Middle Ages has fundamentally changed the way scholars understand medieval culture. This fully revised and updated second edition onsiders afresh all the material and conclusions of the first. While responding to new directions in research inspired by the original, this new edition devotes much more attention to the role of trained memory in composition, whether of literature, music architecture, or manuscript books. The new edition will reignite the debate on memory in medieval studies and, like the first, will be essential reading for scholars of history, music, the arts and literature, as well as those interested in issues of oraity and literacy (anthropology), in the working and design of memory (both neuropsychology and artificial memory), and in the disciplines of meditation (religion).

David Biespiel
The Book of Men and Women (Pacific Northwest Poetry)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: David Biespiel`s energetic language, so varied and musical and precise, is quite unmatched by that of other contemporary poets. The Book of Men and Women is his second collection in the Pacific Northwest Poetry Series, and as always he is the master of the long line, his words strung across its reach as tightly as beads. But new poems in this book explore the intimacies of the shorter line as well and display Biespiel`s formal inventiveness and emotional range. The Book of Men and Women addresses our time and human condition in ways both domestic and global. The first section of the book is filled with the wonderful agitation of spell-making language. The poems are connected to the social and historical world, and yet at the same time, they prepare us for the mythic story about men and women that is promised in the book`s title. The second section is more formally restrained and as such imbues the speaker with the distinction and melancholy gravitas that characterize the collection…. [detailed...]

The Book of Props

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The narrators in this mesmerizing collection often desire to hold time still — in moments of love, yes, but also when feeling fully located in a particular place or experience. Yet they also acknowledge that to hold time still would mean the death of love, the death of experience. Thus, the grounding and locating sensory images that surround us — and the eye that apprehends them — become greatly important. At the heart of the book is “What Night Says to the Empty Boat,” a sequence of lyric poems in which the three main characters — Justine, Clarence, and Andy — drift to and from, together and apart, viewed through the dispassionate lens of the unspoken fourth main character. An artistic and philosophical endeavor to place oneself in the world, this stunning collection is a wholehearted embrace of being, where technique and subject come together in a remarkable combination of personal lyric and formal innovation.

The Book of Qt 4: The Art of Building Qt Applications

2007 y.
Publisher: No Starch Press
Description: Cross-platform development is a kind of holy grail, and Trolltech`s Qt toolkit may well be the most promising solution yet to this development challenge. Qt is widely used for the development of GUI applications as well as console tools and servers, and it`s especially appealing to programmers who need to write cross-platform applications to run on Linux/Unix, Mac, and Windows machines without having to rewrite for each platform. `The Book of Qt 4` offers an in-depth explanation of Qt 4 that goes beyond the common focus on C++ programming. Author Daniel Molkentin uses practical examples to explain features like the signal/slot concept and the event system, as he guides you through developing applications with and without Qt`s graphical GUI builder, Qt Designer. And as a core KDE developer, Molkentin`s head is full of real-world problems and solutions that he peppers liberally throughout The Book of Qt 4, making it a resource that you`ll consult time and again.
