Description: On the day Karen Sharpe is promoted to Detective Sergeant she loses control and attacks a prisoner she is interrogating. Duly suspended, Karen is investigated and seemingly cleared, but more than a year later the incident still casts a long shadow. When the battered body of a young girl is discovered, it kicks off an inquiry which pushes Karen and a trainee DC, Marcus Roth, too close for comfort, both on and off-duty. The investigation leads to Mary Bradley, currently the carer for a helpless six-year-old boy, Andrew Farrar. As the truth of Mary Bradleys violent past emerges, the inquiry becomes a race against time before Andrew becomes just another one of her child victims. Meanwhile, with the case holding more and more personal resonance for Karen, Marcus discovers that when threatened she has a tendency to ignore the rule book and act on instinct. Before the scores are finally settled Marcus will be wondering whether Karens legitimate world and Mary Bradleys illegitimate one are… [detailed...]

Chris Mooney, Sheril Kirshenbaum
Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens our Future

2009 y.
Publisher: Basic Books
Description: In his famous 1959 Rede lecture at Cambridge University, the scientifically-trained novelist C.P. Snow described science and the humanities as `two cultures,` separated by a `gulf of mutual incomprehension.` And the humanists had all the cultural power - the low prestige of science, Snow argued, left Western leaders too little educated in scientific subjects that were increasingly central to world problems: the elementary physics behind nuclear weapons, for instance, or the basics of plant science needed to feed the world`s growing population. Now, Chris Mooney and Sheril Kirshenbaum, a journalist-scientist team, offer an updated `two cultures` polemic for America in the 21st century. Just as in Snow`s time, some of our gravest challenges - climate change, the energy crisis, national economic competitiveness - and gravest threats-global pandemics, nuclear proliferation - have fundamentally scientific underpinnings. Yet we still live in a culture that rarely takes science… [detailed...]

Unseen Academicals

2009 y.
Publisher: Doubleday
Description: Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork - not the old-fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving, but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go gloing when you drop them. And now the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match without using magic, so they`re in the mood for trying everything else. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a likely lad with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt. (No one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too.) As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed for ever. Because the thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football. Формат: 16 см x 24 cм. [detailed...]

Unseen Vogue

2006 y.
Publisher: Little, Brown
Description: For every picture that has been published in Vogue, there are many that never make it - not because of poor composition or execution, but because the fashion styling may have been too inventive, the camera technique too pioneering or, frequently, because the magazine simply ran out of space. Now, drawing on this rich collection of photographs - taken from nearly one-and-a-half-million images archived at British Vogue - Unseen Vogue pulls together the very best of these remarkable `out-takes`. Found in the files, often with swatches of fabrics, fashion editors` notes and other documentation attached, these pictures tell the secret history of fashion photography. Including work from a wealth of fashion photographers, among them Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, Herb Ritts, David Bailey, Guy Bourdin, Patrick Demarchelier, Juergen Teller, Nick Knight and Mario Testino, each page is accompanied by lucid and witty captions, explaining the particular history of the picture. This stylish… [detailed...]

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Intangibles are harder to measure, harder to quantify, often more difficult to manage, evaluate, and account for than tangible assets. There is no common language for sharing information about intangible sources of value, and the language used tends to be descriptive rather than quantitative and concrete. Unseen Wealth stresses the importance of developing standards for identifying, measuring, and accounting for intangible assets, and recommends actions to government and business for improving the quality and quantity of available information about intangible investments. The book articulates a three-pronged set of reforms to help companies construct better business and reporting models, improve the quality of financial reporting, and clarify intellectual property right laws. Unseen Wealth was developed by the Brookings Task Force on Intangibles, which includes business leaders, consultants, accounting professionals, economists, intellectual property lawyers, and policy… [detailed...]

Unsettling Encounters: First Nations Imagery in the Art of Emily Carr

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Unsettling Encounters radically re-examines Emily Carr`s achievement in representing Native life on the Northwest Coast, and her goals and achievements in representing Native villages and totem poles in her paintings and writings. Reconstructing a neglected body of Carr`s works that was central in shaping her vision and career makes possible a new assessment of her significance as a leading figure in the history of early twentieth-century Modernism. Unsettling Encounters includes a vivid recreation of the rapidly changing historical and social circumstances in which Carr painted and wrote. She lived and worked in British Columbia at a time when the growing settler population was rapidly taking over and developing the land and its resources. Gerta Moray argues that Carr`s work takes on its full significance only when it is seen as a conscious intervention in settler-Native relations. She examines the work in relation to the images of Native peoples that were then being constructed… [detailed...]

Unsettling Partition: Literature, Gender, Memory

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Partition of India in 1947 marked the birth of two modern nation-states and the end of British colonialism in South Asia. The move towards the `two nation solution` was accompanied by an unprecedented mass migration (over twelve million people) to and from areas that would become India and Pakistan. Diverse representations of the violence that accompanied this migration (including the abduction and sexual assault of over 75,000 women) can be found in fictional, historical, autobiographical, and recent scholarly works. Unsettling Partition examines short stories, novels, testimonies, and historiography that represent women`s experiences of the Partition. Counter to the move for `recovery` that informs some historical research on testimony and fictional representations of women`s Partition experiences, Jill Didur argues for an attentiveness to the literary qualities of women`s narratives that interrogate and unsettle monolithic accounts of the period. Rather than… [detailed...]

Unsolved Mysteries of the Copper Country: The Case of George C. Shelden

Description: Trouble comes in threes--one from the devil, one from his wife, and one from their son. Because George Shelden was not a superstitious man, he paid no heed to this axiom. Had George been superstitious, he may have broken a match stick under running water to break this chain of trouble. George Shelden did not believe in this superstition, nor did he believe that trouble, bad luck, and death traveled together. In the Fall of 1896, he was about to find out firsthand whether or not there was any truth to this superstition. Enter the world of 1896. August 17 is a perfect summer day. The City of Houghton is a teeming young municipality. George Shelden is in his prime of life, well satisfied with his accomplishments. His business ventures are thriving, his family is a source of joy and pride, and his offices and home are the finest in the area. His younger daughter, Mary, is getting married in a few weeks, and he is pleased with her choice of husbands. His older… [detailed...]

Unspeak: How Words Become Weapons, How Weapons Become a Message, and How That Message Becomes Reality

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What do the phrases `pro-life,` `intelligent design,` and `the war on terror` have in common? Each of them is a name for something that smuggles in a highly charged political opinion. Words and phrases that function in this special way go by many names. Some writers call them `evaluative–descriptive terms.` Others talk of `terministic screens` or discuss the way debates are `framed.` Author Steven Poole calls them Unspeak . Unspeak represents an attempt by politicians, interest groups, and business corporations to say something without saying it, without getting into an argument and so having to justify itself. At the same time, it tries to unspeak — in the sense of erasing or silencing — any possible opposing point of view by laying a claim right at the start to only one way of looking at a problem. Recalling the vocabulary of George Orwell`s 1984, as an Unspeak phrase becomes a widely used term of public debate, it saturates the mind with one… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionIconoclast, outlaw, genius, terrorist, pornographer: Terayama Shuji (1935?1983) has been labeled all of these and more. One of postwar Japan?s most gifted and controversial playwrights/directors, Terayama has been compared to such artists as Robert Wilson and John Cage. During his lifetime his work incited scandal, outrage, even violence. Since his death more than twenty years ago, he has been transformed into a cult hero in Japan, members of the international theater continue to adore and damn him. Despite this notoriety, Unspeakable Acts is the first book in any language to analyze the theater of Terayama in depth. Unspeakable Acts interrogates postwar Japanese culture and theater through the creative work of this unique yet emblematic artist. By situating Terayama in his historical milieu and by using tools derived from Japanese and Western theories of psychoanalysis, anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and aesthetics, Carol… [detailed...]
