Writing the Future : Progress and Evolution (Terra Nova Books)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe theory of evolution connects us to the natural world, explaining how and why we are a part of nature. The idea of progress, on the other hand, projects a destination. `If nature can supply wonderfully elegant solutions to the problem of survival by trying out test models derived solely by chance, then surely it`s possible for us to find our way forward,` write David Rothenberg and Wandee Pryor, setting the terms of the discussion. But is society going somewhere in particular? Is nature improving? The stories, poems, essays, and artwork in Writing the Future examine the concepts of evolution and progress through a variety of artistic and scientific lenses and speculate on how these ideas can help us appreciate our place in the world. The first section of the book, `Science, Mustard, Moths,` looks at evolution`s founding concepts and personalities, and includes Theodore Roszak`s challenge to a Darwinian orthodoxy, which he traces back to another… [detailed...]

Writing the NIH Grant Proposal: A Step-by-Step Guide

Description: This primer on the writing of the NIH proposal and the mechanics of applying for NIH grants offers hands-on advice that simplifies, demystifies, and takes the fear out of writing a federal grant application. The graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, or junior research faculty member applying for a prestigious NIH grant - anything from a training grant to a full-blown research award - faces many complex issues. Although several grant writing guides already exist, they are overly general and do not focus on the NIH process. Also, although several NIH institutes provide information regarding grant submissions, this information tends to be voluminous and insufficient to guide one through the process. This book provides specific and detailed step-by-step guidance in completing an NIH application through a number of unique features.

Writing the Nation: Patrick White and the Indigene.

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The time for new approaches to White`s work is overdue. Central to the present study are Edward Said`s ideas about the role of the intellectual (and the writer) - of speaking `truth to power,` and also the importance of tracing the `affiliations` of a text and its embeddedness in the world. This approach is not incompatible with Jung`s theory of the `great` artist and his capacity to answer the deep-seated psychic needs of his people. White`s work has contributed in many different ways to the writing of the nation. The spiritual needs of a young nation such as Australia must also comprehend its continual urge towards self-definition. Explored here is one important aspect of that challenge: white Australia`s dealings with the indigenous people of the land, tracing the significance of the Aboriginal presence in three texts selected from the oeuvre of Patrick White: Voss (1957), Riders in the Chariot (1961), and A Fringe of Leaves (1976). Each of these texts interrogates European… [detailed...]

Writing the Pre-Raphaelites

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This vibrant collection of essays claims that a complex network of texts by critics, biographers and diarists established the credibility and influence of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Throughout the twentieth century, Modernist taste failed to acknowledge the achievement of oppositional groupings such as the Pre-Raphaelites. The essays collected here, however, reveal that the British group anticipated later avant-gardes by using the written word to configure for itself a radical artistic identity. Public and critics alike were scandalized by the radicalism of Pre-Raphaelite painting, its unflinching portrayal of historical figures and of contemporary life, and its irreverent attitude to artistic convention. Pre-Raphaelitism`s innovations were not confined to style: new forms of artistic identity and behaviour were explored. As the contributors interrogate the texts through which Pre-Raphaelitism was constructed, they demonstrate that the movement`s wide influence as a cultural… [detailed...]
