How does a writer discuss her creative process and her views on a writer's role in society? How do her comments on writing relate to her works? The Hindi writer Krishna Sobti (1925-2019) is known primarily as a novelist. However, she also extensively wrote about her views on the creative process, the figure of the writer, historical writing, and the position of writers within the public sphere. This study is the first to examine in detail the relationship between Sobti's views on poetics as exposed in her non-fictional texts and her own literary practice. The writer's self-representation is analysed through her use of metaphors to explain her creative process. Sobti's construction of the figure of the writer is then put in parallel with her idiosyncratic use of language as a representation of the heterogeneous voices of her characters and with her conception of literature as a space where time and memory can be "held." At the same time, by delving into Sobti's position in the debate around "women's writing" (especially through the creation of a male double, the failed writer Hashmat), and into her views on literature and politics, this book also reflects on the literary debates of the post-Independence Hindi literary sphere.

The Odyssey is considered to be the most beautiful literary work of the Western civilization, and Homer the first and the greatest poet ever. The book Demystifying the Odyssey is interpreting Homer's epic in a unique and completely new way. For the first time in literature, this book explains the events and phenomena that Odysseus saw and experienced, and which were considered so far as a result of the Poet's rich imagination. So, this book reveals how Odysseus went to Hades kingdom of the dead souls; what are in reality Scylla and Charybdis; who were the sirens; how the Island of Aeolus', the ruler of the winds, actually floated; how Circa turned Odysseus's sailors into pigs and other. Besides that, this book also reveals the fallacy two and a half millennia long, dating back from the first historians Herodotus and Thucydides, according to which Odysseus was wandering the Mediterranean sea. It further provides numerous proofs that Homer's hero was actually wandering the Adriatic. For all those readers who are familiar with the ancient Greek literature this book will be great news and quite a surprise. On the other hand, for those who have not been quite aware of the old Greek world it will provide great knowledge on the first European civilization. In any case, this will surely be an interesting reading for all of them.

In the past few decades, the study of the mind has been radiated in the field of cognitive neuroscience by numerous breakthroughs. At last, scientists have the ability to explain in unparalleled detail the intricate processes taking place inside the human brain. This field of cognitive neuroscience gives us the right tools to decipher the protocols which spawn behaviors, and confirm that our conscious thought is ruled by physiological networks predisposed to their natural environment.

In "Thought Genesis," David M. Sternberg takes us through a fascinating multidisciplinary voyage to unearth the very origins of thought. Much like an astrophysicist observes distant celestial objects to look back in time to beginning of the world, Sternberg examines the behaviors of lesser but fascinating species and reveals the very first moments our ancestors became aware and conscious of their environment.

With easy-to-understand language, Sternberg not only discusses how a simple yet fundamental consciousness evolved to the complex human mind, but also raises attractive philosophical conundrums that test the manners in which we perceive the world.

Take a mesmerizing journey into the intricacy of human thought and expand your world with "Thought Genesis."

"Darwin, Then and Now" is a journey through the most amazing story in the history of science; encapsulating who Darwin was, what he said and what scientists have discovered since the publication of "The Origin of Species" in 1859.

While recognized as one of the most influential individuals of the twentieth century, little is widely known about his personal life, interests, and motivations. This book explores Darwin's driving passion using Darwin's own words from "The Origin of Species," "Autobiography," "Voyage of the Beagle" and letters.

In retracing the roots of evolution from the Greeks, "Darwin, Then and Now" journeys through the dynamics of the eighteenth century that lead to the publication of "The Origin of Species" and the succeeding role of key players in the emerging evolution revolution.

"Darwin, Then and Now" examines Darwin's theory with more than three-hundred quotations from "The Origin of Species," spotlighting what Darwin said concerning the origin of species and natural selection using the American Museum of Natural History Darwin exhibit format.

With over one-thousand referenced quotations from scientists and historians, "Darwin, Then and Now" explores the scientific evidence over the past 150 years from the fossil record, molecular biology, embryology, and modern genetics.

This book is a collection of narratives from a diverse array of science education researchers that elucidate some of the difficulties of becoming a science education researcher and/or science teacher educator, with the hope that through solidarity, commonality, and "telling the story", justice-oriented science education researchers will feel more supported in their own journeys. Being a scholar and teacher that sees science education as a space for justice, and thinking/being different, entry into this disciplinary field often comes with tense moments and personal difficulties. The chapter authors of this book break into many painful, awkward, and seemingly nebulous topics, including the intersectional nuances of what it means to be a researcher in the contexts of epistemic rigidness, white supremacy, and neoliberal restructuring. Of course these contexts become different depending on how teachers, students, and researchers are constituted within them (as racialized/sexed/gendered/disposable/valued subjects). We hope that within these narratives readers will identify with similar struggles in terms of what it means to desire to "do good in the world", while facing subtle and not-so-subtle institutional, personal cultural, and political challenges.

Metallography of Aluminum Alloys By Lucio F. Mondolfo JOHN WILEY SONS, INC. NEW YORK LONDON CHAPMAN HALL, LIMITED THIS BOOK HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WAR PRODUCTION BOARD IN THE INTEREST OF THE CONSERVATION OF PAPER AND OTHER IMPORTANT WAR MATERIALS. COPYRIGHT, 1943 BY Lucio F. MONDOLFO All Rights Reserved This book or any part thereof must not be reproduced in any form without the written permission of the publisher. PRINTED iN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE In the last few years, a continuous development in the use of alu minum alloys has steadily increased the number of metallurgists inter ested in them. Because of this growing interest and the fact that the most recent books on the subject are now somewhat outdated, it was believed that a new book could be useful. Since many books on the general metallurgy are available, this book has been limited purposely to aluminum alloys. It is intended for consultation by the plant metallurgist, rather than as a textbook for students. For these reasons no details are given on general metallurgy and metallog raphy and most of the theoretical problems have not been treated at all or have been dismissed briefly. The first part of the book illustrates the equilibrium diagrams of aluminum alloys. All information about binary, ternary, and quater nary diagrams published up to date has been sifted, coordinated, and often integrated with data from the authors experiments, to eliminate the discrepancies between the different authors. Usually the discrep ancies are only minor, but at times they are so wide that it has been necessary to report two sets of diagrams. Whenever possible the equilibrium diagramshave been reported graphically, limiting the text to facts about solid solubilities, eutectic and peritectic tempera tures, crystal structures, etc., which could not be represented ade quately in the diagrams. Most of the diagrams are only partial, because, when the complete diagram has not been established beyond doubt, it seemed better not to crowd the book with doubtful details which have no interest for commercial alloys. The same criterion has been applied to the bibliography, which is as complete as possible for the aluminum end of the diagrams but disregards investigations limited to alloys with low aluminum contents. Data about the structures in non-equilibrium conditions caused by rapid cooling have been included whenever possible, and most of these are from experiments by the author, since very little has been published. The scarcity of published material is all the more regrettable as facts about non equilibrium are often more useful than those about equilibrium condi tions. iii IV PREFACE The second part is dedicated to the technique of macro-and micro examination. The polishing technique, including electrolytic polish ing and a new fast method developed by the author, is here described. The etching reagents and their technique are also discussed in this part, and a list of the constituents, formed by the alloying elements, is illustrated with carefully selected photo-micrographs to show their typical aspects in commercial alloys. The third part shows the normal structure of the commercial alloys of aluminum. To give as complete a picture of the aluminum field as possible, the alloys commonly used abroad have been in cluded, in addition to those used in the United States.The alloys have been grouped in accordance to their main alloying elements and their general uses and properties are briefly discussed. The eutectics commonly present in the alloys are listed. Great care has been taken to identify for each alloy the lowest melting eutec tics probably less accurate are the data about the high melting point eutectics. The fourth part discusses the effect of fabricating on the microstruc ture, with references to macrostructure and actual practices, when they are necessary for a better understanding of the microstructure...

HEAT CONDUCTION With Engineering and Geological Applications By Leonard R. Ingersoll Professor of Physics University of Wisconsin Otto J. Zobel Member of the Technical Staff Bt> ll Telephone Laboratories, Inc., New York and Alfred C. Ingersoll Instructor in Civil Engineering University of Wisconsin FIRST EDITION NEW YORK TORONTO LONDON MCGRAW-HILL BOOK COMPANY, INC. 1948 HEAT CONDUCTION Copyright, 1948, by the McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. Printed in the United States of America. All rights reserved. This book, or parts thereof, may not be reproduced in any form without permission of the publishers. THE MAPLE PRESS COMPANY, YORK, PA. PREFACE The present volume is the successor to and, in effect, a revision of the Ingersoll and Zobel text of some years ago. To quote from the earlier preface: . . . the theory of heat con duction is of importance, not only intrinsically' but also because its broad bearing and the generality of its methods of analysis make it one of the best introductions to more advanced mathe matical physics. The aim of the authors has been twofold. They have attempted, in the first place, to develop the subject with special reference to the needs of the student who has neither time nor mathematical preparation to pursue the study at great length. To this end, fewer types of problemsare handled than in the larger treatises, and less stress has been placed on purely mathe matical derivations such as uniqueness, existence, and con vergence theorems. The second aim has been to point out . . . the many applications of which the results are susceptible .... It is hoped that in this respect the subject matter may be of interest to the engineer, for the authors have attempted to select appli cations with special reference to their technical importance, and in furtherance of this idea have sought and received suggestions from engineers in many lines of work. While many of these applications have doubtless only a small practical bearing and serve chiefly to illustrate the theory, . . . the results in some cases . . . may be found worthy of note. The same may be said of the geological problems. While a number of solutions are here presented for the first time ... no originality can be claimed for the underlying mathematical theory which dates back, of course, to the time of Fourier. Since the above was written there has been a steady increase vi PREFACE in interest in the theory of heat conduction, largely along prac tical lines. The geologist and geographer are interested in a new tool which will help them in explaining many thermal phenomena and in establishing certain time scales. The engi neer, whose use of the theory was formerly limited almost entirely to the steady state, has developed many useful tables and curves for the solution of more general cases and is interested in finding still other methods of attack. The physicist and mathematician have done their part in treating problems which have hitherto resisted solution. The present volume carries out and extendsthe aims of the earlier one. Most of the old material has been retained, although revised, and almost an equal amount of new has been added. The geologist, geographer, and engineer will find many new applications discussed, while the mathematician, physicist, and chemist will welcome the addition of a little Bessel function and conjugate function theory, as well as the several extended tables in the appendixes. Some of these are new and have had to be specially evaluated. The number of refer ences has also been greatly enlarged and three-quarters of them are of more

Signal Processing for Neuroscientists, Second Edition provides an introduction to signal processing and modeling for those with a modest understanding of algebra, trigonometry and calculus. With a robust modeling component, this book describes modeling from the fundamental level of differential equations all the way up to practical applications in neuronal modeling. It features nine new chapters and an exercise section developed by the author. Since the modeling of systems and signal analysis are closely related, integrated presentation of these topics using identical or similar mathematics presents a didactic advantage and a significant resource for neuroscientists with quantitative interest. Although each of the topics introduced could fill several volumes, this book provides a fundamental and uncluttered background for the non-specialist scientist or engineer to not only get applications started, but also evaluate more advanced literature on signal processing and modeling.

This book demonstrates Microsoft EXCEL(R)-based Fourier transform of selected physics examples, as well as describing spectral density of the auto-regression process in relation to Fourier transform. Rather than offering rigorous mathematics, the book provides readers with an opportunity to gain an understanding of Fourier transform through the examples. They will acquire and analyze their own data following the step-by-step procedure outlined, and a hands-on acoustic spectral analysis is suggested as the ideal long-term student project.
