This book focus on the challenges faced by cutting materials with
superior mechanical and chemical characteristics, such as hardened
steels, titanium alloys, super alloys, ceramics and metal matrix
composites. Aspects such as costs and appropriate machining
strategy are mentioned. The authors present the characteristics of
the materials difficult to cut and comment on appropriate cutting
tools for their machining. This book also serves as a reference
tool for manufacturers working in industry.
The Work of Reading: Literary Criticism in the 21st Century is a
sustained critical examination of the developments in the field of
literary studies from the early 2000s onwards within the context of
the systematic problems in the humanities. This volume analyzes the
origins of the current methods-including New Historicism,
empiricism, New Formalism, postcritique, and others-and posits
alternatives to the present state of literary studies. At a time
when many aspects of current methods show a desire to adopt values
from other disciplines to solve internal crises, this volume
advocates a renewed focus on questions of form by means of the
praxis of aesthetic study, close reading, and other modes of
engaging directly with literary texts.

Debut short-story collection in English from acclaimed fiction
writer Ali Hosseini The stories in Dare the Sea explore Iran’s
landscape, culture, and the undercurrent of change affecting its
people—both in Iran and the United States. The stories in the
first half of the collection are set in Iran in the time before and
just after the Iranian revolution of 1979. Each tale discloses the
obstacles rural Iranians lived with on a daily basis and the
exigencies of survival: petty theft, corruption, drug trafficking,
religion, and love. Stories in the second half take place in exile,
where characters are seemingly dropped into American locales like
the Midwest or Hawaii, taking in their situation with only the
survival skills they’ve learned in their own land and enduring
the hardships of being strangers in a new country. Loosely
interconnected by reappearing characters, the stories in Dare the
Sea are strongly linked by the country of Iran, its landscape, its
history, and its hold on its people.
