Part of the Magic: A Collection of Disney-Inspired Brushes with
Greatness is a book of remarkable and wildly entertaining anecdotal
stories told through the lens of an entertainment industry insider.
Author Bambi Moé enjoyed a twenty-year career at the Walt Disney
Company in charge of all aspects of music for Walt Disney
Television Animation. Her name, vocation, and background gave her
exceptional access to pop culture and entertainment giants. The
book takes readers on a nonstop ride and keeps them riveted
throughout extremely candid encounters shared here for the first
time. Moé’s fascinating true stories provide a rare insight into
the creative process associated with music in animation and give
readers a historical reference to the Walt Disney Company’s
burgeoning direct-to-video empire. Her career exemplifies the
rewards often associated with hard work, perseverance, integrity,
and the ability to recognize potential in others. Often the only
woman in a male-dominated work environment, Moé’s success will
inspire young readers interested in pursuing a career in
entertainment. Part of the Magic invites readers to consider their
own stories and recognize their own universality. Like a photo that
captures life’s moments and teaches us lessons, each of Moé’s
brushes with greatness serves as a reminder that we are all
connected by reason of our own humanity. Her joy extends far beyond
the original encounter and multiplies in the retelling of these
stories.

First published in 1983, this book represents a substantial body of
detailed research on children's language and communication, and
more generally on the nature of interactive spoken discourse. It
looks at areas of competence often examined in young children's
speech have that have not been described for adults - leading to
insights not only in the character of adult conversation but also
the process of acquiring this competence. The authors set forward
strategies for conversing at different stage of life, while also
relating these strategies to, and formulating hypotheses
concerning, the dynamics of language variation and change.
This Bakelite jewelry helps document the story of a country and its
allies working together to restore world peace. Images of pins,
necklaces, bracelets, and more capture these true signs of the
timesnot only crafted to express solidarity, loss, patriotism, and
love, but to make use of a new material that was not restricted by
rationing and conservation orders. From sweetheart pins and pins
emblazoned with MacArthurs famous, I shall return, to pieces with
reticulating moveable parts, the range of colorful jewelry captured
in this book is perfect for those passionate about Bakelite jewelry
and for WWII buffs. Although these Bakelite treasures were
fashioned with the patriotic inspiration of the time, they can
still be collected and fashionably worn today, as demonstrated in a
chapter called Wearing Ideas.
Black holes are one of the most fascinating predictions of general
relativity. They are the natural product of the complete
gravitational collapse of matter and today we have a body of
observational evidence supporting the existence of black holes in
the Universe. However, general relativity predicts that at the
center of black holes there are spacetime singularities, where
predictability is lost and standard physics breaks down. It is
widely believed that spacetime singularities are a symptom of the
limitations of general relativity and must be solved within a
theory of quantum gravity. Since we do not have yet any mature and
reliable candidate for a quantum gravity theory, researchers have
studied toy-models of singularity-free black holes and of
singularity-free gravitational collapses in order to explore
possible implications of the yet unknown theory of quantum gravity.
This book reviews all main models of regular black holes and
non-singular gravitational collapses proposed in the literature,
and discuss the theoretical and observational implications of these
scenarios.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to X-ray and
gamma-ray astronomy. The first part discusses the basic theoretical
and observational topics related to black hole astrophysics; the
optics and the detectors employed in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy;
and past, present, and future X-ray and gamma-ray missions. The
second part then describes data reduction and analysis, the
statistics used in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, and demonstrates
how to write a successful proposal and a scientific paper. Data
reduction in connection with specific X-ray and gamma-ray missions
is covered in the appendices. Presenting the state of the art in
X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, this is both a valuable textbook for
students and an important reference resource for researchers in the
field.

Following the approach of Lev Landau and Evgenii Lifshitz, this
book introduces the theory of special and general relativity with
the Lagrangian formalism and the principle of least action. This
method allows the complete theory to be constructed starting from a
small number of assumptions, and is the most natural approach in
modern theoretical physics. The book begins by reviewing Newtonian
mechanics and Newtonian gravity with the Lagrangian formalism and
the principle of least action, and then moves to special and
general relativity. Most calculations are presented step by step,
as is done on the board in class. The book covers recent advances
in gravitational wave astronomy and provides a general overview of
current lines of research in gravity. It also includes numerous
examples and problems in each chapter.
This book discusses the state of the art of the basic theoretical
and observational topics related to black hole astrophysics. It
covers all the main topics in this wide field, from the theory of
accretion disks and formation mechanisms of jet and outflows, to
their observed electromagnetic spectrum, and attempts to measure
the spin of these objects. Black holes are one of the most
fascinating predictions of general relativity and are currently a
very hot topic in both physics and astrophysics. In the last five
years there have been significant advances in our understanding of
these systems, and in the next five years it should become possible
to use them to test fundamental physics, in particular to predict
the general relativity in the strong field regime. The book is both
a reference work for researchers and a textbook for graduate
students.

This Element explores multi-faceted linkages between feeding and
relationship formation based on ethnographic case studies in
Morocco, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Costa Rica. Research
demonstrates that there are many culturally valued ways of feeding
children, contradicting the idea of a single universally optimal
feeding standard. It demonstrates further that in many parts of the
world, feeding plays a central role in bonding and relationship
formation, something largely overlooked in current developmental
theories. Analysis shows that feeding contributes to relationship
formation through what we call proximal, transactional, and distal
dimensions. This Element argues that feeding practices can lead to
qualitatively distinct forms of relationships. It has important
theoretical and practical implications, calling for the expansion
of attachment theory to include feeding and body-centered
caregiving and significant changes to global interventions
currently based on 'responsive feeding.' This title is also
available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
