Comedy drama starring Eva Mendes and Cierra Ramirez as a mother and
daughter with a troubled relationship. Single mother Grace (Mendes)
spends her time working, worrying about bills and having an affair
with a married doctor (Matthew Modine), meaning she has little time
to focus on her 14-year-old daughter Ansiedad (Ramirez), who has to
look after herself. After her English teacher (Patricia Arquette)
explains the meaning behind coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad comes
up with a list of experiences she wants to have that will help her
mature and get ready to run away to New York. Will Grace discover
her daughter's plans and intervene before she loses her for good?
Sidney Coleman (1937-2007) earned his doctorate at Caltech under
Murray Gell-Mann. Before completing his thesis, he was hired by
Harvard and remained there his entire career. A celebrated particle
theorist, he is perhaps best known for his brilliant lectures,
given at Harvard and in a series of summer school courses at Erice,
Sicily. Three times in the 1960s he taught a graduate course on
Special and General Relativity; this book is based on lecture notes
taken by three of his students and compiled by the Editors.
En busqueda de crecimiento y evolucion, Sofia decide abandonar sus
raices familiares y lugar de origen ante la muerte de su madre,
deseando olvidar epocas dificiles y recuerdos dolorosos de un padre
violento y una abuela dominante, patrones y cultura familiar que la
marcaron. Sofia inicia su camino determinada a vivir
transformaciones positivas acompanada por su Angel, gracias a el,
descubre que somos conciencia en movimiento y podemos encontrar
nuestra espiritualidad para reinventar nuestra vida y alcanzar la
plenitud integral en un mundo donde la competitividad marca el
exito. Sofia encuentra el amor verdadero al reconocer que amor es
atencion a si misma y al projimo; que a traves de el nos abrimos al
perdon como condicion para alcanzar la abundancia en nuestra vida,
descubre que la unidad de cuerpo, mente y alma no son un objetivo
exotico ni exclusivo de una persona iluminada, que en este Universo
todos somos uno y al reconectarnos con nuestra espiritualidad, la
energia nos transforma en personas generadoras de amor y abundancia

The story of the rise of prisons and development of prison systems
in the United States has been studied extensively in scholarship,
but the experiences of female inmates in these institutions have
not received the same attention. Historically, women incarcerated
in prison, jails, and reformatories accounted for a small number of
inmates across the United States. Early on, they were often held in
prisons alongside men and faced neglect, exploitation, and poor
living conditions. Various attempts to reform them, ranging from
moral instruction and education to domestic training, faced
opposition at times from state officials, prison employees, and
even male prison reformers. Due to the consistent small populations
and relative neglect the women often faced, their experiences in
prison have been understudied. This collection of essays seeks to
recapture the perspective on women's prison experience from a range
of viewpoints. This edited collection will explore the challenges
women faced as inmates, their efforts to exert agency or control
over their lives and bodies, how issues of race and social class
influenced experiences, and how their experiences differed from
that of male inmates. Contributions extend from the early
nineteenth century into the twenty-first century to provide an
opportunity to examine change over time with regards to female
imprisonment. Furthermore, the chapters examine numerous geographic
regions, allowing for readers to analyze how place and environment
shapes the inmate experience.

Renowned physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson is famous for
his work in quantum mechanics, nuclear weapons policy and bold
visions for the future of humanity. In the 1940s, he was
responsible for demonstrating the equivalence of the two
formulations of quantum electrodynamics - Richard Feynman's
diagrammatic path integral formulation and the variational methods
developed by Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonoga - showing the
mathematical consistency of QED.This invaluable volume comprises
the legendary lectures on quantum electrodynamics first given by
Dyson at Cornell University in 1951. The late theorist Edwin
Thompson Jaynes once remarked, "For a generation of physicists they
were the happy medium: clearer and better motivated than Feynman,
and getting to the point faster than Schwinger".This edition has
been printed on the 60th anniversary of the Cornell lectures, and
includes a foreword by science historian David Kaiser, as well as
notes from Dyson's lectures at the Les Houches Summer School of
Theoretical Physics in 1954. The Les Houches lectures, described as
a supplement to the original Cornell notes, provide a more detailed
look at field theory, a careful and rigorous derivation of Fermi's
Golden Rule, and a masterful treatment of renormalization and
Ward's Identity.Future generations of physicists are bound to read
these lectures with pleasure, benefiting from the lucid style that
is so characteristic of Dyson's exposition.

The Cambridge Companion to Giotto serves as an introduction to one
of the most important masters of early Italian art. Providing an
overview of his life and career, this 2003 volume offers essays by
leading authorities on the critical reception of the artist, an
analysis of workshop practices of the period, the complexities of
religious and secular patronage, Giotto's innovations in painting
and architecture, and close readings of his most celebrated work,
the frescoes of the Arena Chapel in Padua. Designed to serve as an
essential resource for students of late medieval and early
Renaissance Italy, The Cambridge Companion to Giotto also provides
a chronology of the artist's life and a select but comprehensive
bibliography.
This study examines the narrative paintings of the Passion of Christ created in Italy during the thirteenth century. Demonstrating the radical changes that occurred in the depiction of the Passion cycle during the Duecento, a period that has traditionally been dismissed as artistically stagnant, Anne Derbes analyzes the relationship between these new images and similar renderings found in Byzantine sources. She argues that the Franciscan order, which was active in the Levant by the 1230s, was largely responsible for introducing these images into Italy.
