Seven Rooms brings together highlights from Hotel, a magazine for
new approaches to fiction, non-fiction & poetry which, since
its inception in 2016, provided a space for experimental reflection
on literature's status as art & cultural mediator. Co-published
by Tenement Press and Prototype, this anthology captures, refracts,
and reflects a vital moment in independent publishing in the UK,
and is built on the shared values of openness, collaboration, and
total creative freedom.
A creative memoir by the 2019 Wellcome Prize winner Will Eaves
chronicles a year spent writing a sonata from scratch, in full
recognition of the likelihood of failure, to see what can be
learned about ambition and limitation. And time. The Point of
Distraction explores the way that second-string activities bring
one's main interests in life into focus, considering artists as
critics, writers as musicians. Staring at your creative pursuit
straight on can render it impossible, but if you let it occupy the
space of distraction, to your side, it lives and breathes. This
novel memoir touches on neuroscience, musical theory and will
power.
Aaron Haberman is having the best day of his life. After his
sixth-grade teacher assigns his crush Kristin Kramer to his project
group, he can hardly believe his luck. This is the moment he has
been waiting for since fourth grade. Unfortunately, he has no clue
how to even talk to her. Aaron is a regular kid who likes
basketball, goofing around with friends, and avoiding homework, but
the idea of approaching Kristin, a cute and competitive soccer
player, is scary-like trying to play a video game without any
thumbs. All Aaron needs now is a good plan. Everyone is ready and
willing to step in and give him advice-whether he asks for it or
not-and it is not long before Aaron's attempts to win Kristin's
heart are unexpectedly halted by outside forces. As Aaron
experiences one hilarious disaster after another, he is about to
discover that being a secret admirer a lot harder than he ever
could have imagined.
Spectroscopic Properties of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds
provides a unique source of information on an important area of
chemistry. Divided into sections mainly according to the particular
spectroscopic technique used, coverage in each volume includes: NMR
(with reference to stereochemistry, dynamic systems, paramagnetic
complexes, solid state NMR and Groups 13-18); nuclear quadrupole
resonance spectroscopy; vibrational spectroscopy of main group and
transition element compounds and coordinated ligands; and electron
diffraction. Reflecting the growing volume of published work in
this field, researchers will find this Specialist Periodical Report
an invaluable source of information on current methods and
applications. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and
detailed review coverage in major areas of chemical research.
Compiled by teams of leading experts in their specialist fields,
this series is designed to help the chemistry community keep
current with the latest developments in their field. Each volume in
the series is published either annually or biennially and is a
superb reference point for researchers. www.rsc.org/spr

This international edited collection contributes to knowledge about
the geographies of sexualities experienced and imagined in rural
spaces. The book draws attention to the heterogeneity of rural
contexts and the diversity of meanings about sexualities within and
across these spaces. The collection examines four key themes.
First, 'Intimacies and Institutions' focuses on how intimate
relationships are governed by societal, discursive and
institutional structures, and regulated by social, political and
legal frames of citizenship and belonging. The chapters present
historical and contemporary case studies of the constitution and
management of intimate sexual lives and relationships in rural and
non-metropolitan spaces. Second, 'Communities' explores how sexual
identities are socially-constructed and relationally-performed in
rural communities, scrutinizing the complex interplay of belonging
and alienation, inclusion and exclusion, for sexual subjects and
communities within rural spaces. Analyzing films, literature and
interviews, the chapters examine sexuality and community, and
"queer" notions of rural family and community. Third, 'Mobilities'
examines movement/migration at different scales. Cross-national
data provides insights into similarities and differences in rural
migration and homemaking for lesbians, gay men and same-sex
families. The chapters consider how movement, coming out and
memories of time and place inflect home, identity and belonging for
rural lesbians and gay men. Fourth, 'Production and Consumption'
investigates the commodification of rural sexualities. The chapters
interrogate the management of animal bodies and sexualities in
industrial agriculture for consumer pleasure and commercial ends;
how heterosexuality and sexual relations are transacted in mining
communities; and the global commodification of rural masculine
sexualities. This book is timely. It provides important new
insights about ruralities and sexualities, filling a gap in
theoretical and empirical understandings about how sexualities in
diverse rural spaces are given meaning. This collection begins the
processes of furthering discussion and knowledge about the
inherently dynamic and constantly changing nature of the rural and
the multiple, varied and complex sexual subjectivities lived
through corporeal experiences and virtual and imagined lives.
