A lover, her daughter and the abandoned wife: three letters by
three women reveal the tragic aftermath of a forbidden love affair.
Shoko discovers her mother's infidelity through her diary, while
Midori silently suffers as the abandoned wife. And then there is
Saiko, the beautiful betrayer of her closest friend. Told from
three different perspectives, The Hunting Gun explores the profound
impact of an illicit passion. With a delicate touch, Inoue weaves
together love, death, truth and loneliness in this timeless
masterpiece.
This book presents the state-of-the-art, current challenges, and
future perspectives for the field of many-criteria optimization and
decision analysis. The field recognizes that real-life problems
often involve trying to balance a multiplicity of considerations
simultaneously – such as performance, cost, risk, sustainability,
and quality. The field develops theory, methods and tools that can
support decision makers in finding appropriate solutions when faced
with many (typically more than three) such criteria at the same
time. The book consists of two parts: key research topics,
and emerging topics. Part I begins with a general introduction to
many-criteria optimization, perspectives from research leaders in
real-world problems, and a contemporary survey of the attributes of
problems of this kind. This part continues with chapters on
fundamental aspects of many-criteria optimization, namely on order
relations, quality measures, benchmarking, visualization, and
theoretical considerations. Part II offers more specialized
chapters on correlated objectives, heterogeneous objectives,
Bayesian optimization, and game theory. Written by leading experts
across the field of many-criteria optimization, this book will be
an essential resource for researchers in the fields of evolutionary
computing, operations research, multiobjective optimization, and
decision science.
Literary Translation and the Making of Originals engages such
issues as the politics and ethics of translation; how aesthetic
categories and market forces contribute to the establishment and
promotion of particular "originals"; and the role translation plays
in the formation, re-formation, and deformation of national and
international literary canons. By challenging the assumption that
stable originals even exist, Karen Emmerich also calls into
question the tropes of ideal equivalence and unavoidable loss that
contribute to the low status of translation, translations, and
translators in the current literary and academic marketplaces.
