The Drift: Affect, Adaptation, and New Perspectives on Fidelity
offers a new perspective on the complex interrelations between
literature and cinema. It does so by articulating an 'affective
turn' for adaptation studies, a field whose traditional focus has
been the critical castigation of film adaptations of canonical
plays or novels. Drawing on theorists such as Gilles Deleuze, Brian
Massumi, and Marco Abel, the author is able to re-conceive literary
and cinematic works as textual engines generating and circulating
affect, and the adaptive process as a drifting of those affective
intensities from one medium to another. By conceptualizing
adaptation in this manner, the work steers clear of the chimerical
notion of 'fidelity' (to character, to theme, to narrative) which
has anchored so many analyses of adaptive texts over the years-and
the reproving language that inevitably attends it-in favor of more
productive avenues of investigation: What affective work are
certain literary and filmic texts performing? What can this tell
us, more broadly, about the underexplored affective dimensions of
literature and cinema, and the dialogic interactions between them?
The Drift addresses such questions through close, careful readings
which put a variety of realist, modernist, and postmodernist works
into conversation with each other, among them the fiction of John
Dos Passos, Don DeLillo, and Susanna Moore, the films of Dziga
Vertov and Sergei Eisenstein, as well as recent cinematic
adaptations by Jane Campion and Charles Burnett. This
methodological approach, helps to elevate adaptation studies into a
discourse that speaks more directly and pertinently to our fluid,
hypertextual era

This Essential Buyers Guide gives prospective buyers key
information about the Porsche 924, allowing them to make informed
decisions about the pros and cons of buying one. The Porsche 924
models were built from 1976 to 1988, and grew from relatively
modest performance 2+2 coupes to fire breathing turbo rally and
racing cars achieving success in many forms of motorsport. The
models have many excellent points; however, as with any car that is
30 years old, there are also some negatives to be considered. This
balance is discussed, along with the reality of living with a 924,
what to look for in any potential purchases. Don't buy a Porsche
924 without this book!
In 1964 three cousins tapped three thousand sugar maples deep in
the Maine woods. They called themselves Jackson Mountain Maple
Farm. Boiling Off is the story of making Maine maple syrup
commercially in Temple, Maine, for fifty-some years, and how a
30-year technology revolution beginning in the 1980s changed the
face of Maine sugaring forever. Woven into the story of Jackson
Mountain Maple Farm is the history of Maine sugaring beginning in
Farmington in 1781, when Stephen Titcomb boiled off the first
official pure Maine maple syrup in a cast iron kettle. Boiling Off
tracks the evolution of sugaring technology from Titcomb’s kettle
to reverse osmosis and heat exchangers; follows sap gathering
techniques from buckets and oxen-drawn drays to plastic tubing and
vacuum pumps; and records production in Maine from 8,000 gallons of
maple syrup in 1985 to 709,000 gallons in 2017. The story describes
the subtleties of syrup flavor, how it is properly graded, and the
art of making award-winning maple syrup. It also reveals who
produces Maine maple syrup, where it is harvested, and how L. L.
Bean came to first stock it on their shelves.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.
