In American Poetic Materialism from Whitman to Stevens, Mark Noble
examines writers who rethink the human in material terms. Do our
experiences correlate to our material elements? Do visions of a
common physical ground imply a common purpose? Noble proposes new
readings of Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William James,
George Santayana and Wallace Stevens that explore a literary
history wrestling with the consequences of its own materialism. At
a moment when several new models of the relationship between human
experience and its physical ground circulate among critical
theorists and philosophers of science, this book turns to poets who
have long asked what our shared materiality can tell us about our
prospects for new models of our material selves.
Electrons are involved in all electrical phenomena, and living
cells cannot be an exception. This book takes on a decidedly
different approach to existing texts on electrophysiology, by
considering electrical physiological processes from the viewpoint
of electron flow, rather than the conventional notion of ion
movement. It concisely describes the theoretical background of
electron density and cellular voltage, before exploring
thought-provoking questions such as the relationship between
electrolyte distribution and transmembrane potential, and the
source of electricity generation in living cells. A new
electromagnetic theory of muscular function is presented, and all
topics of relevance - including the electrophysiology of
invertebrates, plants, fungi and bacteria - are comprehensively
covered. Using plain language and more than 40 original
illustrations, the author has designed each chapter to provide a
succinct overview of an individual topic in a format that appeals
to both the expert and the uninitiated. Electromagnetism, Quanta,
and Electron Flow in the Electrophysiology of Living Cells proffers
a refreshingly new way to understand a fascinatingly old subject.
*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* This is the remarkable story of a
local lad who grew up in the shadow of Upton Park and became ‘Mr
West Ham’: a one-club man who lived the dream. A modern
footballing legend, Mark Noble is the embodiment of what it means
to be a Hammer, pouring his heart and soul into the club he
supported as a boy. Born and raised in Canning Town, Mark joined
the West Ham youth squad in 2000 and made his senior-team debut
aged just 17. Now, after over 20 years, with a wealth of memories
and more than 500 appearances for his boyhood club under his belt,
Mark finally looks back at his remarkable career, reflecting on his
journey from boot boy to club captain, bossing the midfield,
scoring pressure penalties and becoming an inspirational figurehead
on and off the pitch. This is the story of a brilliant footballer,
a genuine ambassador and a local legend. This is the unforgettable
autobiography of Mark Noble.
