From the BESTSELLING author of Dust Life can change in a split
second, and so it does for twenty-eight-year-old photographer Finn
Chambers. One careless decision at the Cimitero Acattolico in the
eternal city of Rome, finds him falling head first onto Shelley's
tomb, to his death. He awakes to a beautiful afterlife surrounded
by long-dead poets, artists and thinkers, including Shelley, Keats,
Gramsci, Sanchez and the delightful Lady Mary von Haas, and these
luminaries test Finn's values and principles in a way they have
never been tested before. Uncomfortable truths require honest
assessment when the 21st century's lust for celebrity, drugs, and
fifteen minutes of fame, is questioned by others from centuries
past but his new life finds much in common with his previous life,
with love, art, sex, music, humour and irreverence, all experienced
on this different and fascinating plane. For Finn Chambers there is
life after death - and it's a life worth living.
The Philippines is a fascinating example of a "poor country
democracy" where issues of economic development and poverty,
political participation and stability, as well as ethnicity and
migration are crucial. The Routledge Handbook of the Contemporary
Philippines provides a comprehensive overview of the current
political, economic, social, and cultural issues of the country.
The Handbook is divided into the following four sections
concentrating on a different aspect of the Philippines: domestic
politics; foreign relations; economics and social policy; cultures
and movements. In terms of domestic politics, chapters discuss
clientelism, bossism, dynasties, pork barrel and corruption as well
as institutions - the presidency, congress, the judiciary, the
civil service, political parties, and civilian-military relations.
The Philippines is confronted with many overseas challenges, with
the foreign relations section focused on the country's relationship
with China, Japan, and the USA as well as assessing the impact of
the Filipino diaspora community around the world. Regarding
economics and social policy, authors examine industrial policy,
capital flight, microfinance, technocracy, economic nationalism,
poverty, social welfare programs, and livelihoods. The final
section on Philippine cultures and movements highlights issues of
customs, gender, religion, and nationalism while also examining
various social and political forces - the peasantry, the middle
class, indigenous peoples, NGOs, the left, trade unionism, the
women's movement, and major insurgencies. Written by leading
experts in the field, the Handbook provides students, scholars, and
policymakers of Southeast Asia with an interdisciplinary resource
on the evolving politics, society, and economics of the
Philippines.
Case Studies in Star Formation offers an overview of our current
observational and theoretical understanding in the molecular
astronomy of star formation. The book is divided into six sections:
the first introduces an overview of star formation and the
essential language, concepts and tools specific to molecular
astronomy studies. Each subsequent section focuses on individual
sources, beginning with a description of large-scale surveys. The
volume covers low- and high mass star formation, ionization and
photodissociation regions, and concludes with the extragalactic
perspective. Conventional textbooks begin with principles, ending
with a few convenient examples. Through copious examples, Case
Studies reflects the reality of research, which requires the
creative matching of ongoing observations to theory and vice-versa,
often raising as many questions as answers. This supplementary
study guide enables graduate students and early researchers to
bridge the gap between textbooks and the wealth of research
literature.
The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Mentalizing Tales of Dating and
Marriage is about the dynamics of intimate interpersonal
relationships (dating and marriage) - how and why human pairings
occur, what helps them function optimally and how therapists can
intervene when they don't. J. Mark Thompson and Richard Tuch employ
a multidimensional perspective that provides a variety of "lenses"
through which intimate relationships can be viewed. The authors
also offer a new model of couples therapy based on the
mentalization model of treatment developed by Peter Fonagy and his
colleagues. This book is aimed at those interested in the nature of
intimate relationships as well as those wishing to expand their
clinical skills, whether they are conducting one-on-one therapy
with individuals struggling to establish and maintain intimate
relations or are conducting conjoint treatment with troubled
couples who have sought the therapist's assistance. Thompson and
Tuch view relationships from a wide array of different
perspectives: mentalization, attachment theory, evolutionary
psychology, psychoanalysis, pattern recognition (neuroscience), and
role theory. A mentalization based approach to couples therapy is
clearly explained in a "how to" fashion, with concrete suggestions
about how the therapist goes about clinically intervening given
their expanded understanding of the dynamics of intimate relations
outlined in the book. The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Mentalizing
Tales of Dating and Marriage will appeal to psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social
workers, marriage therapists, and all those interested in both
learning more about the dynamics of one-on-one intimate
relationships (dating and marriage) from a truly multidimensional
perspective and in learning how to conduct mentalization-based
couples therapy.

'Early in life, my grandfather told me that only three things were
certain: birth, death and time. And time only ticked one way; it
went forward and never back. It came to be a recurring wish with
me, the desire to turn back the clock, to undo what I had done.
Always wishing for the impossible, my feet stuck firm in the
molasses of the present, unable to shrug off decisions I had made
and their unforeseen or disregarded consequences.' J.J Walsh and
Tony 'El Greco' Papadakis are inseparable. Smoking Kents out on an
abandoned cannery dock, and watching gulls sway on rusting buoys in
the sea, they dream of adventure...a time when they can act as
adults. The day they'll see the mighty Pacific Ocean. Set in
small-town New Jersey in the 1960s, against the backdrop of the
Vietnam war, Dust follows the boys through the dry heat of a
formative summer. They face religious piety and its murderous
consequences, alcohol, girls, sex, loss, tragedy and ultimately the
tiny things that combine to make life what it is for the two
friends - a great adventure. But it's a road trip through the heart
of southern America with J.J.'s father that truly reveals a darker
side to life - the two halves of a divided nation, where wealth,
poverty and racial bigotry collide.This beautifully written debut
novel would not be out of place alongside the work of Steinbeck and
Philipp Meyer's American Rust. At turns funny, and at others
heart-achingly sad, their story unfolds around the honest and
frequently irreverent observations of two young people trying to
grow up fast in a world that is at times confusing, and at others
seen with a clarity only the young may possess.
Organic LEDs (OLEDs) in mobile displays have been in large-scale
production for over a decade, and OLED-based televisions are
rapidly gaining traction in the marketplace. OLEDs are on the verge
of entering the solid-state lighting market in a big way. The OLED
technology gives higher color purity and is more efficient than any
of the competing technologies. When produced at scale, OLEDs are
also economical. A key limitation in the development of OLEDs was
the efficient conversion of all of the electrical energy put into
the device into light. Until the late 1990s, the maximum efficiency
of OLEDs was limited to 25% (photons/electrons), but this
limitation was removed and OLEDs with 100% efficiency were reported
in the early 2000s. This advance in OLED technology was driven by
the author of this book. He and his collaborators developed
electrophosphorescence, which is essential in reaching the 100%
efficiency that is now commonplace in commercial devices.
The Western Front dominates our memories of the First World War.
Yet a million and half men died in North East Italy in a war that
need never have happened, when Italy declared war on the Habsburg
Empire in May 1915. Led by General Luigi Cadorna, the most ruthless
of all the Great War commanders, waves of Italian conscripts were
sent charging up the limestone hills north of Trieste to be
massacred by troops fighting to save their homelands. This is a
great, tragic military history of a war that gave birth to fascism.
Mussolini fought in these trenches, but so did many of the greatest
modernist writers in Italian and German - Ungaretti, Gadda, Musil,
Hemingway. It is through these accounts that Mark Thompson, with
great skill and empathy, brings to life this forgotten conflict.

This book addresses flow separation within the context of
fluid-structure interaction phenomena. Here, new findings from two
research communities focusing on fluids and structures are brought
together, emphasizing the importance of a unified multidisciplinary
approach. The book covers the theory, experimental findings,
numerical simulations, and modeling in fluid dynamics and
structural mechanics for both incompressible and compressible
separated unsteady flows. There is a focus on the morphing of
lifting structures in order to increase their aerodynamic and/or
hydrodynamic performances, to control separation and to reduce
noise, as well as to inspire the design of novel structures. The
different chapters are based on contributions presented at the
ERCOFTAC Symposium on Unsteady Separation in Fluid-Structure
Interaction held in Mykonos, Greece, 17-21 June, 2013 and include
extended discussions and new highlights. The book is intended for
students, researchers and practitioners in the broad field of
computational fluid dynamics and computational structural
mechanics. It aims at supporting them while dealing with practical
issues, such as developing control strategies for unsteady
separation and applying smart materials and biomimetic approaches
for design and control.

Baba Yaga is an old hag who lives in a house built on chicken legs
and kidnaps small children. She is one of the most pervasive and
powerful creatures in all mythology. She appears in many forms: as
Pupa, a tricksy, cantankerous old woman who keeps her legs tucked
into a huge furry boot; as a trio of mischievous elderly women who
embark on the trip of a lifetime to a hotel spa; and as a
villainous flock of ravens, black hens and magpies infected with
the H5N1 virus. But what story does Baba Yaga have to tell us
today? This is a quizzical tale about one of the most pervasive and
poerful creatures in all mythology, and an extraordinary yarn of
identity, secrets, storytelling and love.

Danilo Kis (1935 89) was a Yugoslav novelist, essayist, poet,
and translator whose work generated storms of controversy in his
homeland but today holds classic status. Kis was championed by
prominent literary figures around the world, including Joseph
Brodsky, Susan Sontag, Milan Kundera, Philip Roth, Nadine Gordimer,
and Salman Rushdie. As more of his works become available in
translation, they are prized by an international readership drawn
to Kis's innovative brilliance as a storyteller and to his profound
meditation on history, culture, and the human condition at the end
of the twentieth century.
A subtle analysis of a rich and varied body of writing, Birth
Certificate is also a careful and sensitive telling of a life that
experienced some of the last century's greatest cruelties. Kis's
father was a Hungarian Jew, his mother a Montenegrin of Orthodox
faith. The father disappeared into the Holocaust and the son
cosmopolitan, anticommunist, and passionately opposed to the
myth-drenched nationalisms of his native lands grew up chafing
against the hypocrisies of Titoism. His writing broke with the epic
mode, pioneered modernist techniques in his language, fulminated
against literary kitsch, and sketched out a literary heritage "with
no Sun as its Center and Tyrant." Joyce and Borges were influences
on his writing, which nevertheless is stunningly original. The best
known of his works are Garden, Ashes; The Encyclopedia of the Dead;
Hourglass; The Anatomy Lesson; and A Tomb for Boris Davidovich.
Over the course of nearly two decades, Mark Thompson studied
Kis's papers and interviewed his family members, friends, and
admirers. His intimate understanding of the writer s life and his
sure grasp of the region s history inform his revelatory readings
of Kis s individual works.More than an appreciation of an important
literary and cultural figure, this book is also a compelling guide
to the destructive policies which would, shortly after Kis s death,
generate the worst violence in Europe since World War II. Thompson
s book pays tribute to Kis s experimentalism by being itself
experimental in form. It is patterned as a series of commentaries
on a short autobiographical text that Kis called "Birth
Certificate." This unusual structure adds to the interest and
intrigue of the book, and is appropriate for treating so
autobiographical a writer who believed that literary meaning is
always deeply shaped by other texts."
LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2017 How do we discuss serious
ideas in the age of 24-hour news? What was rhetoric in the past and
what should it be now? And what does Islamic State have in common
with Donald Trump? We've never had more information or more
opportunity to debate the issues of the day. Yet the relationship
between politicians, the media and the public is characterised by
suspicion, mistrust and apathy. What has gone wrong? Enough Said
reveals how political, social and technological change has
transformed our political landscape - and how we talk about the
issues that affect us all. Political rhetoric has become stale and
the mistrust of politicians has made voters flock to populists who
promise authenticity, honesty and truth instead of spin,
evasiveness and lies. Featuring Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin, Tony
Blair and George Osborne, Silvio Berlusconi and many more star
performers, Enough Said shows how public language is losing its
power, and how an ominous gap is opening between the governed and
those who govern. The result of decades of first-hand experience of
politics and media, this is an essential, brilliant diagnosis of
what we should stop doing and what we should start doing in order
to reinvigorate Western democracy.
