Shakespeare Vs Cthulhu An anthologie of fine stories inspir'd by
the Bard of Stratford and the Lovecraftian Mythos Imagine if it had
been William Shakespeare, England's greatest playwright, who had
discovered the truth about the Great Old Ones and the cosmic entity
we know as Cthulhu, rather than the American horror writer H P
Lovecraft. Imagine if Stratford's favourite son had been the one to
learn of the dangers of seeking after forbidden knowledge and of
the war waged between the Elder Gods in the Outer Darkness, and had
passed on that message, to those with eyes to see it, through his
plays and poetry. Welcome to the world of Shakespearean Cthulhu! To
mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare,
Snowbooks proudly presents fifteen stories of eldritch horror that
blend the Bard's most famous plays with Lovecraft's most terrifying
creations. But before you dip into this cursed tome, be warned -
that way madness lies...
James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) exemplified the ideal of the
American public intellectual as a writer, educator, songwriter,
diplomat, key figure of the Harlem Renaissance, and first African
American executive of the NAACP. Originally published anonymously
in 1912, Johnson's novel The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is
considered one of the foundational works of twentieth-century
African American literature, and its themes and forms have been
taken up by other writers, from Ralph Ellison to Teju Cole.
Johnson's novel provocatively engages with political and cultural
strains still prevalent in American discourse today, and it remains
in print over a century after its initial publication. New
Perspectives contains fresh essays that analyze the book's
reverberations, the contexts within which it was created and
received, the aesthetic and intellectual developments of its
author, and its continuing influence on American literature and
global culture.

With the spotlight on Magna Carta, which is 800 years old in 2015,
and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen of
1789, which together are of undeniable importance for fundamental
rights-thinking, the existence of similar fundamental rights
documents in other European countries is often overlooked. Such
fundamental rights documents did, however, exist in the precursors
to the current European Union Member States. Some of the documents
are ancient, even older than Magna Carta, and some are more recent,
but all of them are texts that deserve to be brought out and
analysed alongside Magna Carta and the French Declaration in order
to better understand the evolution of fundamental rights thinking
in Europe.This volume paints a multi-faceted picture of historical
fundamental rights documents in the European space by collating the
experience of 24 European Union Member States at times in history
when most of these states did not even exist. It is the first
comprehensive and systematic evaluation of early fundamental rights
thinking across Europe and it reveals surprising diversity.
Spanning documents from the fifth century BC right through to the
19th century and early 20th century AD, this review opens up themes
not normally found in historiographical analyses of fundamental
rights.

June Allen is an adventurer. Ten years old, outfitted with a wooden
sword, the latest Jack London novel, and an apple pie, she and her
dog Jack scout her part of the mountain like the greatest of old
west explorers. She knows the kinds of animals that live on her
mountain, and she knows the big bear she and Jack just encountered
was different. Very different. In 1909 California, grizzly bears
are a thing of the past. Only the old-timers have ever seen one,
and no one misses the terrible, frightening beasts. June's parents
don't believe she saw one, and don't even want her to mention the
word grizzly. Though June doesn't tell a soul, rumors spread,
attracting bear-hunters, trappers and fortune seekers, making their
ridge a very dangerous place for bears and people alike. Someone is
sure to find and kill June's grizzly. She and her parents come up
with a plan to save the bear, a plan that will take them on an
adventure the likes June has only read about in books. For readers
ten and up.

Fungi are a diverse group of organisms, studied widely because of
their commercial importance in biotechnology, agriculture and
medicine, and because they provide simple model systems for
illuminating the eukaryotic mode of life. The development of the
techniques of molecular biology has opened up new areas of
mycological research, with profound consequences such as the
sequencing of the first entire eukaryotic genome. This book focuses
on the application of molecular and cell biology to mycology and
presents examples of how these approaches are elucidating long-held
problems in areas as diverse as animal and plant pathology, protein
expression and evolution. Aimed at advanced undergraduates taking
courses in mycology, applied biology, biotechnology, fungal biology
and fungal genetics, this textbook will also serve postgraduates
needing an introduction to modern fungal research.
Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was one of the founders of quantum
theory. He is numbered alongside Newton, Maxwell and Einstein as
one of the greatest physicists of all time. Together the lectures
in this volume, originally presented on the occasion of the
dedication ceremony for a plaque commemorating Dirac in Westminster
Abbey, give a unique insight into the relationship between Dirac's
character and his scientific achievements. The text begins with the
dedication address given by Stephen Hawking at the ceremony. Then
Abraham Pais describes Dirac as a person and his approach to his
work. Maurice Jacob explains how Dirac was led to introduce the
concept of antimatter, and its central role in modern particle
physics and cosmology, followed by an account by David Olive of the
origin and enduring influence of Dirac's work on magnetic
monopoles. Finally, Sir Michael Atiyah explains the deep and
widespread significance of the Dirac equation in mathematics.
