Nestled among rugged mountains, in a remote part of Catalonia frequented by wolf hunters, bandits, witches, deserters, ghosts, beasts and demons, sits the old farmhouse called Mas Clavell. Inside, an impossibly old woman lies on her deathbed while family and caretakers drift in and out. All the women who have ever lived and died in that house are waiting for her to join them. They are preparing to throw her a party.
As day turns to night, four hundred years’ worth of memories unspool, and the house reverberates with the women’s stories. Stories of mysterious visions, of those born without eyelashes and tongues or with deformed hearts. But it begins with the story of the matriarch Blanca who double-crosses the devil, heedless of what the consequences might be.
I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness is a formally daring and entrancing novel in which Irene Solŕ explores the duality and essential link between light and darkness, life and death, oblivion and memory.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Fused Deposition Modeling of Composite Materials is dedicated to
the field of 3D-printing of composite materials using a popular
technique called Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), the world's most
popular 3D printing method. But this method is currently limited to
printing basic polymers and only a handful of primitive composite
materials. Many future industries, such as Space, Biomed,
Construction and Defense are waiting for the ability to 3D print
composites and new functional materials with complex shapes and
features so they can add unique and customizable features to their
parts, including biocompatibility, radiation shielding,
high-strength, rapid cooling, flexibility and shape-memory. The
book's authors take the reader through the basics of what the FDM
technique is all about and describe the advantages and new
opportunities arising from 3D printing innovative materials, which
include polymer-matrix composites and fully inorganic parts. They
then review and discuss methods for making the different types of
composite feedstock filaments needed to 3D print such materials by
FDM. Finally, sections discuss the challenges that should be
considered in making filaments and parts and how to go about
solving them.
