Описание: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1,7, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, course: Cultural Studies, language: English, abstract: The story of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is well known: Holly, a young glamour girl, tries to find her way in New York City, relying on the favor of male benefactors who give her "powder-room change", while at the same time she keeps chasing her dream of marrying a rich millionaire. Paul Varjak, a young writer, falls in love with her and tries to convince her to settle down with him. The movie has become a crucial cultural reference. But before the film, there was a source text: a novella by the same title, written by Truman Capote and published in 1958. The film adaption was made only three years later, by director Blake Edwards, scriptwriter George Axelrod and the producers Martin Jurow and Richard Shepherd. Those who have read Capote's novella and have seen the film usually complain about huge difference between the two - and they undoubtedly have a point. However, adaptation studies have far too long concentrated on the issue of fidelity alone, implying that a story could just be projected on the screen without having to undergo change. But film and literature are two very different mediums and thus, in the process of an adaptation, transformation must occur. There is no need for proving that book and film are different - this has been discussed many times before and can be read in a great number of critical reviews. But there is much more to adaptation studies than a simple fidelity analysis. What I intend to do is to find out why book and film differ crucially in many points in order to prove that in spite of sharing (at least in big part) the same characters, the same setting, important parts of the story, key motifs and even often the same dialogues, the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's and the film based on it actually tell very different stories with very different, even

Описание:
These lecture notes cover Statistical Mechanics at the level of advanced undergraduates or postgraduates. After a review of thermodynamics, statistical ensembles are introduced, then applied to ideal gases, including degenerate gases of bosons and fermions, followed by a treatment of systems with interaction, of real gases, and of stochastic processes.
The book offers a comprehensive and detailed, as well as self-contained, account of material that can and has been covered in a one-semester course for students with a basic understanding of thermodynamics and a solid background in classical mechanics.
Описание: Emily tells her story of getting hit with a vestibular condition (vestibular neuritis and vestibular migraines) seemingly out of the blue, exploring her way through healing, and eventually thriving with her vestibular condition and beyond. She shares an honest and raw account of her mind and body experience in the throes of a vestibular condition, but also reveals that there was a bright light of hope in the dark tunnel and the potential for happiness and joy along the path. This book is her heart and soul transformed into the words, thoughts and feelings that decorated a chapter of her life. Writing is the perfect medium for sharing stories that are harder to tell through the spoken word and this was especially true for Emily when she was lost in the messy middle of a health crisis where she couldn't make sense of how she had even fallen into the chaotic storm or if an exit existed. She shares her path to healing, the overwhelming symptoms, experiences with doctors of western and alternative approaches, her holistic toolkit, a healing diet, climbing her way out of vestibular migraine attacks, and what it took to keep pushing through the darkness to find a grounded state. She made the decision to share her story to divulge everything that once felt broken and to create a path for others who are battling a vestibular something. Emily desperately wanted someone who had been in her shoes (or even a similar pair) to tell her that they had made it through. In this book, she tells the story and offers the support that she needed to hear. Most importantly, she unfolds her journey through the dark and how following the light within her became her guide. This book is to bring a voice to a time when she felt like she had lost hers. It's also to be a voice for the many Vestibular Warriors who deserve to be heard.

Описание: The largest financial fraud in history wasn't Enron's colossal accounting crimes, Bernie Madoff's record-setting Ponzi scheme or the Libor scandal, in which some of the world's biggest banks conspired to profit by manipulating interest rates. No, the largest financial fraud in history is one most Americans know little to nothing about. It isn't mentioned by politicians, reported on the nightly news or discussed by coworkers during lunch break. The biggest fraud in history is a financial scheme perpetrated by the U.S. government and its banking accomplices. Over the last century, they've used coercion, deception and market manipulation to convince Americans the U.S. dollar is as good as gold and silver. The truth is, it's not.
