Описание: Originally written in 1976 for his Paris-New York exhibition, Reflection on a Past Life is painter William N. Copley's (1919-1996) humorous and insightful account of his many bizarre encounters with key Surrealists, such as Man Ray, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp and Ren Magritte. After inheriting a fortune as a young man, Copley (often known as CPLY), used his family wealth to open The Copley Galleries in Beverly Hills shortly after World War II, where he exhibited works by major Surrealist artists. Although the gallery proved to be a financial flop, closing after its first year, Copley secured a place in the annals of art history by bringing Surrealism to Hollywood, as well as with his own painting. This memoir provides a revealing and intimate look at the work and thought processes of Copley's heroes from the frank, engaging perspective of a younger colleague.
Описание: A stunning, complex narrative about the fractured legacy of a decades-old double murder in rural West Virginia-and the writer determined to put the pieces back together. In the early evening of June 25, 1980 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, two middle-class outsiders named Vicki Durian, 26, and Nancy Santomero, 19, were murdered in an isolated clearing. They were hitchhiking to a festival known as the Rainbow Gathering but never arrived. For thirteen years, no one was prosecuted for the "Rainbow Murders" though deep suspicion was cast on a succession of local residents in the community, depicted as poor, dangerous, and backward. In 1993, a local farmer was convicted, only to be released when a known serial killer and diagnosed schizophrenic named Joseph Paul Franklin claimed responsibility. As time passed, the truth seemed to slip away, and the investigation itself inflicted its own traumas--turning neighbor against neighbor and confirming the fears of violence outsiders have done to this region for centuries. In The Third Rainbow Girl, Emma Copley Eisenberg uses the Rainbow Murders case as a starting point for a thought-provoking tale of an Appalachian community bound by the false stories that have been told about. Weaving in experiences from her own years spent living in Pocahontas County, she follows the threads of this crime through the complex history of Appalachia, revealing how this mysterious murder has loomed over all those affected for generations, shaping their fears, fates, and desires. Beautifully written and brutally honest, The Third Rainbow Girl presents a searing and wide-ranging portrait of America-divided by gender and class, and haunted by its own violence.

Описание:
Little Naomi Charles lives a happy life with her mum and dad and her dog and cat. She has a few good friends at school too. But there is one blot on her horizon and that is the unpleasant bully in her class, Caroline Garrett, a snobbish rich kid who picks on Naomi all the time.
One night, Naomi wakes up to find a curious little visitor stuck to her pillow. He is the Fibsquiddler, a small secretive creature who lives under the floorboards of her house.
The two develop a charming night-time friendship and Fibsquiddler ends up getting involved in her daytime struggles at school by accident, on a day when Caroline does something terrible to Naomi.
In this lovely tale of an unlikely friendship, we also see redemption and love, a beautiful little tale of victory and companionship.

Описание: The book begins with a thorough introduction to complex analysis, which is then used to understand the properties of ordinary differential equations and their solutions. The latter are obtained in both series and integral representations. Integral transforms are introduced, providing an opportunity to complement complex analysis with techniques that flow from an algebraic approach. This moves naturally into a discussion of eigenvalue and boundary vale problems. A thorough discussion of multi-dimensional boundary value problems then introduces the reader to the fundamental partial differential equations and “special functions” of mathematical physics. Moving to non-homogeneous boundary value problems the reader is presented with an analysis of Green’s functions from both analytical and algebraic points of view. This leads to a concluding chapter on integral equations.

Описание:
"Kevin Fife," his teacher started. "To look at you, you wouldn't think butter would melt in your mouth. You look much younger than you are, freckles and glasses. A cheeky little boy face. But for all that, you are always getting into trouble. Always up to some mischief. It was you who put that cat in Mr Olney's cupboard, nearly gave him a heart attack when it jumped out onto his head and clawed off his wig."
In January 1940, when 14-year-old Kevin Fife gets into bother with the law, the Juvenile Court Magistrates disagree that the offences are only minor boyish mischief. They say he beyond parental control, and, as an alternative to being sent to Borstal, they order that he joins the Merchant Navy as a boy-seaman. For the next 12 months, Kevin faces the dangers of the sea and the violence of the enemy.
