Описание:
A small town college in northern Alberta can be chilling.
One crisp winter morning the college's domineering president, Vanessa Dworking, is found frozen behind the wheel of her Oldsmobile. Now to be sure, Ms. Dworking was not particularly well liked. In fact, she had a legion of detractors within the institution. Still, the question remained: Was it death by misadventure, or was it murder?
Corporal Freta Osprey of the RCMP needs an answer. Thus, she enlists a seemingly hapless college professor, Myron Tarasyn, to help her get the inside college scoop and ferret out the truth. Tarasyn, in turn, has some issues of his own that need sorting.
An unlikely pair, they must deal with a host of challenging academics and significant others, who are most uncooperative - if not worse Quite unwittingly, Tarasyn becomes privy to a number of nasty secrets, sordid relationships and shady actions that promise to shed light on a most suspicious death.

Описание: Foremost among the poetic accomplishments of the ?Abbasid age was the sudden flowering of a highly rhetorical and strikingly modern style of poetry, termed "badi?." It found its most radical and controversial exponent in the celebrated panegyrist to the courts of al-Ma?mun and al-Mu?ta?im, Abu Tammam ?abib ibn Aws al-?a?i. The present study offers a reevaluation of the Arabic literary dispute over Abu Tammam and badi?. It then proposes a redefinition of his diwan and of his major anthology, the ?amasah, as a metapoesis that served to decode the poetic tradition of the pre-Islamic desert for the Islamic ?Abbasid caliph and his urbane and urban courtiers and subjects, and conversely, to encode contemporary Arab-Islamic political experiences in classical form. This book is extensively illustrated with original translations.

Описание:
A body of Bedouin oral poetry which was collected in the second or third Islamic century, the pre-Islamic qasidah, or ode, stands with the Qur'an as a twin foundation of Arabo-Islamic literary culture. Throughout the rich fifteen-hundred-year history of classical Arabic literature, the qasidah served as profane anti-text to the sacred text of the Qur'an. While recognizing the esteem in which Arabs have traditionally held this poetry of the pagan past, modern critics in both East and West have yet to formulate a poetics that would provide the means to analyze and evaluate the qasidah. Suzanne Pinckney Stetkevych here offers the first aesthetics appropriate for this orally composed Arabic verse, an aesthetics that is built on—and tested on—close readings of a number of the poems. Drawing on the insights of contemporary literary theory, anthropology, and the history of religions, Stetkevych maintains that the poetry of the qasidah is ritualized in both form and function. She brings to bear an extensive body of lore, legend, and myth as she interprets individual themes and images with references to rites of passage and rituals of sacrifice. Her English translations of the poems under discussion convey the power and beauty of the originals, as well as a sense of their complex intertextuality and distinctive lexicon. The Mute Immortals Speak will be important for students and scholars in the fields of Middle Eastern literatures, Islamic studies, folklore, oral literature, and literary theory, and by anthropologists, comparatists, historians of religion, and medievalists.
Описание: In The Cooing of the Dove and the Cawing of the Crow Suzanne Pinckney Stetkevych offers original translations, close readings, and new interpretations of selected poems from the two contrasting diwans of the blind Late ?Abbasid master-poet, Abu al-?Ala? al-Ma?arri (d. 449 H./1057 C.E.). The first is Saq? al-Zand (Sparks of the Flint), the highly esteemed collection of qa?idah poetry of his youth, which he later disavowed. The second is Luzum Ma La Yalzam (Requiring What Is Not Required), the programmatic double-rhymed collection from his later period of withdrawal and seclusion. She argues that the contrasting ‘poetics of engagement’ and ‘poetics of disengagement’ of the two diwans reflect the transition from High Classical to Post Classical aesthetics.
Elwyn Berlekamp, John Conway, and Richard Guy wrote ‘Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays’ and turned a recreational mathematics topic into a full mathematical fi eld. They combined set theory, combinatorics, codes, algorithms, and a smattering of other fi elds, leavened with a liberal dose of humor and wit. Their legacy is a lively fi eld of study that still produces many surprises. Despite being experts in other areas of mathematics, in the 50 years since its publication, they also mentored, talked, and played games, giving their time, expertise, and guidance to several generations of mathematicians.
This volume is dedicated to Elwyn Berlekamp, John Conway, and Richard Guy. It includes 20 contributions from colleagues that refl ect on their work in combinatorial game theory.
