John Walsh, "Circus of Dreams: Adventures in the 1980s Literary World"
English | ISBN: 147213348X | 2022 | 432 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Something extraordinary happened to the UK literary scene in the 1980s. In the space of eight years, a generation of young British writers took the literary novel into new realms of setting, subject matter and style, challenging - and almost eclipsing - the Establishment writers of the 1950s. It began with two names - Martin Amis and Ian McEwan - and became a flood: Julian Barnes, William Boyd, Graham Swift, Salman Rushdie, Jeanette Winterson and Pat Barker among them. The rise of the newcomers coincided with astonishing changes in the way books were published - and the ways in which readers bought them and interacted with their authors. Suddenly, authors of serious fiction were like rock stars, fashionable, sexy creatures, shrewdly marketed and feted in public.

Jørgen Bruhn, "Cinema Between Media: An Intermediality Approach"
English | ISBN: 1474429017 | 2018 | 168 pages | PDF | 15 MB
Cinema has always been a mixed medium, sharing its basic form with photography, borrowing heavily from performing arts and the novel, and combining medialities like painting and music. But although it could be argued that cinema is the intermedial art form par excellence, this insight has not affected film analysis as much as might be expected. Seeking to change our perceptions of cinema as a medium, Cinema Between Media draws on case studies of films like Zero Dark Thirty, Citizen Kane, Howl and Birdman to rethink cinema as an aesthetic form, and to raise new ideas about the practice of film analysis.

Chaining Down Leviathan: The American Dream of Self-Government 1776-1865 by Luigi Marco Bassani
English | March 27, 2021 | ASIN: B0918PPYF1, ISBN: 1733407510 | True MOBI | 421 pages | 0.8 MB
As a distinguished historian of political thought at the University of Milan, Italy, Professor Marco Bassani brings a cosmopolitan perspective to the study of American political thought unencumbered by such self-congratulatory myths as "American exceptionalism." He views America as an extension of European civilization. Having unleashed the modern state upon the world, Europeans now had the problem of how to control its inherent disposition to centralize power. In this they failed.

Cell Neurobiology Techniques By Alan A. Boulton, Glen B. Baker, Alan N. Bateson (auth.)
1999 | 391 Pages | ISBN: 0896035107 | PDF | 15 MB
Cell Neurobiology Techniques is the second work updating and expanding the best-selling inaugural volume of Humana Press's warmly received Neuromethods series, General Neurochemical Techniques (vol. 1). The cutting-edge techniques detailed in this new edition include those that are particularly popular in multidisciplinary neuroscience research. There are readily reproducible methods for establishing neural cell cultures, measuring enzymes and their inhibitors, and using quantitative autoradiography to study monoamine uptake sites and receptors in the brain. Additional methods cover the use of flow cytometry to study developmental neurobiology, applications of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to human brain metabolism, and the study of drug metabolism. The companion volumes, In Vivo Neuromethods and In Vitro Neurochemical Techniques, review both in vivo methods and in vitro neurochemical and molecular neurobiological approaches. Like the original, all three cutting-edge works will prove exceptionally useful to those basic and clinical neuroscientists who want to expand the range of their current research or develop competence in complementary methods.

Capillary Electrophoresis Guidebook: Principles, Operation, and Applications By Kevin D. Altria (auth.), Kevin D. Altria (eds.)
1996 | 349 Pages | ISBN: 0896033155 | PDF | 7 MB
This book is intended to be a working guide to the operation of capillary electrophoresis (CE) instrumentation. Since CE is still a rap idly maturing technique, detailed validated protocols are not widely established. Therefore, extensive experimental procedures are not pro vided for individual analyses. The intention is to provide general guide lines on the principles and practice of CE and to give an overview of the specific technologies and important application areas. Part I provides operating instructions for standard commercially available instruments. Guidelines are included for activities such as changing capillaries, method development, quantitative procedures, optimization of precision and sensitivity, and the validation of meth ods, fraction collection, and troubleshooting, as well as a quick guide to running a separation. The application range of CE is possibly the most diverse of all analytical techniques and ranges from large, complex macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, to small solutes, such as organic drugs and inorganic anions and cations.
