The articles collected in this volume trace the issues that affect students, consumers, corporate entities, and the nation when it comes to addressing and managing debt. Media literacy questions and terms aid readers in assessing news coverage of the topic.

Comics are a global phenomenon, and yet it's easy to distinguish the visual styles of comics from Asia, Europe, or the United States. But, do the structures of these visual narratives differ in more subtle ways? Might these comics actually be drawn in different visual languages that vary in their structures across cultures? To address these questions, The Patterns of Comics seeks evidence through a sustained analysis of an annotated corpus of over 36,000 panels from more than 350 comics from Asia, Europe, and the United States. This data-driven approach reveals the cross-cultural variation in symbology, layout, and storytelling between various visual languages, and shows how comics have changed across 80 years. It compares, for example, the subtypes within American comics and Japanese manga, and analyzes the formal properties of Bill Watterson's

Free Download Particle-Laden Flow: From Geophysical to Kolmogorov Scales by Bernard J. Geurts, Herman Clercx, Wim Uijttewaal
English | PDF | 2007 | 408 Pages | ISBN : 1402062176 | 8.7 MB
This book contains a selection of the papers that were presented at the EUROMECH colloquium on particle-laden flow held at the University of Twente in 2006. The multiscale nature of this challenging field motivated the calling of the colloquium and reflects the central importance that the dispersion of particles in a flow has in various geophysical and environmental problems. The spreading of aerosols and soot in the air, the growth and dispersion of plankton blooms in seas and oceans, or the transport of sediment in rivers, estuaries and coastal regions are striking examples.

Rethinking Religion makes a special effort to reach readers who are either hostile to or indifferent to religion-with the aim not of converting them, but of encouraging them to rethink religion. In the last few years a number of best-selling books by writers like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens have been credited with establishing the so-called New Atheism as a force to be reckoned with. Watson's book opens by delivering a broadside against Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris, convincingly arguing that while they may deserve some credit for opening the subject up to the general public we should turn to a number of much less well known thinkers (Derrida, Levinas, Agamben) and bring them into conversation with such novelists as D.H.Lawrence and Joseph Conrad if we are looking for true illumination. Even though he writes from a position outside of any organized religion, part of Watson's argument is that we are deluding ourselves if we believe that we are not in one way or another implicated in religion. The choice we face is not religion or no religion: it is which religion-one of the traditionally recognized religions or one of those (patriotism, sports, career etc.) that usually don't recognize themselves as religions?

On Emerging from Hyper-Nation represents Ronald W. Sousa's attempt to answer the question, "Why do I smile on reading one of Saramago's 'historical' novels?" Why that reaction of emotional release? To answer the "smile question" the book engages in a critical mode that could be described as "discourse analysis." It combines several critical strains and relies on basic concepts from Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, Adlerian psychology, and contemporary cognitive psychology for their discourse-analytical value rather than as entrées into psychoanalytical reading per se. The introductory chapter presents some of the concepts that underlie that compound analytical modality and sets out an overview of twentieth-century Portuguese social and economic history. Then, with an eye to answering the "smile question," the book reads Nobel Laureate José Saramago's three novels,

From the files of Scotland Yard's "Black Museum" (open only to police officers) come true crime stories of some of the most infamous murder cases of the 19th and 20th centuries-the Lambeth Poisoner, "baby farmer" Amelia Elizabeth Dyer, the Gentleman Vampire of Bournemouth, the Brides in the Bath Murders, the Rillington Place murders and many others. Along the way, investigators pass a number of crime-solving milestones, included the first use of fingerprint technology, the early use of photography and the first time "The Yard" enlisted the press to help hunt down a killer.
