Atlas of Benthic Foraminifera (9781118389805)

An up-to-date atlas of an important fossil and living group, with the Natural History Museum. Deep-sea benthic foraminifera have played a central role in biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleoceanographical research for over a century. These single celled marine protists are important because of their geographic ubiquity, distinction morphologies and rapid evolutionary rates, their abundance and diversity deep sea sediments, and because of their utility as indicators of environmental conditions both at and below the sediment water interface. In addition, stable isotopic data obtained from deep sea benthic foraminiferal tests provide paleoceanographers with environmental information that is proving to be of major significance in studies of global climatic change. This work collects together, for the first time, new morphological descriptions, taxonomic placements, stratigraphic occurrence data, geographical distribution summaries, and palaeoecological information, along with stat

Mucha (9783836550093)

With his instantly recognizable decorative style, Czech artist and Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) defined the look of the fin-de-siecle. In evocative shades of peach, gold, ochre, and olive, his seductive compositions of patterns, flowers, and beautiful women became paradigms of the Belle Epoque years. Mucha's work permeated illustration, posters, postcards, and the advertising designs of his day. His striking posters of star actress Sarah Bernhardt were particularly famous. Alongside this delicate decorative work, Mucha also harbored strongly felt political ideas. With his monumental cycle The Slav Epic, he expressed his staunch support for Pan-Slavism, promoting the political independence of the Czech and Slavic nations from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Compiled in association with the Mucha Foundation, this book presents key works and introduces the full reach of Mucha's oeuvre from patterned decoration to his book illustrations, posters, photographs and monum

AfterThoughts (9780557140619)

It invokes thoughts and powerful feelings in both listeners and readers. Afterthoughts is an autobiography in which poetry is the chosen literary genre. Each poem is a depiction of love found, love lost, heartbreak, hardship, success, inspiration and much more that I have experienced in my lifetime. Product details Format Paperback | 109 pages

Junky : The Definitive Text of 'Junk' (9780141189826)

Burroughs' first novel, a largely autobiographical account of the constant cycle of drug dependency, cures and relapses, remains the most unflinching, unsentimental account of addiction ever written. Through junk neighbourhoods in New York, New Orleans and Mexico City, through time spent kicking, time spent dealing and time rolling drunks for money, through junk sickness and a sanatorium, `Junky` is a field report (by a writer trained in anthropology at Harvard) from the American post-war drug underground. A cult classic, it has influenced generations of writers with its raw, sparse and unapologetic tone. This definitive edition painstakingly recreates the author's original text word for word.

Regatul transcendent - Yaa Gyasi (9786063381096)

Gifty, o tanara de origine ghaneza, este doctoranda in neurostiinte la Universitatea Stanford si studiaza comportamentul soarecilor in raport cu anticiparea recompensei. Altfel spus, incearca sa determine circuitele neuronale implicate in dependenta si depresie. Nu intamplator si-a ales aceasta tema de studiu. Fratele ei a pierdut lupta cu dependenta de droguri, iar mama este o victima a depresiei. Doua tendinte par sa se afle in conflict in constiinta lui Gifty. Pe de o parte, devotamentul pentru credinta in care a fost crescuta o face sa evalueze si sa reevalueze permanent rolul divinitatii in destinul omului, dar si propria relatie cu Dumnezeu. Pe de alta parte, ii este tot mai evident ca viata si miracolul constiintei si al personalitatii umane depind de procese chimice si fizice a caror elucidare stiintifica formeaza obiectivul muncii sale. Si peste toate acestea, conditia de imigrant cu radacini intr-o tara indepartata, amplificata de prejudecatile rasiste completeaza un roman co
