The Metal-Hydrogen System

Book Description

Metal hydrides are of inestimable importance for the future of hydrogen energy. This unique monograph presents a clear and comprehensive description of the bulk properties of the metal-hydrogen system. The statistical thermodynamics is treated over a very wide range of pressure, temperature and composition. Another prominent feature of the book is its elucidation of the quantum mechanical behavior of interstitial hydrogen atoms, including their states and motion. The important topic of hydrogen interaction with lattice defects and its materials-science implications are also discussed thoroughly. This second edition has been substantially revised and updated.

Book Description

The Nobel Prize-winning poet's most popular work

When it appeared in 1924, this work launched into the international spotlight a young and unknown poet whose writings would ignite a generation. W. S. Merwin's incomparable translation faces the original Spanish text. Now in a black-spine Classics edition, this book stands as an essential collection that continues to inspire lovers and poets around the world.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful!.......2007-01-17

This book was very beneficial as I translated some of the poems myself. It allowed me to compare differences in the two translations and choose which was most accurate.

Love poems for all of us.......2007-01-09

Our Spanish is weak, mine much weaker than hers, but the language speaks, the tone of the language sings, as we sit on a beach and share these beatiful poems, in words we understand, and sounds we listen to.

One of my favorite writers.......2006-08-15

In this duel language edition, the voice is soft, sincere, and refreshing. His language borders on a passion that seems to rouse the senses like skydiving, or waiting for first rain. I recommend this book and all his books to the poetry reader.

the most romantic book of love poems ever written.......2006-04-07

perhaps this is the most romantic and most beautiful book of love poems ever written. every word, every stanza is so easily read, so quickly understood, like an arrow to the heard. give this gift to your lover and they will never forget it.

Beautiful, wrenching poetry.......2004-07-30

A beautiful gift for a lover. Perfect Valentine's Day gift or some other romantic moment. Draw a bath for them, light a candle, pour some wine, and sit and read them some of these often torrid poems. You will thank me later! MUCH later!

Book Description

"This is a major book for the field of contemporary Latin American poetry, original in its scope, depth, and breadth.... It is a showcase of recent currents of expression in Latin America."

—Jacobo Sefamí, Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, University of California, Irvine

Has poetry lost its relevance in the postmodern age, unable to keep pace with other forms of cultural production such as film, mass media, and the Internet? Quite the contrary, argues Jill Kuhnheim in this pathfinding book, which explores how recent Spanish American poetry participates in the fundamental cultural debates of its time.

Using a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, Kuhnheim engages in close readings of numerous poetic works to show how contemporary Spanish American poetry struggles with the divisions between politics and aesthetics and between visual and written images; grapples with issues of ethnic, national, sexual, and urban identities; and incorporates rather than rejects technological innovations and elements from the mass media. Her analysis illuminates the ways in which contemporary issues such as indigenismo and Latin America's postcolonial legacy, modernization, immigration, globalization, economic shifts toward neoliberalism and informal economies, urbanization, and the technological revolution have been expressed in—and even changed the very form of—Spanish American poetry since the 1970s.

Very 'post-colonial'........2001-11-30

'A Hot Country' almost reads like a parody of a 'post-colonial' novel, just waiting to be snapped up by earnest lecturers and set on English Literature classes. Set in the fictional South American country of Cuyama, a former slave colony recently granted independence, it focuses on three characters: Dina Massingham, the book's main centre of consciousness, daughter of an Anglicised Hindustani family, and gutted of soul, spirit and hope, by a combination of personal experience, character and historical circumstances; her unlovable husband, Aubrey St. Pierre, scion of the country's pre-eminent slave-owners, now living in genteel decline, full of egotistical humanitarian desire to atone for his family's past, and given to pedantic and pompous speeches full of noble Enlightenment values that seem preposterous and ineffectual in this context; and Aubrey's former college room-mate Alex Richer, a journalist famous for writing about Third World regimes, now jaded and unwillingly visiting a friend he had unceremoniously dumped.

Like most post-colonial literature (especially from my home country Ireland), 'A Hot Country' chooses to focus on the class in decline rather than the liberated former slaves, the resentful poor, the underclass, the politically disenfranchised, the 'mob'. This has the effect of pandering to the world-view of the assumed middle-class reader, even as it is criticised. And in that view, politics, history and other people are not scientific disciplines that can be analysed or understood with cause and effect precision, but as hazy and hallucinatory as the atmospheric effects created by the grey, mirror-like sea, the mouldering vegetation and the burning sun, as the somnolent lives and minds of the characters, especially Dina. We learn what independence, the increasing totlitarianism of and hostility towards the whites by the Marxist regime means to the declining elite, but the majority black population remain an enigmatic Other, their voices confined to malevolent stares, acts of violence and mass frenzy - the country is hot not just because of the rotting tropical climate, but because the old colonial town is being razed to the ground. Even Dina, the most coherent and least unsympathetic character, poised, as a Christianised Hindustani married to old gentry, between both worlds, seems less a suffering, feeling person, than an idea of what women should be in post-colonial, proto-feminist literature (at one point, she actually says, in conversation: 'Each morning, I have to re-invent myself'. Like you do).

Too many conversations are unnaturally staged to Inform The Reader; too many scenes are set up to be heavily symbolic. The book is written in that kind of verbose journalese you get in Coetzee, studiously trying to avoid the literary, the poetic, the beautiful; but also, by extension, the life-like.

A Fictional Story of Colonialism.......2000-01-26

There is no such country as Cuyama. It exists only in the author, Shiva Naipaul's, imagination, placed somewhere on the coast of South America. It seems real though, with a history that is the story of colonialism itself.

Written in 1983, shortly before the author's untimely death two years later at the age of 40, it is a small gem of a book, somber in mood, that makes the reader aware of this small, forgotten, part of the world.

Aubrey St. Pierre, plagued with guilt over his slave-owning ancestors, sits in his musty bookshop and writes protest letters to the Times in London and New York. His wife, Dina, the daughter of a converted Hindustani and a Portuguese woman never quite fits in. She has an English last name and a university education but feels alienated and aloof.

The climate is always hot, fires burn, vegetation rots, and buildings are crumbling. The government is corrupt, there is unrest, poverty and disillusionment.

The author was born in Trinidad and educated in England and the writing is that of an educated Englishman. The book is short and he uses his words with economy and precision.

The country seethes with malaise. The story reflects this well. The characters are complex and deep. And their world is joyless. The tone never varies and the reader is gripped with the feeling of hopelessness and sadness.

I was completely drawn into the book though, reading it slowly, one paragraph at a time in the subway,on a bus, before I fell asleep at night. It haunted me, touched me. Any violence in the book is referred to obliquely in the past. There is instead, a feeling of hopelessness.

Book Description

This collection of essays, written by a distinguished group of literary critics, explores the Jewish woman's experience in Latin America. It came about as an attempt to define the cultural experience of Jewish Latin American women writers, as well as their relationship with their various countries. Included are Ilan Stavans and Magdalena Maiz-Peña writing on Mexico, David William Foster on Argentina, Regina Igel and Nelson Vieira on Brazil, Elizabeth Ross Horan on Chile and Uruguay, Joan Friedman on Venezuela, and Ruth Behar, Ester Shapiro Rok, and Rosa Lowinger on Cuba.

As Marjorie Agosín notes, the role of memory for the writers included in this volume is a central theme. The majority of them are daughters of Sephardic or Ashkenazi immigrants, many of whom fled the Holocaust. They write openly about their identity and their hybrid condition as Jews in predominantly Catholic countries, an issue that has not, until recently, been addressed with candor.

A lively analysis of the major contribution of Jewish women writers in Latin America.

Book Description

In this book, Magali Roy-Féquière casts new light on the Generación del Treinta, a group of Creole intellectuals who situated themselves as the voice of a new cultural nationalism in Puerto Rico. Through a feminist lens, she focuses on the interlocking themes of nationalism, gender, class, and race in the articulation of early twentieth century Puerto Rican identity.

Roy-Féquière's discussion revolves around the affirmations and contradictions of the female intelligentsia, a cultural elite that sought to overcome American cultural hegemony by linking Puerto Rican identity to a white Spanish ethnic heritage, all the while negotiating their own precarious status within the male-dominated professional and intellectual spheres.

Book Description

Women have published a rich and varied selection of work in Cuba throughout the twentieth century. Their writings give us a crucial insight into the recent history of that country. In this book, Catherine Davies develops a sophisticated and theoretically informed feminist reading of works by authors such as Dulce María Loynaz and the poet Fina García Marruz who developed their styles in the pre-Revolutionary period and black and mulatto poets such as Nancy Morejón, Georgina Herrera and Excilia Saldaña from the post-1959 socialist era. The author reads these key texts in ways that show how women’s writing can open up areas that resist alignment into the "grand narratives"--of liberalism, Marxism--that have usually dominated interpretations of Cuban culture. This is a major theoretical intervention into debates around representation.
