Download or read book The First Look written by Amelia Davis and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Grappling head-on with America's ""hidden killer,"" The First Look presents direct statements from breast cancer survivors together with photographs of their postsurgery bodies. This powerful volume counters the fear of the unknown by providing concrete information on what breast cancer survival looks and feels like.Amelia Davis's bold photographs equip those facing surgery with real information on what to expect, on reconstructive options, and on lymphedema, a frequent result of mastectomy. This essential book also provides companions-in-arms for newcomers to the battle against cancer. Behind each photograph, behind each story is a woman who triumphed. Their ""battle wounds"" serve as reminders of the resilience of the female spirit and as symbols of survival, perseverance, and strength.A diverse portrait of renewal, regeneration, and most of all reality, The First Look presents mothers, grandmothers, wives, and daughters ranging in age from twenty-five to seventy-six. Some have undergone reconstructive surgery or been fitted with prostheses; some have not. All have struggled with cancer's wide-ranging impact on their bodies, their relationships, and their daily lives.""Posing for this book . . . is sort of like 'coming out,'"" a twenty-eight-year-old subject of this book reports. By taking a stand to make breast cancer visible rather than hidden, The First Look affirms the human body as an art form, not only as it was created, but also as it is reshaped in the course of a life.

Download or read book First Look At Rigorous Probability Theory A 2nd Edition written by Jeffrey S Rosenthal and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is an introduction to probability theory using measure theory. It is designed for graduate students in a variety of fields (mathematics, statistics, economics, management, finance, computer science, and engineering) who require a working knowledge of probability theory that is mathematically precise, but without excessive technicalities. The text provides complete proofs of all the essential introductory results. Nevertheless, the treatment is focused and accessible, with the measure theory and mathematical details presented in terms of intuitive probabilistic concepts, rather than as separate, imposing subjects. In this new edition, many exercises and small additional topics have been added and existing ones expanded. The text strikes an appropriate balance, rigorously developing probability theory while avoiding unnecessary detail.
Download or read book Anthropologists in America Take a First Look at Africa written by Simon Ottenberg and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author, as an adolescent, wanted to be a polar explorer. He did not seem to care whether he went to the North or the South Pole. But at Northwestern University, he became interested in its African program, one of two major programs in anthropology there. The other was on African cultures in the Caribbean and South America. So as a graduate student, he did a study of African cultural survival in a community along the coast of Georgia. However, he was more interested in Africa at a time when Americans realized, after World War II, how little they knew about it. Government and foundation funds became available, and Ottenberg took advantage of it for his first African research in 1952-1953 on a year's grant for work in Nigeria. That began a long career there, where his interests varied over the years--from children and adult masking to family life to art and other subjects. He found African culture to be anything but simple; rather it is very complex. Each aspect has links to others; it's a web of behaviors to be traced in which language played key roles while Western cultural influences were changing African cultures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Version 2.0 of the .NET Framework will offer powerful enhancements to ADO.NET that will give application and service developers unprecedented control over their data. In A First Look at ADO.NET and System.Xml v. 2.0, Microsoft's lead program manager on XML technologies joins with two leading .NET and XML experts to present a comprehensive preview of tomorrow's ADO.NET and System.Xml classes. Drawing on the first .NET Framework 2.0 Technology Preview Release, the authors introduce powerful new techniques for simplifying development, enhancing flexibility, and leveraging .NET's new support for emerging XML standards. They also preview important new synergies between .NET Framework 2.0, XML, and the next version of SQL Server (code-named Yukon). This book's detailed coverage includes: Clear explanations of Microsoft's data-access intentions and directions--so you'll be ready when .NET 2.0 arrives A brief overview of ObjectSpaces--the exciting new technology for using objects that represent and hold their own dataMajor improvements in bulk loading, batch execution, and paging Support for truly asynchronous connection and command operationsIn-process server-side cursors for programmat
Download or read book A First Look at Perturbation Theory written by James G. Simmonds and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undergraduates in engineering and the physical sciences receive a thorough introduction to perturbation theory in this useful and accessible text. Students discover methods for obtaining an approximate solution of a mathematical problem by exploiting the presence of a small, dimensionless parameter — the smaller the parameter, the more accurate the approximate solution. Knowledge of perturbation theory offers a twofold benefit: approximate solutions often reveal the exact solution's essential dependence on specified parameters; also, some problems resistant to numerical solutions may yield to perturbation methods. In fact, numerical and perturbation methods can be combined in a complementary way. The text opens with a well-defined treatment of finding the roots of polynomials whose coefficients contain a small parameter. Proceeding to differential equations, the authors explain many techniques for handling perturbations that reorder the equations or involve an unbounded independent variable. Two disparate practical problems that can be solved efficiently with perturbation methods conclude the volume. Written in an informal style that moves from specific examples to general principles, this elementary text emphasizes the "why" along with the "how"; prerequisites include a knowledge of one-variable calculus and ordinary differential equations. This newly revised second edition features an additional appendix concerning the approximate evaluation of integrals.

This book was released on 2010-12-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional analysis arose from traditional topics of calculus and integral and differential equations. This accessible text by an internationally renowned teacher and author starts with problems in numerical analysis and shows how they lead naturally to the concepts of functional analysis. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this book provides coherent explanations for complex concepts. Topics include Banach and Hilbert spaces, contraction mappings and other criteria for convergence, differentiation and integration in Banach spaces, the Kantorovich test for convergence of an iteration, and Rall's ideas of polynomial and quadratic operators. Numerous examples appear throughout the text.
