Book excerpt: Pevnost v Mrazu Píše se poslední rok 18. století, ale svět, který by poznal jen málokdo. Obyvatelé Evropy se ukrývají na malých ostrůvcích bezpečí, útočištích před začarovanou divočinou - podivnými bezbřehými lesy, kterým lidé říkají Tumble. Právě touto démony pronásledovanou krajinou musí vést své muže důstojník Taliesin, který se zapletl do nejsmrtelnějších intrik a zároveň bojuje ve válkách za šlechtickou vrstvu, která jím pohrdá. Když za ním pochodují krutí vrazi z nejhorších spodin říše a proti němu se staví síly nejmocnějších národů pevniny, je Taliesinovi přáno. Těžce. Přesto bude bojovat dál, bojovat s armádami, čaroději, zabijáky, bestiemi a překročit tvář samotného pekla. Ne kvůli loajalitě nebo nelibé úctě ke svému intrikánskému panovníkovi - dokonce ani ne kvůli malé hoře stříbra, kterou mu ostrovní královna slíbila, pokud uspěje. Ale proto, že boj je to jediné, co on a jeho stlačená banda hrdlořezů a zlodějů kdy znali. *** Druhá kniha duologie Trojí říše. 1. Za Korunu a Draka. 2. Pevnost v Mrazu. *** O AUTOROVI Stephen Hunt je tvůrcem velmi oblíbené fantasy série "Dalekozvaný" (Gollancz/Hachette) a také série "Jackelian", která vychází po celém světě prostřednictvím nakladatelství HarperCollins spolu s dalšími jejich autory fantasy: Georgem R.

Download or read book Kubla Khan written by Samuel Coleridge and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though left uncompleted, “Kubla Khan” is one of the most famous examples of Romantic era poetry. In it, Samuel Coleridge provides a stunning and detailed example of the power of the poet’s imagination through his whimsical description of Xanadu, the capital city of Kublai Khan’s empire. Samuel Coleridge penned “Kubla Khan” after waking up from an opium-induced dream in which he experienced and imagined the realities of the great Mongol ruler’s capital city. Coleridge began writing what he remembered of his dream immediately upon waking from it, and intended to write two to three hundred lines. However, Coleridge was interrupted soon after and, his memory of the dream dimming, was ultimately unable to complete the poem.

Download or read book Polymer Microscopy written by Linda Sawyer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-24 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensively updated and revised Third Edition is a comprehensive and practical guide to the study of the microstructure of polymers. It is the result of the authors' many years of academic and industrial experience. Introductory chapters deal with the basic concepts of both polymer morphology and processing and microscopy and imaging theory. The core of the book is more applied, with many examples of specimen preparation and image interpretation leading to materials characterization. Emerging techniques such as compositional mapping in which microscopy is combined with spectroscopy are considered. The book closes with a problem solving guide.

Download or read book Opening Bazin written by Dudley Andrew and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: André Bazin remains one of the most read, most studied, and most engaging figures ever to have written about film. Fifty years after his death, he is still widely recognized as cinema's most significant philosopher-critic. Always an important presence within cinema theory, Bazin has seen a massive resurgence of interest among critics, scholars, and students now that an electronic archive of his entire critical output has been catalogued. Opening Bazin assesses the great critic's influence and legacy, with essays from several generations of the very best film scholars: Gunning, Frodon, Margulies, Conley, MacCabe, Narboni, and Vernet, to name just a few. Ultimately, these essays reaffirm Bazin's relevance in this new century, tracing his lineage, debating his aesthetics, locating him in the rich cultural moment of postwar France, and tracking the effect of his thought around the world.

Download or read book Art in Detail written by Susie Hodge and published by . This book was released on 2021-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great paintings cannot be fully understood in a single encounter; there is always more to be derived from them. Art lovers may revisit and reconsider the masterpieces throughout their lives, but a deeper understanding can only be gained by analysing the painting in detail, be it the placement of the subject, the lighting, the style of brushstrokes or the themes. Art in Detail examines 100 iconic paintings from the Western canon and spotlights the finer points a quick glance will almost certainly fail to reveal. These include subtle internal details, such as hidden symbols and artistic tricks employed by the painter to achieve particular effects. In addition, Susie Hodge writes intelligently about external influences on the artist - everything from the socioeconomic context in which he or she flourished, to smaller local difficulties, such as the level of air pollution at the time the painting was created. And she treats each of her subjects not only, to quote Matthew Arnold, 'as in itself it really is', but also as part of a tradition that links the oldest painting to the most recent, as artists pass a metaphorical baton down through the ages.

Download or read book Polymer Clay Nanocomposites written by T. J. Pinnavaia and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2001-01-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer-clay nanocomposites are formed through the union of two very different materials with organic and mineral pedigrees. The hybrid compositions, however, exhibit large increases in tensile strength, modulus, and heat distortion temperature as compared with the pristine polymer. The composites also have lower water sensitivity, reduced permeability to gases, and a similar thermal coefficient of expansion. All of these property improvements can be realized without a loss of clarity in the polymer. Further, it has been found that nanocomposites impart a level of flame retardance and UV resistance not present in the pure polymer. These improvements in performance properties at relatively low clay loading (typically 2 -10wt %) have stimulated intensive research in both industry and academia over the past decade. Polymer-Clay Nanocomposites presents the first comprehensive overview of the state of the art of these materials since they were first reported a decade ago. Covering both the theory and practical applications, this volume in the 'Wiley Series in Polymer Science' covers the key aspects of these important materials including: * Polymer-clay intercalates * The preparation and general properties of special practical and commercial significance (including strength, stiffness, toughness, permeability, fire retardation and chemical stability) * The elucidation of the structural and rheological factors influencing performance and processing properties Polymer-Clay Nanocomposites is an indispensable text for polymer scientists, composites formulators, materials engineers, resin producers, filters and additive producers as well as university lecturers, and organic and inorganic chemists working in this important and fascinating area.
