Download or read book Finding Love in an Upside Down World written by Patricia E. Flinn and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding Love in an Upside-Down World is a memoir about the wacky, spontaneous, and humorous adventures of a bright, sassy, spirited girl living with her unconventional, loving family in a small gritty tenement in Hoboken, New Jersey during the 1950s and 60s. A motley cast of zany characters including family members, teachers, neighbors and friends appear and disappear along the way as she travels through grammar, high school and college where she eventually meets, falls in love with her brilliant literature professor, and begins a whirlwind, unforgettable romance. They marry a year later in 1971, and buy an old farm house a short distance away from a theater owned by a colorful community of eccentric actors. The marriage lasts for forty-seven amazing, magical years until death separates them in 2016. Drawing parallels between the unpredictable nature of human existence and the subatomic world of Quantum Mechanics the memoir ends by satirizing how the best intentions of life often go awry. Or as John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens to you, when you’re busy making other plans.” Finding Love in an Upside Down Universe may make you think as well as laugh.
Download or read book This Is Not a Valentine written by Carter Higgins and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this picture book, a girl’s gift of a Valentine to a boy prompts a tale with an enduring message of friendship. This book is not a valentine. It doesn’t have lacey edges or sugary hearts. But it is full of lucky rocks, secret hiding spots, and gumball machine treasures. This is a book about waiting in line and wishing for cinnamon buns. About recognizing that if you care so much about someone not thinking you care, maybe you really do. But wait—isn’t that exactly what love is about? Maybe this book is sort of a valentine after all. A testament to handmade, wacky, bashful, honest love—sure to win over the hearts of all readers—this offering from debut picture book author Carter Higgins and children’s book veteran Lucy Ruth Cummins is the perfect gift to celebrate every relationship, from parent to child, sibling to sibling, partner to partner, crush to crush. Praise for This Is Not a Valentine “A perfect book for kids who find the whole Valentine's Day holiday icky and overrated.” —Book Riot “A beautiful celebration of love and how different that may look to others celebrating Valentine's Day.” —ReaderTotz “[Cummins’s] cartoon cast is a diverse one, and refreshingly, this is more about deep friendship than romantic love; her kids are definitely just that: kids. . . . A sort of anti-valentine for those who want to show the ones they love they care without being all mushy (or spending any money).” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Coleridge and the Geometric Idiom written by Ann C. Colley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-16 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Coleridge described the landscapes he passed through while scrambling among the fells, mountains, and valleys of Britain, he did something unprecedented in Romantic writing: to capture what emerged before his eyes, he enlisted a geometric idiom. Immersed in a culture still beholden to Euclid's Elements and schooled by those who subscribed to its principles, he valued geometry both for its pragmatic function and for its role as a conduit to abstract thought. Indeed, his geometric training would often structure his observations on religion, aesthetics, politics, and philosophy. For Coleridge, however, this perspective never competed with his sensitivity to the organic nature of his surroundings but, rather, intermingled with it. Situating Coleridge's remarkable ways of seeing within the history and teaching of mathematics and alongside the eighteenth century's budding interest in non-Euclidean geometry, Ann Colley illuminates the richness of the culture of walking and the surprising potential of landscape writing.
Download or read book Giant Molecules written by A. I?U. Grosberg and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?? Giant molecules are important in our everyday life. But, as pointed out by the authors, they are also associated with a culture. What Bach did with the harpsichord, Kuhn and Flory did with polymers. We owe a lot of thanks to those who now make this music accessible ??Pierre-Gilles de GennesNobel Prize laureate in Physics(Foreword for the 1st Edition, March 1996)This book describes the basic facts, concepts and ideas of polymer physics in simple, yet scientifically accurate, terms. In both scientific and historic contexts, the book shows how the subject of polymers is fascinating, as it is behind most of the wonders of living cell machinery as well as most of the newly developed materials. No mathematics is used in the book beyond modest high school algebra and a bit of freshman calculus, yet very sophisticated concepts are introduced and explained, ranging from scaling and reptations to protein folding and evolution. The new edition includes an extended section on polymer preparation methods, discusses knots formed by molecular filaments, and presents new and updated materials on such contemporary topics as single molecule experiments with DNA or polymer properties of proteins and their roles in biological evolution.
