Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von / Constantine, David / Byatt, A. S., PUBLISHER: Penguin Books, Goethe viewed the writing of poetry as essentially autobiographical, and the works selected in this volume represent more than sixty years in the life of the poet. In early poems such as aPrometheus, a he rails against religion in an almost ecstatic fervor, while aTo the Moona is an enigmatic meditation on the end of a love affair. The "Roman Elegies" show Goetheas use of Classical meters in an homage to ancient Rome and its poets, and aThe Diary, a suppressed for more than a century, is a narrative poem whose eroticism is combined with its morality. In selections from "Faust," arguably his greatest and most personal work, Goethe creates an exhilarating depiction of humankindas eternal search for truth. aFaithful and felicitous, these verse translations... are an excellent introduction to Goetheas] genius.a a"The Daily Telegraph" (London)

Geometric Curve Evolution and Image Processing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Emmerich, Heike J. / Cao, Frederic / Cao, Frdric, PUBLISHER: Springer, In image processing, "motions by curvature" provide an efficient way to smooth curves representing the boundaries of objects. In such a motion, each point of the curve moves, at any instant, with a normal velocity equal to a function of the curvature at this point. This book is a rigorous and self-contained exposition of the techniques of "motion by curvature." The approach is axiomatic and formulated in terms of geometric invariance with respect to the position of the observer. This is translated into mathematical terms, and the author develops the approach of Olver, Sapiro and Tannenbaum, which classifies all curve evolution equations. He then draws a complete parallel with another axiomatic approach using level-set methods: this leads to generalized curvature motions. Finally, novel, and very accurate, numerical schemes are proposed allowing one to compute the solution of highly degenerate evolution equations in a completely invariant way. The convergence of this scheme is also proved.

Jack Teagarden: The Story of a Jazz Maverick

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Jay / Guttridge, Len / Williams, Martin, PUBLISHER: Da Capo Press, The emergence of Jack Teagarden as an important jazz stylist was a significant feature of the '20s jazz scene. He brought a maturity to the sound of the trombone and until late in his life played with a laconic grace that few, if any, on his instrument have equaled. His collaboration with Louis Armstrong--who rated their musical relationship higher than any he had known--was one of the great partnerships in jazz history. The story of this funny, happy Texan is told with affection and detail in this, the only biography of Jack Teagarden."Obviously a man like Teagarden, with his mastery of his instrument, might have stepped into almost any kind of music and made a career for himself. But one thing this book makes clear is that Jack could not have been any kind of musician except a jazz musician. A jazz musician simply has to make his music and dedicate his life to it, even though he may not tell you (or himself) why he has to. He may not, indeed, even be able to say why, or need to say why. The need is to make music and, necessarily, lead the life that makes that possible. All of which has little or nothing to do with ego or acclaim or money. He needs to give his music to the world and he hopes the world will understand.You will find out about that need in these pages. You will also find plenty of the pranks and boys-will-be-boys anecdotes that seem so prevalent, diverting, and (under the surface) necessary a part of the musical life."--Martin Williams, from his new preface.

Prevention in General Practice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fowler, Godfrey / Gray, J. A. / Anderson, Peter, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Spectacular advances in therapeutic medicine have not diminished the need for prevention, and there is widespread acknowledgment that avoidance of disability and premature death often depends on prevention rather than cure. There is also recognition that family practice has a key role to play in this, because of the opportunities it provides for influencing the future well-being of large numbers of individuals. Since the first edition of this book was published, the scope for prevention has become more clearly defined, and the evidence for effectiveness better established. The second edition has therefore been completely rewritten. It assesses the evidence for prevention effectiveness in relation to the major causes of disability and premature death, describes what measures should be taken, and gives practical guidance on carrying them out. Although aimed primarily at family practitioners, this book will also be of value to medical students, public health professionals and policy makers.
