In THE LAST TIGER IS SOMEWHERE, two poets from the West bring their work together and take apart the news. Recent history gets jigsawed. Current events get skewered. The result is thirty praise songs, fairy tales, guilty verdicts, and mathematical equations. There are prayers here, and new commandments. There are portraits and photographic negatives. And an introduction by Carney and an afterword by Poole form a frame around it all.Rob Carney ...

From the New York Times Bestselling author of What Doesn't Kill Us"Crazy good writing" -Wim Hof, "The Iceman"Thrive or die: That's the rule of evolution.

Unsere Vorfahren durchquerten Wüsten, Berge und Meere ohne eine Spur dessen, was wir als moderne Technologie bezeichnen. Diese Leistungen kommen uns in der heutigen Zeit nahezu unmöglich vor. Wir betrachten Komfort als selbstverständlich. Aber was, wenn wir diese verlorene evolutionäre Kraft zurückerlangen könnten, indem wir uns den gleichen Umweltbedingungen aussetzen wie unsere Vorfahren? Der investigative Journalist und Anthropologe Scott C...

Onze voorouders staken de Alpen over in dierenhuiden en koloniseerden de Nieuwe Wereld in lendendoeken, schijnbaar ongevoelig voor de elementen. Tegenwoordig lijken we de biologische link met de natuur verloren te zijn: we hebben een hekel aan kou, hebben te kampen met auto-immuunziekten, en velen van ons hebben chronisch overgewicht. Oerkracht neemt ons mee op een reis terug naar de tijd waarin onze overleving afhankelijk was van hoe goed ...

A method of dynamic substructuring is presented which utilizes a set of static Ritz vectors as a replacement for normal eigenvectors in component mode synthesis. This set of Ritz vectors is generated in a recurrence relationship, proposed by Wilson, which has the form of a block-Krylov subspace. The initial seed to the recurrence algorithm is based upon the boundary flexibility vectors of the component. Improvements have been made in the formu...
