Formality in a friendly letter subjects the other person to all the rigors of a snow storm". With those words, Joel Chandler Harris kindly admonished his six children on how to write to him while they were off at school, on prolonged visits, or working away from home. In turn, Harris kept his offspring informed about his works in progress, current events, household activities, and the latest gossip. He sternly advised his four boys - especiall...

Examines literary non-fiction in terms of autobiographical theory. The collected works of six journalists - John McPhee, Joe McGinniss, Tom Wolfe, Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson and Norman Mailer - are analysed from literary, autobiographical and cultural perspectives.

Schmitz's poetry is the art of accumulation, collecting objects and associations to weave into a rich fabric of small details and meditations on art, religion and family.

This volume presents the clinical, administrative and advocacy experience gained during the development of The Children's Centre in Salt Lake City. With day-treatment group therapy, young children with emotional problems are helped to eliminate difficulties affecting their early education.

This volume is the result of the clinical, administrative, and advocacy experience that Dr. Plenk gained during the growth and development of The Children's Center in Salt Lake City. Using the day-treatment group therapy model, young children with emotional problems have been helped to eliminate difficulties that affect their education at a very early age. As a community agency built on a shoestring budget, the state, federal and local levels ...

Louis Armstrong performed under the pseudonym Ted Shawne while Fats Waller took the name Flip Wallace. Recordings by Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club orchestra are to be found under 22 different pseudonyms. These are among the more than 3, 000 pseudonyms unearthed by Allan Sutton in his pioneering guide to pseudonyms used on American recordings between 1892 and 1942.Organized into sections dealing with vocal artists and instrumental groups, ...

In this first major English-language interpretation of charreria, Kathleen Mullen Sands describes the evolution of this equestrian tradition, highlighting the role of horsemen and women throughout Mexico's history. For those who believe cowboy culture and rodeo represent historic horsemanship in the United States, Charreria Mexicana reveals a festival of equal complexity and distinction.

The number field sieve is an algorithm for finding the prime factors of large integers. It depends on algebraic number theory. Proposed by John Pollard in 1988, the method was used in 1990 to factor the ninth Fermat number, a 155-digit integer. The algorithm is most suited to numbers of a special form, but there is a promising variant that applies in general. This volume contains six research papers that describe the operation of the number fi...

Graphs can be used to convey information about relationships in many applications. State transition diagrams, PERT/CPM charts, and entity-relationship diagrams are a few examples of many applications involving graphs. Typically, nodes in the graph represent items in the application and the edges represent the relationships among these items. A graph editor is an interactive tool that presents a graph to the user pictorially and allows t...

Geometry is a powerful tool to solve a great number of problems in robotics and computer vision. Impressive results have been obtained in these fields in the last decade. It is a new challenge to solve problems of the actual world which require the ability to reason about uncertainty and complex motion constraints by combining geometric, kinematic, and dynamic characteristics. A necessary step is to develop appropriate geometric reasoni...

Provides overview of ylide and imine chemistry of phosphorous. Contains over 3, 150 references. Focuses on their application, particularly in organic synthesis. Presents up-to-date understanding of structure, bonding and behavior of each type of ylide. Covers ylide preparations, handling and decomposition. Features theoretical descriptions of the bonding in ylides and the reactions of phosphorous ylides with transition metal compounds.

We have only begun to understand the experimental nature of software engineering, the role of empirical studies and measurement within software engineering, and the mechanisms needed to apply them successfully. This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop whose purpose was to gather those members of the software engineering community who support an engineering approach based upon empirical studies to provide an interchange of idea...

This volume gives a coherent presentation of the outcome of the project PROSPECTRA (PROgram development by SPECification and TRAnsformation) that aims to provide a rigorous methodology for developing correct software and a comprehensive support system. The results are substantial: a theoretically well-founded methodology covering the whole development cycle, a very high-level specification and transformation language family allowing met...

This volume contains the proceedings of the fourth European Software Engineering Conference. It contains 6 invited papers and 27 contributed papers selected from more than 135 submissions. The volume has a mixtureof themes. Some, such as software engineering and computer supported collaborative work, are forward-looking and anticipate future developments, others, such as systems engineering, are more concerned with reports of practica...

Computational geometry is the part of theoretical computer science that concerns itself with geometrical objects, it aims to define efficient algorithms for problems involving points, lines, polygons, and so on. The field has gained popularity very rapidly during the last decade. This is partly due to the many application areas of computational geometry and partly due to the beauty of the field itself. This monograph focuses on three pr...

This book contains papers first presented at the Second International Workshop on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL '92), held in Vienna, Austria, in August-September 1992. The growing importance of field-programmable devices, especially of field-programmable gate arrays, is demonstrated by the increased number of papers submitted in 1992. Of the 70 papers submitted, 23 were selected for this book. The first three papers ...

Logistik und CIM nehmen mit unterschiedlichem Schwerpunkt die proze~orientierte Gestaltung betrieblicher Abl{ufe f}r sich in Anspruch. Ziel des Buches ist es, das unkoordinierte Nebeneinander der beiden Konzepteaufzuheben und durch eine gleichzeitige und abgestimmte Betrachtung des Material- und Informationsflusses die wechselseitigen Beziehungen aufzuzeigen. Als Betrachtungsgegenstand der Logistik wird ausschlie~lich der Materialflu~ d...

This book is about the smooth classification of a certain class of algebraicsurfaces, namely regular elliptic surfaces of geometric genus one, i.e. elliptic surfaces with b1 = 0 and b2+ = 3. The authors give a complete classification of these surfaces up to diffeomorphism. They achieve this result by partially computing one of Donalson's polynomial invariants. The computation is carried out using techniques from algebraic geometry. In t...

This volume contains the text of four sets of lectures delivered at the third session of the Summer School organized by C.I.M.E. (Centro Internazionale Matematico Estivo). These texts are preceded by an introduction written by C. Cercignani and M. Pulvirenti which summarizes the present status in the area of Nonequilibrium Problems in Many-Particle Systems and tries to put the contents of the different sets of lectures in the right pers...
