First edition since 1865, this anthology brings together 80 of Sir John Everett Millais’s finest illustrations. Collected from his work for Trollope, Tennyson, Collins, and the weekly periodicals over most of his long working life, these prints range from visionary romance to comedy of manners. They are some of the finest black and white work of the Victorian era.Millais was the most precociously talented artist England has ever produced, and the Royal Academy’s youngest ever pupil. When just 19 he founded with six others the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which revolutionised English art. Although Millais soon abandoned the Pre-Raphaelite style, he remained the pre-eminent painter of his period. Not least amongst his achievements was a revival of serious black and white work. His drawings were widely published and led to the creation of a greatly respected English school of print-making. This book, collected by his publisher, shows the wide range of his work.

Published to coincide with the hundredth anniversary of his birth, the first major study of Malcolm X’s influence in the sixty years since his assassination, exploring his enduring impact on culture, politics, and civil rights.Malcolm X has become as much of an American icon as Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, or Martin Luther King. But when he was murdered in 1965, he was still seen as a dangerous outsider. White America found him alienating, mainstream African Americans found him divisive, and even his admirers found him bravely radical. Although Ossie Davis famously eulogized Malcolm X as “our own Black shining prince,” he never received the mainstream acceptance toward which he seemed to be striving in his final year. It is more in death than his life that Malcolm’s influence has blossomed and come to leave a deep imprint on the cultural landscape of America. With impeccable research and original reporting, Mark Whitaker tells the story of Malcolm X’s far-reaching posthumous legacy. It stretches from founders of the Black Power Movement such as Stokely Carmichael and Huey Newton to hip-hop pioneers such as Public Enemy and Tupac Shakur. Leaders of the Black Arts and Free Jazz movements from Amiri Baraka to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Malcolm X''s The Autobiography of Malcolm X was written in collaboration with Alex Haley, author of Roots, and includes an introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of The Black Atlantic, in Penguin Modern Classics.From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America''s black ghettos Malcolm X turned, in a dramatic prison conversion, to the puritanical fervour of the Black Muslims. As their spokesman he became identified in the white press as a terrifying teacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American blacks, he brought hope and self-respect. This autobiography (written with Alex Haley) reveals his quick-witted integrity, usually obscured by batteries of frenzied headlines, and the fierce idealism which led him to reject both liberal hypocrisies and black racialism.Vilified by his critics as an anti-white demagogue, Malcolm X gave a voice to unheard African-Americans, bringing them pride, hope and fearlessness, and remains an inspirational and controversial figure.Malcolm X (1925-65), born Malcolm Little in Omaha, and also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, lost both his parents at a young age. Leaving school early, he soon became part of Harlem''s underworld, and in 1946 he was sentenced to ten years'' imprisonment. It was in prison that Malcolm X converted ...

For decades, Janet Malcolm's books and dispatches for the New Yorker have poked and prodded at biographical convention, gesturing towards the artifice that underpins both public and private selves. Here, Malcolm turns her gimlet eye on her own life, examining twelve family photographs to construct a memoir from camera-caught moments, each of which pose questions of their own. She begins with the picture of a morose young girl on a train, leaving Prague at the age of five in 1939. From there we follow her to the Czech enclave of Yorkville in Manhattan, where her father, a psychiatrist and neurologist, and her mother, an attorney from a bourgeois family, traded their bohemian, Dada-inflected lives for the ambitions of middle-class America. From her early, fitful loves to evenings at the old Metropolitan Opera House to her fascination with what it might mean to be a "bad girl," Malcolm assembles a composite portrait of a New York childhood, one that never escaped the tug of Europe and the mysteries of fate and family. Later, Malcolm delves into her marriage to Gardner Botsford, the world of William Shawn's New Yorker, and the libel trial that led her to become a character in her ...

A trans pastor’s fascination with the Scripture inherited from his closeted, fundamentalist father. When his dad died, Malcolm Himschoot inherited his father’s Bibles. He chose to re-read them, examining his dad’s notes in the margins, teasing out the details of his upbringing and gender identity amid the structures and forms of biblical narratives. For Malcolm, coming out meant exile and verbal excommunication; he embodied all his gay father tried to hide. In Reading Secrets, he travels alongside the ghost of his father, exploring their inherited homophobia and the American culture that shaped their triumphs and tragedies. With these poetic and evocative meditations, Malcolm transforms the Scripture he inherited, and finds a place in it for himself.

Understanding the Failure of Materials and Structures introduces practical aspects of mechanical characterisation of materials and structures. It gives those with little or no prior experience insight into the process of developing everyday products, issues behind some high-profile failures, and tools to begin planning a programme of research.Written in an easily accessible manner, the work discusses fundamentals of the physical world, highlighting the range of materials used and varied applications, and offers a brief history of materials development. It covers the role of materials structure in controlling materials properties and describes mechanical properties, such as stress, strain, stiffness, fracture, and fatigue. The book also features information on various modes of testing and strain measurement. It provides some discussion on topics that go beyond well-behaved test coupons, with thoughts on biomechanics, megastructures, and testing for applications in extreme environments. Finally, it covers how materials fail and the future of physical testing.With minimal theory and mathematics, this work presents the fundamentals of mechanical characterisation of materials and structures in a manner accessible to the novice materials investigator and the layperson interested in the science behind materials engineered for use in common and advanced products.

The derivation of structural information from spectroscopic data is now an integral part of organic chemistry courses at all Universities. A critical part of any such course is a suitable set of problems to develop the students’ understanding of how organic structures are determined from spectra. The book builds on the very successful teaching philosophy of learning by hands-on problem solving; carefully graded examples build confidence and develop and consolidate a student’s understanding of organic spectroscopy. Organic Structures from Spectra, 6th Edition is a carefully chosen set of about 250 structural problems employing the major modern spectroscopic techniques, including Mass Spectrometry, 1D and 2D 13C and 1H NMR Spectroscopy and Infrared Spectroscopy. There are 25 problems specifically dealing with the interpretation of spin–spin coupling in proton NMR spectra and 10 problems based on the quantitative analysis of mixtures using proton and carbon NMR spectroscopy. The accompanying text is descriptive and only explains the underlying theory at a level that is sufficient to tackle the problems. The text includes condensed tables of characteristic spectral properties covering the frequently encountered functional groups. The examples themselves have been selected to include all important structural features and to emphasise connectivity arguments and stereochemistry. Many ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Daily Sentence Structures approach raises attainment across all abilities and covers many of the writing requirements of the National Curriculum:Use grammatical structuresMake meaning clear and create effectUse a range of sentence starters to create specific effectsUse commas to mark phrases and clausesSustain and develop ideas logicallyVary sentence structuresUse semi-colons and dashesFurthermore, the systematic approach appeals especially to boys, who will enjoy applying the logic to their writing and being able to create ''instant paragraphs''. All pupils'' confidence and self-esteem will increase, leading to better results across all subjects.The sentence structures taught vary from short, dramatic sentences to complex, compound sentences. Compound sentences using coordinating conjunctions are included as well as subordinating complex sentences using subordinating conjunctions. Each has been broken down into a series of 15-minute sessions that build on each other. By completing the daily sessions, pupils will have at their fingertips a system for creating imaginative and interesting writing in as little as six weeks.

Koncom osemdesiatych a začiatkom deväťdesiatych rokov 20. storočia sa vo Formule 1 odohrával strhujúci súboj. Stáli proti sebe dvaja veľkí šampióni – Alain Prost a Ayrton Senna. Prost bol inteligentný, uhladený jazdec s prezývkou Profesor, temperamentný Brazílčan Senna húževnatý a bezohľadný pretekár. Senna nechcel Prosta iba zdolať. Chcel ho zničiť. Príbeh ich vzťahu mal však nečakaný záver. A rovnako nečakaná bola aj dráma na Veľkej cene San Marína v máji 1994, keď Ayrton Senna prišiel o život.Kniha vykresľuje rivalitu legendárnych pretekárov na základe spomienok mnohých ľudí zo zákulisia Formuly 1 a tiež exkluzívneho rozprávania samotného Alaina Prosta. Ponúka pútavý opis osobného súboja pretekárov a zasvätený pohľad do prostredia F1 počas ich kariéry. V tomto období zažívala F1 svoje najvýbušnejšie obdobie. Charakterizovali ho napínavé preteky, charizmatickí jazdci a strhujúce súboje o titul. Autor knihy Malcolm Folley bol ako športový žurnalista priamo v centre diania.
