Pan Macmillan The Mimic Men
With a preface by the author.V. S. Naipaul's The Mimic Men is a profound, moving and often humorous novel that evokes a colonial man’s experience in the post-colonial world. Born of Indian heritage, raised in the British-dependent Caribbean island of Isabella, and educated in England, forty-year-old Ralph Singh has spent a lifetime struggling against the torment of cultural displacement. Now in exile from his native country, he has taken up residence at a quaint hotel in a London suburb, where he is writing his memoirs in an attempt to impose order on a chaotic existence. His memories lead him to recognize the cultural paradoxes and tainted fantasies of his colonial childhood and later life: his attempts to fit in at school, his short-lived marriage to an ostentatious white woman. But it is the return to Isabella and his subsequent immersion in the roiling political atmosphere of a newly self-governing nation – every kind of racial fantasy taking wing – that ultimately provide Singh with the necessary insight to discover the crux of his disillusionment.‘A Tolstoyan spirit . . .

Pan Macmillan The Nightwatchman's Occurrence Book: and Other Comic Inventions
With a preface by the author. V. S. Naipaul’s legendary command of broad comedy and acute social observation is on abundant display in these classic works of fiction – two novels and a collection of stories – that capture the rhythms of life in the Caribbean and England with impressive subtlety and humour. The Suffrage of Elvira is Naipaul’s hilarious take on an electoral campaign in the back country of Trinidad, where the candidates’ tactics include blatant vote-buying and supernatural sabotage. The eponymous protagonist of Mr Stone and the Knights Companion is an ageing Englishman of ponderously regular habits whose life is thrown into upheaval by a sudden marriage and an unanticipated professional advancement. And the stories in A Flag on the Island take us from a Chinese bakery in Trinidad – whose black proprietor faces bankruptcy until he takes a Chinese name – to a rooming house in London, where the genteel landlady plays a nasty Darwinian game with her budgerigars. Unfailingly stylish, filled with intelligence and feeling, The Nightwatchman's Occurrence Book is the work of a writer who can do just about anything that can be done with language. ‘V. S. Naipaul has a substantial claim as a comic writer . . . This humour, conducted throughout with the utmost stylistic quietude, is completely original’ Kingsley Amis, Spectator

The University of Chicago Press Systems with Small Dissipation
Electromagnetic and mechanical oscillators are crucial in such diverse fields as electrical engineering, microwave technology, optical technology, and experimental physics. For example, such oscillators are the key elements in instruments for detecting extremely weak mechanical forces and electromagnetic signals are essential to highly stable standards of time and frequency. The central problem in developing such instruments is to construct oscillators that are as perfectly simple harmonic as possible; the largest obstacle is the oscillator's dissipation and the fluctuating forces associated with it. This book, first published in Russian in 1981 and updated with new data for this English edition, is a treatise on the sources of dissipation and other defects in mechanical and electromagnetic oscillators and on practical techniques for minimizing such defects. Written by a team of researchers from Moscow State University who are leading experts in the field, the book is a virtual encyclopedia of theoretical formulas, experimental techniques, and practical lore derived from twenty-five years of experience. Intended for the experimenter who wishes to construct near-perfect instrumentation, the book provides information on everything from the role of phonon-phonon scattering as a fundamental source of dissipation to the effectiveness of a thin film of pork fat in reducing the friction between a support wire and a mechanically oscillating sapphire crystal. The researchers that V. B. Braginsky has led since the mid-1960s are best known in the West for their contributions to the technology of gravitational-wave detection, their experimental search for quarks, their test of the equivalency principle, and their invention of new experimental techniques for high-precision measurement, including "quantum nondemolition movements." Here, for the first time, they provide a thorough overview of the practical knowledge and experimental methods that have earned them a worldwide reputation for ingenuity, talent, and successful technique.

Arc Publications Lost Evenings, Lost Lives: Tamil Poets from Sri Lanka's War
In May 2009, the Sri Lankan government officially announced the end of a civil war that had been ravaging the island for almost three decades. During all these years, Tamil poets have commented on the war and its vicissitudes in what constitutes an extraordinary body of poetry. We find poems on violence and trauma, loss and exile, as well as courage and hope. Together these poems can be read as an alternative history of the war. This collection of up to 50 poems translated from the original Tamil, comes with an afterword that will provide readers with the historical and political context of Sri Lanka's war, while also mapping literary developments during that period. Among the poets included are internationally acclaimed poets, such as Cheran, V. I. S. Jeyapalan, M. A. Nuhman, and S. Sivasegaram, less well-known voices, such as Balasooriyan, S. Vilvaratnam, or Solaikili, as well as a significant number of women poets, such as Sivaramani, Urvasi, Avvai, and others. Both Lakshmi Holmstrom and Sascha Ebeling have previously published translations of these poets, which we plan to include in addition to a number of new translations made specifically for this volume.

Peeters Publishers L'expression adjective et adverbiale de la totalité
Le présent ouvrage est consacré à l'expression de la totalité en français, notion abordée ici par le biais des adjectifs ainsi que des adverbes et locutions adverbiales. Grâce à une étude systématique des différences sémantiques entre quasi-synonymes, différents modes de construction de la totalité sont mis au jour. Ainsi, complet et complètement ne construisent-ils pas la totalité de la même façon que entier et entièrement, total et totalement ou intégral et intégralement. De là, des différences d'emploi régulièrement attestées (une boîte de crayons complète / ?intégrale; un chapitre entier / ?total; perdre complètement / ?intégralement espoir). La totalité peut aussi bien concerner des entités désignées par des noms que des procès exprimés par des expressions verbales. Dans le premier cas, la construction de la totalité dépend du caractère massif, collectif, ... du nom; dans le second cas, c'est l'(a)télicité et la ponctualité du procès qui se révèlent déterminants. L'expression de la totalité est également étudiée au niveau énonciatif; elle est alors marquée par des locutions adverbiales construites sur la base tout(N) + participe passé (tout compte fait, tout bien considéré, ...), lesquelles jouent un rôle déterminant dans la structuration du discours et du texte. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux, chercheurs et étudiants, que les notions de totalité, quantification et intensité mais aussi, et plus généralement, les fonctionnements des adjectifs et des adverbes intéressent.

Peeters Publishers Archéologie, patrimoine et archives: Les fouilles anciennes à Ras Shamra et à Minet el-Beida I
Le volume Ras Shamra - Ougarit XXV est le premier livre d'une série intitulée Archéologie, patrimoine, archives, initiée par Valérie Matoïan, dont l'objectif est de rassembler des études portant plus spécifiquement sur l'exploitation scientifique des archives des fouilles anciennes de la Mission archéologique de Ras Shamra. L'ouvrage comporte vingt-deux articles auxquels ont contribué quinze membres de la mission, rejoints par deux collaborateurs extérieurs. Ces recherches sont fondées sur l'édition d'une riche documentation pour une grande part inédite. Les documents d'archives analysés sont de nature variée: notes de fouille, cahiers d'inventaires, plans, dessins, photographies, moulages d'objets et de tablettes... Les fouilles conduites sous la direction de Claude Schaeffer sont de loin les mieux représentées et nombre de documents font partie du «Fonds C. Schaeffer» du Service des archives du Collège de France. Toutefois, les fonds documentaires de la mission, du musée du Louvre et des Archives nationales, de même que des collections privées sont aussi mis à contribution. L'éventail des thématiques traitées est large. Plusieurs études abordent l'histoire des recherches à Ras Shamra et à Minet el-Beida, avec des éclairages plus spécifiques sur les premières campagnes, sur des collaborateurs de C. Schaeffer, archéologues ou architectes, voire encore sur la gestion et la préservation du patrimoine, venant ainsi nourrir une réflexion épistémologique. D'autres articles, rédigés par des spécialistes de plusieurs desciplines (archéologues, historiens, épigraphistes, archéozoologues), analysent des témoins de la civilisation ougaritique, productions locales ou importations datant en majorité de la période du Bronze récent. Ils livrent une documentation neuve sur des objets inédits (sceaux-cylindres, scarabées, rhytons, figurines-plaquettes, «appliques murales», baignoires...), apportent des données permettant une meilleure contextualisation des ÷uvres, ou des précisions sur l'état de conservation d'objets au moment de leur découverte ou après leur nettoyage, révélant parfois un élément de leur décor, voire même une nouvelle inscription. Une dernière contribution présente les résultats d'un programme en cours d'analyse diachronique des paysages (XIXe-XXIe siècles) fondé notamment sur la documentation photographique ancienne, entrepris par les géographes de la mission selon une approche novatrice pour cette région du Levant. Enfin, les trois premiers dossiers d'un programme de cartographie numérique thématique à l'échelle de la région, initié en 2016, viennent de clore ce volume. Celui-ci correspond au volet scientifique de l'opération de valorisation - intitulée «Ougarit, entre Orient et Occident. La mission d'Ougarit et son héritage» - qui s'est tenue au Collège de France, en septembre 2016, et au Ministère des Affaires étrangères et du Développement international, en novembre 2016.

Peeters Publishers Gods Gouden Thesaurus: Het Middelnederlandse Handschrift ONB, 2372 in De Alchemistische Traditie
Het Middelnederlandse handschrift Wenen, ONB, 3272 (14de eeuw) is het oudste ons overgeleverde alchemistische document dat in een Germaanse volkstaal is gesteld. Het bevat vertalingen in een Oost-Vlaams idioom van zeven teksten waarin de principes van de alchemistische transformatie centraal staan. Alchemie wordt daarin beschouwd als een kunst, voorbehouden aan de verlichte filosoof, waarmee vergankelijke substanties onvergankelijk kunnen worden gemaakt. De alchemist poogt dus de grenzen van de schepping op te heffen en de door vergankelijkheid getekende staat van mens en natuur te verheffen tot een eeuwigdurende staat van perfectie en geluk. Gods gouden thesaurus biedt een editie en studie van drie teksten uit dit unieke handschrift. Twee daarvan, het door gnostische spiritualiteit gemarkeerde Liber Alphidii en de korte bloemlezing Eximus, gaan rechtstreeks terug op de vroegste Grieks-Arabische traditie. De derde tekst, Liber sectorum alchimie van Constantinus Pisanus, illustreert ongewild de kloof tussen de dertiende-eeuwse scholastiek en de natuurfilosofische en gnostische aspecten van het Grieks-Arabische alchemistische paradigma anderzijds. Het in deze laatste tekst geincorporeerde commentaar van een Middelnederlandse auteur die zich "kluizenaar in dienst van Vrouwe Alchemie" noemt, gunt ons door een kier een blik op de overtuigingen ter zake van een veertiende-eeuwse landgenoot. Veerle Fraeters ( 1963) is momenteel als postdoctoraal onderzoeker bij het Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek verbonden aan het Ruusbroecgenootschap van de Universiteit Antwerpen - UFSIA.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Titos Partisans 194145
The civil war that raged in Yugoslavia following the German invasion in 1941 was brutal, uncompromising and complex, pitting royalists, fascists communists, ethnic groups, and the Axis powers against one another in a shifting and bloody theatre of war. The Partisan forces under the command of Josip Broz Tito were a constant thorn in the side of the Wehrmacht divisions in the Balkans, prompting numerous anti-partisan operations. Using primary source material, stunning contemporary images and personal accounts, this book explores a well-known but little published subject for the first time, bringing to light the development, training, weaponry, tactics and combat experiences of Tito''s formidable guerrilla force, and the events of this bloody theatre of World War II (1939-1945).

Princeton University Press From Perturbative to Constructive Renormalization
The last decade has seen striking progress in the subject of renormalization in quantum field theory. The old subject of perturbative renormalization has been revived by the use of powerful methods such as multiscale decompositions; precise estimates have been added to the initial theorems on finiteness of renormalized perturbation theory, with new results on its large order asymptotics. Furthermore, constructive field theory has reached one of its major goals, the mathematically rigorous construction of some renormalizable quantum field theories. For these models one can in particular investigate rigorously the phenomenon of asymptotic freedom, which plays a key role in our current understanding of the interaction among elementary particles. However, until this book, there has been no pedagogical synthesis of these new developments. Vincent Rivasseau, who has been actively involved in them, now describes them for a wider audience. There are, in fact, common concepts at the heart of the progress on perturbative and constructive techniques. Exploiting these similarities, the author uses perturbative renormalization, which is the more widely known and conceptually simpler of the two cases, to explain the less familiar but more mathematically meaningful constructive renormalization. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
