Write More Elegant C++ Programs The official C++ Core Guidelines provide consistent best practices for writing outstanding modern C++ code and improving legacy code, but they're organized as a reference for looking up one specific point at a time, not as a tutorial for working developers. In C++ Core Guidelines Explained, expert C++ instructor Rainer Grimm has distilled them to their essence, removing esoterica, sharing new insights and context, and presenting well-tested examples from his own training courses. Grimm helps experienced C++ programmers use the Core Guidelines with any recent version of the language, from C++11 onward. Most of his code examples are written for C++17, with added coverage of newer versions and C++20 wherever appropriate, and references to the official C++ Core Guidelines online. Whether you're creating new software or improving legacy code, Grimm will help you get more value from the Core Guidelines' most useful rules, as you write code that's safer, clearer, more efficient, and easier to maintain. Apply the guidelines and underlying programming philosophy Correctly use interfaces, functions, classes, enum, resources, expressions, and statements Optimize performance, implement concurrency and parallelism, and handle errors Work effectively with constants, immutability, templates, generics, and metaprogramming Improve your C++ style, manage source files, and use the Standard Library "We are very pleased to see Rainer Grimm applying his teaching skills and industrial background to tackling the hard and necessary task of making the C++ Core Guidelines accessible to more people."--Bjarne Stroustrup and Herb Sutter, co-editors, C++ Core Guidelines Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.

Si Rilke es el poeta por excelencia es porque puso su vida entera al servicio de la poesía: no tuvo otra meta que culminar la obra que estaba llamado a hacer. Los sentimientos más sutiles, las descripciones más precisas, las visiones más grandiosas: esa es la esencia de cada una de las tres etapas sucesivas en que va cristalizando su obra. Y todo lo hizo con una extraordinaria agudeza espiritual y verbal. Como escribió Paul Valéry, Rilke logró iluminar los más hondos secretos de la intimidad del hombre.La presente antología trata de abarcar la producción poética de Rilke. Hay en ella poemas juveniles y poemas de madurez, representativos de la evolución de esa obra, y también de los temas y de los tonos más presentes en ella. De todos los libros que escribió Rilke hay alguna muestra entre estos Cuarenta y nueve poemas.

Wunderbar wohlschmeckender Wein auf der Zunge, Todesgeruch in der Nase und den Finger in der Wunde zur Vergewisserung der Botschaft des neuen Lebens: Ausgerechnet das "geistliche Evangelium" enthält ausgesprochen sinnlich-körperliche Erzählungen. Rainer Hirsch-Luipold interpretiert sie als Antwort auf die erkenntnistheoretische Problemanalyse: "Keiner hat Gott jemals gesehen" (Joh 1,18). Vom Gedanken der Fleischwerdung des göttlichen Logos her entwickelt das vierte Evangelium eine christologisch zentrierte Ästhetik des Unsichtbaren. Über Augen, Mund und Nase der ersten Zeugen erhalten die Leserinnen und Leser die Möglichkeit der Wahrnehmung Gottes in der Begegnung mir Jesus. Gemäß der soteriologischen Pragmatik des Evangeliums werden sie dadurch über Gotteserkenntnis und Glauben zum Leben geführt. Ausgehend von drei exemplarischen Erzählungen entwirft der Autor eine Gesamtsicht der literarischen Technik, Pragmatik und Theologie des vierten Evangeliums.

René Maria Rilke was born in Prague on 4 December 1875 and died near Montreux in Switzerland, on 29 December 1926. The foremost lyric German poet of the 20th century, he is remembered primarily for his Duino Elegies, the Sonnets to Orpheus, the Neue Gedichte, the Buch der Bilder, the Stundenbuch, and the Cornet. Although his mature poetry has been translated into many languages, his early poetry remains accessible only in the original German. This translation of the Larenopfer, or offerings to the Lares, the Roman household deities, are songs that Rilke sings to his hometown Prague and to his beloved Bohemia, short poems on the parks, fountains, churches, bridges and palaces of Prague, not forgetting Rabbi Löw’s legends, the Jewish cemetery, the Thirty Years’ War and, of course, young love. This cycle of 90 poems offers the reader a unique view into Rilke’s fascinating world, the turn-of-the-century atmosphere of Prague, then the third largest city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Here a young German of the ruling bourgeoisie shows great appreciation for contemporary Czech literary works and enthusiasm for the cause of Czech cultural identity. Larenopfer possesses not only literary merit but is also of considerable sociological and historical interest.

Rainer Maria Rilke's work spans the divide between turn-of-the-century Europe's decadence and its post First World War revolutionary modernism, always struggling to develop, to seek and reach beyond itself. This selection of poems from throughout Rilke's creative output is arranged chronologically, placing poems of similar themes and / or modes of expression close to one another, making bed-fellows of poems rarely seen together. Each poem is to a greater or lesser extent conscious of others. The aim is to illuminate the underlying themes which Rilke said he had arrived at very early in his life. In his powerful new translation, skilfully shaped into current English, Ian Crockatt succeeds in catching Rilke's blend of crafted sensuality and inward-focused spiritual searching, while his comprehensive introduction and notes to this selection are both informative and enlightening.

Hoarding New Guinea provides a new cultural history of colonialism that pays close attention to the millions of Indigenous artifacts that serve as witnesses to Europe’s colonial past in ethnographic museums. Rainer F. Buschmann investigates the roughly two hundred thousand artifacts extracted from the colony of German New Guinea from 1870 to 1920. Reversing the typical trajectories that place ethnographic museums at the center of the analysis, he concludes that museum interests in material culture alone cannot account for the large quantities of extracted artifacts. Buschmann moves beyond the easy definition of artifacts as trophies of colonial defeat or religious conversion, instead employing the term hoarding to describe the irrational amassing of Indigenous artifacts by European colonial residents. Buschmann also highlights Indigenous material culture as a bargaining chip for its producers to engage with the imposed colonial regime. In addition, by centering an area of collection rather than an institution, he opens new areas of investigation that include non-professional ethnographic collectors and a sustained rather than superficial consideration of Indigenous peoples as producers behind the material culture. Hoarding New Guinea answers the call for a more significant historical focus on colonial ethnographic collections in European museums.
