This book combines the theory of intertextuality and intermediality with imagological reflections. These are understood as a way of intercultural, hermeneutically oriented secondary communication in which the analyses of "otherness" do not serve for the purposes of presenting one’s own self, but for understanding it. By providing tangible text examples from Central European literatures (and others), the authors focus on the circulation of "culture images" as a multilayer text, where reality is represented through verbal means and interpretational proceedings. These images emerged primarily in the period of rising nationalism and, to some extent, they persist to this day. The monograph thus opens a new perspective for theoretical analysis of problems.

Why do people love Sudokus so much? Well... it is not just fun, it is enriching
Did you know that no other puzzle has ever been considered for a good prevention of illnesses such as depression, blood pressure and Alzheimer? Even if it wasn't the case, Sudoku is a fun sport to simply indulge in it, do you agree?
Sudoku is really a healthy addiction In fact, British airlines forbid their stewardesses to solve Sudoku during take-offs or landing. As far as researches have shown thus far, Sudoku increases our focus and capability to problem solve. Makes sense right?
In a world of mobile games, some healthy paper games would reignite your creativity and imagination. Even without all the many benefits that Sudoku provides, it is still a fun game that anyone can play just because... why not?

Автор: Velleman, Daniel J. Wagon, Stan Название: Bicycle or unicycle? ISBN: 1470447592 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781470447595 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 45980.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Bicycle or Unicycle? is a collection of 105 mathematical puzzles whose defining characteristic is the surprise encountered in their solutions. Solvers will be surprised, even occasionally shocked, at those solutions. The problems unfold into levels of depth and generality very unusual in the types of problems seen in contests. In contrast to contest problems, these are problems meant to be savored; many solutions, all beautifully explained, lead to unanswered research questions. At the same time, the mathematics necessary to understand the problems and their solutions is all at the undergraduate level. The puzzles will, nonetheless, appeal to professionals as well as to students and, in fact, to anyone who finds delight in an unexpected discovery.These problems were selected from the Macalester College Problem of the Week archive. The Macalester tradition of a weekly problem was started by Joseph Konhauser in 1968. In 1993 Stan Wagon assumed problem-generating duties. A previous book written by Wagon, Konhauser, and Dan Velleman, Which Way Did the Bicycle Go?, gathered problems from the first twenty-five years of the archive. The title problem in that collection was inspired by an error in logic made by Sherlock Holmes, who attempted to determine the direction of a bicycle from the tracks of its wheels. Here the title problem asks whether a bicycle track can always be distinguished from a unicycle track. You'll be surprised by the answer.

Описание: Intriguing Lives is a compilation of short stories that will leave you with the curiosity to discover more. Drawn from imaginative fictitious characters who can be perceived to be quite dexterous, they are indeed a paradox of being contained and get consumed in the lower worlds, which are dominated by greed, stupidity, and fundamental darkness. Deprecating their existence would be immensely brutal as they uncover the reservoir of potential that lies within them, drawing forth courage compassion, and wisdom. While each of their journeys are entirely different, they are truly inspiring and will fulfill their mission of never being defeated. Ideas can be vast in dimension and so are these stories, which are palatable, thereby serving their inbuilt hidden purpose of infinite potential embedded within a human soul.
