Описание: This selection of short plays is a companion to Kirby Congdons one-act collection of plays, "God is Dead (Again)". At age eighty-seven, Congdon continues in his persistent quest for human understanding. He explores the meaning of life through a variety of existential questions and scenarios played out within the fourteen plays that comprise this collection. Kirby Congdon is one of those rare talents who is able to use a variety of mediums to express his artistic vision. This book represents the dramatic level in his search for enlightenment. Indeed, he blurs the lines between drama and poetry -- lines that have never been that clear anyway -- by using dialogue in his poems and lyrical values in his plays. The reader is taken on a thoughtful and entertaining trip from the personal world of self exploration to more universal commonalities of mans existence. "Here We Are" sparkles with Parkersonian wit.

Описание: "Kirbys contributions to the concept of "The Poet", was more than just the publications of some 300 separate poems, with reprints in magazines and anthologies making a total of over 780 poems published to date. Indeed, his life and his contributions, in both poetry and prose,have become a living symbol of a chosen vocation, that of the vision of the Poet as a philosopher of the human condition. True, his poems remain his first concern, but the reader of this bibliography will find that Kirby Congdon was not just a writer of poetry, he was also a student and a judge of poetry and its place in todays world"

Описание: This textbook provides an introduction to gravitational lensing, which has become an invaluable tool in modern astrophysics, with applications that range from finding planets orbiting distant stars to understanding how dark matter and dark energy conspired to form the cosmic structures we see today. Principles of Gravitational Lensing begins with Einstein’s prediction that gravity bends light, and shows how that fundamental idea has spawned a rich field of study over the past century.The gravitational deflection of light was first detected by Eddington during a solar eclipse in May 1919, launching Einstein and his theory of relativity into public view. Yet the possibility of using the phenomenon to unlock mysteries of the Universe seemed remote, given the technology of the day. Theoretical work was carried out sporadically over the next six decades, but only with the discovery of the system Q0957+561 in 1979 was gravitational lensing transformed from a curiosity of general relativity into a practical observational tool.This book describes how the three subfields known as strong lensing, weak lensing, and microlensing have grown independently but become increasingly intertwined. Drawing on their research experience, Congdon and Keeton begin with the basic physics of light bending, then present the mathematical foundations of gravitational lensing, building up to current research topics in a clear and systematic way. Relevant background material from physics and mathematics is included, making the book self-contained.The derivations and explanations are supplemented by exercises designed to help students master the theoretical concepts as well as the methods that drive current research. An extensive bibliography guides those wishing to delve more deeply into particular areas of interest. Principles of Gravitational Lensing is ideal for advanced students and seasoned researchers looking to penetrate this thriving subject and even contribute research of their own.
