Описание: 'My New Year's Eve Toast: to all the devils, lusts, passions, greeds, envies, loves, hates, strange desires, enemies ghostly and real, the army of memories, with which I do battle - may they never give me peace' PATRICIA HIGHSMITH (New Year's Eve, 1947)Made famous by the great success of her psychological thrillers, The Talented Mr Ripley and Strangers on a Train, Patricia Highsmith is lauded as one of the most influential and celebrated modern writers. However, there has never been a clear picture of the woman behind the books. The relationship between Highsmith's lesbianism, her fraught personality - by parts self-destructive and malicious - and her fiction, has been largely avoided by biographers.
She was openly homosexual and wrote the seminal lesbian love story, Carol. In modern times, she would be venerated as a radical exponent of the LGBT community. However, her status as an LGBT icon is undermined by the fact that she was excessively cruel and exploitative of her friends and lovers.
In this new biography, Richard Bradford brings his sharp, incisive style to one of the great and most controversial writers of the twentieth century. He considers Highsmith's bestsellers in the context of her troubled personal life; her alcoholism, licentious sex life, racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny and abundant self-loathing.

A ground-breaking and intensely revealing examination of the life of the 20th century's most iconic writer.
Ernest Hemingway was an involuntary chameleon, who would shift seamlessly from a self-cultivated image of hero, aesthetic radical, and existential non-conformist to a figure made up at various points of selfishness, hypocrisy, self-delusion, narcissism and arbitrary vindictiveness. Richard Bradford shows that Hemingway's work is by parts erratic and unique because it was tied into these unpredictable, bizarre features of his personality. Impressionism and subjectivity always play some part in the making of literary works. Some authors try to subdue them while others treat them as the essentials of creativity but they endure as a ubiquitous element of all literature. They are the writer's private signature, their authorial fingerprint. In this ground-breaking and intensely revealing new biography, including previously unpublished letters from the Hemingway archives, Richard Bradford reveals how Hemingway all but erased his own existence through a lifetime of invention and delusion, and provides the reader with a completely new understanding of the Hemingway oeuvre.

This isnot another quantum mechanics text on conventional lines. Most topics covered in undergraduate quantum physics courses are notable for their absence. Instead this book concentrates upon understanding the intriguing conceptual issues raised by quantum mechanics. It is neither a book for experts nor a "popular physics" book. It is intended for the serious student, but at undergraduate or early postgraduate level. The aim is to demystify ("unweird") quantum mechanics by analysing the many conundrums it presents in terms of the theory's own language, namely Hilbert space algebra. It should be regarded as complementary to standard treatments, not a replacement for them. A rapid reprise of the Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics is first presented and then applied to a wide range of topics including, (a) the reason why "which path" information destroys interference, (b) the reason why quantum states cannot be non-destructively copied, (c) what the uniquely quantum "observability of counterfactuals" means, (d) why constantly monitoring a pure quantum state can prohibit its evolution, (e) analyses of interference experiments involving entangled particles and so-called "delayed choice", "quantum erasure" and "delayed erasure" interference, (f) the quantum formulation of entropy, (g) the definition and quantification of entanglement in both pure and mixed quantum states, (h) the two convincing arguments against "hidden variables" in quantum mechanics, and hence the irreducibly indeterministic nature of quantum measurement, (i) what is meant by decoherence and how it can be quantified, (j) why big things tend not to be "quantum mechanical" - and why they sometimes are, and more often than you think, (k) a brief taster for quantum communication and quantum cryptography, and (l) quantum teleportation: what it is and what it isn't. Traditional topics are not ignored entirely, the book including a rather idiosyncratic treatment of symmetry and conservation laws, the uncertainty principle, and a detailed chapter on algebraic methods in Hilbert space with which all physics students of a theoretical bent should be familiar. In particular the book places great emphasis from the start on appreciating the distinction between pure quantum states and mixed states, which avoids unnecessary confusion. By the end the reader should have a sensible, physicists', perspective on Schrodinger's cat and understand what exactly is meant by being able to extract the result of a quantum computer's computation without turning it on.

Описание: Today, the sounds of steam whistles and trains are no longer heard among the mountains and valleys in most of Cheshire County, New Hampshire, though to the west and south in the Connecticut Valley and in north-central Massachusetts, steel rails are still very much alive. The two-volume set of Iron Roads of the Monadnock Region brings to life the story of now largely forgotten railroads that once operated in the area, shining new light on the roads' stories from their beginnings to the present. Authors Blodget and Richards detail how and why the roads were built in the first place, where they went and what they did, their roles in the economy of the Monadnock Region, and what became of them. Seven years in the making, this set is a compendium of little-known history, tracing the high and low points of the roads, their first and last trains, glory days, times of struggles, disasters, and wrecks. Loaded with hard-to-find historical information, indexed, and copiously illustrated and enriched by rare and unpublished photos--over 700 images, maps, and tables--it's all here, an essential reference for the serious rail fan.

Описание: Beyond Origins challenges the common view of foundings as singular, extraordinary moments of political origin and creation. Engaging with cases of founding across political traditions - from classical Greece to contemporary Latin America - the book argues that it is only through pragmatist understandings of democratic origins that we can realize the potential for radical democratic change.
