English | ISBN: 0814346901 | 2020 | 291 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Stars and Silhouettes: The History of the Cameo Role in Hollywood traces the history of the cameo as it emerged in twentieth-century cinema. Although the cameo has existed in film culture for over a century, Joceline Andersen explains that this role cannot be strictly defined because it exists as a constellation of interactions between duration and recognition, dependent on who is watching and when. Even audiences of the twenty-first century who are inundated by the lives of movie stars and habituated to images of their personal friends on screens continue to find cameos surprising and engaging. Cameos reveal the links between our obsession with celebrity and our desire to participate in the powerful cultural industries within contemporary society.

Free Download Pulsating Stars: A NATURE Reprint by F. G. Smith , A. Hewish
English | PDF | 1968 | 100 Pages | ISBN : 1489961917 | 18.9 MB
THE discovery of the pulsating radio stars by Miss Jocelyn Bell, working with Dr Hewish at Cambridge, rivals the early classic discoveries of extraterrestrial radio sources in its importance and in its excitement. It may at first have seemed to be a lucky accident that the pulsars, as they are now called, should be detected first in an experiment designed to investigate the solar wind; the fact that for several months after the publica- tion of the discovery no other pulsars had been detected in any other radio observatory shows that the discovery followed naturally on the many years of work that Hewish has put into the study of another type of fluctuating signal, the interplanetary scintillation of discrete radio sources.

Free Download From Ikaria to the stars : classical mythification, ancient and modern By Green, Peter
2004 | 324 Pages | ISBN: 0292702302 | PDF | 4 MB
This collection of essays represents Peter Green’s observations on classical myth and is wide-ranging in the questions it asks, including, what did the Greeks think about myth? what factors were responsible for it? what was the role of magic and who designed it? From Hesiod’s Works and Days , to Herodotus and Periclean Athens, to the mythicisation of Alexander’s Alexandria, Green often sets Greek myth and history against one another, opening the door `into non-rational and quasi-rational modes of thought in which it becomes possible to write painful truths and unacceptable history’

English | 2008 | ISBN: 0752442775 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.6 mb
Caroline Herschel is best known as the less significant sister of the astronomer William Herschel. Yet the romantic notion of her tirelessly working for her brother while he made his studies of the heavens, documenting his discoveries so he could achieve greatness in the scientific world, couldn’t be further from the truth. When Caroline wasn’t working as her brother’s assistant, she was sweeping the stars with her own small telescope given to her by William. Not only did she unearth three important nebulae, but she discovered no fewer than eight comets in her own right. When William became Astronomer Royal to King George III in 1782, Caroline too received an annual salary, making her the first ever woman to work as a professional scientist.William was made a fellow of the Royal Society in 1781 after discovering the planet Uranus. It wasn’t until 1828, but the Society would eventually reward Caroline too, with its Gold Medal. This award would not be awarded to another woman until 1996. This fascinating new biography of one of our most outstanding scientists reveals the hardships experienced by a woman pursuing a male profession. Yet how did this unattractive, diminutive woman gain the respect of her professional colleagues, her country, and even her king? As Marilyn B. Ogilive investigates this extraordinary life, the determination, humility, and passion of one unremarkable woman come to light.

Included are ninety-one of Akiko’s tanka (a traditional five-line form of verse) and a dozen of her longer poems written in the modern style.
