View Rights PortalJesse war das jüngste der zehn Kinder seiner Familie. Obwohl er der schnellste Läufer an seiner Schule war, konnte er nicht mit den anderen Kindern trainieren. Er musste arbeiten, um seine Familie zu unterstützen. Doch Jesse gab nie auf und wurde einer der größten Leichtathleten. Er brach zahlreiche Rekorde und gewann sogar bei den Olympischen Spielen. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.
In Großbritannien haben die Arbeiten des unorthodoxen marxistischen Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaftlers Raymond Williams eine lebhafte Resonanz gefunden; hierzulande ist er noch nicht zureichend beachtet worden. Die vom Herausgeber gemeinsam mit Raymond Williams im Blick auf eine kontinentale Leserschaft getroffene Auswahl aus seinen Arbeiten vereinigt theoretisch-begriffliche Untersuchungen und materiale Analysen, die sich in exemplarischer Weise mit zentralen Fragen der Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte befassen.
This book brings together for the first time five French directors who have established themselves as among the most exciting and significant working today: Bruno Dumont, Robert Guédiguian, Laurent Cantet, Abdellatif Kechiche, and Claire Denis. Whatever their chosen habitats or shifting terrains, each of these highly distinctive auteurs has developed unique strategies of representation and framing that reflect a profound investment in the geophysical world. The book proposes that we think about cinematographic space in its many different forms simultaneously (screenspace, landscape, narrative space, soundscape, spectatorial space). Through a series of close and original readings of selected films, it posits a new 'space of the cinematic subject'. Accessible and wide-ranging, this volume opens up new areas of critical enquiry in the expanding interdisciplinary field of space studies. It will be of immediate interest to students and researchers working not only in film studies and film philosophy, but also in French/Francophone studies, postcolonial studies, gender and cultural studies.

This third edition of Experimental Design and Analysis for Tree Improvement provides a set of practical procedures to follow when planning, designing and analysing tree improvement trials. Using many fully worked examples, it outlines how to: design field, glasshouse and laboratory trials; efficiently collect and construct electronic data files; pre-process data, screening for data quality and outliers; analyse data from single and across-site trials; and interpret the results from statistical analyses. The authors address the many practical issues often faced in forest tree improvement trials and describe techniques that will efficiently give conclusive results. The techniques provided are applicable to the improvement of not only trees, but to crops in general. Building on the success of the second edition, this new edition has been fully revised to include the construction of p-rep and spatial designs using the commercially available software package for design generation (CycDesigN). For analysis of the examples, it provides online Genstat and SAS programs and a link to R programs.

Owen Brynmor, ein verkrachter Journalist, der mit seinen dreißig Jahren schon zahlreiche Zeitungen im ganzen Land hinter sich gebracht hat, wollte nie mehr zurück nach Stepford, Pennsylvania, in seine Heimatstadt. Aber dann kommt er – um Boxer zu werden. Weil er nebenbei Geld verdienen muß, heuert er als Lokalreporter an und erregt sogleich Aufsehen mit dem Bericht über einen Werwolf, den »Teufel von Blue Ball«, der Stepford in Angst und Schrecken versetzt. Auf der Suche nach der Legende vom »Kornwolf« stößt Owen auf Ephraim Bontrager, einen stummen Halbwaisen, der sich an den Rändern der diskriminierten Amish-Gemeinde herumtreibt. Mit seinem merkwürdigen Verhalten bringt er das ganze Tal gegen sich auf. Am Ende rottet sich die Bevölkerung zu einer gigantischen Hetzjagd zusammen. In wem, fragt diese spannende Geschichte, nimmt »das Böse« eigentlich Gestalt an – in einem Monster oder in den Menschen, die Jagd darauf machen? Des Autors Sprachgewalt ist den Katastrophen, die der Roman heraufbeschwört, gewachsen. Ebenbürtig steht Kornwolf neben Monument für John Kaltenbrunner, Tristan Egolfs hochgerühmtem, furiosem Erstling.
It is well known that the old English poem Beowulf begins and ends with funerals and includes the third as a digression part way through. Now, for the first time, a fourth funeral (hitherto disguised as poetic imagery) is identified from archaeological evidence. A detailed analysis of the four funerals establishes their thematic and structural importance, revealing them as pillars around which the poem is built. The poet is revealed as a literate antiquarian of considerable structural skill; one who explores feminist issues, plays with numbers and enjoys a pun; who establishes an ideal then probes its darker side. The author's unique knowledge of Anglo-Saxon culture provides constant surprises and enlightenment. This book will be invaluable to all students of the poem for its fresh and detailed reading, its identification of a coherent structure and its establishment of the integrity of the surviving texts. ;
