|  Produktbeschreibung (23275364): BRIGHT SHINY MORNING is a darkly funny, startlingly moving and dazzling original novel from James Frey. Meet Amberton: film-star, family man, closet gay. Meet Esperanza: only child, genius, cleaner. Welcome to LA. City of contradictions. It is home to movie stars and down-and-outs. Palm-lined beaches and gridlock. Shopping sprees and gun sprees. BRIGHT SHINY MORNING takes a wild ride through the ultimate metropolis, where glittering excess rubs shoulders with seedy depravity. Frey´s trademark filmic snapshots zoom in on the parallel lives of diverse characters, bringing their egos and ideals, hopes and despairs, anxieties and absurdities vividly to life. Some suffer, like the otherworldly wino who tries to save a spoilt teenage runaway. Others gain, like the canny talent agent who turns sexual harassment to blackmailing advantage. Some are loaded, or grounded, and have luck on their side. Others, like the countless actresses-turned-hookers, or schoolboys-turned-gangsters, are doomed. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - Topseller ansehen oder für EUR 13.95 bestellen! |

| | Produktbeschreibung (22055764): DUKE. If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken and so die. That strain again! It had a dying fall; O, it came o´er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough, no more; ´Tis not so sweet now as it was before. O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou! That, notwithstanding thy capacity Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Of what validity and pitch soe´er, But falls into abatement and low price Even in a minute. So full of shapes is fancy, That it alone is high fantastical. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 22.95 bestellen! |

Making Markets: Opportunism and Restraint on Wall Street (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22279433): Abolafia looks at three subcultures that co-exist in the world of Wall Street: the stock, bond and futures markets. Through interviews, anecdotes and the author´s skilful analysis, we see how traders and New York Stock Exchange ´´specialists´´ negotiate the perpetual tension between short-term self-interest and long-term self-restraint that marks their respective communities - and how the temptation toward excess spurs market activity. We also see the complex relationship among those market communities - why, for instance, NYSE specialists resent the freedoms permitted over-the-counter bond traders and futures traders. ´´Making Markets´´ shows us that what propels Wall Street is not a fundamental human drive or instinct, but strategies enacted in the context of social relationships, cultural idioms and institutions - a cycle that moves between phases of unbridled self-interest and collective self-restraint. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 44.95 bestellen! |

| | Produktbeschreibung (22604464): .before Country is a tight collection of seven Science Fiction short stories and code poems. Five were written before Country was named. Two describe the beginnings of settlement. Four code poems recount the ongoing upheaval after initial terraforming. Some say this time of excess was deliberately encouraged, in order to forestall the conservative staidness that infects most isolated post-pioneer societies when they celebrate the pioneer spirit of their forebears, instead of doing it. The last story, The Isle of the Dead, relates a moment of metamorphosis. Rooted in personal agency, the hero Smith seeks a treasure but his outsider perspective rewrites the kernel and creates a new beginning. This directly lay the way for the ecosocial emergence of Country, when Starkey founded the legendary Ripplinglee, the first steadhouse. These tells prequel the three Books of Country (Fall, Born, Home) which best describe the time of the steaders. These will be released some time in the future. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 8.95 bestellen! |

Scientific Requirements for Extremely Large Telescopes: Proceedings of the 232nd Symposium of the International Astronomical Union Held in Cape Town, (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21851108): Following the inauguration of the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), the international ELT community met in Cape Town to discuss the next generation of telescopes - those with apertures in excess of 20m. This volume presents the results of their deliberations, starting with reviews of the scientific needs emerging from the exploitation of the present generation of large telescopes and an examination of the technical lessons that might be transferred to larger telescopes. Scientific discussions cover four broad themes: galaxy formation, galaxy evolution and cosmology; stellar populations; the intergalactic medium; and exoplanets and star formation. The status of the various projects is discussed with details of site testing, detector development and an emphasis on adaptive optics which will be critical for these extremely large telescopes. Much of the discussion of IAU S232 is reproduced in detail, providing a real flavour of the controversial issues. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 96.95 bestellen! |
