S. LeFanu","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eJoseph Sheridan LeFanu (1814–1873) is regarded by many critics as the greatest master of the English ghost story. A product of the decaying Anglo-Irish culture of the early and middle nineteenth century, he sums up in his work better than any of his contemporaries the fears and dreads that may haunt the sensitive individual. \u003cbr\u003eThe reasons for his preeminence are many. He was a remarkable craftsman, whose work has been admired by critics as varied as V. S. Pritchett and H. P. Lovecraft, Henry James and M. R. James. More imaginative and more perceptive than his contemporaries who worked in the same form, he achieved depths and dimensions of terror that still remain otherwise unexplored. And although he was Victorian in his dates, he was in many respects un-Victorian in his writing: his ideas looked both backward to the great supernatural tradition of Romantic fiction and forward to the modern age. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eLeFanu's work, unfortunately, has not been as well known generally as it should be. A few of his better stories have appeared often enough in anthologies, but much of his very best work has lain hidden, because of its inaccessibility. His contemporaries were more interested in his detective novels (including the unmatchable \"Uncle Silas\") and his realistic novels than in his supernatural work, with the result that many of his stories were neither reprinted in England nor ever printed at all in America. \u003cbr\u003eThe present collection contains such favorites as \"Carmilla,\" \"The Familiar,\" \"Green Tea,\" and \"Schalken the Painter,\" as well as much otherwise unobtainable work. There is, for example, the magnificent nouvelle \"The Haunted Baronet,\" (reprinted for the first time from the fabulously rare \"Chronicles of Golden Friars,\" which survives in perhaps less than a dozen sets), material from \"The Purcell Papers,\" the practically unknown essay-story \"An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House,\" and nine other first-rate stories. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDover Original.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"J.

You can imitate this natural coloration, or you can use your imagination in selecting colors. The contour lines provided in the drawings can be used as guidelines for the subtle blending of colors, as in nature, or as sharp demarcation lines between areas of flat color, if your aim is more decorative. Whichever method you choose, enjoy coloring and creating for yourself either true-to-life depictions of marine plants and animals, or more fanciful creatures for framing and collages.\u003cbr\u003eThe varied specimens in this collection represent some of the most common and some of the most exotic forms of sea life in the oceans of the world.

Dishes such as apple soup, baked bananas, Dutch liver dumplings, spaetzle and braten, walnut shad, and oyster peppers are enjoyed by almost everyone.\u003cbr\u003eOne of the difficulties about Dutch cookery, however, is that is always has been a home cooking style within a closely knit community, and it does not go by cookbooks.

These judges held a unique position. As \"fathers to the people\" they were at once judge and detective, responsible for all aspects of keeping the peace and for discovering, capturing, and punishing criminals.\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most celebrated historical magistrates was Judge Dee, who lived in the seventh century A.D. This book, written in the eighteenth century by a person well versed in the Chinese legal code, chronicles three of Judge Dee's most celebrated cases, interwoven to form a novel. A double murder among traveling merchants, the fatal poisoning of a bride on her wedding night, and an unsolved murder in a small town under Judge Dee's jurisdiction — these are the crimes. They take Judge Dee up and down the great silk routes, through clever disguises, into ancient graveyards where he consults the spirits of the dead, and through some clever deduction.\u003cbr\u003eAfter translating \u003ci\u003eDee Goong An,\u003c\/i\u003e Robert Van Gulik continued the adventures of Judge Dee in fiction he wrote himself.

Through a series of simple exercises, it places the extraordinary creative resources of Notan easily within the grasp of Western artists and designers.\u003cbr\u003eClearly and concisely, the authors demonstrate Notan's practical applications in six problems of progressive difficulty — creative exercises that will fascinate artists and designers of every calling and level of expertise. Along with these exercises, the book includes many illustrations of the principle of Notan, among them images as diverse as a sculpture by David Smith, a Samoan tapa cloth, a Museum of Modern Art shopping bag, New England gravestone rubbings, Japanese wrapping paper, a painting by Robert Motherwell, a psychedelic poster, and a carved and dyed Nigerian calabash.

Martin's first Dover books were published in 1956 and 1957: \u003ci\u003eMathematics, Magic and Mystery,\u003c\/i\u003e one of the first popular books on the intellectual excitement of mathematics to reach a wide audience, and \u003ci\u003eFads and Fallacies in the Name of Science,\u003c\/i\u003e certainly one of the first popular books to cast a devastatingly skeptical eye on the claims of pseudoscience and the many guises in which the modern world has given rise to it. Both of these pioneering books are still in print with Dover today along with more than a dozen other titles of Martin's books. They run the gamut from his elementary \u003ci\u003eCodes, Ciphers and Secret Writing,\u003c\/i\u003e which has been enjoyed by generations of younger readers since the 1980s, to the more demanding \u003ci\u003eThe New Ambidextrous Universe: Symmetry and Asymmetry from Mirror Reflections to Superstrings,\u003c\/i\u003e which Dover published in its final revised form in 2005.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo those of us who have been associated with Dover for a long time, however, Martin was more than an author, albeit a remarkably popular and successful one. As a member of the small group of long-time advisors and consultants, which included NYU's Morris Kline in mathematics, Harvard's I. Bernard Cohen in the history of science, and MIT's J. P. Den Hartog in engineering, Martin's advice and editorial suggestions in the formative 1950s helped to define the Dover publishing program and give it the point of view which — despite many changes, new directions, and the consequences of evolution — continues to be operative today.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Author's Own Words:\u003cbr\u003e\"Politicians, real-estate agents, used-car salesmen, and advertising copy-writers are expected to stretch facts in self-serving directions, but scientists who falsify their results are regarded by their peers as committing an inexcusable crime.

Thirty-one years later, after serving a prison term for an attempted assassination, he was expelled to the Soviet Union, a country which he eventually renounced. But before his repudiation of the Soviet system, Berkman attempted to answer some of the charges made against anarchism and to present its case clearly and intelligently.

Approaching the subject for the first time may raise more queries and doubts than are usually handled in the basic, straightforward textbook.\u003cbr\u003eBased on a series of lectures delivered to 500 sophomore engineering students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Dr. Van Neer's clear, lucid treatment is readily comprehensible by undergraduate-level science and engineering students. His language is informal, his examples are vivid and lively, his perspective is fresh. This book, a companion to a basic textbook, discusses thermodynamics, a topic of profound importance in the study of physics, in a manner which elucidates fundamental concepts and demonstrates their practical applicability.\u003cbr\u003eIn these increasingly energy-conscious and costly times, as traditional energy sources are being depleted and revolutionary new sources are contemplated, appreciating the consequences of the laws of thermodynamics is more than a fascinating avenue of intellectual inquiry: it is a pragmatic concern imperative to all — students, scientists, engineers, technicians, politicians, businessmen, and anyone facing the energy challenges of the future. Here is help understanding concepts which will prove all-important in the next century.\u003cbr\u003eDr. H. C.

This introductory text examines digital filtering, the processes of smoothing, predicting, differentiating, integrating, and separating signals, as well as the removal of noise from a signal. The processes bear particular relevance to computer applications, one of the focuses of this book.\u003cbr\u003eReaders will find Hamming's analysis accessible and engaging, in recognition of the fact that many people with the strongest need for an understanding of digital filtering do not have a strong background in mathematics or electrical engineering. Thus, this book assumes only a knowledge of calculus and a smattering of statistics (reviewed in the text). Adopting the simplest, most direct mathematical tools, the author concentrates on linear signal processing; the main exceptions are the examination of round-off effects and a brief mention of Kalman filters. \u003cbr\u003eThis updated edition includes more material on the z-transform as well as additional examples and exercises for further reinforcement of each chapter's content.

Hamming (1915–1998) was first a programmer of one of the earliest digital computers while assigned to the Manhattan Project in 1945, then for many years he worked at Bell Labs, and later at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He was a witty and iconoclastic mathematician and computer scientist whose work and influence still reverberates through the areas he was interested in and passionate about.
