Download or read book Our Nun written by Rob Laughner and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2004-10 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a rural farming community in western Pennsylvania, this novel gives fresh voice to the great tradition of the American pastoral. The classic idyll goes awry when young Boyd Robison and his friends find a body in the local churchyard, causing Boyd and his buddies to take a closer look at the odd characters-and sudden suspects-in their close-knit community. Dry, understated wit and Boyd's naive bravery turn this seemingly dark tale into a joyful and charming story about growing up in America's heartland.

Book Synopsis Bluefield, Virginia by : Louise B. Leslie
Download or read book Bluefield, Virginia written by Louise B. Leslie and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bluefield is truly Virginia's tallest town. The town's elevation is officially 2,389 feet, with East River Mountain reaching 3,700 feet at the town's southern limit. In its long, illustrious history, the community has had four distinctive names. The small, agricultural community began as Pin Hook. Then the town became Harman in honor of a local Civil War hero, E. H. Harman. With the arrival of the railroad, the town was first incorporated under the name of Graham in 1884 in honor of the Philadelphia engineer and promoter Col. Thomas Graham. Finally, the town was redubbed Bluefield in 1924 to coincide with its neighbor across the state line. The name Bluefield comes from the fields of blue chicory that are common to this region of the two Virginias.
Book Synopsis Between the Flowers by : Harriette Simpson Arnow
Download or read book Between the Flowers written by Harriette Simpson Arnow and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2005-10-11 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the Flowers is Harriette Simpson Arnow's second novel. Written in the late 1930s, but unpublished until 1997, this early work shows the development of social and cultural themes that would continue in Arnow's later work: the appeal of wandering and of modern life, the countervailing desire to stay within a traditional community, and the difficulties of communication between men and women in such a community. Between the Flowers goes far beyond categories of "local color," literary regionalism, or the agrarian novel, to the heart of human relationships in a modernized world. Arnow, who went on to write Hunter's Horn (1949) and The Dollmaker (1952)—her two most famous works—has continually been overlooked by critics as a regional writer. Ironically, it is her stinging realism that is seen as evidence of her realism, evidence that she is of the Cumberland—an area somehow more "regional" than others. Beginning with an edition of critical essays on her work in 1991 and a complete original edition of Hunter's Horn in 1997, the Michigan State University Press is pleased to continue its effort to make available the timeless insight of Arnow's work with the posthumous publication of Between the Flowers.
Download or read book Negrophobia written by Darius James and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative, raucous dark comedy about race and racism in America, now back in print after twenty-five years and with a new preface by the author. Darius James’s scabrous, unapologetically raunchy, truly hilarious, and deeply scary Negrophobia is a wild-eyed reckoning with the mutating insanity of American racism. A screenplay for the mind, a performance on the page, a work of poetry, a mad mix of genres and styles, a novel in the tradition of William S. Burroughs and Ishmael Reed that is like no other novel, Negrophobia begins with the blonde bombshell Bubbles Brazil succumbing to a voodoo spell and entering the inner darkness of her own shiny being. Here crackheads parade in the guise of Muppets, Muslims beat conga drums, Negroes have numbers for names, and H. Rap Remus demands the total and instantaneous extermination of the white race through spontaneous combustion. By the end of it all, after going on a weird trip for the ages, Bubbles herself is strangely transformed.

Book Synopsis Advances in Haptics by : Mehrdad Hosseini Zadeh
Download or read book Advances in Haptics written by Mehrdad Hosseini Zadeh and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haptic interfaces are divided into two main categories: force feedback and tactile. Force feedback interfaces are used to explore and modify remote/virtual objects in three physical dimensions in applications including computer-aided design, computer-assisted surgery, and computer-aided assembly. Tactile interfaces deal with surface properties such as roughness, smoothness, and temperature. Haptic research is intrinsically multi-disciplinary, incorporating computer science/engineering, control, robotics, psychophysics, and human motor control. By extending the scope of research in haptics, advances can be achieved in existing applications such as computer-aided design (CAD), tele-surgery, rehabilitation, scientific visualization, robot-assisted surgery, authentication, and graphical user interfaces (GUI), to name a few. Advances in Haptics presents a number of recent contributions to the field of haptics. Authors from around the world present the results of their research on various issues in the field of haptics.
