Dress You Up

Autor: Brian Centrone

Número de Páginas: 106

Dress You Up is an anthology like no other. The twelve diverse stories in this collection speak to the multiple ways in which fashion is more than just the clothes we wear. There will be no frivolous yarns about fashion here—those tales can be found in other closets. This Capsule Collection of Fashionable Fiction illustrates how the clothing and accessories we wear or covet often reflect past memories, present challenges, or future hopes and dreams. The stories focus on themes such as trauma and healing, perception and identity, love and loss, hopes and dreams. Ultimately, these stories help us understand how fashion can shape who we are or who we want to be. Edited by Brian Centrone (Salon Style: Fiction, Poetry & Art and Southern Gothic: New Tales of the South) and illustrated by Stephen Tornero, Dress You Up will dazzle and delight readers as much as it will touch and move them.

Betrayed Ally

Autor: Frances Wood

Número de Páginas: 279

The Great War helped China emerge from humiliation and obscurity and take its first tentative steps as a full member of the global community.In 1912 the Qing Dynasty had ended. President Yuan Shikai, who seized power in 1914, offered the British 50,000 troops to recover the German colony in Shandong but this was refused. In 1916 China sent a vast army of labourers to Europe. In 1917 she declared war on Germany despite this effectively making the real enemy Japan an ally.The betrayal came when Japan was awarded the former German colony. This inspired the rise of Chinese nationalism and communism, enflamed by Russia. The scene was set for Japans incursions into China and thirty years of bloodshed.One hundred years on, the time is right for this accessible and authoritative account of Chinas role in The Great War and assessment of its national and international significance

Le mystérieux fiancé

Autor: Shannon Drake

Número de Páginas: 255

19ème siècle, Londres. Sous la protection des Carlyle depuis son enfance, Ally a grandi dans un havre de paix, loin des troubles qui agitent le royaume. Et si cette existence dorée a des inconvénients – comme celui d’être promise à un inconnu –, Ally a bien conscience que ses origines modestes auraient pu la conduire à un sort moins enviable. Aussi est-ce résignée qu’elle se rend au bal qui officialisera ses fiançailles avec Mark Farrow, l’époux que son parrain lui a choisi. Mais alors qu’elle est en chemin, sa voiture est attaquée par un ténébreux bandit. L’homme, aussi inquiétant que séduisant, fait aussitôt naître en elle un désir implacable. Un désir qu’elle s’efforce de réprimer pour lui tenir tête : comment ose-t-il s’en prendre à elle, Alexandra Grayson, pupille du puissant comte de Carlyle ? Son argument, elle le sait, est peu convaincant... Pourtant, contre toute attente, l’homme la libère dès qu’il apprend son nom, visiblement bouleversé par sa découverte... A propos de l'auteur : Auteur talentueux et prolifique, Shannon Drake a le privilège de figurer régulièrement sur la liste des best-sellers du New York Times....

Introduction to Heterostructured Materials

Autor: Yuntian Zhu , Xiaolei Wu

Número de Páginas: 214

Introduction to Heterostructured Materials provides updates on the historical perspective of the development of these materials, which is followed by a review of the basic background on mechanical behaviors and properties of metals and alloys. Next, both the definition and the fundamental principles and deformation behavior of heterostructured materials are covered, as well as their processing and properties and various design principles. The book supports graduate students and researchers entering this field, senior scientists who are already working in this field, engineers in the manufacturing industry, and professors who are teaching advanced materials and technologies. Heterostructured materials not only possess superior mechanical and/or physical properties that are not accessible to their conventional homogeneous counterparts, but they are also conducive to large-scale industrial production at low cost. - Written in a systematic and easy to read style - Discusses the mechanical behaviors of coarse-grained metals and nanostructured metals - Focuses on the uniqueness of microstructures, behaviors and their fundamental scientific issues - Includes the design and potential...

Progress in Computational Physics of Matter

Autor: Luciano Reatto , Franca Manghi

Número de Páginas: 288

The aim of the book is to describe some of the recent advances, through computer simulation in a broad sense, in the understanding of the complex processes occurring in solids and liquids.The rapid growth of computer power, including the new parallel processors, has stimulated a ferment of new theoretical and computational ideas, which have been developed in particular by the authors in a pluriennal research project supported by Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) for the development of novel software for large scale computations.The book will cover advances in ab initio (Car-Parrinello) molecular dynamics, quantum monte carlo simulations, self-consistent density functional computation of electronic states, classical molecular dynamics simulation of thermodynamic processes, chemical reactions and transport properties.Besides the description of the results of these techniques in leading edge applications, the book will address specific aspects of the algorithms and software which have been developed by the authors in order to implement in an efficient way the new theoretical advances in these computationally intensive problems.These aspects which are generally not discussed in ...

Acoustic Emission Testing

Autor: Christian U. Grosse , Masayasu Ohtsu , Dimitrios G. Aggelis , Tomoki Shiotani

Número de Páginas: 746

This book provides an introduction to Acoustic Emission Testing and its applications to different materials like concrete, steel, ceramics, geotechnical materials, polymers, biological structures and wood. Acoustic Emission Techniques (AET) techniques have been studied in engineering for a long time. The techniques are applied more and more to practical investigations and are more and more standardized in codes. This is because the degradation of structures due to ageing urgently demand for maintenance and rehabilitation of structures in service. It results in the need for the development of advanced and efficient inspection techniques. In mechanical engineering and concerning the monitoring of machines and mechanical components, AE is a widely accepted observing deterioration in the frame of structural health monitoring. The advantages of AE like sensitivity, damage localization potential, non-intrusive nature as well as developments in signal analysis and data transmission allow applications that could not be considered decades ago. As such, AE techniques draw great attention to diagnostic applications and in material testing. This book covers all levels from the description of...

Bulk Metallic Glasses

Autor: C. Suryanarayana , A. Inoue

Número de Páginas: 543

Reflecting the fast pace of research in the field, the Second Edition of Bulk Metallic Glasses has been thoroughly updated and remains essential reading on the subject. It incorporates major advances in glass forming ability, corrosion behavior, and mechanical properties. Several of the newly proposed criteria to predict the glass-forming ability of alloys have been discussed. All other areas covered in this book have been updated, with special emphasis on topics where significant advances have occurred. These include processing of hierarchical surface structures and synthesis of nanophase composites using the chemical behavior of bulk metallic glasses and the development of novel bulk metallic glasses with high-strength and high-ductility and superelastic behavior. New topics such as high-entropy bulk metallic glasses, nanoporous alloys, novel nanocrystalline alloys, and soft magnetic glassy alloys with high saturation magnetization have also been discussed. Novel applications, such as metallic glassy screw bolts, surface coatings, hyperthermia glasses, ultra-thin mirrors and pressure sensors, mobile phone casing, and degradable biomedical materials, are described.
