A Fine Dark Line $4.76 The Barnes & Noble ReviewPart murder mystery, part coming-of-age story, A Fine Dark Line is a wonderfully rendered thematic companion piece to The Bottoms, Lansdale's Edgar Award–winning novel of murder and madness. This time out, Lansdale sets his narrative in 1958, in the fictional east Texas hamlet of Dewmont. Balancing gothic details -- buried secrets, sexual perversion, religious mania -- with the everyday pleasures and pains of family life, Lansdale filters his story through the eyes of Stanley Mitchell Jr., an uncommonly naïve 13-year-old who has just moved to Dewmont with his mother, father, and older sister. The Mitchells own and run the Dew Drop Drive-in, a nostalgic artifact that Lansdale, the poet laureate of drive-ins, describes with accuracy and affection. Over a single eventful summer, Stanley learns about sex, cruelty, endemic racism, and the importance of family bonds. He also unearths a cache of documents pertaining to an unsolved 13-year-old murder case. Together with his sister, Callie, and an irascible, alcoholic projectionist named Buster Abbott Lighthorse Smith, he conducts an investigation of his own. Stanley's obsession with the murders of Margaret Wood, the daughter of a local prostitute, and Jewel Ann Stilwind, a member of Dewmont's leading family, forms the melodramatic center of the novel. But the real heart of this deeply engaging book is Stanley's gradually increasing awareness of the complex, often troubling nature of life in his new hometown. As he probes an unresolved crime, he finds himself in contact with a cast of characters who will alter and enlarge his understanding of the world. Among them are a battered young boy and his fanatical, sadistic father, a large-hearted black cook on the run from her abusive boyfriend, and a family of wealthy sexual predators -- the Stilwinds -- who wield money |

A Mercy $15 Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison's first novel in five years follows characters white and black, enslaved and free, as they attempt to find stability and love in the 17th-century American Colonies. At the center of the fiction is Florens, a youthful black woman who becomes chattel in a financial transaction gone wrong. As she attempts to cope with her predicament, she comes into contact with others also struggling to find a niche in the uncertainties of the New World. As in previous works, Morrison establishes the uniqueness of her characters by Rashomon-like devices of multiple perspectives on the same events. |

Acts of Contortion $1.99 In poems that are by turns witty, lush, and unflinching, Acts of Contortion explores the gestures of both hurtfulness and compassion. Whether set in a shelter for battered women, in the midst of a political demonstration, or at the center of an orchestra, the poems pursue the place of language in an injurious world. The political conscience at work is feminist, pacifist, and at odds with itself. Anna George Meek finds that the brutal and the compassionate are sometimes indistinguishable, born of our need to make contact outside of ourselves. These gestures—of music, of touch, of poetry—appear in the poems as the violin, domestic abuse, and words to comfort a woman in pain. The poems argue: difficult yet imperative, the attempt to gesture beyond ourselves is an act of contortion. |

Adaptive vibration control using magnetically mounted piezoelectric elements. $49.99 Piezoelectric elements, which have the ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa, are often used in active and passive vibration control applications. When attached to a vibrating structure, the piezoelectric element deforms and energy is dissipated as current is driven through a shunt connected to its electrodes. This thesis examines piezoelectric vibration control methods that provide adaptability to environmental changes and flexibility in implementation. First, an autonomous controller is developed which maximizes energy dissipation using synchronized switching, a technique that periodically switches the elements to an external resistor-inductor shunt. The instants of switching are identified through a filtered velocity signal, and the technique's performance is optimized when the filter's center frequency approximately matches the structure's natural frequency of interest. In simulation and laboratory measurements, the controller measures the tip velocity of a cantilever beam and adaptively aligns the filter with the beam's fundamental frequency using a fuzzy logic algorithm. With minimal a priori knowledge of the system, the controller adapts to changes in the beam's frequency and excitation, thus outperforming traditional synchronized switching. The thesis then shifts its focus to the attachment mechanism between piezoelectric elements and vibrating structures. Piezoelectric elements are bonded to permanent magnets, which are attached to the surface of a steel cantilever beam through their magnetic attraction. The magnetic-piezoelectric control mounts provide a viable alternative to traditional epoxy attachment methods for piezoelectric elements which allows for easy in-the-field reconfiguration. The resonant shunt technique is used to demonstrate the control mounts' vibration characteristics, and a finite element model, which accounts for the contact stiffness between the beam and control |

American Mammalogists: Dian Fossey $9.43 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Dian Fossey (pronounced , January 16, 1932 December 26, 1985) was an American zoologist who undertook an extensive study of gorilla groups over a period of 18 years. She studied them daily in the mountain forests of Rwanda, initially encouraged to work there by famous anthropologist Louis Leakey. She was murdered in 1985, by unknown assailants; the case remains open. Along with Jane Goodall and Birut Galdikas, she was part of the so called Leakey's Angels, a group of three prominent researchers on primates (Fossey on Gorillas; Goodall on Chimpanzees; and Galdikas on Orangutans) sent by archaeologist Louis Leakey to study these animals in their natural environments. On September 24, 1967, Fossey founded the Karisoke Research Center, a remote rainforest camp nestled in Ruhengeri province. Kari for the first four letters of Mt. Karisimbi that overlooked her camp from the south, and soke for the last four letters of Mt. Visoke, the slopes of which rose to the north, directly behind camp. Established 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) up Mount Visoke, the defined study area covered 25 square kilometres (9.7 sq mi). She became known by locals as Nyirmachabelli, roughly translated as "The woman who lives alone on the mountain." When her photograph, taken by Bob Campbell, appeared on the cover of National Geographic Magazine in January 1970, Fossey became an international celebrity, bringing massive publicity to her cause of saving the mountain gorilla from extinction, as well as convincing the general public that gorillas are not as bad as they are sometimes depicted in movies and books. Photographs showing the gorilla "Peanuts" touching Fossey's hand depicted the first recorded peaceful contact between a human being and a wild gorilla. Her extraordinary rappo... More: |
