»Vilka författare influerade mig som ung? Tjechov. Som dramatiker? Tjechov! Som prosaist? Tjechov!« | TENNESSEE WILLIAMSI Sverige är han mest känd för sina dramer, men internationellt är Anton Tjechov minst lika inflytelserik som prosaist. Den mer stämningsorienterade persongestaltningen, den impressionistiska miljöskildringen och ett verklighetsbegrepp som är beroende av perspektiv - allt detta pekar fram emot såväl modernism som postmodernism. Stäppen, En okänd människas berättelse och Tre år är vårt urval av Tjechovs klassiska kortromaner. I översättning av Ellen Rydelius och Staffan Dahl, och med ett nyskrivet förord av författaren och översättaren Nils Håkanson.ANTON TJECHOV [1860-1904] var en rysk författare och läkare. I Sverige är han mest känd för sina dramer. I andra länder, av olika anledningar särskilt i engelskspråkiga länder, är han mest berömd för sin prosa. Fler av modernismens största författare, som James Joyce och William Faulkner, anger honom som en av sina största inspirationskällor.»Den moderna prosan börjar med Tjechov, Joyce, Conrad och James.« | JOYCE CAROL OATES»Av författare från hans tid beundrar jag Tjechov mest han tillförde litteraturen något helt nytt.« | JAMES JOYCE»Det finns en prosaist jag tveklöst skulle kalla ett geni: Tjechov. Ingen skrev som Tjechov innan han gjorde entré. Och när han försvann hade han förändrat allt.« | WILLIAM BOYD, The Observer 2007»Läsa Tjechov var som att höra änglar sjunga för mig.« | EUDORA WELTY»Hos Tjechov fungerar allt luft, ljus, kyla, smuts, etc.« | FLANNERY O 'CONNOR

This carefully edited volume is the outcome of the eleventh edition of the Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics (WAFR), which is the premier venue showcasing cutting edge research in algorithmic robotics.

This carefully edited volume is the outcome of the eleventh edition of the Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics (WAFR), which is the premier venue showcasing cutting edge research in algorithmic robotics. The eleventh WAFR, which was held August 3-5, 2014 at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey continued this tradition. This volume contains extended versions of the 42 papers presented at WAFR. These contributions highlight the cutting edge research in classical robotics problems (e.g.  manipulation, motion, path, multi-robot and kinodynamic planning), geometric and topological computation in robotics as well novel applications such as informative path planning, active sensing and surgical planning.  This book - rich by topics and authoritative contributors - is a unique reference on the current developments and new directions in the field of algorithmic foundations.

Robot algorithms are abstractions of computational processes that control or reason about motion and perception in the physical world. Because actions in the physical world are subject to physical laws and geometric constraints, the design and analysis of robot algorithms raise a unique combination of questions in control theory, computational and differential geometry, and computer science. Algorithms serve as a unifying theme in the multi-disciplinary field of robotics. This volume consists of selected contributions to the sixth Workshop on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics. This is a highly competitive meeting of experts in the field of algorithmic issues related to robotics and automation.

A fully illustrated biography of Max Verstappen, from karting in the junior races at age 10 to his third time winning the world championship at the end of 2023.Max’s journey to Formula 1 stardom was not a typical one. His parents are both motorsport talents. He was born in Belgium to mum Sophie Kumpen, a champion karter, while dad Jos Verstappen was Benetton team-mate to Michael Schumacher and survived perhaps the scariest F1 pitlane incident when his car caught fire during a refuelling stop.As well as being good team-mates, his dad and Michael Schumacher became great friends over the years. Max grew up going on family holidays with Schumacher and his son, fellow F1 star Mick.Max broke all the records for youngest driver after he made his official debut in 2015, including youngest ever driver to win an F1 race after he transferred from Red Bull’s junior team Toro Rosso to Red Bull in 2016.However, his move was at the expense of Daniil Kvyat who was demoted to Toro Rosso in his place. Verstappen then started dating Kvyat’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, and is now stepfather to Kvyat’s son. Complicated to say the least!Max’s career has barely spanned a decade and he’s already gained the title of the most popular Formula One driver. With incredible skills on the track and a legion of travelling Dutch fans, he’s a force to be reckoned with and the one to watch in racing.This fully illustrated biography explores his youth karting through to the end of the 2023 season, interspersed with 10 key races, including:   His debut F1 race for Toro Rosso His wholly unexpected win on debut for the Red Bull team in 2016, the Spanish Grand Prix where Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg took themselves out on the opening lap The 2021 British Grand Prix at Silverstone where he survived a 56G deceleration as he hit the barriers at Copse corner His titanic showdown in Abu Dhabi where he won his first controversial world championship His second world championship win in 2022 His latest win and third world championship in 2023 This detailed biography with high-quality photographs is the perfect gift for any fan of the rising F1 star Max Verstappen. It’s a standout collector’s item full of impactful info about a racing maverick. Relive Max’s formative moments, racing success and explore what the future holds for this young talent. Though things are going well right now, the volatility that led him to a physical altercation with Esteban Ocon in the 2020 Brazilian Grand Prix still appears from time to time when things don’t go his way. And soon Red Bull want a team-mate who can really push him…

In 2002 widespread communal violence tore apart towns and villages in rural parts of Gujarat, India. In the aftermath, many Muslims living in Hindu-majority villages sought safety in the small town of Anand. Following such dramatic displacement, the town emerged as a site of opportunity and hope. For its residents and transnational visitors, Anand’s Muslim area is not just a site of marginalization; it has become an important focal point and regional center from which they can participate in the wider community of Gujarat and reimagine society in more inclusive terms.This compelling ethnography shows how in Anand the experience of residential segregation led not to estrangement or closure but to distinctive forms of mobility and exchange that embed Muslim residents in a variety of social networks. New Lives in Anand moves beyond established notions of ghettoization to foreground the places, practices, and narratives that are significant to the people of Anand.New Lives in Anand is available in an open access edition through the Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.Open access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295749655
