James Goodwin - Böcker

Among early directors, Sergei Eisenteinstands alone as the maker of a fully historical cinema. James Goodwin treatsissues of revolutionary history and historical representation as central toan understanding of Eisentein's work, which explores two movements within Soviethistory and consciousness: the Bolshevik Revolution and the Stalinist state.Goodwin articulates intersectionsbetween Eisentein's ideas and aspects of the thought of Walter Benjamin, GeorgLukÁcs, Ernst Bloch, and Bertolt Brecht. He also shows how the formalproperties and filmic techniques of each work reveal perspectives on history. Individual chapters focus on Strike, Battleship Potemkin, October, Old and New, projects of the 1930s, Alexander Nevsky, and Ivan the Terrible.

From blood to milk, pumice to gelatine, most scientists interact with colloids on a daily basis without any real knowledge of their nature. Building on the success of the first edition, Colloids and Interfaces with Surfactants and Polymers Second Edition is a user-friendly, non-technical introduction to colloids and interfaces. Includes: Many practical examples of colloid and interface scienceAn enhanced section on fluorescence microscopy, a widely used technique in biological systems for the optical imaging of cellular structuresA new section on phenomenology (the principle of time/temperature superposition), which enables the experimentalist to extend the frequency range of their rheological instrumentsNew information on sedimentation and strategies for the control of sedimentation, which is critical in many dispersions of commercial importanceFresh treatments of traditional theoretical topics like the electrical double-layer, colloidal interactions, wetting behavior and light scattering, as well as more recent advances in polymer science, statistical mechanics and the use of neutronsIn-depth discussions of widely used techniques with mathematics used in a straight-forward way so quantitative descriptions of colloid and interface properties can be derivedColloids and Interfaces with Surfactants and Polymers Second Edition explains all the fundamental concepts of colloids and interfaces as well as detailing some of the more advanced aspects which might be useful in specific applications. Intended for undergraduate and graduate courses in colloids and soft materials, the book is also relevant to those in the chemical, coatings, cosmetics, ceramics, food, pharmaceutical and oil industries.For Powerpoint slides of all the figures in the book, please see the Instructor Companion website at http://bcs.wiley.com/he-bcs/Books?action=index&bcsId=5121&itemId=0470518804

In Akira Kurosawa and Intertextual Cinema, James Goodwin draws on contemporary theoretical and critical approaches to explore the Japanese director's use of a variety of texts to create films that are uniquely intertextual and intercultural. Surveying all of Kurosawa's films and examining six films in depth- The Idiot, The Lower Depths, Rashomon, Ikiru, Throne of Blood, and Ran-Goodwin finds in Kurosawa's themes and techniques the capacity to restructure perceptions of Western and Japanese cultures and to establish new meanings in each.

'Some people improve mentally with age - here's how you can be one of them.' Mail on Sunday'More than a game-changer, this book's a no-brainer for anyone who wants to optimise their brain.' Piers MorganWith a new chapter on Covid and the Brain, this is the definitive guide to keeping your brain healthy for a long and lucid life, by one of the world's leading scientists in the field of brain health and ageing.The brain is our most vital and complex organ. It controls and coordinates our actions, thoughts and interactions with the world around us. It is the source of personality, of our sense of self, and it shapes every aspect of our human experience.Yet most of us know precious little about how our brains actually work, or what we can do to optimise their performance. Whilst cognitive decline is the biggest long-term health worry for many of us, practical knowledge of how to look after our brain is thin on the ground.In this ground-breaking new book, leading expert Professor James Goodwin explains how simple strategies concerning exercise, diet, social life and sleep can transform your brain health paradigm, and shows how you can keep your brain youthful and stay sharp across your life. Combining the latest scientific research with insightful storytelling and practical advice, Supercharge Your Brain reveals everything you need to know about how your brain functions, and what you can do to keep it in peak condition.

"This major new work is thought, spirit and sense (in every sense) ‘fleshed out’ in ‘all the corners’ by being unmade – as poetry, as music, as (black and white) images, and as attention to the interconnected circuitries the One has with the social, historical and environmental ‘to / link us outside’." - Emily CritchleyFor fans of: Nathaniel Mackey, Fred Moten, Will Alexander, D. S. Mariott This is a book of poems and an essay infused with the tempos of Grime music and black radical thought.
