In Dryden''s writing, enthusiasm is a source of literary authority. It signals divinely inspired literary creativity. It is central to Dryden''s theoretical defences of the relationship between literature and the passions. It is also crucial to his poetic practice in a variety of genres, from odes to religious poems to translations. Enthusiasm, for Dryden, ultimately enables literature to break into regions of knowledge beyond rational human comprehension. Yet afterthe rise of radical sectarianism in the 1640s and 1650s, where claims of inspiration legitimised challenges to established political authority, enthusiasm also carried dangerous theological and political connotations. In Dryden''s writing, enthusiasm is thus also a pejorative term. It is used to attackpolitical radicals and religious dissenters. In the aftermath of the Civil Wars, it is at the root of many perceived threats to the stability of the Restoration state.This book explores the paradoxical place of enthusiasm in Dryden''s writing and the role he conceived for it in art and society after the violent upheavals of the mid seventeenth century. Works from across his oeuvre are explored, from his early essays and heroic plays to his translations, via new readings of his famous political and religious poems. These are read alongside other major writers of the period, like Milton, and less well-known authors, such as John Dennis. The book suggests newways of conceptualising the relationship between literary practice and ideological allegiance in Restoration England. It reveals Dryden to be a writer who was consistently interested in the limits of what literature could express, what feelings it could provoke, and what it could make people believe ata time when such questions were of uncertain political importance. 1 052 kr

Pulmonary Gas Exchange, Volume I: Ventilation, Blood Flow, and Diffusion considers the mechanisms of gas exchange in the lung. This volume is composed of nine chapters that particularly discuss the roles of ventilation, blood flow, and diffusion in pulmonary gas exchange. The opening chapter briefly traces the history of the chemistry and physics of pulmonary gas exchange. The next two chapters are devoted to the momentous developments that took place near the end of the Second World War advances which established the modern basis of gas. The remaining chapters describe the mechanism of gas exchange in the alveoli, how it crosses the blood-gas barrier, and the way in which ventilation-perfusion relationships determine the efficiency of exchange. This book will be of great benefit to pulmonologists and researchers in the biomedical field. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2021

When Special Agent Joe Bird of the National Park Service agrees to take a much needed vacation, he gets visited by an FBI Special Agent who requests his assistance investigating the questionable financial activities of a megachurch located in Bird's jurisdiction in North Carolina. Bird joins forces to determine the extent of the suspected criminal enterprise near Nantahala Lake in Macon County. The good news is that FBI Special Agent Clint Robinson just happens to be his brother-in-law. The bad news is Bird's physician wife informs him that a very strange disease has begun spreading in the community and its origin seems to be associated with the megachurch. Meanwhile, as their undercover investigation begins to unfold, illnesses and bodies begin piling up around Joe's region in alarming numbers. In the space of two short weeks, they encounter obstacles thrown at them by nature and situations that come perilously close to them losing their own lives. They are left to trust their own instincts to survive. The Procopius Event for the first time brings together two powerful special investigation agents in a riveting story that unfolds with furious momentum. It doesn't take Joe and Clint long to find out they are on the trail of a preacher who is a master conman who has been committing theft and fraud for years in the community without notice. Worse, their quarry is a sociopath with a twisted mind, and - as they close in on him and his wife - they will come to find out how stunningly depraved and ruthless he really is. - E-bokEngelska, 2021

Joe Bird is a maverick federal agent who has solved a lot of criminal cases, but his two latest investigations have him stymied. They are both way beyond unusual. The first is the murder of a homeless man in a campground that brings predation, cruelty, and violence to a whole new level. An itinerant teenager is arrested, found guilty and sent to prison for the heinous crime. The only problem: Bird and the young man's eccentric defense lawyer both believe the teenager is innocent, even though he confessed under pressure - but they can't prove it. Bird is then thrust into a second investigation involving a master criminal who steals a Brinks armored truck carrying $15M. The devious thief dumps $8M into a river as a diversion, then hides the rest. Bird catches the thief, but he refuses to divulge where the missing $7M in loot is hidden. He is tried, convicted, and sentenced to prison for 15 years; as fate would have it, he lands in the same jail cell as the teenager. What do the two unlikely cellmates end up having in common: Exactly nothing, except they both must survive in their own way. While in prison both men learn that sometimes life doesn't start with a success story. Often, it starts with failure and violence. They discover it doesn't need to remain that way, because it's never too late to make your life worth living by creating value for both yourself and others in the future. This the story of how Tobias Hawkins overcomes incredible hardship, failure, and mistakes on his way to success. He learns no matter how terrible the things a person has done in life, there's always room to make life worth living. Anyone can change. He recognizes that the ability to create value in the future doesn't have to be prohibited by vices of the pastthe only time anybody truly fails is when they stop trying to do betterto be better. One of the largest treasure hunts in history ensues as the FBI, state investigators and thousands of treasure hunters trek years through the forests of North Carolina, searching old, abandoned houses, caves, and storage units for the hidden money. The hunt is on but only one person will ever find it, and after his release from prison he is determined to right some of the wrongs of his former life. The theme of this story is about redemption, forgiveness, and second chanceslife is a series of choices, and for every act of injustice there is justice around the corner.
