Cornelius Cardew is an enigma. Depending on which sources one consults he is either an influential and iconic figure of British musical culture or a marginal curiosity, a footnote to a misguided musical phenomenon. He is both praised for his uncompromising commitment to world-changing politics, and mocked for being blindly caught up in a maelstrom of naïve political folly. His works are both widely lauded as landmark achievements of the British avant-garde and ridiculed as an archaic and irrelevant footnote to the established musical culture. Even the events of his death are shrouded in mystery and lack a sense of closure. As long ago as 1967, Morton Feldman cited Cardew as an influential figure, central to the future of modern music-making. The extent to which Cardew has been a central figure and a force for new ideas in music forms the backbone to this book. Harris demonstrates that Cardew was an original thinker, a charismatic leader, an able facilitator, and a committed activist. He argues that Cardew exerted considerable influence on numerous individuals and groups, but also demonstrates how the composer's significance has been variously underestimated, undermined and misrepresented. Cardew's diverse body of work and activity is here given coherence by its sharing in the values and principles that underpinned the composer's world view. The apparently disparate and contradictory episodes of Cardew's career are shown to be fused by a cohesive 'Cardew aesthetic' that permeates the man, his politics and his music.

A Simple Guide - Synopsis
One of the most brilliant and well-known scientists of all time, Albert Einstein, said, "If you can''t explain it simply, you don''t understand it well enough." Tony Harris proves with this concise guide that he does understand his subject matter very well indeed. The book he has written will inspire a whole new generation of scientists - a generation that will span all age groups.
A Simple Guide to Popular Physics does exactly what the title promises - it delves into the mind-boggling world of particles, quantum physics and cosmology in a clear and user-friendly way.
Have you ever asked yourself why, if the atoms that make up all matter consist mainly of empty space, structures don''t collapse and you don''t fall through your living room floor? Are you fascinated by the relativity between time and space? Perhaps you''ve wondered whether antimatter really exists, and if so, where is it? Where does it come from? Is it capable of existence as we understand the word? Is our reality even real?
Tony Harris answers these questions and many more with this book, breaking concepts down into simple components and explaining each in user-friendly terms. Whatever your age, this concise guide will provide you with the background and the confidence you need to find out more, whether it be about the very tiny - particle physics and quantum mechanics - or the unimaginable massive, such as cosmology and the Big Bang.
A Simple Guide is here to whet your appetite. It aims to give you a broad overview of the basics of particles, quantum physics and cosmology, introducing you to experiments conducted by some of the greatest scientists the world has known along with the work they have done. Armed with this solid grounding, you will then be in a good position to expand your knowledge.
The wonderful world of science is accessible to everyone. A Simple Guide provides the grounding; all you need to add is an enquiring mind.
BOOKLIFE REVIEW. Harris''s inviting guide promises to give "absolute beginners" from "teens to centenarians" a basic grounding in particle physics, quantum physics, and cosmology-all without making readers do math. With the goal of introducing the basics and encouraging readers to explore more deeply afterwards, Harris notes "Like the fish we have no notion of what is beyond the boundaries of our knowledge, but unlike the fish, we know there is something." He starts by presenting those boundaries, the fundamentals of classic physics (Newton''s law, states of matter, types of energy), with crisp clarity before laying out an accessible explanation of Einstein''s theory of relativity, the structure of the atom, and the mysteries of quantum mechanics.
Inviting and illuminating, this introduction to physics truly targets the reader who is entirely new to the subject.

Instead, one by one, with patience and good humor, Harris introduces each of these building blocks of our universe, taking a little time to invite readers to contemplate the momentousness of the information, as in the chapter titled nothing less than "What Is Reality?"The watchword, here, is clarity, which Harris offers throughout, with professional illustrations and illuminating accounts of experiments and breakthroughs, offering a solid foundation for understanding and future reading.

Corpus Linguistics in Language Teaching
Häftad, Engelska, 2010

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Derived from the successful International Seminar on Corpus Linguistics, New Trends in Language Teaching and Translation Studies: In Honour of John Sinclair (Granada, September 2008), organised by the research groups ADELEX (Assessing and Developing Lexical Competence) and ECPC (European Comparable and Parallel Corpora), seven contributions from well-known scholars in the field focus their attention on recent advances made in Corpus Linguistics in Language Teaching. The first four chapters deal with more practical issues of applying corpora to language learning and teaching, examining particularly the integration of data-driven learning and different types of corpora including pedagogical, spoken multimedia and parallel. The last three chapters are concerned more with corpus-based research for language teaching arguing for more refined statistical methodology, comparing conversational features of the British National Corpus with a micro-corpus of movies and forwarding the case for research into corpus-based, meaning-oriented multimodal annotation, respectively. This volume is homage to John Sinclair’s academic legacy and the groundbreaking work which continues to honour his name.

Adherens Junctions: from Molecular Mechanisms to Tissue Development and Disease

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Cell–cell adhesion is fundamental for the development and homeostasis of animal tissues and organs. Adherens junctions (AJs) are the best understood cell-cell adhesion complexes. In this volume, a group of internationally recognized experts reviews AJ biology over a wide range of organization; from atoms to molecules, to protein complexes, molecular networks, cells, tissues, and overall animal development. AJs have also been an integral part of animal evolution, and play central roles in cancer development, pathogen infection and other diseases. This book addresses major questions encompassing AJ biology. • How did AJs evolve? • How do cadherins and catenins interact to assemble AJs and mediate adhesion? • How do AJs interface with other cellular machinery to couple adhesion with the whole cell? • How do AJs affect cell behaviour and multicellular development? • How can abnormal AJ activity lead to disease?
