Book Description
"Kid, you're too young, too punk, and too female to be in a real rock and roll band." When an audition for a guitarist's position in an established group goes sour with one snide sentence, 16-year-old Reina Kawamura is determined to start her own punk rock band. With her older brother's hand-me-down Strat in hand, her experiences witnessing the California punk scene a few years earlier, and her best friends at her side and on stage with her, the group starts off as a semi-serious lark. As time goes on, the experiences Reina goes through as a musician and a person in the ensuing months end up changing her life - on and off stage - for the better.

Nanoscopy and Nanospectroscopy
Author: Sandip Dhara
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000845818
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
This book builds a narrative on the near-field optical and spectroscopic studies with an emphasis on plasmonic- and photonic-assisted nano-optics as a tool for superlensing. Deliberations on near-field studies using confined light in various applications are included along with their commercial implications. Single-molecule detection utilizing efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering phenomenon in the far-field and plasmonic tip-enhanced Raman scattering studies in the near-field measurements for fast analysis up to trace level is discussed. Features: Covers the broad area of nano-optical spectroscopy from the perspective of putting the concepts and innovations in the field to use. Discusses entire spectra of near-field optics and spectroscopy using light. Explores gas/chemical sensing using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in the Kretschmann configuration. Includes dielectric nano-photonics and optical confinement. Studies phonon behaviour using confined light for the analysis of chemical, biological, and other materials. This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in material science, analytical chemistry, nanotechnology, and electrical engineering.

Expressive Painting with Anne-Marie Esson
Author: Anne-Marie Esson
Publisher: Sterling Publishing Company
ISBN: 9781600590955
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Anne-Marie Esson--painter, instructor, and host of the Public Television series Painting with Anne-Marie--takes the intimidation out of a blank canvas! She has developed an amazingly effective step-by-step painting method that can teach any interested student how to create stylish works of art. The process begins with sketches of the subject, followed by a color wash. Then, layer shadows to add depth; bring the image to life with highlights; and finish up with painted accents. Each skill is extensively explained, and seven complete paintings (two floral still lifes and a seaside landscape, beach scene, boat, harbor, and lighthouse) are shown with the key stages stepped out to clarify the techniques. In addition, there’s advice on setting up a proper workstation and creative exercises for inspiration.

Book Description
Child in the Road is a mother’s response to the sudden death of her young daughter, a rendering of the wide range of emotions experienced afterwards--not description, but an expression of grief from its center. The poems pull vivid imagery from the deepest layers of the unconscious, postcards from a sleepwalker unable to find rest, waking again and again in the wrong story. Who is alive and who is dead? What does it mean to go on living, “eyes searching / under the earth”?

Color, Space, and Creativity
Author: Jack Stewart
Publisher: Associated University Presse
ISBN: 9780838641651
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
"This study of Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Joyce Cary, Lawrence Durrell, and A. S. Byatt focuses on color, space, and creativity in selected novels, stories, travel texts, essays, and letters." "Stewart highlights a nexus of color, space, and creativity that takes on ontological dimensions in the writing of five writers who are linked by stylistic affinities and correspondingly calibrated sensibilities. They engage writing with painting and their acts of attention converge in a zone where color, space, and creativity sustain the imaginative life-world of their characters. This study should lead to ongoing reflections on the roles of color and space in modernist and postmodernist texts and direct attention to the subtle and pervasive interactions of literature with painting."--BOOK JACKET.

Improbable Journeys
Author: Robin Magowan
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810160927
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
All writers risk their identities, some with each sentence. But abroad, writing about a life that can't help but seem elusive, the charlatan in oneself may feel all too exposed. Limited to the surface, to the most fortuitous of impressions, how can a foreign pair of eyes hope to pen anything that can vie with something an insider, born there, carrying that landscape in his bones, might write? For more than four decades, poet Robin Magowan has journeyed in search of ecstatic spiritual experiences. Hitchhiking and walking, by bus or boat or when necessary by horse, he has explored lands as exotic as Nepal and New Guinea, as classic as Italy or France, and as forgotten as Persia and pre-Castro Cuba. All the while he has submerged himself, whether in the mysteries of Haitian voodoo or the simples pleasures of Burgundian peasant life. Known for the beauty, wit, and expressive power of his prose, Magowan's writing vibrates with the intensity of an outsider who crawls into the skin of a country--and emerges transformed.
