Stereospecific Polymerization of Isoprene

By: Elena Ceausescu

Stereospecific Polymerization of Isoprene, a doctoral dissertation by Dr. Elena Ceausescu, is a study of the synthesis of cis-l, 4-polyisoprene rubber, an elastomer of synthetic rubber whose structure and properties are similar to that of natural rubber. This elastomer is primarily used in the manufacture of tires, belts, hoses, matting, flooring, dampeners, and other synthetic rubber goods. The book is organized into two parts. Part I, the Ph.D. thesis, focuses on the explanation and exposition of the polymerization reaction; properties of the polymer; and certain theoretical aspects related to the polymer's reaction mechanism and kinetics. Part II presents data derived from an extensive variety of experiments and tests intended to serve as a basis for the industrial production of cis-l, 4-polyisoprene rubber. The text will be an interesting book for materials engineers, industrial engineers, chemists, and science students engaged in the study of polymers.

Cold War Perceptions

Romania’s Policy Change towards the Soviet Union, 1960-1964

By: Elena Dragomir

This book investigates Romania’s early 1960s change in policy towards the Soviet Union, focusing on two questions in particular: namely, what actually changed and why this change occurred. Drawing from recently declassified archive materials, this book utilises a perceptual approach and a paradigm which argues that post-war Romania allied not against the threat, but with the (perceived) threat – the USSR. Focusing on the proximate causes triggering this policy change, it investigates the emergence of Romania’s opposition to the USSR predominantly through two case studies – the CMEA reform process and the Sino-Soviet dispute. The book focuses on the period between 1960 and 1964, between Romania’s first categorical (albeit non-public and indirect) opposition to the USSR and the issuing of the declaration marking Romania’s first public and official (although indirect) acknowledgement of disagreements with the USSR. This book examines the proximate causes of Romania’s policy change towards the Soviet Union and their roots in Romanian leaders’ perceptions of the threats posed to the nation’s interests by various specific Soviet policies, such as the attempts to impose the CMEA integration or a strong collective riposte against China. Through its findings, the book provides new research perspectives on Romanian-Soviet post-war relations and on the role of the leaders’ beliefs in Romania’s foreign policy choices. It will also serve as a starting point for a more detailed understanding of the unusual present-day relations between Romania and the Russian Federation.

More Than Expected

By: Gabriela-Elena Mech

Ema and Bruno, two young people who have their careers as their only refuge in the absence of a successful personal life, meet each other in Romania at the conference of the multinational company they both work for. She works in Bucharest, and he in Zurich. Although they meet for business, they start developing feelings for each other, and when they say good-bye at the airport, they both hope they will meet again. This happens sooner than imagined because the air traffic is blocked by a volcanic eruption in Iceland, and Bruno finds himself unable to fly home. The evening they unexpectedly come to spend together is the beginning of a beautiful story. But its thread is broken off by an unfortunate car accident that turns their lives upside down. Exciting, likable characters come into the scene with their own secrets, which will eventually come to the surface. Their attempts to properly set the level of their expectations on the frail border between the beauty of their dreams and the fear of losing them and getting hurt take the reader through a story full of unexpected turns, with joy and pain, hope and disappointment, love and restraint.

Détente in Cold War Europe

Politics and Diplomacy in the Mediterranean and the Middle East

By: Elena Calandri,Daniele Caviglia,Antonio Varsori

The Mediterranean sea has been a key geopolitical territory in the global international relations of the twentieth century; of crucial importance to the US, the Middle East and in the history of the EU. As Cold War documents become declassified and these archives become accessible to western historians, this volume reassesses the secret war waged over three decades for control of the Mediterranean Sea. An 'American lake' in the 1950s, a battlefield for influence in the Cold War of the 1960s, and an increasingly important political arena for the oil-rich Gulf States in the 1970s, the Mediterranean offers a focal point around which the major themes and narratives of Cold War history were constructed. "Detente in Cold War Europe" draws together detailed analyses of the major moments of post-WWII history through the prism of the Mediterranean - including the signing of the Helsinki Accords in 1975, the Jordan crisis of 1970, the Soviet role in the Yom Kippur war, the Cyprus emergency of 1974, US-Soviet detente and US-Israeli relations under President Nixon. This book is a vital work for historians of the twentieth century and for those seeking to understand the importance of the Mediterranean in the political history of the Cold War.

Memory, Allegory, and Testimony in South American Theater

Upstaging Dictatorship

By: Ana Elena Puga

Memory, Allegory, and Testimony in South American Theater traces the shaping of a resistant identity in memory, its direct expression in testimony, and its indirect elaboration in two different kinds of allegory. Each chapter focuses on one contemporary playwright (or one collaborative team, in the case of Brazil) from each of four Southern Cone countries and compares the playwrights’ aesthetic strategies for subverting ideologies of dictatorship: Carlos Manuel Varela (memory in Uruguay), Juan Radrigán (testimony in Chile), Augusto Boal and his co-author Gianfrancesco Guarnieri (historical allegory in Brazil), Griselda Gambaro (abstract allegory in Argentina).

Under the Shadow of the Almighty

From Communist Romania to Freedom

By: Elena Bujor

The post-war times were hard for poor Romania, especially for the peasants. After Communism came to power, they were deprived of their most basic means of livelihood. A few years after the end of the war, the Iorga family, like many other well-to-do families, was left in poverty. By the time Elena was a toddler, the food was more and more scarce. … One day, she looked at her mother's tear-stained face in bewilderment as their food supplies were being confiscated." Life was difficult for everyone in Communist Romania but especially hard for Seventh-day Adventists. On Elena's first day of first grade, her teacher called the roll; when Elena stood and told her name, the teacher called her an "'idiot child' who believed in God, went to church on Saturday, and thought she would go to heaven. And, to make the children laugh at me, he said sarcastically, 'When the Lord comes to take you to heaven, I will cling to your foot, and I will get there, too.'" But thanks to a loving family and close-knit church family, Elena grew up secure in their love and God's love. She attended college to become a dental lab technician. Her first marriage ended in divorce, but she was left with a son, Silviu, the light of her life. After emigrating to the United States, she worked as a housekeeper and eventually found love again with Emil Bujor, who became a true father to Silviu. Elena endeavors to see and listen to God's will for her and her little family through it all. You'll laugh and cry at the ups and downs of Elena and Emil's lives as they struggle to understand and follow God's leading through the years.
