The History of Russian Literature on Film

By: Marina Korneeva,David Gillespie

Unlike most previous studies of literature and film, which tend to privilege particular authors, texts, or literary periods, David Gillespie and Marina Korneeva consider the multiple functions of filmed Russian literature as a cinematic subject in its own right-one reflecting the specific political and aesthetic priorities of different national and historical cinemas. In this first and only comprehensive study of cinema's various engagements of Russian literature focusing on the large period 1895-2015, The History of Russian Literature on Film highlights the ways these adaptations emerged from and continue to shape the social, artistic, and commercial aspects of film history.

The Christina Psalter

A Study of the Images and Texts in a French Early Thirteenth-century Illuminated Manuscript

By: Marina Vidas

This book is the first detailed analysis of an exquisitely illuminated thirteenth-century Parisian manuscript (The Royal Library, Copenhagen) which was owned by Christina of Norway (1234-1262), daughter of Håkon IV and wife of Philip of Castile and León. New information is provided about the Psalter?'s medieval and later components, its liturgical and other functions, missing illuminations and texts, as well as its provenance and date. Furthermore, the stylistic and iconographic similarities between the Psalter and some of the most important manuscripts illuminated in Paris in the Period, like the three-volume Moralized Bibles, are discussed. Suggestions also are made about the meanings the texts and images might have had for their intended audience.

Handbook of Immunological Properties of Engineered Nanomaterials

By: Marina Dobrovolskaia

The Handbook of Immunological Properties of Engineered Nanomaterials provides a comprehensive overview of the current literature, methodologies, and translational and regulatory considerations in the field of nanoimmunotoxicology. The main subject is the immunological properties of engineered nanomaterials. Focus areas include interactions between engineered nanomaterials and red blood cells, platelets, endothelial cells, professional phagocytes, T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, complement and coagulation systems, and plasma proteins, with discussions on nanoparticle sterility and sterilization. Each chapter presents a broad literature review of the given focus area, describes protocols and resources available to support research in the individual focus areas, highlights challenges, and outlines unanswered questions and future directions. In addition, the Handbook includes an overview of and serves a guide to the physicochemical characterization of engineered nanomaterials essential to conducting meaningful immunological studies of nanoparticles. Regulations related to immunotoxicity testing of materials prior to their translation into the clinic are also reviewed.The Handbook is written by top experts in the field of nanomedicine, nanotechnology, and translational bionanotechnology, representing academia, government, industry, and consulting organizations, and regulatory agencies. The Handbook is designed to serve as a textbook for students, a practical guide for research laboratories, and an informational resource for scientific consultants, reviewers, and policy makers. It is written such that both experts and beginners will find the information highly useful and applicable.

The Distance from Me to You

By: Marina Gessner

Wild meets Endless Love in this multilayered story of love, survival, and self-discovery McKenna Berney is a lucky girl. She has a loving family and has been accepted to college for the fall. But McKenna has a different goal in mind: much to the chagrin of her parents, she defers her college acceptance to hike the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia with her best friend. And when her friend backs out, McKenna is determined to go through with the dangerous trip on her own. While on the Trail, she meets Sam. Having skipped out on an abusive dad and quit school, Sam has found a brief respite on the Trail, where everyone’s a drifter, at least temporarily. Despite lives headed in opposite directions, McKenna and Sam fall in love on an emotionally charged journey of dizzying highs and devastating lows. When their punch-drunk love leads them off the trail, McKenna has to persevere in a way she never thought possible to beat the odds or risk both their lives.

The Distance from me to you

Roman

By: Marina Gessner

Kendra kann sich glücklich schätzen. Sie hat gerade die Highschool abgeschlossen und ab Herbst wartet ein Platz in einem namhaften College auf sie. Doch zum Leidwesen ihrer Eltern verfolgt die Siebzehnjährige ein völlig anderes Ziel: Gemeinsam mit ihrer besten Freundin will sie in den nächsten Monaten den Appalachian Trail erwandern, und der führt 3.500 km von Maine bis nach Georgia. Als ihre Freundin im letzten Moment einen Rückzieher macht, beschließt Kendra, das gefährliche Abenteuer alleine durchzuziehen. Unterwegs trifft sie Sam, der vor seinem gewalttätigen Vater geflohen und nun auf dem Trail gestrandet ist. Er läuft den langen Weg scheinbar ziellos und hält sich mit Gelegenheitsjobs über Wasser. Zwischen Kendra und Sam entwickelt sich langsam eine Liebesgeschichte, die so abwechslungsreich ist, wie der Weg: Sie hat Höhen und Tiefen, wunderschöne Ausblicke und gefährliche Abgründe. Doch als Kendra und Sam die markierten Wege verlassen, begeben sich die beiden in eine Gefahr, bei der schnell nicht nur ihre Liebe, sondern auch ihr Leben auf dem Spiel steht ...
