Design and Truth in Autobiography

By: Roy Pascal

Originally published in 1960. Is there an art of autobiography? What are its origins and how has it come to acquire the form we know today? For what does the autobiographer seek, and why should it be so popular? This study suggests some of the answers to these questions. It takes the view that autobiography is one of the dominant and characteristic forms of literary self-expression and deserves examination for its own sake. This book outlines a definition of the form and traces its historical origins and development, analyses its ‘truth’ and talks about what sort of self-knowledge it investigates.

Against the Modern

Dagnan-Bouveret and the Transformation of the Academic Tradition

By: Gabriel P. Weisberg,Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret

The exhibition at the Dahesh Museum that the publication of this book celebrates is the first in a century to feature Dagnan Bouveret's work. Against the Modern pays special attention to the evolution of this artist's style and subject matter and brings to the public gaze the real diversity, accessibility - and surprising modernity - that has made Dagnan-Bouveret worthy of our attention today."--BOOK JACKET.

The Fanaticism of the Apocalypse

Save the Earth, Punish Human Beings

By: Pascal Bruckner

The planet is sick. Human beings are guilty of damaging it. We have to pay. Today, that is the orthodoxy throughout the Western world. Distrust of progress and science, calls for individual and collective self-sacrifice to ‘save the planet’ and cultivation of fear: behind the carbon commissars, a dangerous and counterproductive ecological catastrophism is gaining ground. Modern society’s susceptibility to this kind of thinking derives from what Bruckner calls “the seductive attraction of disaster,” as exemplified by the popular appeal of disaster movies. But ecological catastrophism is harmful in that it draws attention away from other, more solvable problems and injustices in the world in order to focus on something that is portrayed as an Apocalypse. Rather than preaching catastrophe and pessimism, we need to develop a democratic and generous ecology that addresses specific problems in a practical way.

Deformable Surface 3D Reconstruction from Monocular Images

By: Amit Roy-Chowdhury,Bi Song

Being able to recover the shape of 3D deformable surfaces from a single video stream would make it possible to field reconstruction systems that run on widely available hardware without requiring specialized devices. However, because many different 3D shapes can have virtually the same projection, such monocular shape recovery is inherently ambiguous. In this survey, we will review the two main classes of techniques that have proved most effective so far: The template-based methods that rely on establishing correspondences with a reference image in which the shape is already known, and non-rigid structure-from-motion techniques that exploit points tracked across the sequences to reconstruct a completely unknown shape. In both cases, we will formalize the approach, discuss its inherent ambiguities, and present the practical solutions that have been proposed to resolve them. To conclude, we will suggest directions for future research.

Medicine, Faith and Politics in Agogo

A History of Health Care Delivery in Rural Ghana, Ca. 1925 to 1980

By: Pascal Schmid

Medicine, Faith and Politics in Agogo examines the development of health care delivery at a former mission hospital in Ghana. It reveals the configurations of interests, values, and ideologies that shaped the development and implementation of health care practices, strategies, and concepts. By providing an in-depth analysis, the book contributes a particular perspective on the history of health care delivery in rural Africa and beyond. It addresses topics that are still heavily under-researched. These include the 'decolonisation' of health care as well as the development and implementation of medical concepts for 'developing countries' such as primary health care. Dissertation. (Series: Swiss African Studies / Schweizerische Afrikastudien / Etudes africaines suisses, Vol. 13) [Subject: African Studies, History, Religious Studies, Health Care Studies, Sociology]

Gallic Noir

Volume 3

By: Pascal Garnier

The third volume of the collected works of ‘the true heir to Simenon’, the late French noir writer Pascal Garnier. 'Deliciously dark … painfully funny' New York Times Enter the world of Pascal Garnier, where life's misfits take centre stage, there is drama in the everyday and the unexpected is always just around the corner. Volume 3 includes The Eskimo Solution, in which a struggling writer's life becomes disconcertingly entangled with the crime novel he’s writing; Low Heights, in which vultures circle as a cantankerous retiree falls for his nurse and finds himself confronted with a man claiming to be his long-lost son; and Too Close to the Edge, the tale of a quiet retirement in the foothills of the Alps turned upside down. Dark, funny and shot through with menace, these perfectly crafted novellas of Gallic noir are also affecting studies in human alienation.

GAGTA BOOK 1

By: Frédérique Bassino,Ilya Kapovich,Markus Lohrey,Alexei Miasnikov,Cyril Nicaud,Andrey Nikolaev,Igor Rivin,Vladimir Shpilrain,Alexander Ushakov,Pascal Weil

This book shows new directions in group theory motivated by computer science. It reflects the transition from geometric group theory to group theory of the 21st century that has strong connections to computer science. Now that geometric group theory is drifting further and further away from group theory to geometry, it is natural to look for new tools and new directions in group theory which are present.

Cyberstalker

The Return of William White

By: Laurie John,Francine Pascal

When the Virtual Reality Fair arrived on the SVU quad, Elizabeth Wakefield thought it sounded like an extreme waste of time. That was before Elizabeth's twin sister, Jessica, convinced her to give virtual reality a try. That was before Elizabeth saw...him. He appeared from out of nowhere, a glowing figure with an achingly beautiful face and a wickedly familiar grin. A man she once loved--and feared. A man she thought was dead. But something evil was set into motion the day Elizabeth entered virtual reality...and it's not going to stop until he says it's over. He's William White. And he's not playing dead anymore....

A Linear-time Algorithm for Testing Outer-1-planarity

By: Seok-Hee Hong,Peter Eades,Naoki Katoh,Giuseppe Liotta,Pascal Schweitzer,Yusuke Suzuki

A graph is 1-planar if it can be embedded in the plane with at most one crossing per edge. A graph is outer-1-planar if it has an embedding in which every vertex is on the outer face and each edge has at most one crossing. We present a linear time algorithm to test whether a graph is outer-1-planar. The algorithm can be used to produce an outer-1-planar embedding in linear time if it exists.
