 Amazon.comIn Songdogs, his first novel, Colum McCann, who divides his time between Ireland and America, explores the tensions created by movement between such different worlds. The thematic thread in this collection of short stories is much the same--thelonging to escape from, and the pull toward, a fixed and central point. Sometimes the theme is explored through travel: a survivor of Hiroshima emigrates to western Ireland, but always feels the blast of that defining moment; a young Irishwoman moves frenetically through America in search of tranquillity. Sometimes the motion is within the mind, as it is for the paralyzed cyclist who discards his bike after realizing that "the only thing it could be ridden with was a perfect cadence of the imagination."Book Description The short fiction of Colum McCann documents a dizzying cast of characters in exile, loss, love, and displacement. There is the worn boxing champion who steals clothes from a New Orleans laundromat, the rumored......

Корабль призраков Виктория Платова
 АСТ, Астрель. От дорогостоящего экстремального тура охоты на тюленей в северных морях можно ждать чего угодно: респектабельных спутников, потрясающих впечатлений, но никак не того, что из охотника ты сам можешь превратиться в добычу. И тем не менее все именно так и происходит, - участники необычного круиза оказываются пленниками корабля, команда которого исчезла, а механизмы - мертвы. А в скором времени оказываются мертвы и люди: кто-то методично, безжалостной без всякой видимой цели убивает пассажиров судна. И противостоять убийствам невозможно. Единственная мысль - кто следующий? - сводит с ума оставшихся в живых. Круг подозреваемых сокращается по мере того, как появляются новые жертвы. Будет ли убийца найден до того, как погибнет последний пассажир?.. Заключительная книга из серии о Еве, героине телесериала "Охота на Золушку"....

Analytical Methods of Electroacoustic Music (Studies on New Music Research) Mary Simoni
 Book Description This collection of essays on electroacoustic music explores the creative possibilities to be found in various forms of musical analysis. Taking pitch, duration, intensity, and timbre as the four basic elements of music, the authors discuss electroacoustic works.

They take into consideration both the positive (preservation of the abstract) and negative (creative limitation) aspects of these analytical methods. This text contains extensive artwork serving as demonstration, as well as a DVD with sound and video clips....
