Найти книгу: "Driven toward Madness"

Margaret Garner was the runaway slave who, when confronted with capture just outside of Cincinnati, slit the throat of her toddler daughter rather than have her face a life in slavery. Her story has inspired Toni Morrison’s Beloved, a film based on the novel starring Oprah Winfrey, and an opera. Yet, her life has defied solid historical treatment. In Driven toward Madness, Nikki M. Taylor brilliantly captures her circumstances and her transformation from a murdering mother to an icon of tragedy and resistance. Taylor, the first African American woman to write a history of Garner, grounds her approach in black feminist theory. She melds history with trauma studies to account for shortcomings in the written record. In so doing, she rejects distortions and fictionalized images; probes slavery’s legacies of sexual and physical violence and psychic trauma in new ways; and finally fleshes out a figure who had been rendered an apparition.

Данная книга посвящена новейшей технологии разработки приложений баз данных в Delphi, основанной на концепции архитектуры, управляемой моделями (Model Driven Architecture — MDA). Читатель познакомится с идеологией MDA в целом, освоит базовые основы языка UML, познакомится с мощным и лаконичным диалектом языка OCL, благодаря которому гораздо легче и быстрее решаются задачи доступа к данным, чем при традиционной разработке с применением SQL-запросов. В книге подробно, с разбором множества конкретных примеров, описываются практические шаги по созданию MDA-приложений в Delphi Читатель на практике убедится, как быстро и просто можно создавать сложные приложения, работающие практически с любой СУБД, при этом зачастую вообще не используя SQL и в ряде случаев даже не прибегая к написанию программного кода. Книга в первую очередь адресована читателям, знакомым с традиционными подходами создания приложений баз данных в Delphi, однако она может быть полезна и всем тем, кто желает познакомиться с принципиально новой технологией создания приложений в XXI веке — MDA.

The Barren, windswept interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless – or so the expedition from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found the strange fossils of unheard-of creatures and the carved stones tens of millions of years old.

On an expedition to Antarctica, Professor William Dyer and his colleagues discover the remains of ancient half-vegetable, half-animal life-forms. The extremely early date in the geological strata is surprising because of the highly-evolved features found in these previously unknown life-forms. Through a series of dark revelations, violent episodes, and misunderstandings, the group learns of Earth&#39;s secret history and legacy.<br>At the Mountains of Madness is a very good introduction to Lovecraft&#39;s mythology of the Old Ones and the glories and horrors that preceded humankind and that still linger in places.
