350,008 | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/350008.Function_Theory_of_One_Complex_Variable | ['Mathematics'] | Complex analysis is one of the most central subjects in mathematics. It is compelling and rich in its own right, but it is also remarkably useful in a wide variety of other mathematical subjects, both pure and applied. This book is different from others in that it treats complex variables as a direct development from multivariable real calculus. As each new idea is introduced, it is related to the corresponding idea from real analysis and calculus. The text is rich with examples and exercises that illustrate this point. The authors have systematically separated the analysis from the topology, as can be seen in their proof of the Cauchy theorem. The book concludes with several chapters on special topics, including full treatments of special functions, the prime number theorem, and the Bergman kernel. The authors also treat $H^p$ spaces and Painlevé's theorem on smoothness to the boundary for conformal maps. This book is a text for a first-year graduate course in complex analysis. It is an engaging and modern introduction to the subject, reflecting the authors' expertise both as mathematicians and as expositors. | 0821839624 | null | 9,780,821,839,621 | English | 504 | Hardcover | Function Theory of One Complex Variable: Third Edition | American Mathematical Society | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Robert E.

350,010 | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/350010.The_Geometry_of_Domains_in_Space | ['Mathematics'] | The analysis of Euclidean space is well-developed. The classical Lie groups that act naturally on Euclidean space-the rotations, dilations, and trans lations-have both shaped and guided this development. In particular, the Fourier transform and the theory of translation invariant operators (convolution transforms) have played a central role in this analysis. Much modern work in analysis takes place on a domain in space. In this context the tools, perforce, must be different. No longer can we expect there to be symmetries. Correspondingly, there is no longer any natural way to apply the Fourier transform. Pseudodifferential operators and Fourier integral operators can playa role in solving some of the problems, but other problems require new, more geometric, ideas. At a more basic level, the analysis of a smoothly bounded domain in space requires a great deal of preliminary spadework. Tubular neighbor hoods, the second fundamental form, the notion of "positive reach", and the implicit function theorem are just some of the tools that need to be invoked regularly to set up this analysis. The normal and tangent bundles become part of the language of classical analysis when that analysis is done on a domain. Many of the ideas in partial differential equations-such as Egorov's canonical transformation theorem-become rather natural when viewed in geometric language. Many of the questions that are natural to an analyst-such as extension theorems for various classes of functions-are most naturally formulated using ideas from geometry. | 0817640975 | null | 9,780,817,640,972 | English | 308 | Hardcover | The Geometry of Domains in Space | Birkhäuser | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Steven G.

In the second and third volumes, The History of Eroticism and Sovereignty, Bataille explores the same paradox of utility from an anthropological and an ethical perspective, respectively. The History of Eroticism analyzes the fears and fascination, the prohibitions and transgressions attached to the realm of eroticism as so many expressions of the "uselessness" of erotic life. | 0942299116 | null | 9,780,942,299,113 | English | 200 | Paperback | The Accursed Share: An Essay on General Economy, Volume I: Consumption | Zone Books | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Georges Bataille (Translator)', 'Robert Hurley (Author)'] | The Accursed Share: An Essay on General Economy, Volume I: Consumption | null |

Chief among them is irresistible Gigi Orsini, the high-spirited, merry, adventurous creature who grew up into enchanting womanhood in Scruples Two. Now Gigi is working as a copywriter in a new Los Angeles advertising agency, with her creative "teammate," David Melville, a brilliant young art director who joins her in seeking new accounts. The agency is headed by dashing Archie Rourke, humorous Byron Bernheim and the severely difficult beauty, Victoria Frost, daughter of the famed Millicent Frost Caldwell who, with her husband Angus Caldwell, owns one of New York's largest advertising agencies. Ben Winthrop, a proper Bostonian and an enormously successful mall builder, attempts to capture Gigi's quicksilver affections, although his fierce contenders for the same prize include both David Melville and the dominating film director, Zach Nevsky. Meanwhile, Billy Winthrop Ikehorn Orsini Elliott, the unforgettably impulsive heroine of Scruples, and her new husband, the great charmer, Spider Elliott, are busy with their own fascinating lives, as are Gigi's father, canny film producer Vito Orsini, and her best friend, the ravishing Sasha Nevsky, none of whom can be forgotten from Scruples and Scruples Two. Lovers completes all the stories set in motion in the first two novels, yet it stands entirely on its own as a slice of life in the exciting years of 1983 and 1984. | 950042293X | null | 9,789,500,422,932 | Spanish; Castilian | 440 | Paperback | Amantes / Lovers | Emece | null | [] | Series | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Judith Krantz (Author)'] | Amantes / Lovers (Spanish Edition) | null |

350,047 | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/350047.In_a_Cold_Crater | ['Germany', 'History', 'Nonfiction'] | Although the three conspicuous cultures of Berlin in the twentieth century—Weimar, Nazi, and Cold War—are well documented, little is known about the years between the fall of the Third Reich and the beginning of the Cold War. In a Cold Crater is the history of this volatile postwar moment, when the capital of the world's recently defeated public enemy assumed great emotional and symbolic meaning.
This is a story not of major intellectual and cultural achievements (for there were none in those years), but of enormous hopes and plans that failed. It is the story of members of the once famous volcano-dancing Berlin intelligentsia, torn apart by Nazism and exile, now re-encountering one another. Those who had stayed in Berlin in 1933 crawled out of the rubble, while many of the exiles returned with the Allied armies as members of the various cultural and re-educational units. All of them were eager to rebuild a neo-Weimar republic of letters, arts, and thought. Some were highly qualified and serious. Many were classic opportunists. A few came close to being clowns. After three years of "carnival," recreated by Schivelbusch in all its sound and fury, they were driven from the stage by the Cold War.
As Berlin once again becomes the German capital, Schivelbusch's masterful cultural history is certain to captivate historians and general readers alike. | 0520203666 | null | 9,780,520,203,662 | English | 248 | Hardcover | In a Cold Crater: Cultural and Intellectual Life in Berlin, 1945-1948 | University of California Press | [] | Series | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Wolfgang Schivelbusch (Translator)', 'Kelly Barry (Author)'] | In a Cold Crater: Cultural and Intellectual Life in Berlin, 1945-1948 | null |

Who Loses Her Fortune-
and Finds Herself
She was born Princess Marguerite Alexandrovna Valensky. But everyone called her Daisy, Daisy of the silver-gilt hair and the black eyes, daughter of Prince Stash Valensky, the White Russian polo player and hero of the Battle of Britain, and his wife, the lyrically romantic American film star, Francesca Vernon-no child could have had a happier future.
But for the Secret...
The secret that ripped apart the fabric of their splendid world, the secret as binding as the strongest taboo, the secret that Daisy would learn to keep from earliest childhood. The secret shadowed her life even as she grew up in the heart of London's aristocratic Belgravia; even as she visited the enchanted manoir in Normandy that belonged to Anabel, her father's mistress and the last of the great courtesans; even as she fled the furious obsession of her half-brother, Ram, to spend a few glorious years in California.
Always the Secret Existed...
The longer Daisy kept it the more binding it became. Even after Daisy and Kiki, her best friend, the irrepressibly ribald heiress to an automobile fortune, made their home in SoHo, Manhattan's new Bohemia, even while Daisy worked as a producer in the manic and magic world of television commercial makers...she kept the secret.
Daisy fights for independence and survival in a world in which North, her fiery, demanding boss expects her to cope with a dozen crises an hour; a world in which Patrick Shannon, the self-made, dynamic head of a major conglomerate, has his own plans for Daisy and believes that even she has her price; a world in which Robin and Vanessa Valarian, consummate players in the game of fashion, need Daisy for their own purposes and will hesitate at nothing to exploit her.
Until...
Poised on the brink of her own worldwide fame, Daisy allows love into her innermost heart and finds the trust to yield up her lifetime burden and find the one thing that has always eluded her...the freedom to face the truth and to become herself.
This romantic dream of a novel transports us from the palaces of St. Petersburg to the Venice of today; from the closely guarded enclaves of the Virginia Hunt County to the elegance of the great homes of England. The utterly compelling story blends the wonder of once-upon-a-time with the pulse of the here-and-now and, in Daisy, creates an ultimate heroine. | 0207143153 | null | 9,780,283,986,475 | English | 495 | Hardcover | Princess Daisy | Crown | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Judith Krantz (Author)'] | Princess Daisy | null |

Today Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal is regarded as the democratic ideal, the positive American response to an economic crisis that propelled Germany and Italy toward Fascism. Yet in the 1930s, shocking as it may seem, these regimes were hardly considered antithetical. Now, Wolfgang Schivelbusch investigates the shared elements of these three "new deals" to offer a striking explanation for the popularity of Europe's totalitarian systems.
Returning to the Depression, Schivelbusch traces the emergence of a new type of bolstered by mass propaganda, led by a charismatic figure, and projecting stability and power. He uncovers stunning similarities among the three the symbolic importance of gigantic public works programs like the TVA dams and the German autobahn, which not only put people back to work but embodied the state's authority; the seductive persuasiveness of Roosevelt's fireside chats and Mussolini's radio talks; the vogue for monumental architecture stamped on Washington, as on Berlin; and the omnipresent banners enlisting citizens as loyal followers of the state.
Far from equating Roosevelt, Hitler, and Mussolini or minimizing their acute differences, Schivelbusch proposes that the populist and paternalist qualities common to their states hold the key to the puzzling allegiance once granted to Europe's most tyrannical regimes. | 080507452X | null | 9,780,805,074,529 | English | 256 | Hardcover | Three New Deals: Reflections on Roosevelt's America, Mussolini's Italy, and Hitler's Germany, 1933-1939 | Metropolitan Books | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Wolfgang Schivelbusch (Author)'] | Three New Deals: Reflections on Roosevelt's America, Mussolini's Italy, and Hitler's Germany, 1933-1939 | null |

In 1976, a uniquely seductive world of vampires was unveiled in the now-classic Interview with the Vampire . . . in 1985, a wild and voluptous voice spoke to us, telling the story of The Vampire Lestat. In The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice continues her extraordinary "Vampire Chronicles" in a feat of mesmeric storytelling, a chillingly hypnotic entertainment in which the oldest and most powerful forces of the night are unleashed on an unsuspecting world.Three brilliantly colored narrative threads intertwine as the story unfolds:- The rock star known as Vampire Lestat, worshipped by millions of spellbound fans, prepares for a concert in San Francisco. Among the audience--pilgrims in a blind swoon of adoration--are hundreds of vampires, creatures who see Lestat as a "greedy fiend risking the secret prosperity of all his kind just to be loved and seen by mortals," fiends themselves who hate Lestat's power and who are determined to destroy him . . . - The sleep of certain men and women--vampires and mortals scattered around the world--is haunted by a vivid, mysterious dream: of twins with fiery red hair and piercing green eyes who suffer an unspeakable tragedy. It is a dream that slowly, tauntingly reveals its meaning to the dreamers as they make their way toward each other--some to be destroyed on the journey, some to face an even more terrifying fate at journey's end . . . - Akasha--Queen of the Damned, mother of all vampires, rises after a 6,000 year sleep and puts into motion a heinous plan to "save" mankind from itself and make "all myths of the world real" by elevating herself and her chosen son/lover to the level of the gods: "I am the fulfillment and I shall from this moment be the cause" . . . These narrative threads wind sinuously across a vast, richly detailed tapestry of the violent, sensual world of vampirism, taking us back 6,000 years to its beginnings. As the stories of the "first brood" of blood drinkers are revealed, we are swept across the ages, from Egypt to South America to the Himalayas to all the shrouded corners of the globe where vampires have left their mark. Vampires are created--mortals succumbing to the sensation of "being enptied, of being devoured, of being nothing." Vampires are destroyed. Dark rituals are performed--the rituals of ancient creatures prowling the modern world. And, finally, we are brought to a moment in the twentieth century when, in an astonishing climax, the fate of the living dead--and perhaps of the living, all the living--will be decided.From the Hardcover edition. | 8495501457 | null | 9,788,495,501,455 | Spanish; Castilian | 734 | Mass Market Paperback | La reina de los condenados | Punto De Lectura | ['Bram Stoker Award Best Novel (1988)', ' Locus Award Best Horror Novel (1989)'] | Series | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Anne Rice (Author)', 'Carlos Llorach (Author)'] | La reina de los condenados (Crónicas vampíricas, #3) | null |

350,095 | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/350095.A_Jackson_Man | [] | A rare, fascinating personality emerges in Donald B. Cole’s biography of Amos Kendall, the reputed intellectual engine behind Andrew Jackson’s administration and an influential figure in the transformation of young America from an agrarian republic to a capitalist democracy. After helping Jackson win the election of 1828, Kendall became the president’s chief advisor—speech writer, postmaster general, and author of the famous veto of the bill to recharter the Bank of the United States. Born on a small Massachusetts farm and educated at Dartmouth, Kendall moved to Kentucky as a young man to seek his fortune and eventually became one of the very few nationally prominent antebellum politicians who successfully combined northern origins and southern experience. Kendall’s role in democratizing American politics is shown in a compelling narrative of his evolution from a republican idealist to a democratic individualist who contributed greatly to the rise of the Democratic party. His innovative campaign techniques and direct appeals to ordinary voters helped attract Americans to the polls; yet Kendall, like many of his contemporaries, also had a limited egalitarian vision that excluded the participation of women, African Americans, and Native Indians. In that sense, Cole demonstrates, Kendall was a man of his time, an era of unprecedented transformations in politics, economics, and technology. Unforgettable in appearance and manner—a gaunt, white-haired, reclusive hypochondriac—Kendall inspired mystery as well as awe in admirers and enemies. He exemplified the American self-made man in his rise from a struggling jack-of-all-trades to a wealthy Washingtonian. His story also offers a fresh look at important elements of the antebellum communications he was deeply involved in the expansion of the post office and in the rise of the telegraph, and as a philanthropist he founded the school for the deaf that became Gallaudet College. The first biography of Kendall, this superbly written and researched volume unfolds the rise of American democracy and the culture that created it. | 0807129305 | null | 9,780,807,129,302 | English | 368 | Hardcover | A Jackson Man: Amos Kendall and the Rise of American Democracy | Louisiana State Univ Pr | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Donald B.

Her poetry has never been published as a collection, so it has never had the readership it deserves. Some of the poems appeared in various fugitive sources, but about half have never been published until now. But even on this basis she has had discerning advocates. In 1950, for instance, Edmund Blunden wrote an admiring essay proposing that 'it would be delightful if her centenary ... might result in an edition of her poems, of which I understand some were never published; and I know that others in her Phantasmion are uncommonly good'. | 1857548957 | null | 9,781,857,548,952 | English | 244 | Paperback | Collected Poems | Carcanet Press Ltd. | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Sara Coleridge (Editor)', 'Peter Swaab (Author)'] | Collected Poems | null |

Where Alph, the sacred river ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
--from "Kubla Khan"
From the time he was very young, Coleridge hoped he would be remembered as a poet; masterpieces such as "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "Kubla Khan," and "Frost at Midnight" assured that his dream would come true. These verses, and the 32 others in this extraordinary collection, testify to the genius and power of his writing. From the time Coleridge produced his first volume of poetry in 1796 till his death in 1834, he created works as diverse as "The Eolian Harp," which begins as a sweet love poem but by the end becomes something much more; "To a Critic," a sharp rebuke to those who cruelly tear apart and misinterpret the poet's work; and the unfinished narrative verse, "Christabel." | 0753816644 | null | 9,780,753,816,646 | English | 176 | Hardcover | Selected Poems | Phoenix | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['John Beer (Editor)', 'John Beer (compiler)'] | Selected Poems | null |

One of these paths is the true way, and will take you where you need to go; but you can only know which is which once you have gone along the way of your choice for some time.” “What if the Right way is the wrong way, or the Left way is the right way?” Lauren asked. “It sounds confusing.” “Yes, yes, of course it does. But once you’ve done it, everything will be perfectly clear.” Words are disappearing from the world. Something is lurking in the deepest waters, devouring all the words that are no longer used. No one has noticed, but the world is slowly growing darker. For many years no children have come to the Enchanted Islands in search of Wisdom, and the Wise Enchanter is growing old. Four children from the corners of the earth have been sent on a quest to rediscover each letter, unlock the treasure of language, and thereby grow wise. Time is running out; if the children do not reach the castle of the Wise Enchanter in time, Wisdom and light may vanish from the world altogether. | 0880105623 | null | 9,780,880,105,620 | English | 160 | Paperback | The Wise Enchanter: A Journey through the Alphabet | Bell Pond Books | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Shelley Davidow (Illustrator)', 'Krystyna Emilia Kurzyca (Author)'] | The Wise Enchanter: A Journey through the Alphabet | null |

350,101 | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/350101.The_Collected_Works_of_Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge | [] | Poetry in its many guises is at the center of Coleridge's multifarious interests, and this long-awaited new edition of his complete poetical works marks the pinnacle of the Bollingen Collected Coleridge. The three parts of Volume 16 confirm and expand the sense of the Coleridge who has emerged over the past half-century, with implications for English Romantic writing as a whole. Setting new standards of comprehensiveness in the presentation of Romantic texts, they will interest historians and editorial theorists, as well as readers and students of poetry. They represent a work of truly monumental importance.
The second part presents the same 706 poems as the first, in the same chronological sequence, but differently records in each case all known textual information in collated form--allowing for alternative construals of the reading texts. An additional 135 items are inserted into the same sequence, comprising poems mistakenly ascribed to Coleridge or of dubious authenticity and poems that remained only in the planning stage or that are referred to but have not been recovered. The index of titles and first lines incorporates the full range of variants.
All told, the Collected Coleridge variorum sequence collates over a third more additional texts--in more detailed and accurate form--than those found in the previous standard edition, by E.H. Coleridge. The presentation method in this second part will interest editorial theorists as well as those interested primarily in Coleridge and/or the making of poetry. The unusually detailed textual information also reveals changes in such areas as linguistic and grammatical usage, patterns of transcription and circulation among anthologists, and contemporary publishers' house styles. | 0691004846 | null | 9,780,691,004,846 | English | 1,528 | Hardcover | The Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Vol. 16.

It was the kind of place where families gathered together for church picnics and barn dances, where neighbors helped each other through good times and bad, the kind of place where a woman with no home and no kin could make a fresh start.
For spinster Addie Sherwood, a position as the little town's first schoolteacher also meant a chance to escape a loveless marriage of convenience. But within days of her arrival she found herself receiving yet another proposal, this time from handsome rancher Will Rider. Will was everything she'd always wanted in a man-strong, smart, and heart-stoppingly sensual -- but she vowed she would not accept his offer until she was sure he really loved her. For her dream of a new life would turn to ashes unless Will believed, as she did, that home is where the heart is. | 0843943343 | null | 9,780,843,943,344 | English | 440 | Paperback | Where the Heart Is | Leisure Books | [] | Series | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Robin Lee Hatcher (Author)'] | Where the Heart Is (Americana, #1) | null |

Largely through the efforts of its working class and the dynamic labor movement it built, New York City became the envied model of liberal America and the scourge of conservatives cheap and easy-to-use mass transit, work in small businesses and factories that had good wages and benefits, affordable public housing, and healthcare for all. Working-Class New York is an “engrossing” ( Dissent ) account of the birth of that ideal and the way it came crashing down. In what Publishers Weekly calls “absorbing and beautifully detailed history,” historian Joshua Freeman shows how the anticommunist purges of the 1950s decimated the ranks of the labor movement and demoralized its idealists, and how the fiscal crisis of the mid-1970s dealt another crushing blow to liberal ideals as the city’s wealthy elite made a frenzied grab for power. A grand work of cultural and social history, Working-Class New York is a moving chronicle of a dream that died but may yet rise again. | 1565847121 | null | 9,781,565,847,125 | English | 440 | Paperback | Working-Class New York: Life and Labor Since World War II | The New Press | ['New York City Book Award History (2000)'] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Joshua B.

In this in-depth comparative study, Colin Davis explores the upheavals on both sides of the Atlantic. Davis examines the dynamics of work and work stoppage along the two pivotal waterfronts, showing how issues of race, organized crime, union affiliation, working conditions, and Cold War politics shaped waterfront uprisings and the state's response to them. He explores other key differences between American and British labor, such as the cultural forces that led to the emergence of rank-and-file dockworkers' movements, degree of governmental oversight, methods of obtaining work, and specifics of ethnic and racial identification. An eye-opening look at dockworker influence in postwar industry, Waterfront Revolts reveals how workers and trade unions directly influenced Cold War politics, the economy, and culture across national borders. | 0252028783 | null | 9,780,252,028,786 | English | 272 | Hardcover | Waterfront Revolts: New York and London Dockworkers, 1946-61 | University of Illinois Press | [] | Series | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Colin J.

350,115 | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/350115.Trade_Unions_and_Community | [] | In Trade Unions and Community Dorothee Schneider argues that German unions played a vital role in building community for German immigrants in North America. More than other organizations such as churches or regional groups, Schneider maintains, trade unions were in the best position to build community in a new, rapidly changing industrial society.
Why were the unions so well suited to the development of the German-American working class and its integration into North American society and politics? What was the effect of the trade unions' central role on the community as a whole? Did these unions carry their community-building role into the American trade union movement in general? To answer these questions, Schneider focuses on German-American skilled workers, portraying a group of immigrants who brought from Europe not just their pre-industrial traditions but also a wealth of experience in industrialized settings and a diverse political culture.
Examining bakers, brewery workers, and cigar makers, she highlights the origins of the political culture of the American immigrant working class in a new way. Schneider argues that, in spite of the contradictory interests of traditionalists, political progressives, and assimilationists, German-American workers favored a centralized craft unionism and thus became backers of Samuel Gompers's American Federation of Labor. | 025202057X | null | 9,780,252,020,575 | English | 296 | Hardcover | Trade Unions and Community: The German Working Class in New York City, 1870-1900 | University of Illinois Press | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Dorothee Schneider (Author)'] | Trade Unions and Community: The German Working Class in New York City, 1870-1900 (Working Class in American History) | null |

In the late 1980s snowboarders were seen by skiers as skate–punks and 'knuckle–draggers' but in just a few years the sport has rapidly gained popularity in ski areas and resorts. By 1994 snowboarding was an exhibition sport at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer; since then it has become one of the most popular sports in the Olympics. Todd Richards was there through it all and, as he tells his story, he shares the history of his sport.
Todd Richards is one of the biggest names in pro snowboarding. Now his image is on PlayStation games, plastic toys and countless magazines. He's won world championships and X Games medals. Known for his wit, work ethic, and front side 900, Todd has helped bring snowboarding out of obscurity and into the limelight. The sport continues to gain momentum through growing media coverage, and no professional embodies the image and attitude of snowboarding better than Todd Richards. | 0060761792 | null | 9,780,060,761,790 | English | 304 | Paperback | P3: Pipes, Parks, and Powder | ReganBooks | [] | Standalone | 0 | 0 | 0 | ['Todd Richards (Author)', 'Eric Blehm (Author)'] | P3: Pipes, Parks, and Powder | null |
