Francis Scott Fitzgerald

PD-US

Often overshadowed by his major novels, Fitzgerald's short stories demonstrate the same originality and inventive range, as he chronicles with wry and astute observation the temper of the hedonistic 1920s. Here is the only critical edition of Tales of the Jazz Age available in paperback as first published. It was Fitzgerald's second collection of stories, and it contains some of the best of his short fiction, including "May Day" and "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," two of his greatest, and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," recently adapted into a full-length movie. The collection also highlights Fitzgerald's ability to work in a variety of forms--parody, a one-act play, fantasy--with unrivalled versatility. Fitzgerald scholar Jackson R. Bryer provides an in-depth appreciation of the stories and examines the making of the volume and its reception. The volume also includes an up-to-date bibliography, a chronology of the author's life and work, and explanatory notes identifying contemporary references and allusions.

Pharmaceuticals, due to their pseudo-persistence and biological activity as well as their extensive use in human and veterinary medicine, are a class of environmental contaminants that is of emerging concern. In contrast to some conventional pollutants, they are continuously delivered at low levels, which might give rise to toxicity even without high persistence rates. These chemicals are designed to have a specific physiological mode of action and to resist frequently inactivation before exerting their intended therapeutic effect. These features, among others, result in the bioaccumulation of pharmaceuticals which are responsible for toxic effects in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It is extremely important to know how to remove them from the environment and/or how to implement procedures or treatments resulting in their biological inactivation. Although great advances have been made in their detection in aquatic matrices, there remains limited analytical methodologies available for the trace analysis of target and non-target pharmaceuticals in matrices such as soils, sediments, or biota. There are still many gaps in the data on their fate and behavior in the environment as well as on their threats to ecological and human health. This book has included nine current research and three review articles in this field.

Dieses Buch enthält einen konkreten Vorschlag zur Neugestaltung der Finanzbeziehungen in der EU. Zur Ableitung des europäischen Finanzausgleichs werden zunächst allgemeine Anforderungen hergeleitet, die ein solcher Ausgleich erfüllen sollte. Anhand dieses Kriterienkatalogs werden die bestehenden Finanzbeziehungen kritisch beurteilt. Vor der Modellierung der monetären Ströme erfolgt eine Neuordnung der Aufgabenverteilung zwischen der EU und den Mitgliedstaaten. Daraus ergeben sich die Ausgaben der Gemeinschaft sowie die nötigen Einnahmen. Am Ende stehen ein progressives Beitragssystem sowie ein regionaler Finanzausgleich, der an die Stelle der Strukturfonds tritt. Die Verteilungswirkungen des Modells werden anhand eines vom Verfasser hierfür programmierten Simulationsprogramms untersucht.

David Mason - Sci Fi

https://theoviebooks.wordpress.com/ When on Pru'ut, you must do as the natives do—and that includes dying as they do! On the charts, it's P-1345-AZ, and a thin blue line marked with cryptic letters indicates that a Mallor Lines cargo ship stops three times in each local year. The Guide will tell you a little more; that it's a small hot planet, covered with fern forests and swamps, and inhabited by one of the innumerable primate-human species of the universe. It was also inhabited, for a while, by one Terran, James Grady. David Mason is the pseudonym for Samuel Mason. He was an author of science fiction and sword and sorcery works. He was married to the author Katherine MacLean. In Public Domain Published 1957 Ovi eBook Publishing January 2024

A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Language, Nation, Race explores the various language reforms at the onset of Japanese modernity, a time when a “national language” (kokugo) was produced to standardize Japanese. Faced with the threat of Western colonialism, Meiji intellectuals proposed various reforms to standardize the Japanese language in order to quickly educate the illiterate masses. This book liberates these language reforms from the predetermined category of the “nation,” for such a notion had yet to exist as a clear telos to which the reforms aspired. Atsuko Ueda draws on, while critically intervening in, the vast scholarship of language reform that engaged with numerous works of postcolonial and cultural studies. She examines the first two decades of the Meiji period, with specific focus on the issue of race, contending that no analysis of imperialism or nationalism is possible without it.
