Names for Light: A Family History Winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize a lyrical meditation on family place and inheritance. Names for Light traverses time and memory to weigh three generations of a family s history against a painful inheritance of postcolonial violence and racism. In spare lyric paragraphs framed by white space Thirii Myo Kyaw Myint explores home belonging and identity by revisiting the cities in which her parents and grandparents lived. As she makes inquiries into their stories she intertwines oral narratives with the official and mythic histories of Myanmar. But while her family s stories move into the present her own story--that of a writer seeking to understand who she is--moves into the past until both converge at the end of the book. Born in Myanmar and raised in Bangkok and San Jose Myint finds that she does not have typical memories of arriving in the United States; instead she is haunted by what she cannot remember. By the silences lingering around what is spoken. By a chain of deaths in her family line especially that of her older brother as a child. For Myint absence is felt as strongly as presence. And as she comes to understand naming those absences finding words for the unsaid means discovering how those who have come before have shaped her life. Names for Light is a moving chronicle of the passage of time of the long shadow of colonialism and of a writer coming into her own as she reckons with her family s legacy.

With a gentle and considerate style this evocative little gift book proposes a series of conceptual activities to help the reader work through the sense of loss that arises when someone or something is missing from their lives. I Miss You is an artful resource for those looking to ease the burdens of longing and lighten their heavy hearts . -- Foreword Reviews My heart is growing with each page feeling all the feels and I know I will end up giving copies of this book to so many who are grieving or who I miss and care for deeply. Thank you @cicadabook . -- Wandering Bookseller For example spend one minute writing a list of all the things you can remember doing with the person that you miss. Simple everyday events can make as many memories as big adventures. Write as fast as you can. When one minute is up stick the list to a window pane so that it can be seen from outside. Combining the practical and the abstract the activities have a Fluxus-style poignancy which is sure to strike a chord with anyone who has experienced the pain of grief or of a broken heart. With beautiful stripped-back illustrations and elegant packaging this book offers a touching mediation on loss in all its complexity.

From the creators of the wildly popular Welcome to Night Vale podcast comes an imaginative mystery of appearances and disappearances that is also a poignant look at the ways in which we all struggle to find ourselves...no matter where we live. Hypnotic and darkly funny. . . . Belongs to a particular strain of American gothic that encompasses The Twilight Zone Stephen King and Twin Peaks with a bit of Tremors thrown in. --The Guardian Located in a nameless desert somewhere in the great American Southwest Night Vale is a small town where ghosts angels aliens and government conspiracies are all commonplace parts of everyday life. It is here that the lives of two women with two mysteries will converge. Nineteen-year-old Night Vale pawn shop owner Jackie Fierro is given a paper marked KING CITY by a mysterious man in a tan jacket holding a deer skin suitcase. Everything about him and his paper unsettles her especially the fact that she can t seem to get the paper to leave her hand and that no one who meets this man can remember anything about him. Jackie is determined to uncover the mystery of King City and the man in the tan jacket before she herself unravels. Night Vale PTA treasurer Diane Crayton s son Josh is moody and also a shape shifter. And lately Diane s started to see her son s father everywhere she goes looking the same as the day he left years earlier when they were both teenagers. Josh looking different every time Diane sees him shows a stronger and stronger interest in his estranged father leading to a disaster Diane can see coming even as she is helpless to prevent it. Diane s search to reconnect with her son and Jackie s search for her former routine life collide as they find themselves coming back to two words: KING CITY . It is King City that holds the key to both of their mysteries and their futures...if they can ever find it.

The British Eighteenth Century and the Postcolonial Moment challenges reigning clichés about modernity . It intervenes in debates within current literary theory by means of a close engagement with texts from the British eighteenth-century viewing the latter as a resource for the contemporary postcolonial future. Indeed rather than applying postcolonial theory to eighteenth-century texts the book instead refines postcolonial theory by using such eighteenth-century authors as Swift Gay Johnson Sterne and Equiano. The book will interest eighteenth-century scholars historians of the Enlightenment scholars of postcolonial fiction and literary historians following in the wake of Michel Foucault and Edward Said.

Starred reviews hail Streetcar to Justice as a book that belongs in any civil rights library collection (Publishers Weekly) and completely fascinating and unique (Kirkus). An ALA Notable Book and winner of a Septima Clark Book Award from the National Council for the Social Studies. Bestselling author and journalist Amy Hill Hearth uncovers the story of a little-known figure in U.S. history in this fascinating biography. In 1854 a young African American woman named Elizabeth Jennings won a major victory against a New York City streetcar company a first step in the process of desegregating public transportation in Manhattan. This illuminating and important piece of the history of the fight for equal rights illustrated with photographs and archival material from the period will engage fans of Phillip Hoose s Claudette Colvin and Steve Sheinkin s Most Dangerous. One hundred years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery Alabama Elizabeth Jennings s refusal to leave a segregated streetcar in the Five Points neighborhood of Manhattan set into motion a major court case in New York City. On her way to church one day in July 1854 Elizabeth Jennings was refused a seat on a streetcar. When she took her seat anyway she was bodily removed by the conductor and a nearby police officer and returned home bruised and injured. With the support of her family the African American abolitionist community of New York and Frederick Douglass Elizabeth Jennings took her case to court. Represented by a young lawyer named Chester A. Arthur (a future president of the United States) she was victorious marking a major victory in the fight to desegregate New York City s public transportation. Amy Hill Hearth bestselling author of Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters First 100 Years illuminates a lesser-known benchmark in the struggle for equality in the United States while painting a vivid picture of the diverse Five Points neighborhood of Manhattan in the mid-1800s. Includes sidebars extensive illustrative material notes and an index.

This volume focuses on contributions from both the mathematics and life science community surrounding the concepts of time and dynamicity of nature two significant elements which are often overlooked in modeling process to avoid exponential computations. The book is divided into three distinct parts: dynamics of genomes and genetic variation dynamics of motifs and dynamics of biological networks. Chapters included in dynamics of genomes and genetic variation analyze the molecular mechanisms and evolutionary processes that shape the structure and function of genomes and those that govern genome dynamics. The dynamics of motifs portion of the volume provides an overview of current methods for motif searching in DNA RNA and proteins a key process to discover emergent properties of cells tissues and organisms. The part devoted to the dynamics of biological networks covers networks aptly discusses networks in complex biological functions and activities that interpret processes in cells. Moreover chapters in this section examine several mathematical models and algorithms available for integration analysis and characterization. Once life scientists began to produce experimental data at an unprecedented pace it become clear that mathematical models were necessary to interpret data to structure information with the aim to unveil biological mechanisms discover results and make predictions. The second annual Bringing Maths to Life workshop held in Naples Italy October 2015 enabled a bi-directional flow of ideas from and international group of mathematicians and biologists. The venue allowed mathematicians to introduce novel algorithms methods and software that may be useful to model aspects of life science and life scientists posed new challenges for mathematicians.

Radical Intellectuals and the Subversion of Progressive Politics is a challenge to contemporary radical politics and political thought. This collection of essays critiques the dominant trends and figures on the left that have distorted the legacy of progressive politics arguing that they have moved politics away from issues of class and economic power toward a preoccupation with culture and identity. The contributors discuss this new radicalism from the perspective of a more rational form of leftism capable of reviving interest in a more politically relevant form of politics.

With more than 100 years of combined teaching experience and PhDs in particle nuclear and condensed-matter physics these three authors could hardly be better qualified to write this introduction to modern physics.
