Gumpert (Program in Cultures, Civilizations, and Ideas at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey) looks at the myth of Helen in Greek poetry from the archaic to the classical period and in French writings, medieval to modern. Chapters are not organized chronologically but strategically, that is, how a particular present treats the past. Chapters on the ways Greeks treated history/Helen mostly earn the names of rhetorical strategies like mimesis, anamnesis, epideixis, and deixis, and the way the French look at history/Helen with strategies such as idolatry, translation, genealogy, cosmetics, etc.). As Gumpert writes, "What these chapters tell is a story about coveting the past, stealing it, and covering it up (the past and its theft). Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Since 2004 and with the 2nd edition in 2006, the Springer Handbook of Nanotechnology has established itself as the definitive reference in the nanoscience and nanotechnology area. It integrates the knowledge from nanofabrication, nanodevices, nanomechanics, Nanotribology, materials science, and reliability engineering in just one volume. Beside the presentation of nanostructures, micro/nanofabrication, and micro/nanodevices, special emphasis is on scanning probe microscopy, nanotribology and nanomechanics, molecularly thick films, industrial applications and microdevice reliability, and on social aspects. In its 3rd edition, the book grew from 8 to 9 parts now including a part with chapters on biomimetics. More information is added to such fields as bionanotechnology, nanorobotics, and (bio)MEMS/NEMS, bio/nanotribology and bio/nanomechanics. The book is organized by an experienced editor with a universal knowledge and written by an international team of over 150 distinguished experts. It addresses mechanical and electrical engineers, materials scientists, physicists and chemists who work either in the nano area or in a field that is or will be influenced by this new key technology.
