* The emphasis of this book will be on detailed practicality. Most of the SAN books provide a theoretical treatment of the technology from a top-down perspective. This book will be written from the perspective of "from the ground up". * Relates specific technology offerings to particular application areas. Email stores, Image stores, Video Production and RDBMS disk are used as specific case studies to show how the hardware, firmware, and interconnects are set up and used. * SAN technology is ready to move out of the glass house and large scale storage is becoming applicable to even dedicated purposes. This represents an increase in the potential audience for a book on SANs and, of course, remains highly useful for the administrators and centralized technical staff responsible for backups, recoverability, and availability.

Aphra Behn’s spectacular farce, Emperor of the Moon (1687), so engaged audiences that it was restaged well into the eighteenth century. Her play was largely adapted from Anne Mauduit de Fatouville’s Arlequin, Empereur dans la lune (1684), a commedia dell’arte production by the Comédie-Italienne troupe, a performance which also proved immensely popular with Parisian audiences. Within its witty and amusing three acts, Behn’s play explores a number of contemporary concerns — from commedia dell’arte, to gender and politics, to science and astronomy, including a plurality of worlds, for example — all culminating in the third act’s operatic spectacle. This volume offers a transcription of Behn’s 1687 play with extensive annotations, a critical discussion of Behn’s text, and the first English translation of Fatouville’s eight French and Italian scenes.
Within the past ten years, the field of contemporary American literary studies has changed significantly. Following the turn of the twenty-first century and mounting doubts about the continued explanatory power of the category of “postmodernism,” new organizations have emerged, book series have been launched, journals have been created, and new methodologies, periodizations, and thematics have redefined the field. Postmodern/Postwar—and After aims to be a field-defining book—a sourcebook for the new and emerging critical terrain—that explores the postmodern/postwar period and what comes after. The first section of essays returns to the category of the “post-modern” and argues f...
In the 150 years since the birth of the petroleum industry oil has saturated our culture, fueling our cars and wars, our economy and policies. But just as thoroughly, culture saturates oil. So what exactly is “oil culture”? This book pursues an answer through petrocapitalism’s history in literature, film, fine art, wartime propaganda, and museum displays. Investigating cultural discourses that have taken shape around oil, these essays compose the first sustained attempt to understand how petroleum has suffused the Western imagination. The contributors to this volume examine the oil culture nexus, beginning with the whale oil culture it replaced and analyzing literature and films such a...

"In Masculine Style: The American West and Literary Modernism, Daniel Worden argues for the importance of 'cowboy masculinity, ' as dramatized in late nineteenth-century dime novels, to the writings of Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, Nat Love, Theodore Roosevelt, John Steinbeck, and Owen Wister. Masculine Style presents a groundbreaking account of masculine self-fashioning in American literature and positions the American West as central to modernism."--Page 4 of cover.
