Pirates in History and Popular Culture
This collection of new essays covers the myriad portrayals of the figure of the pirate in historical records, literary narratives, films, television series, opera, anime and games. Contributors explore the nuances of both real and fictional pirates, giving attention to renowned works such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, and the anime One Piece, as well as less well known works such as pirate romances, William Clarke Russell's The Frozen Pirate, Lionel Lindsay's artworks, Steven Speilberg's The Adventures of Tintin, and Pastafarian texts.
A Critical Companion to Stanley Kubrick
A Critical Companion to Stanley Kubrick offers a thorough and detailed study of the films of the legendary director. Labeled a recluse, a provocateur, and a perfectionist, Kubrick revolutionized filmmaking, from the use of music in film, narrative pacing and structure, to depictions of war and violence. An unparalleled visionary, his work continues to influence contemporary cinema and visual culture. This book delves into the complexities of his work and examines the wide range of topics and the multiple interpretations that his films inspire. The eighteen chapters in this book use a wide range of methodologies and explore new trends of research in film studies, providing a series of unique and novel perspectives on all of Kubrick’s thirteen feature films, from Fear and Desire (1953) to Eyes Wide Shut (1999), as well as his work on A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg, 2001).
New Approaches to Contemporary Adaptation
Scholars of cultural, gender, film, literary, and adaptation studies will find this collection innovative and thought-provoking.

Na Linha de Meus Ancestrais
É bem verdade que um trabalho como esse de composição genealógica é interminável e se dermos sorte, algum ascendente poderá vir se interessar e dar seguimento a este trabalho no futuro, com suas características e preferências, entretanto não poderia chegar ao fim deste meu trabalho sem tentar descrever o quanto tudo isso significou para mim; pouco a pouco fui me apropriando das lembranças que me foram contadas e junto a elas flashes de tantos momentos bons foram pululando de minhas verdadeiras memórias, por vezes me emocionei com as emoções descritas por meus primos, e me entristeci ao ver que alguns familiares, já tão enodoados por suas vidas, mostraram-se aquém preferindo ...

NMR Methods for Characterization of Synthetic and Natural Polymers
Since the introduction of FT-NMR spectroscopy around five decades ago, NMR has achieved significant advances in hardware and methodologies, accompanied with the enhancement of spectral resolution and signal sensitivity. Rapid developments in the polymers field mean that accurate and quantitative characterization of polymer structures and dynamics is the keystone for precisely regulating and controlling the physical and chemical properties of the polymer. This book specifically focuses on NMR investigation of complex polymers for the polymer community as well as NMR spectroscopists, and will push the development of both fields. It covers the latest advances, for example high field DNP and ultrafast MAS methodologies, and show how these novel NMR methods characterize various synthetic and natural polymers.
