That Inna Kogan is a pulmonary specialist comes as no surprise after reading her work. Inna's poetry is concerned with breath on many levels-the breath of life, the breath of the soul, the breath of individual being. Her poems travel inward on a journey of self-discovery and outward to the reader on a path of spiritual enervation. Inna is not afraid to tackle dark components of her psyche-denial, depression, self-centeredness and crippling fears. Her poems ask difficult questions both of others-family, friends, lovers-and herself. Answers are transitory, fluid as breath, leading to deeper and deeper questioning. In addition to her own work, Kogan also presents translations of the poetry of well-known Russian psychiatrist Vladimir Levi. Levi's poems explore similar themes with a unique sense of humor, wit and stylistic language. To read Inna's poetry is to encounter a passionate literature in its most honest, uncorrupted state, like breathing pure oxygen. On This Path will open readers' hearts and minds, and move them further on their own explorative paths to wisdom.
From dissonant hearts to drive-thru burgers, Poets Unbound: 10 Years into the Journey is a thematically organized anthology of poetry by the members of Poets Unbound, the Nashua, NH workshop group that's been meeting every Thursday since 1996. The first section, Dark Alleys, consists of poems that visit the darker places. Not a depressing look, rather the poems find beauty and hope in life's challenges. Stops Along the Way is a look into all the places we've traveled in life, the past. These poems provide insight into the things that shape who we are. Scenic Routes is a picturesque look at landscapes of all kinds, pastoral, urban, internal, and metaphorical. Love's Byways is about all kinds ...

This book is based on the eight-part Channel 4 series, fronted by Dudley Moore and Sir Georg Solti, to be shown from January 1991. The book alternates between the families of instruments - strings, woodwind, brass and percussion - and periods of music - baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary. The central text focuses on the outstanding composers and their social, musical and historical context, with side passages on relevant musical forms and the size of the orchestra. Within each chapter another section focuses on the history and origins of individual instruments, their musical characteristics and the development of their role in the orchestra. The margin text covers virtuoso performers and musicians' own stories about their chosen instruments, including the comments and views of Moore and Solti.

The book provides a unifying insight into fluctuation phenomena in a broad variety of vibrational systems of current interest. It consists of individual chapters written by leading experts in the field. The chapters are self-contained and complement each other. The ongoing rapid development of well-characterized mesoscopic vibrational systems has made it possible to address fundamental physics problems and to explore new approaches to quantum and classical measurements, with applications to quantum information, condensed matter physics, and engineering. The book gives an account of major results in this direction. The topics include dynamics and quantum control of microcavity modes coupled to qubits, measurements with bifurcation-based amplifiers and new types of such amplifiers; switching rate scaling and new quantum mechanisms of metastable decay; wave mixing and parametric excitation in the quantum regime; collective phenomena and the interaction-induced discrete time symmetry breaking; and back-action and shot noise in electron-vibrational systems.
