Poignant, hilarious, and spooky, Memento Mori addresses old age In late 1950s London, something uncanny besets a group of elderly friends: an insinuating voice on the telephone reminds each: Remember you must die. Their geriatric feathers are soon thoroughly ruffled, and many an old unsavory secret is dusted off.
11-year-old Stella has returned home to Shetland to spend the summer with her Grandpa, but it's nothing like she remembers. Grandpa is lost in his grief for Gran, the island is bleak and Stella feels trapped, until she encounters an old woman, Tamar, who can spin rainbows and call hurricanes. With the help of Nimbus, a feisty young storm cloud, Stella begins to learn the craft of weather weaving. But when her cloud brain-fogs Grandpa and The Haken (a sea witch) starts to close in, she realises that magic comes with big responsibilities. It will take all her heart and courage to face the coming storm...
This book is the ultimate assembly of recent research activities on molecular architectonics and nanoarchitectonics by authors who are worldwide experts. The book proposes new ways of creating functional materials at the nano level using the concepts of molecular architectonics and nanoarchitectonics, which are expected to be the next-generation approaches beyond conventional nanotechnology. All the contents are categorized by types of materials, organic materials, biomaterials, and nanomaterials. For that reason, non-specialists including graduate and undergraduate students can start reading the book from any points they would like. Cutting-edge trends in nanotechnology and material sciences are easily visible in the contents of the book, which is highly useful for both students and experimental materials scientists.
"Victor M. Mori MD, a retired surgeon based in Hawaii, has gathered together information from historical texts, family documents, diaries and oral histories, as well as recent information emerging from contemporary scholars researching the history of the Japanese in Hawaii. The pieces in this book range from a personal memoir covering his youth and early adulthood to a series of historical accounts of the lives of several key figures of the extended Mori family, including Oguri Kozaburo, Dr. Iga Mori, Tasuku Harada, Ishiguro Isoji, Ken Harada and Ishiko Mori. His writing reflects an ongoing interest in the Mori family background and is illuminated by extensive travel to Japan and other parts of the world. The book also includes material written by Professors Sidney L. Gulick of Doshisha University and K. Kawachi of Kansaigakuin University" -- Amazon.
