The Secret History of Star Wars
In this thorough account of one of cinema's most lasting works, Kaminski presents the true history of how "Star Wars" was written. For this unauthorized account, he has pored through more than 400 sources.
Paleoecology, Biostratigraphy, Paleoceanography and Taxonomy of Agglutinated Foraminifera
Agglutinated foraminifera are among the most widely distributed and abundant groups of marine meiofauna in some environments (e. g. marshes, deep-sea). They are tolerant of environmental extremes, tending to live where the evolutionarily more advanced calcareous foraminifera cannot survive. However, largely because of historical reasons, the amount of scientific effort invested in this group has been small in comparison to studies of other marine organisms. The NATO Advanced Studies Institute conference on the paleoecology, biostratigraphy, paleoceanography and taxonomy of agglutinated foraminifera in TUbingen September 17-29, 1989, was a direct outgrowth of two previous workshops on aggluti...
Life After Russian Roulette
Life After Russian Roulette is a psychological thriller based on true accounts from my life as an undercover detective in Baltimore during the 1970s. Immersed in a world of drug groups, organized crime, and police corruption, I became addicted to "the game" as I wrestled mentally with illegal, unethical, and immoral choices as the lines between right and wrong blurred before my eyes to justify the end goal. To catch the worst criminals, we had to become criminals ourselves. This moral downslide leads to depression, suicidal thoughts, and mentally destructive actions as I numbed my feelings with increased addiction to alcohol. After suspension and resignation from the force, the ghosts continued to haunt me. The thought of death became my only escape from the hell I created. Eventually, a near fatal accident almost ended my life. High on morphine in a hospital, I would make a commitment to God for saving my life. I would enter seminary, receive ordination, and enter parish ministry. Still struggling spiritually to find my faith, I would finally find the one blessing I had been searching for all my life--love.
Introduction to Thermal and Fluids Engineering
Kaminski-Jensen is the first text to bring together thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer in an integrated manner, giving students the fullest possible understanding of their interconnectedness. The three topics are introduced early in the text, allowing for applications across these areas early in the course. Class-tested for two years to more than 800 students at Rensselaer, the text’s novel approach has received national attention for its demonstrable success.
Games Prisoners Play
On March 11, 1985, a van was pulled over in Warsaw for a routine traffic check that turned out to be anything but routine. Inside was Marek Kaminski, a Warsaw University student who also ran an underground press for Solidarity. The police discovered illegal books in the vehicle, and in a matter of hours five secret police escorted Kaminski to jail. A sociology and mathematics major one day, Kaminski was the next a political prisoner trying to adjust to a bizarre and dangerous new world. This remarkable book represents his attempts to understand that world. As a coping strategy until he won his freedom half a year later by faking serious illness, Kaminski took clandestine notes on prison subc...
Me and Kaminski
Sebastian Zollner is searching for his big break. A failure as a journalist, a boyfriend, and a human being, he sets out to write the essential biography of the eccentric painter Manuel Kaminski. All he needs to do is ingratiate himself into Kaminski’s family, wait for him to kick the bucket, and then reap the rewards. There’s only one problem. Kaminski has an agenda of his own, an agenda that will send them on a wild-goose chase to places neither of them ever expected to go. Told with Nabokovian wit and an edgy intelligence, Me and Kaminski is a shrewd send-up of art and journalistic pretensions from the internationally acclaimed author of Measuring the World.
Asymptotics and Mellin-Barnes Integrals
Asymptotics and Mellin-Barnes Integrals, first published in 2001, provides an account of the use and properties of a type of complex integral representation that arises frequently in the study of special functions typically of interest in classical analysis and mathematical physics. After developing the properties of these integrals, their use in determining the asymptotic behaviour of special functions is detailed. Although such integrals have a long history, the book's account includes recent research results in analytic number theory and hyperasymptotics. The book also fills a gap in the literature on asymptotic analysis and special functions by providing a thorough account of the use of Mellin-Barnes integrals that is otherwise not available in other standard references on asymptotics.
The Kaminski Brigade
The political and military movement of Bronislav Kaminski in Russia 1941-1944 was a single case in the German occupation politic. Because of his constituted NationalSocialist Russian Labour Party he became for some time an ally to Hitler. His Peoples Selfdefend Army reached 10,000 men and fought for at least two years with great success against the communistic partisans in his combat area on the Russian front.
