Fong and the Indians
The engaging author of Riding the Iron Rooster entertains with a satirical look at a Chinese Catholic grocer living in East Africa. While others plague him about politics, all Fong wants is for the milk train to wreck so he can sell his precious dairy products.
Fong and the Indians
Een Chinese immigrant in een pas onafhankelijk geworden Afrikaanse staat weet zich temidden van misverstand en bedrog te handhaven door zijn naïviteit.
The Arcata Conference on Representations of Finite Groups, Part 2
The papers in these proceedings of the 1986 Arcata Summer Institute bear witness to the extraordinarily vital and intense research in the representation theory of finite groups. The confluence of diverse mathematical disciplines has brought forth work of great scope and depth. Particularly striking is the influence of algebraic geometry and cohomology theory in the modular representation theory and the character theory of reductive groups over finite fields, and in the general modular representation theory of finite groups. The continuing developments in block theory and the general character theory of finite groups is noteworthy. The expository and research aspects of the Summer Institute are well represented by these papers.
Dangerous Crossings
Dangerous Crossings interprets disputes in the United States over the use of animals in the cultural practices of nonwhite peoples.
Derived Equivalences for Group Rings
A self-contained introduction is given to J. Rickard's Morita theory for derived module categories and its recent applications in representation theory of finite groups. In particular, Broué's conjecture is discussed, giving a structural explanation for relations between the p-modular character table of a finite group and that of its "p-local structure". The book is addressed to researchers or graduate students and can serve as material for a seminar. It surveys the current state of the field, and it also provides a "user's guide" to derived equivalences and tilting complexes. Results and proofs are presented in the generality needed for group theoretic applications.
The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures Produced in the United States: Feature Films
"The entire field of film historians awaits the AFI volumes with eagerness."--Eileen Bowser, Museum of Modern Art Film Department Comments on previous volumes: "The source of last resort for finding socially valuable . . . films that received such scant attention that they seem 'lost' until discovered in the AFI Catalog."--Thomas Cripps "Endlessly absorbing as an excursion into cultural history and national memory."--Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
