Jews and Ukrainians in Russia's Literary Borderlands
Studies of Eastern European literature have largely confined themselves to a single language, culture, or nationality. In this highly original book, Glaser shows how writers working in Russian, Ukrainian, and Yiddish during much of the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century were in intense conversation with one another. The marketplace was both the literal locale at which members of these different societies and cultures interacted with one another and a rich subject for representation in their art. It is commonplace to note the influence of Gogol on Russian literature, but Glaser shows him to have been a profound influence on Ukrainian and Yiddish literature as well....
Eight Lectures on Theoretical Physics
From the PREFACE TO ORIGINAL EDITION. The present book has for its object the presentation of the lectures which I delivered as foreign lecturer at Columbia University in the spring of the present year under the title: ""The Present System of Theoretical Physics."" The points of view which influenced me in the selection and treatment of the material are given at the beginning of the first lecture. Essentially, they represent the extension of a theoretical physical scheme, the fundamental elements of which I developed in an address at Leyden entitled: ""The Unity of the Physical Concept of the Universe."" Therefore I regard it as advantageous to consider again some of the topics of that lecture. The presentation will not and cannot, of course, claim to cover exhaustively in all directions the principles of theoretical physics. -The Author, Berlin, 1909.

Satyendra Nath Bose
Satyendra Nath Bose became a legendary figure of science in the 20th century in India with his revolutionary discovery on the nature of radiation. Despite the association with Einstein, however, little is known about him outside of India. This book highlights the remarkable intellect and the extraordinary personality of Bose set against the backdrop of a rich Bengali cultural tradition and British-Indian politics. Unlike other books covering the significance of Bose''s discovery, this book describes his diverse scientific contributions to India''s scientific community by bringing together selected articles and addresses by Bose as well as contributions from some well-known scientists on the many-faceted life of Bose, thus making it a truly unique volume.
The Sweet Aniquirona
ANIQUIRONA: WOMAN AND MYTH According to the belief of Vicente Huidobro, a poet is a small God and should create the world from the beginning. Winston Morales Chavarro follows this conviction: He is an enchanted being who believes in appearances and bedazzlement. As a scrivener of an ignored genesis or of an unknown book of waters and forests, he passionately writes down his dreams; he believes in encounters and premonitions that change the destiny. He invents his own myth: Aniquirona, a woman and a reign, flesh and imagination, voice and silence, who grows naked and uncontainable throughout the poem: With the same intensity with which heights are honored I will honor your wise body, Aniquiro...
