‘Since at least Plato …’ and Other Postmodernist Myths
'Since at Least Plato...' and Other Postmodernist Myths surveys the fields of theories of postmodernism and criticizes some of the most common claims found in them about philosophy, science, and the relationship and literary techniques to metaphysics, epistemology, and political ideologies. Devaney finds the accounts offered by these theories of concepts ranging from the law of noncontradiction to relativity and the Uncertainty Principle to be as ill-informed as they are pervasive. Devaney shows how the use to which these accounts have been put in constructing the story of the progression from realism to postmodernism to modernism flattens out both the history of ideas and the history of literature.

Type 2 Diabetic Cooking on Gas and Electric
This book is a collection of recipes I have recorded, initially, for my own convenience but realised might be of use and helpful to others. If we are diabetic one important way we can help ourselves is to take a look at what we eat. The recipes contain ingredients which are readily available, easy to make and simply delicious but do not excite our blood sugar levels. You will have noted that the recipes do not contain meat or fish, this is a personal preference. To recognise the contents of a recipe in relationship to diabetes, even if meat or fish form a part, is the most important factor. Take care of yourself

Maria
Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman (1798) is a novel by English writer, philosopher, and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. Intended as a fictional sequel to A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), a groundbreaking work of feminism and political philosophy, Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman was published posthumously by Wollstonecraft’s husband, anarchist philosopher and writer William Godwin.Denied her autonomy, Maria is sent to an insane asylum by her husband, a wealthy aristocrat. Separated from her child and unable to advocate on her own behalf, Maria is fortunate to befriend Jemima, an attendant from the lower classes who empathizes with Maria’s situation. Jemima secretly provides her with books, inadvertently introducing her to the marginalia of Henry Darnford, another inmate at the asylum. The three grow close, sharing their stories with one another. Darnford reveals his troubled past and struggles with alcohol, Jemima discloses her experiences as an abused orphan-turned-prostitute, and Maria discusses her abusive marriage to George Venables. As she turned toward literature and intellectual life to avoid George’s affairs and frequent gambling, Maria found herself desperately looking for a way out. After several escape attempts, George—who had been scheming for years to frame his wife in order to divorce her—conspires to send her to the asylum, taking their child and cutting off contact with Maria. Although unfinished, Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman explores the themes of her political and philosophical writings while illuminating the injustices suffered by women and lower class individuals in English society.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Mary Wollstonecraft’s Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Merian
Curious and independent, Maria Sibylla Merian lived an unconventional life for the 17th century. Having grown up in a family of artists, she became one herself. At age 50, her interest in exotic butterflies led her to voyage to Suriname in South America. Her artistic studies from the rainforest would later form the basis of her vivid engravings.

Lavinia Fontana
A groundbreaking reassessment of the Italian painter Lavinia FontanaDrawing together new findings and long-overlooked evidence, this book makes the case that Lavinia Fontana (1552–1614) was a highly innovative artist, particularly in the field of erotic art. It highlights the crucial role played by her elite patrons and the sophisticated cultural circles in which she worked, and also offers a new history of the Aphrodite Kallipygia motif (“Venus with the Beautiful Bottom”), bringing together the relevant imagery and texts to trace its development and significance.At the book's heart is a previously unknown painting depicting three female nudes. Unpublished and unstudied until now, the work demonstrates extraordinary finesse and technical precision. Its unusual support, which subtly reflects the viewer, heightens the painting’s sense of intimacy and invites a direct encounter with the figures—one of whom is identified as Maria de’ Medici, soon to be Queen of France. The book traces the far-reaching implications of this striking identification and the iconographic innovations the painting introduces. A second key work, Mars and Venus, is newly attributed to Fontana.

Mathematical Foundations of Imaging, Tomography and Wavefield Inversion
Inverse problems are of interest and importance across many branches of physics, mathematics, engineering and medical imaging. In this text, the foundations of imaging and wavefield inversion are presented in a clear and systematic way. The necessary theory is gradually developed throughout the book, progressing from simple wave equation based models to vector wave models. By combining theory with numerous MATLAB based examples, the author promotes a complete understanding of the material and establishes a basis for real world applications. Key topics of discussion include the derivation of solutions to the inhomogeneous and homogeneous Helmholtz equations using Green function techniques; the propagation and scattering of waves in homogeneous and inhomogeneous backgrounds; and the concept of field time reversal. Bridging the gap between mathematics and physics, this multidisciplinary book will appeal to graduate students and researchers alike. Additional resources including MATLAB codes and solutions are available online at www.cambridge.org/9780521119740.

Set on a journey that brings him face to face with bitterex-bandmates, post pandemic cults, corrupt council employees, conspiracytheorists and a messianic club owner – all the while helped (or hindered) byDebs Endicott, volatile adult daughter of the deceased - Max discovers that thesecret behind Jimmy’s death lies in a past he has mostly managed to forget. Until now.Told over 45 tracks, and divided into Side A and Side B,“Black Vinyl” is part mystery, part alternative history, part fracturedmemorial to the ghosts of the 80s music scene, all played out as though on ascratched record that keeps skipping back to the same haunting refrain: “Jimmy Endicott was murdered.”
