Frankenstein

作者：  Mary Shelley

出版社： Macmillan 2005

简介：The Original Gothic-Horror Literary Classic! Mary Shelley's deceptively simple story of Victor Frankenstein and the creature he brings to life, first published in 1818, is now more widely read-and more widely discussed by scholars-than any other work of the Romantic period. From the creature's creation to his wild lament over the dead body of his creator in the Arctic wastes, the story retains its narrative hold on the reader even as it spins off ideas in rich profusion.About the Author: Mary Shelley (30 August 1797 - 1 February 1851) was a British novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer, best known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin, and her mother was the philosopher and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. She died in London in 1851.This is the definitive collectors edition and is a stunning and impressive uanabridged representation of a classic literary work. - Publisher's Weekly

Pride of place : how the lottery contributed f1 billion to the arts in England /

作者：  edited by Alex Stetter

出版社：

简介：　　The Arts Council of England has allocated lottery-funded Capital grants totaling #1 billion to more than 2,000 projects over the last five years. Apart from putting the spotlight on the future of the arts, the distribution of lottery-funded grants has kick-started a vast programme of new building. This book looks at four cities that have benefited from the scheme, and introduces a selection of individual projects and the personalities that made them happen. The Arts Council's programme has led to the construction of new landmark buildings around England, from the New Gallery in Walsall to the Globe Theatre in London, as well as providing support for hundreds of small-scale projects. But has this additional money led to a better experience for visitors? Have the Lottery millions provided better environments for artists to show their work? Through a series of essays and photographic studies, this book analyses the successes and failures of this ambitious programme of investment.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Sternberg (psychology, Yale University) emphasizes the theme of unity in psychological sciences in this fourth edition of a text/CD-ROM package formerly titled Psychology: In Search of the Human Mind . This edition has been edited for readability and interest, and includes new boxed features on how psychologists from different disciplines would treat the same condition. Also new are expanded quizzes, critical thinking questions, and chapter summaries. The CD-ROM contains animations, activities, and videos. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 Accomplished, respected, and dedicated to his field, Robert Sternberg shows students that the discipline of psychology is much greater than just the sum of its specialized parts. As an active researcher, teacher, and current President of APA (American Psychological Association), Sternberg is uniquely qualified to mix recent research with student-friendly applications. The mission of his text is to teach introductory psychology students to understand and think about the field as psychologists do--to learn that, in the search to understand the human mind, psychology is both a product and process. To demonstrate this balance, the text embraces biological, cognitive, developmental, social-psychological, and clinical approaches equally. It emphasizes the interactions among these different approaches through Sternberg's emphasis on lab applications and through his "Unifying Psychology" features, which are found throughout the text. Sternberg demonstrates his commitment to students' learning by integrating not only the latest research, but also through new pedagogy that represents the best of learning theory--including chunking, primacy, and recency. The result is a text that is ideal for students who want to learn core concepts as a means for preparing for a potential major or career in psychology.
