This luminous family saga from one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists is a must for fans of Anne Tyler and Jonathan Franzen. When the four Essinger children gather in Austin for Christmas, they all bring their news. Nathan is hoping to become a Federal judge. Susie's husband has taken a job in England. Jean has asked her boyfriend and boss to meet her family. Paul has broken up with Dana, mother of their son Cal. But their parents have plans, too, and invite Dana to stay, hoping to bring the couple back together. As the week unfolds, the Essingers all face conflicts of loyalty and tensions between old families and new. Rich, intimate, and deeply perceptive, Benjamin Markovits' Christmas in Austin beautifully explores the deep-rooted division between the world we grow up in, and the life we make for ourselves.

Mathematics from Leningrad to Austin

Mathematics from Leningrad to Austin

Birkhauser Boston Inc
1997
sidottu
This "Select a" contains approximately two thirds of the papers my 1932 to 1994. These papers are divided into four fields. father wrote from The first volume contains the papers on 1) Summability and Number Theory and 2) Interpolation. The second volume contains the fields 3) Real and Functional Analysis and 4) Approximation Theory. Each of these four groups of papers is introduced by a review of the contents and significance, respectively of the impact of these papers. The first volume contains, in addition, an autobiography, a complete list of publications, a list of doctoral students and four unpublished essays on mathematics in general: a) A report on the University of Leningrad b) On the work of the mathematical mind c) Proofs in Mathematics d) About Mathematical books. The report on the University of Leningrad, written in the late '40's, is a unique historical document which is still of current interest for several reasons. It is of interest for professional reasons since it contains a com­ plete description of a mathematics majors' curriculum through his entire course of studies. From it one can see both the changes and invariants of course material as well as the students' course load. Then one can also see the consequences of admittedly extreme political intervention in uni­ versity affairs. Today we use the term "politically correct", but in those times being politically correct was a matter of life and death.

Lost in Austin

Lost in Austin

University of Nevada Press
2009
nidottu
Lost in Austin is fascinating reading for anyone who cherishes nostalgic memories of living in a small town, or who contemplates moving to one. It offers an engaging portrait of a Nevada that exists far from the glitz and glitter of Las Vegas and Reno, 'a happy Bermuda Triangle' where rugged individualism and community spirit flourish amidst sagebrush and vast open spaces.

Doc List's Austin Bodies Project: The Light Sessions

Doc List's Austin Bodies Project: The Light Sessions

Doc List

Anotherthought Inc.
2018
sidottu
We all have bodies. Some of us are highly focused on their development and maintenance. Austin, Texas is a city in which many people go to gyms, run, play sports, and otherwise challenge their bodies. In this project, Doc List has focused on the shapes and movement of those bodies. Through eliminating the distraction of clothing, Doc's work brings the bodies to the fore, examining each individual's unique body and shape. The people in this book are not models. They are athletes, baseball players, bodybuilders, yogis, soccer players, Spartan racers, trainers, and in some cases just plain folks who like to participate. Each image tells a piece of their story.

Excavations at the Austin Friary, Hull, Yorkshire, 1994 and 1999, Part 1, details the excavations of the Austin Friary in Hull, a house founded in 1316/17 and surrendered to the Crown in 1539. With the excavations exposing the majority of the church, all the East Range, most of the West Range and almost all of the Garth, this volume highlights the exceptional survival of objects, both organic remains and structures. 260 articulated burials are detailed as well as the associated sepulchral remains, including 44 oak coffins, a significant assemblage of textile remains and a wealth of dress-accessories. The later era of the of the Austin Friary is explored, with the story of the conversion into a large secular holding with standing buildings as late as the 1790s through to the development of three public houses, of a Georgian Butchers’ Shambles and a Victorian Market Hall set out. The story ends in 1941 when the whole area was extensively bombed and largely raised to the ground during the Hull Blitz. This book is for researchers and archaeologists interested in the archaeology of medieval Britain as well as the role of Christianity in the Middle Ages.
