Parlez with the Hoi Polloi and Make Your Chatter Matter, With 150 Conversation Starters for Every Occasion, from First Dates to Last Orders. Silence is seldom misquoted, but it's also easily misinterpreted. Being a wallflower might keep you out of trouble, but it also keeps you out of the in-crowd. It's okay, you don't need to stay long; just long enough to make an impression. No more awkward pauses The ice won't break itself, but most people are merely waiting for that to happen.

Learn how to elegantly impose yourself with C.P. Sharpe's Icebreakers: 150 questions for every situation, from dating to dining, from casual get-togethers to formal gatherings. Draw from an arsenal of posers that are both silly and serious, personal and pertinent, where the conversation has already been started for you. C.P. Sharpe knows all about social anxiety and not knowing what to say. Being the one to create the awkward silence only makes it worse.

Policies, Programs and People That Shape Innovation in Housing

Policies, Programs and People That Shape Innovation in Housing

Momentum Press
2015
nidottu
Businesses, consumers, industry groups, and governments understand the importance of innovation and the innovation process for continued economic success and improvements in quality of life. However, innovation remains an opaque topic. A paradox exists in housing at-large; using innovation is vital yet accounting for the value to individual organizations remains a challenge. This paradox is supported by a landscape that includes a sizeable graveyard of failed attempts at innovation on grand and small scales.This book seeks to decrease the opacity of innovation processes in residential construction and housing. Along with the next book in the collection, this book addresses key questions pertinent to the potential for widespread diffusion of green buildings and for improvements in community sustainability. The overarching purpose of this book is to provide context and foundation for later books in the collection and to assist readers in peeling back the complex layers of innovation in housing and residential construction.

Shapes and Geometries

Shapes and Geometries

M. C. Delfour; J. P. Zolesio

Society for Industrial Applied Mathematics,U.S.
2010
sidottu
This considerably enriched new edition provides a self-contained presentation of the mathematical foundations, constructions, and tools necessary for studying problems where the modeling, optimization, or control variable is the shape or the structure of a geometric object. Shapes and Geometries presents the latest ground-breaking theoretical foundation to shape optimization in a form that can be used by the engineering and scientific communities. It also clearly explains the state-of-the-art developments in a mathematical language that will attract mathematicians to open questions in this important field. A series of generic examples has been added to the introduction and special emphasis has been put on the construction of important metrics. Advanced engineers in various application areas use basic ideas of shape optimization, but often encounter difficulties due to the sophisticated mathematical foundations for the field. This new version of the book challenges these difficulties by showing how the mathematics community has made extraordinary progress in establishing a rational foundation for shape optimization.This area of research is very broad, rich, and fascinating from both theoretical and numerical standpoints. It is applicable in many different areas such as fluid mechanics, elasticity theory, modern theories of optimal design, free and moving boundary problems, shape and geometric identification, image processing, and design of endoprotheses in interventional cardiology.

C.P. Cavafy in the English and American Literary Scenes

C.P. Cavafy in the English and American Literary Scenes

Foteini Dimirouli

Oxford University Press
2025
sidottu
C.P. Cavafy in the English and American Literary Scenes: Authorising the Other explores the global reputation of the Greek-Alexandrian poet C.P. Cavafy in relation to literary networks of the twentieth century. It examines how the writings of E.M. Forster, Lawrence Durrell, W.H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Joseph Brodsky, and James Merrill played a key role in establishing Cavafy's standing in world literature and shaping perceptions of his authorial identity. Moving beyond conventional studies of reception, the book argues that the poet's authorisation by his author-champions was inherently reciprocal: while these influential writers propelled the steady rise of Cavafy's fame in England and America, they simultaneously reinforced their own authority as cultural arbiters. The analysis of overlooked aspects of these authors' critical essays, translations, and fictionalised portrayals, reveals how their readings and presentation of Cavafy were shaped by their cultural preferences and ideological affiliations, ranging from British liberal humanism to Eurocentric exilic narratives, and from Cold War politics to queer poetics. By considering both published texts and unknown archival material about Cavafy, this book sheds light on the mobilisation of his poetry and persona to serve the artistic agendas of his authorisers. At once a history of literary mediation and a study of the dynamics that shape literary reputation, C.P. Cavafy in the English and American Literary Scenes rethinks the making of transnational cultural legitimacy and the mutual dependencies that sustain it.

C.P.E. Bach Studies

C.P.E. Bach Studies

Cambridge University Press
2009
nidottu
C. P. E. Bach Studies collects together nine wide-ranging essays by leading scholars of eighteenth-century music. Offering fresh perspectives on one of the towering figures of the period, the authors explore Bach's music in its cultural contexts, and show in diverse and complementary ways the reciprocal relationship between Bach's work and contemporary literary, theological, and aesthetic debates. Topics include Bach's relation to theories of sensibility and the sublime; the free fantasy and concepts of self and being; and Bach's engagement with music history and the legacy of his predecessors. Wider questions of C. P. E. Bach reception also play an important part in the book, which explores not only the interpretation of Bach's music in his time, but also its reception over the two centuries since his death.

Princeton University Press
1992
pokkari
C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) lived in relative obscurity in Alexandria, and a collected edition of his poems was not published until after his death. Now, however, he is regarded as the most important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems are considered among the most powerful in modern European literature. Here is an extensively revised edition of the acclaimed translations of Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard, which capture Cavafy's mixture of formal and idiomatic use of language and preserve the immediacy of his frank treatment of homosexual themes, his brilliant re-creation of history, and his astute political ironies. The resetting of the entire edition has permitted the translators to review each poem and to make alterations where appropriate. George Savidis has revised the notes according to his latest edition of the Greek text. About the first edition: "The best [English version] we are likely to see for some time."--James Merrill, The New York Review of Books "[Keeley and Sherrard] have managed the miracle of capturing this elusive, inimitable, unforgettable voice. It is the most haunting voice I know in modern poetry."--Walter Kaiser, The New Republic
