Paperback. Condizione: New. Kazuo Ishiguro is one of the finest and most accomplished contemporary writers of his generation. The short story author, television writer and novelist, included twice in Grantas list of Best Young British Writers, has over the past twenty-five years produced a body of work which is just as critically-acclaimed as it is popular with the general public. Like the writings of Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguros work is concerned with creating discursive platforms for issues of class, ethics, ethnicity, nationhood, place, gender and the uses and problems surrounding artistic representation. As a Japanese immigrant who came to Great Britain in 1960, Ishiguro has used his unique position and fine intellectual abilities to contemplate what it means to be British in the contemporary era. This guide traces the main themes throughout Ishiguros writing whilst it also pays attention to his short stories and writing for television. It includes a new interview with the author, a preface by Haruki Murakami and discussion of James Ivorys adaptation of The Remains of the Day.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Kazuo Ishiguro is one of the finest contemporary authors who possesses that increasingly rare distinction of being a writer who is both popular with the general reading public and well-respected within the academic community. Kazuo Ishiguro: New Critical Visions of the Novels presents eighteen fresh perspectives on the author's work that will appeal to those who read him for pleasure or for purposes of study.Established and rising critics reassess Ishiguro's works from the early 'Japanese' novels through to his short story cycle Nocturnes, paying particular attention to The Remains of the Day, The Unconsoled, When We Were Orphans and Never Let Me Go. They address universal themes such as history, memory and mortality, but also provide groundbreaking explorations of diverse areas ranging from the posthuman and 'minor literature' to ethics, science fiction and Ishiguro's musical imagination.Featuring an insightful interview with Ishiguro himself, this collection of essays constitutes a significant contribution to the appreciation of his novels, and forms a lively and nuanced constellation of critical enquiry.Preface by Brian W. Shaffer. Essays by: Jeannette Baxter, Caroline Bennett, Christine Berberich, Lydia R.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - To prove the exact severity of modern climate change, scientists must know exactly what the Earth's atmosphere was made of hundreds of thousands of years ago. They cannot rely on fossils; they need physical samples of the ancient air itself. Those samples are locked inside microscopic bubbles, buried under three miles of solid, freezing ice in Antarctica.This technical volume explores the extreme, specialized engineering of deep ice core drilling. We detail the mechanical nightmare of operating massive, hollow drill bits in -40 degree weather, where standard metal becomes brittle and lubricants freeze solid. Engineers must carefully lower drills on kilometers of steel cable, extracting three-meter-long, flawless cylinders of ancient ice without cracking them.The narrative dissects the crucial handling logistics. Once brought to the surface, the ice core cannot be exposed to modern air. It must be hermetically sealed, cataloged, and transported across oceans in specialized freezers to elite laboratories, where lasers and mass spectrometers measure the trapped carbon dioxide to chart the paleoclimatic history of the world.Uncover the frozen archives of the planet. A brutal journey into the mechanical science of pulling ancient, breathable time capsules out of the crushing depths of the ice sheet.
