Author: Christie McDonald File Type: pdf Proust and the Arts brings together expert Proustians and renowned interdisciplinary scholars in a major reconsideration of the novelists relation to the arts. Going beyond the classic question of the models used by Proust for his fictional artists, the essays collected here explore how he learned from and integrated, in highly personal ways, the work of such creators as Wagner or Carpaccio. This volume reveals the breadth of Prousts engagement with varied art forms from different eras from primitive arts to sound recordings, from medieval sculpture to Art Nouveau glassmaking, from portrait photography to the private art of doodling. Chapters bring into focus issues of perception and detail in examining how Proust encountered and responded to works of art, and attend to the ways art shaped his complex relationship to identity, sexuality, humor, and the craft of writing. **Book Description Proust and the Arts brings together expert Proustians and renowned interdisciplinary scholars in a major reconsideration of the novelists complex relation to the arts.

Author: Raymond F. Bulman File Type: pdf The second Vatican Council was convened by Pope John XXIII between 1962 and 1965. It marked a fundamental shift toward the modern Church and its far-reaching innovations replaced or radically changed many of the practices, rules, and attitudes that had dominated Catholic life and culture since the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century. In this book a distinguished team of historians and theologians offers an impartial investigation of the relationship between Vatican II and Trent by examining such issues as Eucharistic theology, liturgical change, clerical reform, the laity, the role of women, marriage, confession, devotion to Mary, and interfaith understanding. As the first book to present such a comprehensive study of the connection between the two great Councils, this is an invaluable resource for students, theologians, and church historians, as well as for bishops, clergy, and religious educators.

Author: Robert Hickey File Type: pdf The first edition of this title proved the most successful of the Portable Handbook series launched in 1999. Aimed at electrical engineers and technicians working in building power systems, the relentlessly practical Handbook succeeded as an in the field working tool. This new edition is necessitated by the new 2002 version of the National Electrical Code (NEC). This code changes render much of the existing material obsolete, so over half the chapters require heavy rewrites to stay current.ReviewThe power quality engineer working in the field is often faced with having to design or modify field installations without the benefif of his libary and reference books...The Electrical Engineers Portable Hanbook is intened to alleviate this problem by being an all-in-one, quick guide to sizing cable, conduit, motor starters, transformers, service entrances, and to perform short circuit studies, transformer ratings, voltage drop calculations -- to name a few. ...If you are a design engineer, consultant, electrical construction cost estimator or facilities engineer you need a copy of the Electrical Engineers Portable Handbook in your briefcase. -- Power Quality Assurance, January 2000From the Back CoverTHE NO. 1 ON-THE-JOB ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING REFERENCEThis quick-look-up working tool, packed with tables, charts, and checklists, takes the guesswork out of almost any electrical design task or calculation. Indispensable for electrical engineers, designers, and technicians, the Handbook provides immediate fingertip access to the fundamental information busy professionals need for everyday use in the field. This new Second Edition has been totally revised to reflect the 2002 National Electrical Code(R) and also includes new sections on telecommunications-structured cabling systems, dissipation array system technology for lightning protection, and blown optical fiber technology.
