Tsing

David Albahari
A beautifully written prose work, Tsing is a multi-layered narrative that combines a wholly fictional novel-within-a-novel with an episodic chronicle of the narrator's present as a traveler to and visiting writer in the United States. Much more than an "ordinary" postmodern text, Tsing is a quiet and moving paean to the narrator's deceased father. Beginning with a series of imagined vignettes involving a father and a daughter, Albahari weaves both real and imagined narrative fragments together with considerable skill. As Albahari's fragments - simple stories about persons approaching each other, spending some time together, and eventually going their separate ways - accumulate, his deft combination of paradox and poetry provides a kaleidoscopic view of memory, love, and loneliness.

The Argonauts of North Liberty

Bret Harte
Bret Harte was an American author and poet, best remembered for his accounts of pioneering life in California. Harte moved to California in 1853, later working there in a number of capacities, including miner, teacher, messenger, and journalist. His story, "The Luck of Roaring Camp," appearing in The Overland Monthly magazine, propelled Harte to nationwide fame. The Argonauts of North Liberty is a longer tale by Harte. Taking place in a staunchly reserved Presbyterian society, it illustrates in its heroine the revolt of an unruly and unregenerate nature against a Puritan society. North Liberty is a Connecticut town, and the "Argonauts" are a man and woman who migrate to California to begin life again, escaping the strictures of their earlier life, like the "Blue Law" setting of the opening. Once in California, Harte's feel for the time and setting can take full flower.

Atlas der Beleuchtungsbilder des Trommelfells im gesunden und kranken Zustande

Politzer, Adam
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 Excerpt: ...inneren Trommelhöhlenwand nähert, desto deutlicher erscheint die rothe oder rothgelbe Farbe der Trommelhöhlenschleimhaut innerhalb der Perforationsöffnung. Bei grösseren Defecten treten die Details an der inneren Trommelhöhlenwand klarer zu Tasre. Die freiliegende Schleimhaut der Promontorialwand findet sich in verschiedenen Nuancen hell-oder dunkelroth. glatt oder chagrinirt Rohre r). uneben, stellenweise von gelben oder weissen Epidermis-und Exsudatplaques bedeckt, mit einzelnen oder zahlreichen, unregelmässigen Liehtrefiexen übersäet. Ist die Schleimhaut nur wenig aufgewulstet. so können die anatomischen Details der inneren Trommelhöhlenwand deutlich unterschieden werden. Ist sie hingegen durch massenhafte Zelleninfiltration um das Mehrfache ihres normalen Durchmessers verdickt und infiltrirt, und die Vertiefungen der Promontorialwand ausgeglichen, so erscheint sie als ebene oder drusige, rothe Fläche, an der keine Details mehr unterschieden werden können. Perforationen vor dem Hammergriff, die bis nahe zur vorderen Trommelfellperipherie reichen, lassen ausser dem vorderen Abschnitte der inneren Trommelhöhlenwand auch die dunkle Vertiefung des Ost. tymp. tubae erkennen (VII, 9, 10, 13). Ist die hintere Trommelfellhälfte defect, so können je nach der Ausdehnung der Perforationsöffnung das vorspringende Promontorium, über diesem die Ambossstapesverbindung (VII, 21) und unterhalb des Promontoriums und etwas nach hinten von ihm die dunkle Nische des runden Fensters unterschieden werden (VII, 24, 27). Im Verlaufe chronischer Mittelohreiterungen schiessen nicht selten an der inneren Trommelhöhlenwand Granulationen und polypöse Wucherungen auf, die entweder in ei...
