Winnaar Pulitzer Prize 2016 voor beste (auto)biografie De jonge boekenwurm William groeit op in Hawaï, waar hij terechtkomt op een moeilijke school in een achterstandswijk van Honolulu. Wanneer de sociale onrust in de jaren zestig aanzwelt, krijgt William het als onderdeel van de blanke minderheid zwaar te verduren. Dit verandert wanneer hij in aanraking komt met de voor hem nog onbekende wereld van het surfen. In het water wint William het respect van de Hawaïaanse jeugd, waarmee hij zijn eerste ervaringen opdoet in de angstaanjagend hoge golven van de zee. Op scherpzinnige, onnavolgbare wijze beschrijft Finnegan zijn levenslange obsessie met de zee, die hem ertoe aanzet de golven te achtervolgen over de hele wereld: van zijn jeugd in Hawaï, tot zijn omzwervingen langs de Stille Oceaan, Australië, Fiji en Madeira. Primitieve dagen is het overdonderende verslag van zijn avonturen op het water, maar bovenal van liefde, humor en kameraadschap. William Finnegan (1952) schrijft voor The New Yorker en wordt geroemd om zijn journalistieke oeuvre als internationaal verslaggever over armoede, racisme en politiek. Daarnaast is Finnegan bekend om zijn literaire werk over surfen. 'Nooit eerder verscheen er een boek met zulke scherpe observaties over de wereld van het surfen, en zeker nooit zo goed. (...) Dit is zonder twijfel het beste surfersboek dat ik ooit heb gelezen. Het is een stilistisch meesterwerk met nauwkeurige beschrijvingen, geschreven met een ongegeneerde en aanstekelijke ernst. Finnegan schreef niet alleen een surfersboek voor surfers, maar bovenal een boek over Amerikaanse jongensjaren. Vergelijkbaar met Jon Krakauers Into the Wild is het een bijzonder onderzoek naar wat er gebeurt als literaire ideeën over vrijheid en zuiverheid een jongeman in hun greep hebben, en hem leiden naar de verste uithoeken ter wereld.' THE NEW YORK TIMES 'Prachtig geschreven en bijzonder aangrijpend. (...) Ook wie de sport niet beoefent zal getrakteerd worden op een overdonderend reisverslag, rijk aan obscure en scherp waargenomen bestemmingen. Ik durf te beweren dat Finnegan een rolmodel is voor eenieder die volledig en zinderend wil leven.' THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

**Winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Autobiography** Included in President Obama’s 2016 Summer Reading List “Without a doubt, the finest surf book I’ve ever read . . . ” —The New York Times Magazine Barbarian Days is William Finnegan’s memoir of an obsession, a complex enchantment. Surfing only looks like a sport. To initiates, it is something else: a beautiful addiction, a demanding course of study, a morally dangerous pastime, a way of life. Raised in California and Hawaii, Finnegan started surfing as a child. He has chased waves all over the world, wandering for years through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa. A bookish boy, and then an excessively adventurous young man, he went on to become a distinguished writer and war reporter. Barbarian Days takes us deep into unfamiliar worlds, some of them right under our noses—off the coasts of New York and San Francisco. It immerses the reader in the edgy camaraderie of close male friendships forged in challenging waves. Finnegan shares stories of life in a whites-only gang in a tough school in Honolulu. He shows us a world turned upside down for kids and adults alike by the social upheavals of the 1960s. He details the intricacies of famous waves and his own apprenticeships to them. Youthful folly—he drops LSD while riding huge Honolua Bay, on Maui—is served up with rueful humor. As Finnegan’s travels take him ever farther afield, he discovers the picturesque simplicity of a Samoan fishing village, dissects the sexual politics of Tongan interactions with Americans and Japanese, and navigates the Indonesian black market while nearly succumbing to malaria. Throughout, he surfs, carrying readers with him on rides of harrowing, unprecedented lucidity. Barbarian Days is an old-school adventure story, an intellectual autobiography, a social history, a literary road movie, and an extraordinary exploration of the gradual mastering of an exacting, little-understood art.

Dag Prawitz On Proofs And Meaning written by Heinrich Wansing and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-11-27 with Philosophy categories.
This volume is dedicated to Prof. Dag Prawitz and his outstanding contributions to philosophical and mathematical logic. Prawitz's eminent contributions to structural proof theory, or general proof theory, as he calls it, and inference-based meaning theories have been extremely influential in the development of modern proof theory and anti-realistic semantics. In particular, Prawitz is the main author on natural deduction in addition to Gerhard Gentzen, who defined natural deduction in his PhD thesis published in 1934. The book opens with an introductory paper that surveys Prawitz's numerous contributions to proof theory and proof-theoretic semantics and puts his work into a somewhat broader perspective, both historically and systematically. Chapters include either in-depth studies of certain aspects of Dag Prawitz's work or address open research problems that are concerned with core issues in structural proof theory and range from philosophical essays to papers of a mathematical nature. Investigations into the necessity of thought and the theory of grounds and computational justifications as well as an examination of Prawitz's conception of the validity of inferences in the light of three “dogmas of proof-theoretic semantics” are included. More formal papers deal with the constructive behaviour of fragments of classical logic and fragments of the modal logic S4 among other topics. In addition, there are chapters about inversion principles, normalization of p roofs, and the notion of proof-theoretic harmony and other areas of a more mathematical persuasion. Dag Prawitz also writes a chapter in which he explains his current views on the epistemic dimension of proofs and addresses the question why some inferences succeed in conferring evidence on their conclusions when applied to premises for which one already possesses evidence.

Research, development, and applications in computer graphics have dramatically expanded in recent years. Because of decreasing prices, superior hardware is now being used and image quality is better than ever. Many people now require image-synthesis techniques and software for their applicaions. Moreover, the techniques of computer ani mation have become very popular. In this book, we present a wide range of applications of computer graphics. This book is a collection of 44 papers in various areas of computer graphics selected from papers presented at Graphics Interface '85. Graphics Interface '85, held from May 27 to 31 in Montreal, was the first truly international computer graphics conference in Canada. This year, for the first time, the conference was presented jointly by the Com puter Graphics Society and the Canadian Man-Computer Communications Society. This new arrangement gave the conference international scope. The conference was spon sored by the Department of Communications in Ottawa, the Department of Science and Technology in Quebec, Supply and Services Canada, the Natural Sciences and Engineer ing Research Council of Canada, Hydro-Quebec, the "Association Canadienne Fran«aise pour I' Avancement des Sciences", and the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora tion. Graphics Interface '85 was organized by "1'Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales" of the University of Montreal. Over 100 papers were submitted to the conference , but 64 were selected by the inter national program committee for presentation. This book contains new expanded versions of the papers.
