Introduction to Programming in Python
Author: Robert Sedgewick
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional
ISBN: 0134076524
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 1487
Book Description
Today, anyone in a scientific or technical discipline needs programming skills. Python is an ideal first programming language, and Introduction to Programming in Python is the best guide to learning it. Princeton University’s Robert Sedgewick, Kevin Wayne, and Robert Dondero have crafted an accessible, interdisciplinary introduction to programming in Python that emphasizes important and engaging applications, not toy problems. The authors supply the tools needed for students to learn that programming is a natural, satisfying, and creative experience. This example-driven guide focuses on Python’s most useful features and brings programming to life for every student in the sciences, engineering, and computer science. Coverage includes Basic elements of programming: variables, assignment statements, built-in data types, conditionals, loops, arrays, and I/O, including graphics and sound Functions, modules, and libraries: organizing programs into components that can be independently debugged, maintained, and reused Object-oriented programming and data abstraction: objects, modularity, encapsulation, and more Algorithms and data structures: sort/search algorithms, stacks, queues, and symbol tables Examples from applied math, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science—all compatible with Python 2 and 3 Drawing on their extensive classroom experience, the authors provide Q&As, exercises, and opportunities for creative practice throughout. An extensive amount of supplementary information is available at introcs.cs.princeton.edu/python. With source code, I/O libraries, solutions to selected exercises, and much more, this companion website empowers people to use their own computers to teach and learn the material.

The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature
Author: Roberto Gonzalez Echevarría
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521410359
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 896
Book Description
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature is by far the most comprehensive work of its kind ever written. Its three volumes cover the whole sweep of Latin American literature (including Brazilian) from pre-Colombian times to the present, and contain chapters on Latin American writing in the USA. Volume 3 is devoted partly to the history of Brazilian literature, from the earliest writing through the colonial period and the Portuguese-language traditions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and partly also to an extensive bibliographical section in which annotated reading lists relating to the chapters in all three volumes of The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature are presented. These bibliographies are a unique feature of the History, further enhancing its immense value as a reference work.

Alejo Carpentier
Author: Roberto González Echevarría
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292704178
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Alejo Carpentier was one of the greatest Latin American novelists of the twentieth century, as well as a musicologist, journalist, cultural promoter, and diplomat. His fictional world issues from an encyclopedic knowledge of the history, art, music, and literature of Latin America and Europe. Carpentier’s novels and stories are the enabling discourse of today’s Latin American narrative, and his interpretation of Latin American history has been among the most influential. Carpentier was the first to provide a comprehensive view of Caribbean history that centered on the contribution of Africans, above and beyond the differences created by European cultures and languages. Alejo Carpentier: The Pilgrim at Home, first published in 1977 and updated for this edition, covers the life and works of the great Cuban novelist, offering a new perspective on the relationship between the two. González Echevarría offers detailed readings of the works La música en Cuba, The Kingdom of This World, The Lost Steps, and Explosion in a Cathedral. In a new concluding chapter, he takes up Carpentier’s last years, his relationship with the Cuban revolutionary regime, and his last two novels, El arpa y la sombra and La consagración de la primavera, in which Carpentier reviewed his life and career.

The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City
Author: Jean FRANCO
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674037170
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
The cultural Cold War in Latin America was waged as a war of values--artistic freedom versus communitarianism, Western values versus national cultures, the autonomy of art versus a commitment to liberation struggles--and at a time when the prestige of literature had never been higher. The projects of the historic avant-garde were revitalized by an anti-capitalist ethos and envisaged as the opposite of the republican state. The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City charts the conflicting universals of this period, the clash between avant-garde and political vanguard. This was also a twilight of literature at the threshold of the great cultural revolution of the seventies and eighties, a revolution to which the Cold War indirectly contributed. In the eighties, civil war and military rule, together with the rapid development of mass culture and communication empires, changed the political and cultural map. A long-awaited work by an eminent Latin Americanist widely read throughout the world, this book will prove indispensable to anyone hoping to understand Latin American literature and society. Jean Franco guides the reader across minefields of cultural debate and histories of highly polarized struggle. Focusing on literary texts by Garcia Marquez, Vargas Llosa, Roa Bastos, and Juan Carlos Onetti, conducting us through this contested history with the authority of an eyewitness, Franco gives us an engaging overview as involving as it is moving.

Letters from 74 Rue Taitbout
Author: William Saroyan
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Imaginary letters, American
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
The unsent letter, the unwritten letter, the letter that begins to write itself in the mind as soon as a human language is learned is a universal experience--as natural, as inevitable, as constant and continuous as breathing itself. The battling spirit must seek to make contact with, and to reply to, those loved, those despised, those cherished, and those rejected. In the summer of 1967, in Paris, William Saroyan, aged fifty-nine, believed he might be ready to put a number of such letters into writing, at last. The letters are addressed to: The Only One; Armenak of Bitlis ; Dr. Freud, Dr. Jung, and Dr. Adler ; Hovagim Saroyan; Calouste Gulbenkian; Guy de Maupassant; The Match Girl; Prof-Kalfayan; Sammy Isaacs; Al Devarine; Samuel L. Clemens; Dikran Saroyan; Joe Gould; Miss Carmichael, Miss Thompson, Miss Brockington, Miss Clifford, Miss Chambers; Honoré de Balzac; Sam Catanzaro; Vahan Minasian; Geoffrey Faber; Robert McAlmon; Lawrence Colt; Yeghishe Charentz; Adolf Hitler; Carl Sandburg; Emory L. Ralston; Dr. Harold Fraser; Benito Mussolini; The Lion of Judah; Jacob Ahbood; Dr. Anoushavan Chomp; L. B. Mayer; Anybody. The letters speak for themselves.
