書名:Norse Mythology 作者:Gaiman 出版社:NORTON 出版日期:2017/02/07 ISBN:9780393609097 內容簡介 我要告訴你們世界如何滅亡,以及世界又是如何重新開始; 我要告訴你們的是黑暗的日子和隱藏的事物, 有關大地毀滅和眾神之死―― 那是一切終結的開始。   故事之神的靈感,來自深暗的北方大地,   奇幻文學的雛型,來自英勇的北歐眾神!   知名作家尼爾‧蓋曼出道二十餘年,在出版無數暢銷作後,回歸創作初衷,化身說書人,對讀者重述影響他最深的靈感來源――北歐神話。尼爾•蓋曼從大地仍一片荒蕪、萬事萬物仍不存在的時刻說起。他描述奧丁與其手足的出生,以及他們為了擁有宇宙、生命與未來,殺死困住自己的巨人;他寫到奧丁創造人類,並創造供人類居住的米德嘉世界,並為求取智慧獻上一眼。蓋曼寫下索爾每一次勇敢的冒險,每一個魯莽的決定,還有那柄得心應手的戰鎚從何而來。當然,他也沒有忘了洛基――謊言之神、詭辯之神。假使洛基決定與你結盟,你將感到幸運;若你不幸與他為敵,你將後悔萬分。   跟隨蓋曼的文字,你會感到自己彷彿順著世界樹的樹根,造訪北歐神話中的九個世界;你可以感受阿斯嘉震懾神與人的氣勢,畏懼行走於約頓海姆間的冰霜巨人,讚嘆居住在奧弗海姆的光明精靈的美貌,或因不敢直視地底的亡者國度而別開眼神。最後,當諸神的守護者海姆達爾吹響號角,「諸神黃昏」――世界終結之時即將來臨。無論眾神身在何處、無論他們睡得有多沉,一定會醒來,整裝前去參與這最後的一戰。   眾神注定一死,然而,唯有死亡使所有生命變得可能。   這就是結束。   但新時代也將在結束之後來臨。 好評不斷   蓋曼用現代風格的輕鬆幽默述說故事,《北歐眾神》描繪出眾神間爾虞我詐的鬥智,同時刻劃他們的英武神勇,讀來趣味橫生。――《波士頓環球報》   除了尼爾‧蓋曼以外,還有誰能擔任天神的同謀,運用文字的巫術來使天神的故事改頭換面?《美國眾神》的作者將北歐神話故事轉化成令大人小孩都上癮的讀物,他充滿能量的強勢重述保留了北歐世界的不朽輝煌,但同時也將之變為一個使人能接近的世界,充滿逗趣機智和黑暗趣味。――《格林童話註釋版》翻譯暨編輯瑪麗亞‧塔塔爾   數百年來,源自《散文艾達》與《詩歌艾達》的迷人古老故事,總是需要才華洋溢的說書人來替它們注入新生命。尼爾‧蓋曼以豐沛的熱情重新述說迷人的北歐神話,沒人比得上他。蓋曼深刻地瞭解奧丁、索爾、洛基和其他天神的衝突,他透過個人想像的描述,將這些故事賦予新生。他對於重要北歐神話故事的詮釋,將吸引讀者進入奇異的領域,使他們眼花繚亂、迷惘困惑,並進而對北歐神話故事有新的體悟。――《諾頓兒童文學選輯》編輯傑克‧齊普斯   引人入勝、懸疑刺激又相當了不起的神話再現之作。一旦你被蓋曼經過千錘百鍊的文字和熟練的說故事技巧吸住,你會情不自禁一直讀下去。――《華盛頓郵報》   二十一世紀風格揉合千年北歐神話,蓋曼再次以他的文采為現代讀者創造出全新的類型。――《新聞週刊》   蓋曼重新詮釋古代寓言的筆觸如此忠實,又添加豐富的閱讀樂趣。蓋曼擔任了吟遊詩人的角色,帶著我們在寒冷冬夜聚在熱呼呼的爐火邊,跟他一起歡笑、一同天馬行空。――金融時報   極品之作……蓋曼版本的北歐神話給了維京民族一個令人迷醉其中的當代面貌。――大西洋月刊 ---中文簡介擷取自中譯本《北歐眾神》,木馬文化出版 Introducing an instant classic―master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse myths.   Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales.   In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki―son of a giant―blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.   Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor’s hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman―difficult with his beard and huge appetite―to steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir―the most sagacious of gods―is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people.   Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge these gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.

STOCHAST PARTIAL DIFFERENT EQUATION ADDITIVE GAUSSIAN NOISE

STOCHAST PARTIAL DIFFERENT EQUATION ADDITIVE GAUSSIAN NOISE

類似書籍推薦給您

The stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) arise in many applications of the probability theory. This monograph will focus on two particular (and probably the most known) equations: the stochastic heat equation and the stochastic wave equation. The focus is on the relationship between the solutions to the SPDEs and the fractional Brownian motion (and related processes). An important point of the analysis is the study of the asymptotic behavior of the p-variations of the solutions to the heat or wave equations driven by space-time Gaussian noise or by a Gaussian noise with a non-trivial correlation in space. The book is addressed to public with a reasonable background in probability theory. The idea is to keep it self-contained and avoid using of complex techniques. We also chose to insist on the basic properties of the random noise and to detail the construction of the Wiener integration with respect to them. The intention is to present the proofs complete and detailed.

A GUIDE TO NOISE IN MICROWAVE CIRCUITS A fulsome exploration of critical considerations in microwave circuit noise In A Guide to Noise in Microwave Circuits: Devices, Circuits, and Measurement, a team of distinguished researchers deliver a comprehensive introduction to noise in microwave circuits, with a strong focus on noise characterization of devices and circuits. The book describes fluctuations beginning with their physical origin and touches on the general description of noise in linear and non-linear circuits. Several chapters are devoted to the description of noise measurement ­techniques and the interpretation of measured data. A full chapter is dedicated to noise sources as well, including thermal, shot, plasma, and current. A Guide to Noise in Microwave Circuits offers examples of measurement problems―like low noise block (LNB) of satellite television – and explores equipment and measurement methods, like the Y, cold source, and 7-state method. This book also includes: A thorough introduction to foundational terms in microwave circuit noise, including average values, amplitude distribution, autocorrelation, cross-correlation, and noise spectra Comprehensive explorations of common noise sources, including thermal noise, the Nyquist formula and thermal radiation, shot noise, plasma noise, and more Practical discussions of noise and linear networks, including narrowband noise In-depth examinations of calculation methods for noise quantities, including noise voltages, currents, and spectra, the noise correlation matrix, and the noise of simple passive networks Perfect for graduate students specializing in microwave and wireless electronics, A Guide to Noise in Microwave Circuits: Devices, Circuits, and Measurement will also earn a place in the libraries of professional engineers working in microwave or wireless circuits and system design.
