Self Help #4
ÒWho Shaves the Barber?ÓÊ Jerry Hauser has long been in over his head, which is one reason he assumed the identity of the globally popular but presumed-dead self-help guru.

El Museo / The Curator
De la pluma del autor superventas Owen King llega una novedad de fantasía dickensiana en la que los gatos son considerados dioses, los ladrones son nobles, los académicos son radicales y los conjugadores son los criminales más magníficos que puedas imaginar. Es un libro tan mágico como político, y está escrito con una hermosa destreza. - Neil Gaiman Mitad cuento de hadas y mitad relato de una revolución, El museo de Owen King está lleno de humor astuto, sensualidad y extravagancia. - Holly Black ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From New York Times bestselling author Owen King, who "writes with witty verve" (Entertainment Weekly) comes a "richly imagined" (The New York Times) Dickensian fantasy of illusion and charm where cats are revered as religious figures, thieves are noble, scholars are revolutionaries, and conjurers are the most wonderful criminals you can imagine. It begins in an unnamed city nicknamed "the Fairest", it is distinguished by many things from the river fair to the mountains that split the municipality in half; its theaters and many museums; the Morgue Ship; and, like all cities, but maybe especially so, by its essential unmappability. Dora, a former domestic servant at the university has a secret desire--to understand the mystery of her brother''s death, believing that the answer lies within The Museum of Psykical Research, where he worked when Dora was a child. With the city amidst a revolutionary upheaval, where citizens like Robert Barnes, her lover and a student radical, are now in positions of authority, Dora contrives to gain the curatorship of the half-forgotten museum only to find it all but burnt to the ground, with the neighboring museums oddly untouched. Robert offers her one of these, The National Museum of the Worker. However, neither this museum, nor the street it is hidden away on, nor Dora herself, are what they at first appear to be. Set against the backdrop of an oddly familiar and wondrous city on the verge of collapse, Dora''s search for the truth will unravel a monstrous conspiracy and bring her to the edge of worlds.

De la pluma del autor superventas Owen King, llega una nueva novela de fantasía dickensiana en la que los gatos son considerados dioses, los ladrones son nobles, los eruditos son radicales y los conjuradores son los criminales más magníficos que puedas imaginar. ***Uno de los mejores libros de ciencia ficción de 2023 según la cadena de librerías Waterstones*** Para la joven Dora, una asistenta en la universidad, la revolución trae consigo la liberación. Pasa a frecuentar la compañía de uno de los estudiantes más radicales, Robert, y al fin puede investigar lo que le sucedió a Ambrose, su hermano, en el Instituto de Investigación Psíquica justo antes de morir. No obstante, a Dora se le encarga cuidar de otra institución, el Museo de los Trabajadores: un extraño y olvidado edificio ocupado por figuras de cera de mineros, enfermeras, dependientes... Conforme la revolución y su oposición dan rienda suelta a una oscuridad aterradora, la búsqueda de Dora para desentrañar un misterio que lleva mucho tiempo ocultando hará que una conspiración monstruosa salga a la luz... algo que la conducirá a los límites de los mundos. Reseñas: «Escribe con astucia y arrojo». Entertainment Weekly «Mitad cuento de hadas y mitad relato de una revolución, El Museo de Owen King está lleno de humor astuto, sensualidad y extravagancia». Holly Black «Es como si Owen King hubiera insuflado vida a un gabinete de curiosidades. Hay horrores aquí dentro, sí, pero también maravillas y encantos, y uno de los elencos de personajes más interesantes que he conocido en mucho tiempo. Colocad El Museo en la estantería junto a otros clásicos de lo extrañoe inclasificable como Piranesi, de Susanna Clarke, o Gormenghast de Mervyn Peake. Me encantó». Kelly Link « El Museo, de Owen King, es una lectura suntuosa. El lenguaje, los personajes y un mundo fascinante crean una experiencia profundamente satisfactoria». Charlaine Harris

Il museo dei misteri
UNA CITTÀ SENZA NOME. UN MISTERO DA SVELARE. UN RACCONTO AI CONFINI DELL''IMMAGINAZIONE A prima vista, il mondo non è cambiato affatto: i tram sui viali, i grandi alberghi, i caffè pieni di gente. I ragazzi in strada giocano ancora sui due grandi ponti che dividono la città, e i più snob continuano ad avventurarsi sulla Nave Obitorio in cerca di una serata divertente. Eppure, basta una scintilla per innescare una rivolta. Per la giovane Dora, che lavora all''Università Nazionale, è giunta finalmente l''occasione per fare un passo decisivo. Inizia a uscire con Robert, uno studente dalle idee radicali, ed è finalmente libera di indagare su ciò che suo fratello Ambrose potrebbe aver visto alla Società per la Ricerca Psichica prima di morire. Ma è un altro l''edificio di cui Dora è incaricata di occuparsi: il Museo Nazionale del Lavoratore. Questa strana costruzione dimenticata da tutti, che pullula di inquietanti statue in cera di minatori, infermieri, negozianti e altre figure assolutamente realistiche, nasconde un mistero. Mentre fuori la rivoluzione e la controrivoluzione scatenano forze oscure, inaspettate e terrificanti, Dora si avventura fino ai confini del mondo in cerca di una verità taciuta troppo a lungo.

Růženky
V budoucnosti, tak blízké a skutečné, že se může odehrávat v tomto okamžiku, se stane něco podivného. Když ženy usnou, obalí se jemnými sítěmi a znehybní, takže připomínají kokon. Pokud je někdo probudí, nebo se pokusí protrhnout síť zahalující jejich tělo, ženy se rozzuří a reagují nesmírně násilnicky. A když spí, odebírají se kamsi do neznáma... Muži v našem světě zůstali opuštění a musejí si nějak poradit sami. Avšak jedna žena, záhadná Evie, je vůči spavé nemoci imunní. Je ta nemoc požehnání nebo kletba? Je Evie medicínskou anomálií, kterou je třeba studovat, nebo je to démon, kterého je třeba zabít? Děj Růženek je zasazený do malého městečka v zákoutí Apalačských hor, v němž se nachází ženská věznice, a ta v tomto provokativním a strhujícím románu, který napsal Stephen King spolu se svým synem Owenem, sehraje zásadní roli.

He''s trying to protect the woman called Eve Black from the ill-thought-out actions of increasingly desperate men. But Eve, as the only woman capable of waking up, has her own plans: a test with global consequences. A test Clint will have to pass if he ever hopes to see his wife again.

Biomedical Applications of Polarimetry

Biomedical Applications of Polarimetry
Non- or minimally-invasive data collection is highly desirable for gathering the broad base of information that facilitates moving technology to the point of care. Polarimetry has been making this transition for years. Early forms of polarization-sensitive optics involved custom multiplexing a series of images to generate a single image, but today''s snapshot polarimeters are readily commercially available.The research presented in this dissertation advances three areas of polarimetric imaging: First, this research develops a reflectance-based measurement for tracking changes in the alignment of dynamically loaded soft tissue, specifically tendon. This work highlights a range of mounting angles across which signal strength is agnostic to sensor location. Second, it compares a high dynamic range division-of-focal-plane (DoFP) polarimeter with a standard DoFP polarimeter, highlighting both the current limitations of polarimetry and future areas for sensor improvement. The incorporation of a DoFP polarization filter with a high dynamic range sensor represents an important advance in DoFP polarimetry, in that the high-dynamic range pixels can compensate for the reduced photon flux at the photosensor caused by the nano-wire filters. Finally, this research identifies a polarization-based neural signal, with major implications for non-invasively tracking neural activity, including the first tandem recording of optical and electrical activity from a single region. In conclusion, this work makes important advances across a range of polarimetric applications.

Csipkerózsikák
Stephen King és Owen King szuperprodukciójában, apa és fia közösen írt könyvében a fő kérdés: mi történhet, ha a nők eltűnnek a férfiak világából? Valamikor a jövőben (amely olyan valóságos, hogy akár napjainkra is felcserélhető lehetne) a nőket elalvás közben beburkolja egy ismeretlen fehérjéből képződő hártya, olyan, mint a selyemgubó. Ha a Csipkerózsikákként alvó nőket felébresztik, vagy bármi módon megsérül a gubójuk, akkor állatiasan vadak és erőszakosak lesznek. Alvás közben viszont egy másik, a miénknél jobb világba jutnak, ahol harmónia uralkodik, és szinte nincsenek konfliktusok. Egy isten háta mögötti helyen, a nyugat-virginiai Dooling női börtönében azonban van egyvalaki, egy titokzatos idegen, bizonyos Eve Black, aki normális módon elalszik és felébred. De vajon az ő esetében orvosi anomáliáról van szó, amit tanulmányozni kellene, hátha megoldást ad erre az egész alvásproblémára? Vagy talán Eve Black démon, a megmagyarázhatatlan jelenség okozója, és a legjobb lenne megsemmisíteni? A magukra maradt, egyre inkább ősi ösztöneikre hallgató férfiak egymással vetélkedő frakciókra szakadnak: ki megölni, ki megmenteni akarja Eve-t. Mások a zűrzavart kihasználva személyes ellenségeiken állnának bosszút. A csupa férfi világban elszabadul a pokol és tombol az erőszak... Fordította: Dranka Anita

Ruususen uni
Kuvittele maailma ilman naisia. Owen ja Stephen King ovat luoneet kiehtovan provosoivan kauhukertomuksen, jossa naiset vaipuvat uneen ja miesten on pärjättävä omillaan. "Kauhukertomusten kaunotar."– USA TodayMaailmalla leviää Aurora-virus, joka iskee tyttöihin ja naisiin ikään katsomatta. Nukahdettuaan naiset koteloituvat kuin perhoset, eikä heitä missään nimessä kannata herättää. Pandemia iskee myös Doolingin pikkukaupunkiin Appalakeilla, kun aviovaimot, äidit, sisaret ja tyttäret aloittavat kamppailunsa unta vastaan. Pian kaupungin naisvankilaan tuodaan Evie Black, kaunotar, johon virus ei pysty. Onko Evie luonnonoikku vai itse paholainen? Miesten jäädessä yksin alkavat väkivallan voimat repiä yhteisöä ja kiihottaa sen asukkaita toisiaan vastaan. Ruususen uni tuntuu monin tavoin pelottavan ajankohtaiselta."Runsas ja värikylläinen eepos; kuin jättikokoinen Happy Meal -ateria."– Guardian"Kingit kirjoittavat yhdessä saumattoman luontevasti. Kun action alkaa, tarina mennä jyristää kuin juna."– Publishers Weekly Yhdysvaltalainen Stephen King (s. 1947), kauhun kuningas, on yksi maailman tunnetuimmista kirjailijoista ja armoitettu tarinankertoja. King sai vuoden 2018 American Pen -sananvapausjärjestön palkinnon palavasta halustaan puolustaa sananvapautta ja tuotannostaan, joka kannustaa meitä nousemaan pahoja voimia vastaan. Owen King (s. 1977) on Stephen ja Tabitha Kingin nuorempi poika, joka on aiemmin julkaissut kiitellyn romaanin ja novellikokoelman. Myös hänen vaimonsa Kelly Braffet on kirjailija.

Bellas durmientes
No las despiertes. En esta espectacular colaboración entre padre e hijo, Stephen King y Owen King nos ofrecen la historia más arriesgada de cuantas han contado hasta ahora: ¿qué pasaría si las mujeres abandonaran este mundo? En un futuro tan real y cercano que podría ser hoy, cuando las mujeres se duermen, brota de su cuerpo una especie de capullo que las aísla del exterior. Si las despiertan, las molestan o tocan el capullo que las envuelve, reaccionan con una violencia extrema. Y durante el sueño se evaden a otro mundo. Los hombres, por su parte, quedan abandonados a sus instintos primarios. La misteriosa Evie, sin embargo, es inmune a esta bendición o castigo del trastorno del sueño. ¿Se trata de una anomalía médica que hay que estudiar? O ¿es un demonio al que hay que liquidar? Una fábula del siglo XXI sobre la posibilidad de un mundo exclusivamente femenino más pacífico y más justo que resulta especialmente relevante hoy en día. Reseña: «La novela nos aboca a una batalla épica (...) con brillantes incursiones en territorios que el padre de los King puede justamente reclamar como propios: el insomnio, la tensión con que responde a la violencia una sociedad aislada, la propia idea dela propagación de una pandemia... (...): puro King en sus mejores pasajes.» Enrique de Hériz, El Periódico de Cataluña En los blogs... «Lo que destaca en esta versión particular es su brillantez. En un futuro tan real y cercano que podría ser hoy, y con una fantasía espectacular, que en todo momento se apoya en la lógica y en la reflexión, los autores convierten la idea de que las mujeres abandonen el mundo paracrear otro en un cuento conmovedor, en una aventura emocionante a veces violenta y a veces tierna.» Blog Todo literatura «La historia en definitiva es una parábola sobre la posibilidad de un mundo exclusivamente femenino, más pacífico y más justo.» Blog Literatura noticias «Los autores convierten la idea de que las mujeres abandonen el mundo para crear otro en un cuento conmovedor, en una aventura emocionante a veces violenta y a veces tierna.» Blog Las lecturas de Guillermo «Una historia llena de terror que nos hace pensar y plantearnos muchas cosas, sobre todo, si eres mujer, qué habrías hecho tú si estuvieras en el lugar de las protagonistas y, si eres hombre, cuál habría sido tu manera de intentar solucionar la tragedia.» Blog El mundo de Naya «La plumade los autores es exquisita, este par ha sabido mezclar su narrativa de forma magistral.» Blog Atrapada en unas hojas de papel «La novela es una sátira brutal sobre los hombres, pero también sobre los recortes en servicios sociales o sobre el papel de los medios de comunicación.» Zenda libros
