Se siete fra quanti ritengono che la partenza di zia Mame per l''India abbia ingiustamente sottratto alla vostra vita l''indispensabile correttivo di gag, frasi celebri e alzate d''ingegno, allora siete pronti per incontrare una sua sorella immaginaria, una ragazza di cui persino Mame – accusabile di tutto, ma non di ossequio al comune senso del pudore – avrebbe parlato con imbarazzo: Belle Schlumpfert. Belle nasce a Venezuela, nell''Illinois, da una madre troppo impegnata a far carriera presso la casa di Madam Louise per mettere su una famiglia come si deve. Che cosa veramente sia quella «casa», il lettore è libero di immaginarlo, ma nell''inattendibile, incontenibile, travolgente racconto di Belle è solo una dimora di artiste dove la piccina scoprirà una precoce, ma non per questo meno temibile, vocazione per lo spettacolo in ogni sua forma conosciuta. Una vocazione che Belle porterà alle sue estreme conseguenze, demolendo con la coerenza stilistica del suo coetaneo Ed Wood, e la grazia imperdonabile di Hrundi V. Bakshi in Hollywood Party, ogni commedia, film o varietà televisivo in cui le capiterà di comparire. Pensato inizialmente come la parodia definitiva di un genere – la biografia autorizzata, e per ciò stesso apocrifa, della grande star – e assemblato in mesi di lavoro, insieme al fotografo Cris Alexander, su un vero e proprio set, «Povera piccina» è una meravigliosa macchina comica a cielo aperto, che suscita anche solo in chi lo sfoglia le reazioni migliori, cioè le più sgangherate, mentre a chi lo legge istilla una strana tentazione, cui lo stesso Dennis finì per cedere: quella di passare al di là dello specchio e intrufolarsi, pazienza se in un ruolo di contorno, in una pagina qualsiasi del racconto.

[From the back cover] To take a journey is to travel from one place to another. But what does a spiritual journey look like? How does a person move from one place to another when it comes to belief in God? In our modern world, is a journey toward faith in God even defensible? Are there reasons for faith when most of us observe that the world seems to be terribly broken? Are there reasons for optimism when it seems clear that so many people are broken? And are there reasons for hope when--in our most perceptive moments--we recognize ways that we too are broken? Is there evidence that suggests it is rational to believe that some kind of God exists? Or that the central claims of Christianity are true? Regardless of what you''ve believed about God in the past, what if such evidence does exist? This is the story of one person''s journey. It is a story of discovery. I wrote it with the hope that it might be thought-provoking for you, wherever you are in your spiritual journey.

Follow along with Henry Claiborne McGuire from the Civil War to his grandsons. From his dealings with the noblest Native Americans, the Mountain Utes, to herd cutters, rustlers and renegades. His contribution to the American West and the generations that followed make for a great history lesson for all Americans. Were his kind still available to us today.

Ionic polymers have capabilities to shape the pathway to new membranes and polymer systems that did not exist before. The imidazolium moiety has shown substantial abilities to integrate into a platform for ionic polymers allowing their growth and formation through imidazolium use as a building block. Addition of this component, both ionic and non-ionic, into a polymer matrix has been developed, but the creation of highly tunable, modular polymer structure that contains imidazolium has the potential to surpass previous iterations of ionic compounds and materials in gas separation. After developing a tailorable approach to high performance ionic polymers, we have formed ionic polyimides and polyamides that have been used for various applications such as gas separation, coatings, and films. The ionic polyimides and polyamides which were formed have the potential to be used as CO2/light gas membranes.The hardest factor to overcome within membrane separation is the flux-selectivity tradeoff which describes the upper limits of permeability, gases ability to flow through a membrane, and selectivity, one gas''s ability over another to permeate. With the addition of these ionic units into the backbone and as "free"-ILs within the polymer matrix, the permeabilities of these materials can be greatly increased. Through systematic design and study of materials, the structure-property relationship of these newly developed ionic polymers can be determined and applied to further the understanding of these unique polymer systems.
