Introduction: Shooting Eastwood. Writing the showdown: what's left behind when the sun goes down -- Dancing with the double: reaching out from the darkness within -- Ties that bind: the legacy of a mother's love -- Psychic scars: transformative relationships and moral repair -- Parables of revenge and masculinity in Mystic river / Roger Berkowitz and Drucilla Cornell -- Militarized manhood: shattered images and the trauma of war -- Shades of recognition: privilege, dignity, and the hubris of white masculinity -- Conclusion: the last take.

Sommario/riassunto

"In her fresh and revealing readings of the films, Cornell takes up pressing issues of masculinity as it is caught up in the very definition of ideas of revenge, violence, moral repair, and justice. Eastwood grapples with this involvement of masculinity in and through many of the great symbols of American life, including cowboys, boxing, police dramas, and ultimately war ... Cornell's book is not a traditional book of film criticism or a cinematographic biography. Rather, it is a work of social commentary and ethical philosophy. In a world in which we seem to be losing our grip on shared symbols, along with community itself, Eastwood's films work with the fragmented symbols that remain to us in order to engage masculinity with the most profound moral and



ethical issues facing us today."--Publisher's description.

Sommario/riassunto

Providing much-needed information on fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy, this ready reference covers detection techniques, data registration, and the use of spectroscopic tools, as well as new techniques for improving the resolution of optical microscopy below the resolution gap. Starting with the basic principles, the book goes on to treat fluorophores and labeling, single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and enzymatics, as well as excited state energy transfer, and super-resolution fluorescence imaging.Examples show how each technique can help in obtaining detailed and refine

Sommario/riassunto

This volume takes a multidisciplinary approach to study and evaluate



the global human vulnerability to the exposure of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in the natural environment. It provides a comprehensive resource on structurally diverse groups of chemical compounds that have adverse effects on the aquatic environment. It explores the global strength, environmental status, chemical risk assessment and management strategies of CECs with relevant modern techniques. The principle focus is on concurrent emerging water quality issues. It defines the impacts of the environmental exposure of trace concentrations of CECs and/or their metabolites and discusses possible technological advances to combat the emerging pollutants. It will be useful to researchers, multi-stakeholder expert groups, policymakers, and graduate students.
