Chandrasekhar, popularly known as Chandra, was one of the foremost scientists of the 20th century. The year 2010 marks the birth centenary of Chandra. His unique style of research, inward bound, seeking a personal perspective to master a particular field, and then pass on to another was so unique that it will draw considerable interest and attention among scholars. As Chandra elucidates in the preface, the various installments describe in detail the evolution of my scientific work during the past forty years and records each investigation, describing the doubts and the successes, the trials 606 $aAstrophysicists -- United States -- Biography 606 $aAstrophysicists -- United States -- Correspondence 606 $aChandrasekhar, S.

But if you assert that male homosexuality is a cultural practice, expressive of a unique subjectivity and a distinctive relation to mainstream society, people will immediately protest. Such an idea, they will say, is just a stereotype-ridiculously simplistic, politically irresponsible, and morally suspect. The world acknowledges gay male culture as a fact but denies it as a truth. David Halperin, a pioneer of LGBTQ studies, dares to suggest that gayness is a specific way of being that gay men must learn from one another in order to become who they are. Inspired by the notorious undergraduate course of the same title that Halperin taught at the University of Michigan, provoking cries of outrage from both the right-wing media and the gay press, How To Be Gay traces gay men's cultural difference to the social meaning of style. Far from being deterred by stereotypes, Halperin concludes that the genius of gay culture resides in some of its most despised features: its aestheticism, snobbery, melodrama, adoration of glamour, caricatures of women, and obsession with mothers. The insights, impertinence, and unfazed critical intelligence displayed by gay culture, Halperin argues, have much to offer the heterosexual mainstream. 606 $aGay men 606 $aGay people 615 0$aGay men. 615 0$aGay people. 676 $a306.76/62 700 $aHalperin$b David M.$f1952-$0174544 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785763703321 996 $aHow to be gay$93726281 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04408nam 2200685Ia 450 001 9911019410903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786611069568 010 $a9781281069566 010 $a1281069566 010 $a9780470692448 010 $a0470692448 010 $a9780470766309 010 $a0470766301 035 $a(CKB)1000000000404548 035 $a(EBL)320093 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000207510 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11206866 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000207510 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10236958 035 $a(PQKB)10658691 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC320093 035 $a(OCoLC)232611657 035 $a(Perlego)2764855 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000404548 100 $a20070529d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aMyocardial imaging $etissue doppler and speckle tracking /$fedited by Thomas H.
