Based on extensive ethnographic research, Andrew Irving brings to life the lived experiences, imaginative lifeworlds, and existential concerns of persons confronting their own mortality and non-being. Encompassing twenty years of working alongside persons living with HIV/AIDS in New York, Irving documents the radical but often unspoken and unvoiced transformations in perception, knowledge, and understanding that people experience in the face of death. By bringing an "experience-near" ethnographic focus to the streams of inner dialogue, imagination, and aesthetic expression that are central to the experience of illness and everyday life, this monograph offers a theoretical, ethnographic, and methodological contribution to the anthropology of time, finitude, and the human condition. With relevance well-beyond the disciplinary boundaries of anthropology, this book ultimately highlights the challenge of capturing the inner experience of human suffering and hope that affect us all of the trauma of the threat of death and the surprise of continued lif. 410 0$aMalinowski monographs series ;$vv. 2. 606 $aDeath 606 $aTerminally ill$xAttitudes 606 $aNear-death experiences 615 0$aDeath. 615 0$aTerminally ill$xAttitudes. 615 0$aNear-death experiences. 676 $a128.5 700 $aIrving$b Andrew$01641148 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bEBLCP 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815377303321 996 $aThe art of life and death$93985067 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03317nam 22005655 450 001 9910741181903321 005 20200703010145.0 010 $a3-319-54316-4 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-54316-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000001124670 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-54316-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4828339 035 $a(PPN)199768072 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001124670 100 $a20170321d2017 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aString Theory Compactifications /$fby Mariana Graņa, Hagen Triendl 205 $a1st ed. 2017. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (VII, 74 p. 6 illus., 3 illus. in color.) 225 1 $aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5423 311 $a3-319-54315-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aChapter 1 Lecture 1: Introduction to String Theory -- Chapter 2 Lecture 2: Compacti?cations on tori -- Chapter 3 Lecture 3: Calabi-Yau Compacti?cations -- Chapter 4 Lecture 4: Fluxes and Generalized Geometry -- Chapter 5 Lecture 5: 4D E?ective actions for compacti?cations on manifolds of reduced structure -- Chapter 6 Lecture 6: Open problems in phenomenology . 330 $aThe lectures in this book provide graduate students and non-specialist researchers with a concise introduction to the concepts and formalism required to reduce the ten-dimensional string theories to the observable four-dimensional space-time - a procedure called string compactification. The text starts with a very brief introduction to string theory, first working out its massless spectrum and showing how the condition on the number of dimensions arises. It then dwells on the different possible internal manifolds, from the simplest to the most relevant phenomenologically, thereby showing that the most elegant description is through an extension of ordinary Riemannian geometry termed generalized geometry, which was first introduced by Hitchin. Last but not least, the authors review open problems in string phenomenology, such as the embedding of the Standard Model and obtaining de Sitter solutions. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5423 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString models 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString models. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences. 676 $a530 700 $aGraņa$b Mariana$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0825028 702 $aTriendl$b Hagen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741181903321 996 $aString Theory Compactifications$93554183 997 $aUNINA
