Two great books from the Everyman Chess Library, play 1...b6! a dynamic and hypermodern opening system for Black by Christian Bauer and Nimzo Larsen Attack by Byron Jacobs and Jonathan Tait, brought together in one volume.
The Philidor is a dynamic and underrated answer to White's most popular opening move, 1 e4. This work uncovers the secrets behind this opening. It also examines the key tactical and strategic ideas for both White and Black, while highlighting crucial issues such as move-order options - a major weapon for the modern Grandmaster.
Niederösterreich stellte für Egon Schiele Lebenswelt und Sehnsuchtsraum zugleich dar. Fast sein gesamtes Leben verbrachte er hier zwischen Tulln, Krems, Klosterneuburg, Neulengbach, Mühling und Wien. Und so sind diese Landschaften und Städte wichtige Stationen für die Entwicklung des Künstlers. Neben den einzelnen Schaffensphasen und -orten widmet sich der Band den bisher wenig beachteten Einflüssen, wie die Beschäf tigung mit Röntgenbildern und der Kunst Franz von Stucks. Deutlich wird, wie Schiele seine Ausdruckskunst aus den wissenschaftlichen und kulturellen Strömungen seiner Zeit ent wickelte und wie stark sein niederösterreichisches Schaffen bis heute internationale Maßstäbe setzt.
In this revolutionary book, Christian Bauer reveals for the first time the secrets of how to play 1...b6 with success, creating a comprehensive repertoire for the Black player.
Persistence-the ability of data to outlive an instance of a program-is central to modern applications. Hibernate, the most popular Java persistence tool, provides automatic and transparent object/relational mapping making it a snap to work with SQL databases in Java applications. Hibernate applications are cheaper, more portable, and more resilient to change. Because it conforms to the new EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence 1.0 standard, Hibernate allows the developer to seamlessly create efficient, scalable Java EE applications. Java Persistence with Hibernate explores Hibernate by developing an application that ties together hundreds of individual examples. You'll immediately dig into the rich programming model of Hibernate 3.2 and Java Persistence, working through queries, fetching strategies, caching, transactions, conversations, and more. You'll also appreciate the well-illustrated discussion of best practices in database design, object/relational mapping, and optimization techniques. In this revised edition of the bestselling Hibernate in Action , authors Christian Bauer and Gavin King-the founder of the Hibernate project-cover Hibernate 3.2 in detail along with the EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence standard.
In the classic style of Manning's "In Action" series, NHibernate in Action shows.NET developers how to use the NHibernate Object/Relational Mapping tool.This book is a translation from Java to .NET, as well as an expansion, ofManning's bestselling Hibernate in Action . All traces of Java have been carefullyreplaced by their .NET equivalents. The book shows how to implementcomplex business objects, and later teaches advanced techniques like cachingand session management. Readers will discover how to implement persistence ina .NET application, and how to configure NHibernate to specify the mappinginformation between business objects and database tables. Readers will also beintroduced to the internal architecture of NHibernate by progressively buildinga complete sample application using Agile methodologies. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.
The study focuses on the interaction between turbulent superstructures, known as very-large-scale motions (VLSMs), and small-scale wall turbulence, utilizing direct numerical simulation. It examines shear stress Reynolds numbers up to Re = 2880 and pipe lengths up to L = 42R. The research analyzes the convergence and scaling behavior of various statistical moments of the velocity distribution and discusses energy transfer mechanisms between VLSMs and the mean flow, enhancing understanding of turbulent pipe flow dynamics and the inverse turbulent energy cascade phenomenon.
The collection features a diverse array of short stories that blend humor and adventure, showcasing everything from mischievous machines to unexpected twists of fate. Readers will encounter chaotic Thanksgiving dinners, thrilling flights, and imaginative backyard inventions. Each tale highlights the unpredictability of life, emphasizing how serendipity can lead to surprising solutions.
This book explores the connection between landscape and portraiture in Egon Schiele's art, emphasizing how plants and environments symbolize the human condition. It accompanies an exhibition at the Neue Galerie New York and features insights from experts on Schiele's landscapes, revealing their deeper meanings beyond mere subjects.
