"From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending, a rich, witty, revelatory tour of Belle Epoque Paris, vian the remarkable life story of the pioneering surgeon Samuel Pozzi. In the summer of 1885, three Frenchment arrived in London for a few days' intellectual shopping: a prince, a count, and a commoner with an Italian name. In time, each of these men would achieve a certain level of renown, but who weree they then and what was the significance of their sojourn in England? Answering these questions, Julian Barnes unfurls the stories of their lives, which play out against the backdrop of the Belle Epoque in Paris. Our guide through this world is Samuel Pozzi, society doctor, freethinker, and man of science with a famously complicated private life who was the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. In this vivid tapestry of people (Henry James, Sarah Bernhardt, Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust, and James Whistler, among many others), place, and time, we see not merely an epoch of glamour and pleasure but, surprisingly, one of violence, prejudice, and nativism - with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine. The Man in the Red Coat is, at once, a fresh portrait of the Belle Epoque, an illuminating look at the log-standing exchange of ideas between Britain and France, and a life of a man who lived passionately in the moment but whose ideas and achievements were far ahead of his time." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a novel, accessible model that simulates sunspot cycles at remarkable computer speeds. The author uses a simple square root of a narrowband Gaussian process to demonstrate its effectiveness. Traditionally, the study of sunspot cycles has been complex and time-consuming, but this book presents an efficient and easy-to-understand approach. The book also delves into the physical basis of the model, emphasizing the resonance involved. By examining the secular cycles and extensive minima characteristic of narrowband Gaussian processes, the author explores the stochastic nature of sunspot cycles. Furthermore, the book discusses the implications of the model's findings on solar activity, highlighting the potential for limited sunspot cycle predictionâ"insights that could prove invaluable in fields heavily influenced by solar activity.

The creation of ceramic ware holds a special and very important place among the many arts and inventions that characterize Chinese culture, society, and civilization.The product of a ten-year collaboration among eminent American, Chinese, and Japanese scholars, Chinese Ceramics offers a new perspective in interpreting the oldest and one of the most admired Chinese art forms, from its technological aspects to its aesthetic value. The volume includes a chapter on Chinese export ceramics that delves into Chinese trade activities and ceramic wares made for export as well as a chapter about the authenticity of Chinese ceramics, discussing issues related to connoisseurship of this Chinese art.As author He Li writes, âDespite the rich variety of Chinese ceramics around the world, no fully illustrated, photographed survey of a complete history has been attempted in English.
