Subatomic Writing by Jamie Zvirzdin Pdf

"A one-stop shop for students who need to learn how to write clearly and cohesively about science, and for scientists looking to improve their writing skills to support their public outreach efforts, create more effective course material, and even improve grant applications. It teaches readers that particles of language are like particles of physics-, quarks, leptons, and bosons. These subatomic particles, combined and arranged, form something greater than their parts: all matter, including us; movement; light; energy. Similarly, this book's six areas of language, when combined and arranged, create writing that matters, that moves, that illuminates, that energizes the reader to feel, learn, change, and act. This interdisciplinary approach helps scientists, science writers, writers, and editors improve in six fundamental areas, building from the sounds in a word to the pacing of a paragraph (and learn basic particle physics in the process)"--

The Writing of Orpheus by Marcel Detienne Pdf

Winner of the Translation Prize for non-fiction from the French-American Foundation. Son of a mortal king and an immortal Muse, Orpheus possessed a gift for music unmatched among humans; with his lyre he could turn the course of rivers, drown the fatal song of the Sirens, and charm the denizens of the underworld. The allure of his music speaks through the myths and stories of the Greeks and Romans, who tell of his mysterious compositions, with lyrics that only the initiated could understand after undergoing secret rites. Where readers of subsequent centuries have been content to understand these mysteries as the stuff of obfuscation or mere folderol, Marcel Detienne finds in the writing of Orpheus a key to the thinking of the ancient Greeks. A profound understanding of ancient Greek myth in its cultural contexts allows Detienne to recover a cultural system from fragments and ephemera—to reproduce, with sensitivity to variation and nuance, the full richness of the mythological repertoire flowing from the writing of Orpheus. His investigation moves from the Orphic writings to broader mysteries: how Greek gods became myths, how myths informed later religious thinking, and how myths have come into play in polemics between competing religions. An eloquent answer to some of the most vexing questions about the myth of Orpheus and its far-reaching ramifications through time and culture, Detienne's work ultimately offers a major rethinking of Greek mythology.
