Patrick Gale, Author.
Patrick Gale was born on the Isle of Wight in 1962, where his father was prison governor at Camp Hill prison. Later the family moved to London. He boarded at The Pilgrim's School, where he was a chorister, then went to Winchester College before reading English at Oxford University. He did a series of odd jobs to support his writing before becoming a full-time novelist, moving to Cornwall in 1987. He is the author of several novels, and also writes short stories and novellas. He has written one book of non-fiction, on the American novelist Armistead Maupin, and also writes book reviews for The Daily Telegraph.
His first two novels, Ease and The Aerodynamics of Pork, were published on the same day in 1986. The Facts of Life (1995) tells the story of Edward Pepper, an exile saved from Nazi Germany in the Kindertransport, and Tree Surgery for Beginners (1998) is about Laurence Frost, an inarticulate tree surgeon. A Sweet Obscurity (2003) is told from the alternating viewpoints of four separate characters. Friendly Fire (2003) draws on the author's own experience of a late 1970s adolescence, and Notes from an Exhibition (2007) is set in Cornwall, exploring the effects of mental illness on artist Rachel Kelly and her family.

Community Sport Coaching and Impression Management
Get PDFThis chapter positions community sport coaching work as a social, interactive performance. It begins by introducing the concept of dramaturgy and Erving Goffman’s ground-breaking work addressing ‘the presentation of the self in everyday life. This background information is then followed by an exposition of some of Goffman’s central dramaturgical concepts and the ways in which they connect with, and could be used to inform, everyday community sport coaching practice. Here, Callum, the last author, provides detailed examples of how he has utilised these dramaturgical concepts to inform the ways in which he performs his community sport coaching role. Finally, the conclusion summarises the central arguments and issues raised in this chapter and provides some critical questions to stimulate your reflection on the dramaturgical dimensions of everyday practice
Gale, Publishing in Open Access
No full textJennifer Albers-Smith is the Director of Marketing, Academic and Special Libraries at Gale, part of Cengage Learning. She has worked at Gale for eight years in both sales and marketing capacities and has launched several very successful products to the market including Nineteenth Century Collections Online and Gale NewsVault. Gale’s OA philosophy, although yet to be defined, includes actively exploring ways to best surface OA content in a way that is beneficial to the researcher and the author. As both a publisher and aggregator of a wide range of resources – digitized primary source collections, eBooks, periodical databases, microform, and print – Gale does not publish any open access content, but works with many publishers who do; and includes an extensive amount of public domain materials in their various product offerings. Gale is looking forward to hearing from our academic researchers what their thoughts are around the future of open access and how it will affect their expectations and use of digital collections, ebook collections and aggregated databases.

Gale duality and Koszul duality
Get PDFGiven an affine hyperplane arrangement with some additional structure, we
define two finite-dimensional, noncommutative algebras, both of which are
motivated by the geometry of hypertoric varieties. We show that these algebras
are Koszul dual to each other, and that the roles of the two algebras are
reversed by Gale duality. We also study the centers and representation
categories of our algebras, which are in many ways analogous to integral blocks
of category O.Comment: 55 pages; v2 contains significant revisions to proofs and to some of
the results. Section 7 has been deleted; that material will be incorporated

A forgotten female : Zona Gale and American literary history
Get PDFZona Gale won a Pulitzer Prize in 1921 for the dramatization of her novel Miss Lulu Bett. Today, however, when her name is mentioned, the reply most often heard is, Who? How can authors who are well-known and well-reputed in their day lose relatively all public recognition? What or who determines whether an author is to be a major critical figure (i.e. included in the literary canon ), is to be a minor one, or, even worse, is to be forgotten? Understandably, the case cannot be made that every author should be included in the canon. But what about an author who was so very popular in her day that she won a Pulitzer Prize and commanded a wide readership? What can happen to exclude so completely from recognition someone once so popular? Gale not only had a wide readership, but she was also considered by the major critics of her day to be one of the important realist writers comparable to Sherwood Anderson and Sinclair Lewis. The questions posed here take on more weight when the writer about which they are asked seemed to be entrenched in the literary canon at one time in her career. Many factors, significant and insignificant, seem to determine the rise or fall of an author\u27s reputation in the scholarly community. Paul Lauter in his article entitled Race and Gender in the Shaping of the American Literary Canon: A Case Study from the Twenties discusses those factors that have had influence in the establishment of the literary canon. Lauter\u27s proposed reasons for the exclusion of many valuable authors from the canon easily apply to Zona Gale. He states that three important factors (23) have determined who and what are to be included in and excluded from the literary canon. These factors are the professionalization of the teaching of literature, the development of an aesthetic theory that privileged certain texts and the historiographic organization of the body of literature into conventional \u27periods\u27 and \u27themes\u27 (23). Gale seems to have been affected by all of these factors. By tracing her reception from her own day to the present using The MLA International Bibliography, The Reader\u27s Guide to Periodical Literature, The Humanities Index, history books, printing histories, and other such reference materials, one can determine the reasons for Gale\u27s widespread popularity at one time and the reasons that she is now virtually unknown. Developing a new perspective on how the literary canon should be determined makes it possible to reassess Gale\u27s value and her contributions then finally to recognize the value of her work to scholars and general readers today. Three of Gale\u27s most sophisticated novels will be used as the criteria for determining her value as a writer: Birth (1918), Miss Lulu Bett (1920), and Faint Perfume (1923)
