Index Contour Line The Columbia Granger's Index to Poetry in Anthologies by Tessa Kale, Each edition of "Grangers" includes title, first line, last line, author, and subject indexes for approximately 400 poetry anthologies on library shelves. "Grangers" performs a valuable service for librarians by helping people locate poems when they have limited information about them, and by helping them locate poems by authors or on subjects they are interested in. Each edition indexes about 150 anthologies that have been published since the last edition, substituting them for 150 anthologies that have since fallen out of use. The anthologies included in the 12th edition consist of all of the significant titles that have appeared since the completion of the 11th edition in 1997, such as the comprehensive Norton anthologies of English literature, American literature, and world masterpieces; the new Oxford, Penguin, and Faber anthologies; and the new Columbia anthologies of Chinese literature, gay literature, and contemporary American womens poetry. Also included are important new collections of Russian, Japanese, Italian, Latin American, and African poetry; of poetry from minority cultures, particularly women minorities, throughout the world; and of Native American, African American, and Asian American poetry. "Grangers" continues to index anthologies of religious poetry and childrens verse, as well as topical collections on such subjects as popular culture and sports.

Contour line - A contour line (also level set, isopleth, isogram or isarithm) for a function of two variables is a curve connecting points where the function has a same particular value. A contour map is a map showing contour lines. Contour canal - The phrase 'contour canal' generally refers to an artificially-dug navigable canal which closesly follows the contour line of the land it traverses in order to avoid costly engineering works such as cutting a tunnel through higher ground, an embankment over lower ground, or a canal lock (or series of locks) to change the level of the canal. Methods of contour integration - In complex analysis, the evaluation of integrals of real-valued functions along intervals on the real line, is not readily found with certain integrands and methods involving only real variables. Complex analysis methods described below give means of calculating these real-valued integrals by means of contour integrals in the complex plane. Isogon - An isogon is a line along which an angle is held constant; it is a type of isopleth, or contour line. The term is commonly used in two different contexts. indexcontourline |
