Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Book excerpt: ▶ 영어고전1,267 잭 런던의 문페이스 1906(English Classics1,267 Moon-Face And Other Stories by Jack London)은 19세기 미국작가 잭 런던(Jack London, 1876~1916)의 단편 소설 컬렉션(Collection of Short Stories)으로 표제작 문페이스(Moon-Face)부터 플랑셰트(Planchette)까지 총 8편의 작품으로 구성되어 있습니다. 모험 소설가(Adventure Novelist)이자 동물소설가(Animal Novelist)로 명성을 날린 잭 런던이 30세의 청년 시절 발표한 컬렉션으로, 잭 런던표 단편 소설(Short Stories by Jack London)에 관심이 있는 독자들에게 추천 드립니다. 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 1,999선과 함께 어제도, 오늘도, 내일도 멋진 문학여행을! ▶ 목차(Index) I. 문페이스(Moon-Face) II. 레오파드맨의 이야기(The Leopard Man’s Story) III. 로컬 컬러(Local Color) IV. 아마츄어의 밤(Amateur Night) V. 마이다스의 하수인들(The Minions Of Midas) VI. 그림자와 섬광(The Shadow And The Flash) VII. 모든 골드 캐니언(All Gold Canyon) VIII. 플랑셰트(Planchette) ▶ 문페이스 1902(Moon-Face) : 문페이스(Moon-Face)란 단편소설은 모종의 음모에 의해 살해되는 존 클라버하우스(John Claverhouse)에 관한 이야기입니다. 이름조차 설정되어 있지 않은 화자는 ‘문페이스를 가진 남자’ 존 클라버하우스를 극도로 증오하지만, 작품에는 증오의 이유조차 명확하게 밝히고 있지 않습니다. 흥미롭게도 잭 런던의 문페이스 1902(Moon-Face)와 프랭크 노리스(Frank Norris, 1870~1902)의 닭-눈 블랙록의 통과(The Passing of Cock-eye Blacklock)는 같은 사건에 대한 신문기사에서 영감을 받아 각각 아르고(The Argonaut)와 센추리 매거진(Century Magazine)을 통해 1901년 7월, 같은 시기에 발표된 작품입니다. ▶ Be that as it may, I hated John Claverhouse. Not that he had done me what society would consider a wrong or an ill turn. Far from it. The evil was of a deeper, subtler sort; so elusive, so intangible, as to defy clear, definite analysis in words. We all experience such things at some period in our lives. For the first time we see a certain individual, one who the very instant before we did not dream existed; and yet, at the first moment of meeting, we say: “I do not like that man.” Why do we not like him? Ah, we do not know why; we know only that we do not. We have taken a dislike, that is all. And so I with John Claverhouse. ▷ 어쨌든 나는 존 클레버하우스(John Claverhouse)를 싫어했습니다. 그가 나에게 사회가 잘못하거나 나쁜 방향으로 간주하는 일을 했다는 뜻은 아닙니다. 그것과는 거리가 멀죠. 악은 더 깊고 교묘한 종류였습니다. 너무 파악하기 어렵고 무형이어서 말로 명확하고 확실한 분석을 거부합니다. 우리 모두는 삶의 어느 시점에서 그러한 일을 경험합니다. 우리는 처음으로 어떤 개인, 즉 우리가 꿈에도 생각지 못했던 바로 그 순간에 존재했던 개인을 봅니다. 그러나 우리는 처음 만나는 순간 “나는 그 사람을 좋아하지 않습니다.”라고 말합니다. 우리는 왜 그를 좋아하지 않습니까? 아, 왜인지는 모르겠습니다. 우리는 그렇지 않다는 것만 알고 있습니다. 우리는 싫어하는 것을 받아들였습니다. 그게 전부입니다. 그래서 저는 존 클레버하우스(John Claverhouse)와 함께합니다. ▶ 화자는 존을 살해하기 위해 그가 다이너마이트를 활용해 불법 조업(illegal fishing)을 하는 것을 이용합니다. 클레버하우스의 개 벨로나(Bellona)에게 막대기(?!)를 회수하는 법을 훈련시킨 주인공은 송어 낚시에 나선 존이 다이너마이트를 던지는 것을 멀리서 지켜봅니다. 충실하게 회수 훈련을 배운 벨로나는 폭발 직전의 다이너마이트를 존에게 가져갔고, 그들의 죽음은 불법조업 중의 사고로 기록됩니다. ▶ 아마츄어의 밤 1903(Amateur Night). The elevator boy smiled knowingly to himself. When he took her up, he had noted the sparkle in her eyes, the color in her cheeks. His little cage had quite warmed with the glow of her repressed eagerness. And now, on the down trip, it was glacier-like. The sparkle and the color were gone. She was frowning, and what little he could see of her eyes was cold and steel-gray. Oh, he knew the symptoms, he did. He was an observer, and he knew it, too, and some day, when he was big enough, he was going to be a reporter, sure. And in the meantime he studied the procession of life as it streamed up and down eighteen sky-scraper floors in his elevator car. He slid the door open for her sympathetically and watched her trip determinedly out into the street. ▷ 아마추어의 밤. 엘리베이터 소년은 나도 모르게 미소를 지었습니다. 그가 그녀를 안았을 때 그는 그녀의 눈의 반짝임과 그녀의 뺨의 색깔을 주목했습니다. 그의 작은 우리는 그녀의 억압된 열망의 빛으로 꽤 따뜻해졌습니다. 그리고 지금, 내려가는 여행에서는 마치 빙하 같았습니다. 반짝임과 색상이 사라졌습니다. 그녀는 눈살을 찌푸리고 있었고, 그가 그녀의 눈에서 볼 수 있는 것은 차갑고 강철 같은 회색뿐이었습니다. 아, 그 사람은 그 증상을 알고 있었어요. 그는 관찰자였고 그 역시 그것을 알고 있었습니다. 언젠가 그가 충분히 성장하면 그는 기자가 될 것입니다. 그리고 그 동안 그는 엘리베이터 카를 타고 18층의 고층빌딩을 오르내리는 삶의 흐름을 연구했습니다. 그는 동정적인 표정으로 그녀를 위해 문을 열어주고 그녀가 거리로 나가는 모습을 단호하게 지켜보았습니다. ▶ 마이다스의 하수인들 1901(The Minions Of Midas). Wade Atsheler is dead—dead by his own hand. To say that this was entirely unexpected by the small coterie which knew him, would be to say an untruth; and yet never once had we, his intimates, ever canvassed the idea. Rather had we been prepared for it in some incomprehensible subconscious way. Before the perpetration of the deed, its possibility is remotest from our thoughts; but when we did know that he was dead, it seemed, somehow, that we had understood and looked forward to it all the time. This, by retrospective analysis, we could easily explain by the fact of his great trouble. I use “great trouble” advisedly. ▷ 마이다스의 미니언즈. 웨이드 애셀러(Wade Atsheler)는 자신의 손에 의해 죽었습니다. 그를 아는 소규모 집단이 이것을 전혀 예상하지 못했다고 말하는 것은 거짓이라고 말하는 것입니다. 그러나 그의 측근인 우리는 그 아이디어를 조사한 적이 단 한 번도 없었습니다. 오히려 우리는 이해할 수 없는 무의식적인 방식으로 그것에 대비했을 것입니다. 행위가 저질러지기 전에는 그 가능성이 우리의 생각에서 가장 멀리 떨어져 있습니다. 그러나 그가 죽었다는 사실을 알았을 때 우리는 항상 그것을 이해하고 고대하고 있었던 것 같았습니다. 이것은 회고적인 분석을 통해 그의 큰 고난의 사실로 쉽게 설명될 수 있다. 나는 "큰 문제"를 현명하게 사용합니다. ▶ 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 1,999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 ▶ 15가지 키워드로 읽는 잭 런던(Jack London, 1876~1916) 01. 미국 종군기자(War Correspondent) 출신 소설가 02. 미다스의 노예들(The Minions of Midas, 1901) 03. 야생의 부름(The Call of the Wild, 1903) 04. 바다 늑대(The Sea-Wolf, 1904) 05. 흰 송곳니, 화이트 팽(White Fang, 1906) 06. 스테이크 한 장(A Piece of Steak, 1909) 07. 존 발리콘(John Barleycorn, 1913) : 분홍 코끼리를 보다(Seeing Pink Elephants) 08. 섬의 제리(Jerry of the Islands: A True Dog Story, 1917) 09. 공상과학소설(Science Fiction) 10. 잭 런던 르뽀 - 조선사람 엿보기(La Corée en feu - Jack London reports, 1982) 11. 美 우정국 위대한 미국인 기념 우표 시리즈(Great Americans Series Postage Stamp, 1986) 12. 잭 런던을 만나다 TOP10(TOP10 Places of Jack London) 13. 잭 런던 원작의 영화·드라마(Movie and Drama of Jack London in IMDb and Wikipedia) 14. 오디오북으로 듣는 잭 런던(Audio Books of Jack London) 15. 잭 런던의 어록 309선(309 Quotes of Jack London) ▶ 영어고전1,267 잭 런던의 문페이스 1906(English Classics1,267 Moon-Face And Other Stories by Jack London) I.

Download or read book The Ten Types of Human written by Dexter Dias and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 789 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiration behind the hit podcast THE 100 TYPES OF HUMAN with DEXTER DIAS and BBC 5 Live host NIHAL ARTHANAYAKE 'This book is the one. Think Sapiens and triple it.' - Julia Hobsbawm, author of Fully Connected _______________________________ We all have ten types of human in our head. They're the people we become when we face life's most difficult decisions. We want to believe there are things we would always do - or things we never would. But how can we be sure? What are our limits? Do we have limits? The Ten Types of Human is a pioneering examination of human nature. It looks at the best and worst that human beings are capable of, and asks why. It explores the frontiers of the human experience, uncovering the forces that shape our thoughts and actions in extreme situations. From courtrooms to civil wars, from Columbus to child soldiers, Dexter Dias takes us on a globe-spanning journey in search of answers, touching on the lives of some truly exceptional people. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience, social psychology and human rights research, The Ten Types of Human is a provocative map to our hidden selves. It provides a new understanding of who we are - and who we can be. _______________________________ 'The Ten Types of Human is a fantastic piece of non-fiction, mixing astonishing real-life cases with the latest scientific research to provide a guide to who we really are. It's inspiring and essential.' - Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit 'I emerged from this book feeling better about almost everything... a mosaic of faces building into this extraordinary portrait of our species.' - Guardian 'Uplifting and indispensable.' - Howard Cunnell _______________________________ What readers are saying about 'the most important book in years': 'utterly compelling...this one comes with a warning - only pick it up if you can risk not putting it down' - Wendy Heydorn on Amazon, 5 stars 'one of the most remarkable books I've read...

Download or read book Black Elk Speaks written by John G. Neihardt and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Elk Speaks, the story of the Oglala Lakota visionary and healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863–1950) and his people during momentous twilight years of the nineteenth century, offers readers much more than a precious glimpse of a vanished time. Black Elk’s searing visions of the unity of humanity and Earth, conveyed by John G. Neihardt, have made this book a classic that crosses multiple genres. Whether appreciated as the poignant tale of a Lakota life, as a history of a Native nation, or as an enduring spiritual testament, Black Elk Speaks is unforgettable. Black Elk met the distinguished poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt in 1930 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and asked Neihardt to share his story with the world. Neihardt understood and conveyed Black Elk’s experiences in this powerful and inspirational message for all humankind. This complete edition features a new introduction by historian Philip J. Deloria and annotations of Black Elk’s story by renowned Lakota scholar Raymond J. DeMallie. Three essays by John G. Neihardt provide background on this landmark work along with pieces by Vine Deloria Jr., Raymond J. DeMallie, Alexis Petri, and Lori Utecht. Maps, original illustrations by Standing Bear, and a set of appendixes rounds out the edition.

Book excerpt: A haunting tribute to the heroic pioneers who shaped the American Midwest This powerful novel by Willa Cather is considered to be one of her finest works and placed Cather in the forefront of women novelists.

Download or read book Against Method written by Paul Feyerabend and published by Verso. This book was released on 1993 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern philosophy of science has paid great attention to the understanding of scientific 'practice', in contrast to concentration on scientific 'method'. Paul Feyerabend's acclaimed work, which has contributed greatly to this new emphasis, shows the deficiencies of some widespread ideas about the nature of knowledge. He argues that the only feasible explanations of scientific successes are historical explanations, and that anarchism must now replace rationalism in the theory of knowledge. The third edition of this classic text contains a new preface and additional reflections at various points in which the author takes account both of recent debates on science and on the impact of scientific products and practices on the human community. While disavowing populism or relativism, Feyerabend continues to insist that the voice of the inexpert must be heard. Thus many environmental perils were first identified by non-experts against prevailing assumptions in the scientific community. Feyerabend's challenging reassessment of scientific claims and understandings are as pungent and timely as ever.

Download or read book Consilience written by E. O. Wilson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-11-26 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "A dazzling journey across the sciences and humanities in search of deep laws to unite them." —The Wall Street Journal One of our greatest scientists—and the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for On Human Nature and The Ants—gives us a work of visionary importance that may be the crowning achievement of his career. In Consilience (a word that originally meant "jumping together"), Edward O. Wilson renews the Enlightenment's search for a unified theory of knowledge in disciplines that range from physics to biology, the social sciences and the humanities. Using the natural sciences as his model, Wilson forges dramatic links between fields. He explores the chemistry of the mind and the genetic bases of culture. He postulates the biological principles underlying works of art from cave-drawings to Lolita. Presenting the latest findings in prose of wonderful clarity and oratorical eloquence, and synthesizing it into a dazzling whole, Consilience is science in the path-clearing traditions of Newton, Einstein, and Richard Feynman.

Download or read book Good Strategy Bad Strategy written by Richard Rumelt and published by Currency. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Strategy/Bad Strategy clarifies the muddled thinking underlying too many strategies and provides a clear way to create and implement a powerful action-oriented strategy for the real world. Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to—and approach for—overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy.” In Good Strategy/Bad Strategy, he debunks these elements of “bad strategy” and awakens an understanding of the power of a “good strategy.” He introduces nine sources of power—ranging from using leverage to effectively focusing on growth—that are eye-opening yet pragmatic tools that can easily be put to work on Monday morning, and uses fascinating examples from business, nonprofit, and military affairs to bring its original and pragmatic ideas to life. The detailed examples range from Apple to General Motors, from the two Iraq wars to Afghanistan, from a small local market to Wal-Mart, from Nvidia to Silicon Graphics, from the Getty Trust to the Los Angeles Unified School District, from Cisco Systems to Paccar, and from Global Crossing to the 2007–08 financial crisis. Reflecting an astonishing grasp and integration of economics, finance, technology, history, and the brilliance and foibles of the human character, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy stems from Rumelt’s decades of digging beyond the superficial to address hard questions with honesty and integrity.

Download or read book Man and His Symbols written by Carl G. Jung and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landmark text about the inner workings of the unconscious mind—from the symbolism that unlocks the meaning of our dreams to their effect on our waking lives and artistic impulses—featuring more than a hundred images that break down Carl Jung’s revolutionary ideas “What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society.”—The Guardian “Our psyche is part of nature, and its enigma is limitless.” Since our inception, humanity has looked to dreams for guidance. But what are they? How can we understand them? And how can we use them to shape our lives? There is perhaps no one more equipped to answer these questions than the legendary psychologist Carl G. Jung. It is in his life’s work that the unconscious mind comes to be understood as an expansive, rich world just as vital and true a part of the mind as the conscious, and it is in our dreams—those personal, integral expressions of our deepest selves—that it communicates itself to us. A seminal text written explicitly for the general reader, Man and His Symbolsis a guide to understanding the symbols in our dreams and using that knowledge to build fuller, more receptive lives. Full of fascinating case studies and examples pulled from philosophy, history, myth, fairy tales, and more, this groundbreaking work—profusely illustrated with hundreds of visual examples—offers invaluable insight into the symbols we dream that demand understanding, why we seek meaning at all, and how these very symbols affect our lives. By illuminating the means to examine our prejudices, interpret psychological meanings, break free of our influences, and recenter our individuality, Man and His Symbols proves to be—decades after its conception—a revelatory, absorbing, and relevant experience.
