Download or read book Aardvark to Zygote 1000 People Places and Things You Need to Know to Solve Crossword Puzzles written by Richard Showstack and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aardvark to Zygote" isn't a "dictionary." It's a compilation of "cross weirds" (words which appear more often in crosswords than in the media or conversation). It is doesn't include the simple words that often appear in crosswords but which the reader/solver no doubt already knows. Nor does it include the difficult words that only a few people would know (or want to know). It includes those "in-between words" which are not commonly used but which, because they use the most common letters of the alphabet, often appear in crosswords. There are two ways to use this collection: If you have the patience, you can use it as a reference to look a particular word. Or you can use it as a study guide, both to improve your crossword-solving skills as well as your general vocabulary. Whichever way you use it, have fun! (Will Shortz [Crossword Editor, The New York Times and Puzzlemaster, NPR] wrote: "AARDVARK TO ZYGOTE is amusing and nice. It's a good thing for crossworders to study.")

Book excerpt: Autobiographical poetry from one of Kentucky’s rising Affrilachian literary stars. Bernard Clay’s autobiographical poetry debut, English Lit, juxtaposes the roots of Black male identity against an urban and rural Kentucky landscape. Hailed as one of the most authentic voices of his generation, Clay artfully renders coming-of-age in the predominately Black West End of Louisville, Kentucky. Balancing the spirited grit of a farmer and the careful lyricism of a poet, English Lit is a triumph of new Affrilachian—African American and Appalachian—literature.

Download or read book America s Philosophical Vision written by John E. Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1992-06-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these previously uncollected essays, Smith argues that American philosophers like Peirce, James, Royce, and Dewey have forged a unique philosophical tradition—one that is rich and complex enough to represent a genuine alternative to the analytic, phenomenological, and hermeneutical traditions which have originated in Britain or Europe. "In my judgment, John Smith has no equal today in combining two scholarly qualities: the analysis of philosophical texts with penetration and rigor, and the discernment of what it is in these texts that matters. These qualities are in evidence throughout the essays in America's Philosophical Vision. Whether he is evaluating Rorty's view of Dewey; the pragmatic theory of experience and truth; theories of freedom, creativity, and the self; Royce's conception of community; or synoptic philosophic visions, Smith always succeeds in uniting a comprehensive understanding of philosophic writings with a sure grasp of their import for human culture and aspiration. It is a great benefit to students of American thought that these papers have now been collected into one volume."—James Gouinlock, Emory University
Download or read book Web Dragons written by Ian H. Witten and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-27 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Web Dragons offers a perspective on the world of Web search and the effects of search engines and information availability on the present and future world. In the blink of an eye since the turn of the millennium, the lives of people who work with information have been utterly transformed. Everything we need to know is on the web. It's where we learn and play, shop and do business, keep up with old friends and meet new ones. Search engines make it possible for us to find the stuff we need to know. Search engines — web dragons — are the portals through which we access society's treasure trove of information. How do they stack up against librarians, the gatekeepers over centuries past? What role will libraries play in a world whose information is ruled by the web? How is the web organized? Who controls its contents, and how do they do it? How do search engines work? How can web visibility be exploited by those who want to sell us their wares? What's coming tomorrow, and can we influence it? As we witness the dawn of a new era, this book shows readers what it will look like and how it will change their world. Whoever you are: if you care about information, this book will open your eyes and make you blink. Presents a critical view of the idea of funneling information access through a small handful of gateways and the notion of a centralized index--and the problems that may cause Provides promising approaches for addressing the problems, such as the personalization of web services Presented by authorities in the field of digital libraries, web history, machine learning, and web and data mining Find more information at the author's site: webdragons.net
Download or read book Translating Your Past written by Michelle Van Loon and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncover the spiritual strength of your family story. We all have a desire to learn more about where we’ve come from, and technology has made this more possible than ever. But our family stories are more than a list of DNA results on a piece of paper or a bunch of fading Kodachrome images filling old photo albums. In an era often marked by both fragmentation in family and culture and a hunger to discover our genetic roots, our family stories—including the difficult, complex ones—can carry great spiritual strength. The desire to trace, interpret, and pass on our family’s history is embedded in Scripture from beginning to end—there are nine genealogies found in the book of Genesis alone. When we bring together the various threads of our family stories with Scripture’s insights, they can provide the key to decoding our identity and helping us discover our place in family, church, and world. In Translating Your Past, author Michelle Van Loon helps readers uncover how patterns and gaps in family histories, generational trauma, adoption, genetic clues and surprises, spiritual history, and the church help us translate our own pasts and understand why these stories matter. Each chapter includes questions designed for individual reflection or small group discussion, as well as an appendix of helpful tools readers can use to translate their own pasts and create meaning in order to transform their unique family history into living, faith-filled heritage.

Download or read book Rhetoric and Kairos written by Phillip Sipiora and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers the first comprehensive discussion of the history, theory, and pedagogical applications of kairos, a seminal and recently revised concept of classical rhetoric. Augusto Rostagni, James L. Kinneavy, Richard Leo Enos, John Poulakos, and John E. Smith are among the international list of scholars who explore the Homeric and literary origins of kairos, the technologies of time-keeping in antiquity, the role of "right-timing" in Hippocratic medicine, the improvisations of Gorgias, as well as the uses of kairos in Isocrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, and the New Testament. Broad in its scope, the book also examines the distinctive philosophies of time reflected in Renaissance Humanism, Nineteenth-Century American Transcendentalism, Oriental art and ritual, and the application of kairos to contemporary philosophy, ethics, literary criticism, rhetorical theory, and composition pedagogy.
Download or read book The Amazing Law of Influence written by Duncan, King and published by Pelican Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:
You have heard about it in Pay It Forward, you've heard about it in Six Degrees of Separation , but no single author has given as much consideration to the laws of influence as King Duncan does here. This reader-friendly book looks at chaos theory--how small changes can trigger monumental transformations. The example of this theory most often cited is that of Edward Lorenz, who discovered in the 1960s that the tiniest movement in the air in one part of the world can produce dramatic changes in weather patterns months later in another part of the world. Thus, a butterfly flapping its wings in Malibu might set into motion a series of events that could produce a monsoon months later in Malaysia. The Law of Influence states that one life touches another and potentially both lives are changed; through this change, potentially the entire world is changed. Even chance events--a smile, a word spoken at just the right moment, or even people like John Howard, who helped a young English journalist return home. The young journalist was Winston Churchill, and the rest is history. More important than explaining what the law of influence is, this book explains how individuals can use it to create a life worth living, and to share the lessons to create families and communities that work together for the greater good. Together, people aware of and involved with their own influence on others have the potential to make amazing things happen. King Duncan is a professional speaker and author of two other books, Amazing Grace: Humor to Heal Mind, Soul, and Body , and The One-Minute Motivator . In 1993, he was the national winner of the International Platform Association's prestigious Speaker's Ladder Award. He lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he owns and manages his communications company, Seven Worlds Corporation.
