Download or read book Sans Dessus Dessous Topsy Turvy written by Jules Verne and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-26 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known variously as San Dessus Dessous, Topsy Turvy and The Purchase of the North Pole, this is Verne's sequel to From The Earth to The Moon. Like many of his works it points out some of the follies of man in an almost satyrical way. It is the 1890s and man has not yet reached the actual North Pole, but an auction is won by a representative from an anonymous United States buyer. After the auction closes, the mysterious buyer is revealed to be Barbicane and Co., a company founded by Impey Barbicane, J.T. Maston and Captain Nicholl - the same members of the Baltimore Gun Club who, twenty years earlier, had traveled around the Moon inside a large cannon shell. They have left the comfort of retirement with an audacious plan to un-tilt the Earth's axis thus eliminating the seasons and tempering the Earth's atmosphere. But more importantly to those who would exploit the new positioning, it would bring an untold wealth of coal down from the frozen north and make mining it easy. But, what else might it do?

Download or read book Spatial Prepositions written by Claude Vandeloise and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1991-10-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This striking study of the meaning and use of the major spatial prepositions in French provides valuable insight into how the human mind organizes spatial relationships. Most previous analyses of spatial prepositions have assumed that their semantic properties can be adequately explained by familiar logical and geometrical concepts. Thus, the standard view of the preposition "in" as it appears in the sentence "the ball is in the bag" postulates that it refers to the geometrical relation of inclusion. This paradigm, however, falters when faced with the contrast in acceptability between sentences such as "the bulb is in the socket" and "the bottle is in the cap." The force exerted by the "landmark" (a conceptually fixed object) on the "target" (a moveable object) is crucial in this difference: the functional notion of containment seems more operational in the use of the preposition "in" than inclusion. That is, what are taken to be the landmark and the target depend greatly on the functions these objects serve in the human scheme. This offers important clues to otherwise problematic linguistic quirks, such as why one sleeps in one's bed, while one is said to lie on one's deathbed. While many of the examples apply in English as well as French, there are some noteworthy differences—in French one sits on a chair, but in a couch. Vandeloise convincingly argues that it is precisely this subjective element which makes a standard geometrical account unfeasible.
