Download or read book Structure Preserved written by C. Jan-Wouter Zwart and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-29 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Structure is at the rock-bottom of all explanatory sciences" (Jan Koster). Forty years ago, the hypothesis that underlying the bewildering variety of syntactic phenomena are general and unified structural patterns of unexpected beauty and simplicity gave rise to major advancements in the study of Dutch and Germanic syntax, with important implications for the theory of grammar as a whole. Jan Koster was one of the central figures in this development, and he has continued to explore the structure preserving hypothesis throughout his illustrious career. This collection of articles by over forty syntacticians celebrates the advancements made in the study of syntax over the past forty years, reflecting on the structural principles underlying syntactic phenomena and emulating the approach to syntactic analysis embodied in Jan Koster's teaching and research.

Download or read book Tomorrow Is Another Day written by Mary Jane Staples and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From autumn 1941 to the first months of 1942, the war continued to affect the lives of the Adams and Somers families. It was not so much the war, however, as a succession of tragic domestic events that brought a sad and lonely little girl called Phoebe into the care of Susie and Sammy Adams, reminding them of the entry of Rosie as a child into the lives of Boots and Emily. Much needed to be done to cure little Phoebe of her sadness, and it proved a difficult time for Susie and Sammy. Further shadows fell when news came that Tim was a prisoner of war, and that Japan had attacked the American fleet in Pearl Harbour and British bases in the Far East. But Boots's French-born daughter Eloise had her dearest wish come true when she married Colonel Lucas of the Commandos in Alexandria.
Download or read book The Closing of the Muslim Mind written by Robert R. Reilly and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book you must read to understand the Islamist crisis—and the threat to us all Robert R. Reilly’s eye-opening book masterfully explains the frightening behavior coming out of the Islamic world. Terrorism, he shows, is only one manifestation of the spiritual pathology of Islamism. Reilly uncovers the root of our contemporary crisis: a pivotal struggle waged within the Muslim world nearly a millennium ago. In a heated battle over the role of reason, the side of irrationality won. The deformed theology that resulted, Reilly reveals, produced the spiritual pathology of Islamism, and a deeply dysfunctional culture. The Closing of the Muslim Mind solves such puzzles as: · Why the Arab world stands near the bottom of every measure of human development · Why scientific inquiry is nearly dead in the Islamic world · Why Spain translates more books in a single year than the entire Arab world has in the past thousand years · Why some people in Saudi Arabia still refuse to believe man has been to the moon

In addition to 474 letters, the volume contains three memorandums concerning Bentham’s health shortly before this death, his Last Will and Testament, and extracts from both the Autobiography and the manuscript diaries of Bentham’s nephew George. Of the letters that have already been published, most are drawn from the edition of The Works of Jeremy Bentham, prepared under the superintendence of Bentham’s literary executor John Bowring. A small number of letters have been reproduced from newspapers and periodicals. This volume publishes for the first time all the extant correspondence between Bentham and Daniel O’Connell, the Irish Liberator. Other new acquaintances included Charles Sinclair Cullen, barrister and law reformer, and John Tyrrell, the Real Property Commissioner. Throughout the period, Bentham maintained regular contact with old friends and connections, but he also entered into sporadic correspondence with such leading figures in government as the Duke of Wellington, Robert Peel and Henry Brougham. Further afield, Bentham corresponded, amongst others, with the Marquis de La Fayette in France, Edward Livingston in the United States of America and José Del Valle in Guatemala.
Download or read book Let s Read written by Leonard Bloomfield and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1961 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's Read is a simple and systematic way to teach basic reading. Developed by noted linguist Leonard Bloomfield, the book is based on the alphabetic spelling patterns of English. Bloomfield offered an antidote to the idea that English is a difficult language to learn to read by teaching the learner to decode the phonemic sound-letter correlations of the language in a sequential, logical progression of lessons based on its spelling patterns. The learner is first introduced to the most consistent (alphabetic) vocabulary and then to increasingly less alphabetic and less frequent spelling patterns within a vocabulary of about 5,000 words.
Download or read book M Z THE FORBIDDEN PLACE written by Milad Farahi and published by Milad F.. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who will rescue the Earth? Who is not indifferent to it`s destiny? Eternal struggle of Good and Evil. Rescuing the Earth and the mankind. These questions worry the minds and hearts of many people. But what is Good and Evil? Everything in this world is accepted comparatively: there`s nothing worse or better, and the division into “Pro” and “Con” didn`t happen at once. The ancient spirit – M.Z., the Black Tiger had to go out of the shadow in order to enter into an open battle for the preservation of the Earth and the rescue of the mankind, as particularly the people will become the “tool” in his hand, which will help to escape the inevitable end of the Universe.Without their help the Black (Tiger) will not do... The Tiger considered his mission the maintenance of the Earth and the struggle with the forces striving to violate the harmony of the established equilibrium. Within thousands of years the struggle continued with the varying success until one day came the understanding that the Earth inevitably approaches the collapse, and something terrible will occur that will destroy it. Time after time, exercising in his dream the nightmare of the Earth`s destruction, the Tiger understands that indeed it`s the end, but can not agree with it. Having overcome the inner fight, the Immortal Spirit divided: this is how appeared the White Tiger with the black stripes and the Black Tiger with the white ones - M.Z. The White Tiger had no doubts that the people are responsible for all the troubles and particularly they will be the reason of the Earth `s downfall. In order to prevent the inevitable one has to destroy the less evil – the mankind. However, the Black Tiger had the opposite meaning on this point, he didn`t want the death of the people and truly believed that with their help he`ll be able to rescue this Universe. After the battles and arguments, which were going on during centuries M.Z. was able to persuade the White Tiger that everything is not so unambiguous and people are not guilty, one has to find another reason. Tired of the struggle the White Tiger agreed to leave “the battle field”, promised to return back and finish the struggle when the Black Tiger will understand that the fight for the people is useless. The Supreme Custodian and the Head Custodian of the Earth, the Dragon, permitted M.Z. to take the human image, in order to go to the people and find out the reason of the forthcoming disaster and also to find the supporters, to become the single team for the sake of rescuing the Earth. Only together one can solve the problem – the Black Tiger was certain of it. The team was gathered, but for the preparation and realization into life the created plan they needed the time, the intensive trainings, the fulfilling of the not simple, not known to the people tasks. M.Z. adherents become very close, turning into one single unit in thoughts and actions. Not knowing each other and living their own lives, every member of the team is crazy about one and the same idea. No one of the rescue team knows M.Z. in face: the only thing they know are the bright eyes under the magic helmet. Is he a human being indeed? No one of the people knows it. Notwithstanding the resistance of the high and mighty of this Universe, and that the White Tiger «washed one`s hands of it” and decided not to rescue the Earth, the Black Tiger didn`t step away of his decision – to rescue the most dear thing to him – the Earth. How much will cost the rescue operation to him? Whom or what one will have to sacrifice? Will M.Z. break his life principles for the sake of preservation of the Universe?

Book excerpt: This epic novel by master writer James Clavell, loosely based on the Namamugi Incident and Anglo-Satsuma War that took place in the late 1800s, is a richly researched, panoramic view of Japan’s budding relationship with the Western powers, its sweeping societal changes, and the political upheaval that followed. As Malcolm Struan, the son of Culum and Tess Struan, and a small band of Westerners travel down the Tōkaidō road, they are attacked by two Satsuma samurai, who mortally wound John Canterbury and seriously injure Malcolm, who then finds reprieve in the merchant village of Yokohama after a narrow escape facilitated by the unscathed Angelique. Angelique Richaud, Malcolm’s penniless but beautiful French companion, is thrown into a world of political intrigue, fierce devotion, unstable family dynamics, blackmail, and secrets as the trading houses battle for supremacy. With a cast of dynamic and fully recognized characters, Gai-Jin spins a tale of passionate love affairs, devastating loss, intense power struggles, and the fight to survive and thrive in a hostile new land that will leave readers longing for another foray into Clavell’s extraordinary Asian Saga.

Download or read book Reexamining World Literature written by Richard Serrano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serrano calls for a reassessment of the practice of World Literature with six case studies taken from the Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Korean and Latin American traditions. Although in recent years the field has adopted more inclusive and wide-ranging criteria for college-level anthologies of World Literature, and has seen the collection and publication of critical readers, book-length introductions, and even a history, the theoretical predisposition of most of its practitioners paradoxically has led to a shrinking of its horizons and a narrowing of its vision. Reexamining World Literature asks scholars to look beyond the current dominant definition of World Literature (works in English with broad reach or works in other languages with significant circulation in English translation) in order to engage with a range of complex texts that elude the field’s assumptions. World Literature need not be a we-are-the-world of shared values, but instead should ask readers to question what those values are.

Download or read book Tomorrow s Silk Road written by Jacques Pelkmans and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This CEPS book comprises a first-ever economic and regulatory analysis of a possible Free Trade Area (FTA) between China and the EU, whose design is supposed to be 'deep and comprehensive'. It provides an overview of the global economic environment in which EU-Chinese economic relations have developed in recent years, including global value chains linking the two economies. The substance of the FTA design is then elaborated in nine, largely empirical and technical chapters ranging from tariff analysis (at the 6- and 8-digit level) and technical barriers to trade, to services, government procurement and investment. A third part comprises a CGE-model-based empirical simulation of the economic effects on GDP per member state (and on China), bilateral trade in goods and services, wages for workers with three distinct skill-levels and a series of goods and services sectors. The year-long study was led by Jacques Pelkmans of CEPS, and the research was carried out by a team of trade specialists at CEPS in partnership with another team of researchers led by Prof. Joseph Francois of the World Trade Institute (WTI) in Bern.
