Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My own impression of the story is that it is a soap opera of peoples lives, set in a zoo, in a book. The story details the interactions of many diverse characters within the central theme, situated inside the walls of a passive city zoo, located in the warm areas of Coastal California. It entails the story of a young woman, heiress to the magnifi cent old zoo and her accounts of coping with the daily routines and lives, of not only the enormous amount of animals in her care, but also of the many people who are involved in running such a colossal and demanding enterprise. Jessica Williams faces her own journey of growing up within this intense atmosphere, while becoming aware of her deep love for one of her co-workers and mentors, an ex-army veteran who is plagued with emotional troubles, amid the concentration of her own dedication to the monumental task of keeping the zoo alive. The two devoted people cohere together to keep the giant enterprise running, surrounded by the many sagas involving the zoo staff and helpers, amid the shocking treachery of Jessies own father. Another character adding to the twisted tales of emotional roller coasters, is that of a young lion tamer Snow Reynolds, who aspires to become a world class prize fi ghter. Just a glimpse of the many colourful stories and realistic characters, evoking the vast array of lives, involved within the walls of the Grand Century Old Matacalli City Zoo.

Download or read book Analyzing Syntax written by Paul Kroeger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-08 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing Syntax: A Lexical-Functional Approach is a comprehensive and accessible 2004 textbook on syntactic analysis, designed for students of linguistics at advanced undergraduate or graduate level. Working within the 'Lexical Functional Grammar' (LFG) approach, it provides students with a framework for analyzing and describing grammatical structure, using extensive examples from both European and non-European languages. Topics covered include: tests for constituency, passivization and other relation-changing processes, reflexive pronouns, the control relation, Topic and Focus, relative clauses and Wh-questions, causative constructions, serial verbs, 'quirky case', and ergativity. As well as building on what linguists have learned about language in general, particular attention is paid to the unique features of individual languages. While its primary focus is on syntactic structure, the book also deals with aspects of meaning, function and word-structure that are directly relevant to syntax. Clearly organised into topics, this textbook is ideal for one-semester courses in syntax and grammatical analysis.

Book excerpt: Abandoned in a department store as a baby, thirteen-year-old Tom Mullen has been shuffled from one rotten foster home to another his entire life. When he hears rumors that a mass grave has been unearthed on his school grounds, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to it. The grave pulls Tom down into its terrible darkness and beyond, where he discovers that he is no longer in Liverpool in 1974 but in Ireland in 1847, at the height of the potato famine. A family named Monaghan takes him in, and for the first time Tom experiences what it is like to have parents and siblings who care for one another. But why has Tom been transported through time and space? And why must the grave keep yanking him back to his dreary lonely existence in Liverpool? Most of all, what does it mean that the Monaghan's son, Tully, is practically Tom's double?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eco-Justice--The Unfinished Journey links ecological sustainability and social justice from an ethical and often theological perspective. Eco-justice, defined as the well-being of all humankind on a thriving earth, began as a movement during the 1970s, responding to massive, sobering evidence that nature imposes limits-limits to production and consumption, with profound implications for distributive justice, and limits to the human numbers sustainable by habitat earth. This collection includes contributions from the leading interpreters of the eco-justice movement as it recounts the evolution of the Eco-JusticeProject, initiated by campus ministries in Rochester and Ithaca, New York.
