Download or read book Juma The Great written by A.K. Chesterton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the hilarious adventures of one Juma, an African gentleman of optimistic temperament, who left his mountain home in the fastnesses of Uganda to drive a lorry for the British Army during its invasion of Abyssinia. Juma had no doubt that it was his intervention in the world conflict which brought such speedy triumph to British arms. His exploits were certainly wonderful, but when the reader has laughed over them, and laid the book aside, it may be he will discover that his laughter was never far removed from more poignant emotions. No "iron curtain" marks the frontier between comedy, even when it comes near to farce, and the domain of tragedy. Juma is thus to be described as a tragi-comic figure, summing up in his own vivid experience something of the destiny of all men. This is not a war book in the accepted sense. The war is but a background against which the personality of Juma burgeons.

Book excerpt: “Full of sex, magic, and turmoil...poetic and utterly beautiful. I can't remember the last time a book made me stop and think, wow.” --Meredith Wild, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Dutch JUMA is the second book in The Keeper Series and continues the thrilling, sexy urban fantasy saga that began with DUTCH. I work for Death; helping her cross the dead back to the living. I am the best at what I do, and I fear no one. Then I cross paths with Dutch Mathew and all I hold sacred is turned on its head. Dutch is an uncontrollable force of nature, and I want nothing more than to wrap myself around him for all of my lives. Our love is desperate like a sickness, blinding in its madness, suffocating in its intensity. Together we are light and laughter and all things beautiful, but we are no fools. We know darkness looms. Dutch has tried to topple an entity he cannot hope to wrangle alone. Death is ever-demanding in her quest to control and bend me to her will. And a new, darker threat has erupted and runs amok, bringing with it dread and terror and a fight like no other; one where the stakes are high and the winner takes all. In this game of lives, Dutch and I need each other to stand strong. But first we must be strong enough to stand together. "Absolutely addictive!" --Helen Hardt, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author on Dutch "Dark. Sensual. Unputdownable. I devoured this book and can't wait for the next!"--Kate Baxter, author of The Untamed Vampire on Dutch Publisher's Note: Juma is a scorchingly sexy, romantic urban fantasy, full of forbidden love, romance and very hot love scenes.
Download or read book Innovation and Its Enemies written by Calestous Juma and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New technologies may be heralded as life-changing innovations or feared as risks to moral values, human health, and environmental safety. Anxieties surrounding technology are often heightened by perceptions that their benefits will accrue to small sections of society while the risks are more widely distributed. Innovation and Its Enemies identifies the tension between the need for innovation and the pressure to maintain continuity, social order and stability as one of today's biggest policy challenges. It looks at a number of historical examples, including coffee, electricity, margarine, farm mechanization, recorded music, transgenic crops and transgenic animals, to show how new technologies emerge, take root and create new institutional ecologies that favor their dominance in the marketplace.

Download or read book Functionalism and Grammar written by Talmy Givón and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is Prof. Givon's long-awaited critical examination of the fundamental theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the functionalist approach to grammar. It challenges functionalists to take their own medicine and establish non-circular empirical definitions of both 'function' and 'structure'. Ideological hand-waving, however fervent and right-thinking, is seldom an adequate substitute for analytic rigor and empirical responsibility. If the reductionist extremism of the various structuralist schools is to be challenged on solid intellectual grounds, the challenge cannot itself be equally extreme in its reductionism. The book is divided into nine chapters: 1. Prospectus, somewhat jaundiced (overview) 2. Markedness as meta-iconicity: Distributional and cognitive correlates of syntactic structure 3. The functional basis of grammatical typology 4. Modal prototypes of truth and action 5. Taking structure seriously: Constituency and the VP node 6. Taking structure seriously II: Grammatical relations and clause union 7. The distribution of grammar in text: On interpreting conditional associations 8. Coming to terms with cognition: Coherence in text vs. coherence in mind 9. On the co-evolution of language, mind and brain.

Students are shown how to use standard notational devices such as phrase structure trees and word-formation rules, as well as prose descriptions.

Topics covered include word order, constituency, case, agreement, tense, gender, pronoun systems, inflection, derivation, argument structure and grammatical relations, and a useful glossary provides a clear explanation of each term.
