Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Culture, Vol. 2 One Sure Way of Rising in the World "You have one sure way of rising in the world, and that is wholly within your power; make yourself necessary." These are the words of Lord Chesterfield to his son, and the man whose fame rests upon the enduring foundation that his name has become a synonym for Culture, supplemented his advice with the statement that "civility, affability, and obliging agreeable dress and manner are welcome everywhere." In repeating this good advice to a protegee of her own, a New York dowager added: "Make yourself necessary to some one" and unpleasant to no one and she quoted an epitaph in an English churchyard reading: "She was so pleasant," as all that is necessary to say in praise of a person, in that it embraces everything good. A person without ability to express innate Culture cannot be pleasing to those who possess it, as the crudeness he might reveal would jar upon the nerves of the Cultured.

Download or read book The Two Cultures written by C. P. Snow and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-07-30 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion that our society, its education system and its intellectual life, is characterised by a split between two cultures - the arts or humanities on one hand, and the sciences on the other - has a long history. But it was C. P. Snow's Rede lecture of 1959 that brought it to prominence and began a public debate that is still raging in the media today. This 50th anniversary printing of The Two Cultures and its successor piece, A Second Look (in which Snow responded to the controversy four years later) features an introduction by Stefan Collini, charting the history and context of the debate, its implications and its afterlife. The importance of science and technology in policy run largely by non-scientists, the future for education and research, and the problem of fragmentation threatening hopes for a common culture are just some of the subjects discussed.
Download or read book Greek Prose Composition Classic Reprint written by Henry Carr Pearson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Download or read book The Interpretation of Cultures written by Clifford Geertz and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the twentieth century's most influential books, this classic work of anthropology offers a groundbreaking exploration of what culture is With The Interpretation of Cultures, the distinguished anthropologist Clifford Geertz developed the concept of thick description, and in so doing, he virtually rewrote the rules of his field. Culture, Geertz argues, does not drive human behavior. Rather, it is a web of symbols that can help us better understand what that behavior means. A thick description explains not only the behavior, but the context in which it occurs, and to describe something thickly, Geertz argues, is the fundamental role of the anthropologist. Named one of the 100 most important books published since World War II by the Times Literary Supplement, The Interpretation of Cultures transformed how we think about others' cultures and our own. This definitive edition, with a foreword by Robert Darnton, remains an essential book for anthropologists, historians, and anyone else seeking to better understand human cultures.
