Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Skeleton Spanish Grammar The Skeleton Spanish Grammar, first published in 1917, was intended for students and teachers who realized the necessity of a sound knowledge of grammar, and wished to have the irreducible minimum in clear and convenient form before them. Its success has enabled me to bring out a new and enlarged edition, which, in plan and general arrangement, follows its original. Condensation of matter, elasticity of treatment, and, above all, accuracy and clearness, have been kept in view throughout. The principal departure in this edition has been the inclusion of an introductory section on the sounds of the Spanish language, together with a sound chart and a number of exercises in phonetic transcription, the notation used being that of the International Phonetic Association as adapted in my Phonetic Spanish Reader. The paucity of material at present available for those who wish to have an accurate and scientific knowledge of the pronunciation of Spanish leads me to hope that these new sections will be found of utility; I have been greatly helped in preparing them by Professor Daniel Jones, who has kindly read the most important parts in manuscript and made many suggestions. The general arrangement of the Grammar, which makes it a useful manual of reference as well as a class-book, has not been altered.

Download or read book Funny Bones written by Duncan Tonatiuh and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funny Bones tells the story of how the amusing calaveras—skeletons performing various everyday or festive activities—came to be. They are the creation of Mexican artist José Guadalupe (Lupe) Posada (1852–1913). In a country that was not known for freedom of speech, he first drew political cartoons, much to the amusement of the local population but not the politicians. He continued to draw cartoons throughout much of his life, but he is best known today for his calavera drawings. They have become synonymous with Mexico’s Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. Juxtaposing his own art with that of Lupe’s, author Duncan Tonatiuh brings to light the remarkable life and work of a man whose art is beloved by many but whose name has remained in obscurity. The book includes an author’s note, bibliography, glossary, and index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Skeleton Spanish Grammar The series of exercises which follows the grammatical lessons is based upon this scheme of work, but, as the precise subject of every exercise can be seen from a glance at the scheme, this part of the book can perfectly well be used by those who follow a system of their own. Direct method teachers will, it is hoped, find the conversation passages in the early exercises suggestive as well as of intrinsic value. In response to many requests, some further fables have been added to those already given as reading selections; the simplicity and familiarity of their plots, it seems, makes them especially popular, and indeed those of Samaniego are as well suited to the class as to the private student.

Download or read book Skeletons on the Zahara written by Dean King and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2004-02-16 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: b.A masterpiece of historical adventure, ISkeletons on the Zahara The western Sahara is a baking hot and desolate place, home only to nomads and their camels, and to locusts, snails and thorny scrub -- and its barren and ever-changing coastline has baffled sailors for centuries. In August 1815, the US brig Commerce was dashed against Cape Bojador and lost, although through bravery and quick thinking the ship's captain, James Riley, managed to lead all of his crew to safety. What followed was an extraordinary and desperate battle for survival in the face of human hostility, starvation, dehydration, death and despair. Captured, robbed and enslaved, the sailors were dragged and driven through the desert by their new owners, who neither spoke their language nor cared for their plight. Reduced to drinking urine, flayed by the sun, crippled by walking miles across burning stones and sand and losing over half of their body weights, the sailors struggled to hold onto both their humanity and their sanity. To reach safety, they would have to overcome not only the desert but also the greed and anger of those who would keep them in captivity. From the cold waters of the Atlantic to the searing Saharan sands, from the heart of the desert to the heart of man, Skeletons on the Zahara is a spectacular odyssey through the extremes and a gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.
Download or read book Devoted to Death written by R. Andrew Chesnut and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. Andrew Chesnut offers a fascinating portrayal of Santa Muerte, a skeleton saint whose cult has attracted millions of devotees over the past decade. Although condemned by mainstream churches, this folk saint's supernatural powers appeal to millions of Latin Americans and immigrants in the U.S. Devotees believe the Bony Lady (as she is affectionately called) to be the fastest and most effective miracle worker, and as such, her statuettes and paraphernalia now outsell those of the Virgin of Guadalupe and Saint Jude, two other giants of Mexican religiosity. In particular, Chesnut shows Santa Muerte has become the patron saint of drug traffickers, playing an important role as protector of peddlers of crystal meth and marijuana; DEA agents and Mexican police often find her altars in the safe houses of drug smugglers. Yet Saint Death plays other important roles: she is a supernatural healer, love doctor, money-maker, lawyer, and angel of death. She has become without doubt one of the most popular and powerful saints on both the Mexican and American religious landscapes.
