Download or read book Two Wheels on my Wagon written by Paul Howard and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As bicycle races go, the attractions of the Tour Divide are not immediately apparent. For a start, it is the longest mountain-bike race in the world, running nearly 3,000 miles down the Rockies from Canada to Mexico. But the distance is not the only challenge - the total ascent of 200,000 ft is the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest nearly seven times. Then there are the dangerous animals likely to be encountered on the route: grizzly bears, mountain lions and wolves, not to mention rattlesnakes and tarantulas. Worse, the rewards for all this effort are strictly limited. Unlike in the Tour de France, there is no fabled yellow jersey and no prize money. Yet, undaunted, and in spite of never having owned a mountain bike, Paul Howard signed up. Battling the worst weather for generations, drinking whiskey with a cowboy and singing karaoke with the locals, Howard's journey turned into more than just a race - it became the adventure of a lifetime.
Download or read book A Rhetorical Conversation written by Jordan D. Finkin and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-01-18 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Jewish language. The fact that Jews speak and write in distinctive ways is well known. (The journalist Mike Royko called it “Hebonics.”) These forms of expression actually draw from many sources and have been employed in popular culture from Henry Roth’s Call It Sleep to the novels of Saul Bellow to contemporary television. What has received less attention is what allowed these modern forms to flow from a rich body of Yiddish literature. This book fills that gap by exploring the language of modern Yiddish literature, addressing emblematically why Jews answer a question with a question. Through a series of case studies, A Rhetorical Conversation explores various distinctive aspects of Yiddish literature to explain the nature and importance of Jewish discourse: the way of speaking, writing, arguing, and thinking developed by Yiddish culture based on prolonged and intimate contact with traditional texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have seen and done so many things in my life that I felt I needed to write them down for other people to read. I never had to look for a job after I reached twenty-five years old. I had many calls from people in the meat business, offering me a job. It made me feel like I did things right. In my book, there are many examples of how and why I succeeded. This program is for the improvement of yields with employee involvement. All departments put together a team of ten employees and troubleshoot and discuss ways to improve yields. After six weeks, each team and employee presents their program in front of the whole family who are the owners, who believe in the fair treatment of the employees. It just goes to show how people who are treated right can affect the bottom line in a good way.
