Book excerpt: 'I ask you to picture a place where the air is pure, the sky is blue, and the earth is green. My story begins in such a place, next to a beautiful lake between two mountain peaks and surrounded by towering ponderosa pines...' Sid the Beaver is a shy, precocious beaver, who is a bit too small for his age. Struggling to find his place in this world, Sid begins to befriend many of the forest's other animals, unlike the rest of his beaver kin. When Sid begins to discover that the beavers are causing hardships on many of the other animals, he struggles to do right by the rest of the forest. Todd Kerkhoven's A Beaver Named Sid, A Northwest Tale follows the journeys of Sid and his animals pals, Fred the Bear, a Gray Jay named Lynn, and Pete the Bald Eagle and their conflicts with the careless and selfish beavers, ruthlessly lead by Ace. Along the way Sid is forced to make difficult decisions about his identity, allegiances, and morals. Kerkhoven's debut work is a wonderful tale for young readers about the struggles of acceptance and the difficulties of decision making. Join in on Sid's wild adventures! Todd Kerkhoven is a carpenter from Homewood, Illinois; twenty-three miles south of Chicago. During his lifetime he has witnessed the good and bad in people and realized the impact on his life. Those experiences, along with his love of the Pacific Northwest, inspired him to write this book.
Download or read book Sense and Sensitivity written by David I. Beaver and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-01-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sense and Sensitivity advances a novel research proposal in the nascent field of formal pragmatics, exploring in detail the semantics and pragmatics of focus in natural language discourse. The authors develop a new account of focus sensitivity, and show that what has hitherto been regarded as a uniform phenomenon in fact results from three different mechanisms. The book Makes a major contribution to ongoing research in the area of focus sensitivity – a field exploring interactions between sound and meaning, specifically the dependency some words have on the effects of focus, such as "she only LIKES me" (i.e. nothing deeper) compared to "she only likes ME" (i.e. nobody else) Discusses the features of the QFC theory (Quasi association, Free association, and Conventional association), a new account of focus implying a tripartite typology of focus-sensitive expressions Presents novel cross-linguistic data on focus and focus sensitivity that will be relevant across a range of linguistic sub-fields: semantics and pragmatics, syntax, and intonational phonology Concludes with a case study of exclusives (like “only”), arguing that the entire existing literature has missed crucial generalizations, and for the first time explaining the focus sensitivity of these expressions in terms of their meaning and discourse function

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the daughter of a US senator disappears from the center of Kodiak, Alaska, in the middle of the day, FBI agent Nick Morgan arrives to assist police detective Maureen Horner and Alaska State Trooper Dan Patterson with the investigation. Soon, the officers realize that other young people have vanished from the area as well, and they can find no evidence or eyewitnesses to explain the disappearances. Meanwhile, bored pilot Steve Larson spends his evenings sitting on the back deck of his floatplane air charter service while he recovers from a debilitating illness. He watches a plane land after dark and sees two men escort a seemingly incapacitated woman to the plane and push her into the rear seat. When the same thing happens a few days later, Steve wonders if he's imagining things or if these men are kidnapping people. He calls marine biologist and amateur detective Jane Marcus and asks her to sit with him the next time the plane arrives. Jane agrees with Steve: these men are drugging and transporting people against their will. But where are they taking them, and why? Jane's curiosity leads her into a nightmare worse than anything she could imagine. As law enforcement officers work to find who's behind the kidnappings and where the abductors have taken the victims, Jane fights to survive the monsters chasing her in the ultimate hunt.
