Download or read book Words A User s Guide written by Graham Pointon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words: A User's Guide is an accessible and invaluable reference that is ideal for students, business people and advanced learners of English. The book is structured in groups of words that may be confused because they sound alike, look alike or seem to have similar meanings, and this approach makes it much more intuitive and easy to use than a dictionary. Contrasting over 5000 words (such as habitable and inhabitable, precipitation and rainfall, reigns and reins), Words: a User’s Guide provides examples of usage adapted from large national databases of contemporary English, and illustrates each headword in typical contexts and phrases. This book gives you straightforward answers, and helps with pronunciation, spelling, style and levels of formality. For those working internationally it presents international standards and compares usage in Britain and the USA. Words: A User’s Guide is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to communicate well in written and spoken English. "At last! A book about the use of words that clarifies and de-mystifies in an eminently usable way. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to write well. It is a book to keep." Sandy Gilkes, Head of the Centre for Academic Practice, University of Northampton "Rigorous, fresh, intriguing and downright useful, it deserves a place on every properly stocked reference shelf." Brian Cathcart, Professor of Journalism, Kingston University "From the pedantic to the permissive, everyone who’s interested in the English language and the way we speak and write it will want a copy of this practical, entertaining book." Wynford Hicks (author of Quite Literally and The Basics of English Usage)

Download or read book God A User s Guide written by Sean Moncrieff and published by Poolbeg Press Ltd. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus spent decades in India. - Ethiopians, not Jews, are the real chosen people. - A religion in Iran predicted the Virgin Birth, hundreds of years before Christ. - Abraham was an Iraqi. - Lenin was a Saint. - Worms have souls. - There’s no such thing as the Holy Trinity. - All religions are the same. These are not conspiracy theories – but the genuine beliefs of the some of the world’s major religions. In God: A Users’ Guide, broadcaster Sean Moncrieff takes us through the history and development of the twenty largest religions in the world – in the process demonstrating that the truth is far more compelling than the fictional accounts. In the name of religion, millions have been killed, and millions have been saved. Political dynasties have been built on the back of religious belief, or been destroyed because of them. The history of religion is one of tyranny, betrayal, sacrifice, generosity and faith: where the same ‘facts’ have often brought believers to dramatically different conclusions. From religions which have a multiplicity of Gods, to religions which have no God at all, God: A Users’ Guide demonstrates how the vast majority of the world’s religions did not develop in isolation, but were influenced by already existing belief systems. We have far more in common than you might think.
Download or read book A User s Guide to Melancholy written by Mary Ann Lund and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A User's Guide to Melancholy takes Robert Burton's encyclopaedic masterpiece The Anatomy of Melancholy (first published in 1621) as a guide to one of the most perplexing, elusive, attractive, and afflicting diseases of the Renaissance. Burton's Anatomy is perhaps the largest, strangest, and most unwieldy self-help book ever written. Engaging with the rich cultural and literary framework of melancholy, this book traces its causes, symptoms, and cures through Burton's writing. Each chapter starts with a case study of melancholy - from the man who was afraid to urinate in case he drowned his town to the girl who purged a live eel - as a way into exploring the many facets of this mental affliction. A User's Guide to Melancholy presents in an accessible and illustrated format the colourful variety of Renaissance melancholy, and contributes to contemporary discussions about wellbeing by revealing the earlier history of mental health conditions.
Download or read book Men A User s Guide written by Kathy Lette and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why don't women tell jokes? Because we marry them. Devastatingly funny and more than a little outrageous, Kathy offers up advice (“if he wants breakfast in bed, tell him to sleep in the kitchen”), her inimitable insights into the battle of the sexes (“statistically, 100% of divorces begin with marriage”) and some scathing observations of the decidedly less fair sex (“all husbands think they're Gods. If only their wives weren't atheists”). Praise for Kathy Lette: 'Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better.' DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, THE GUILTY FEMINIST 'Deliciously rude and darkly funny, but with compassion and humanity at its heart. Read with relish.' NICOLE KIDMAN 'Kathy Lette can turn from raunchy farce to the most tender emotion in a trice.' STEPHEN FRY

Download or read book Silence A User s Guide Volume One written by Maggie Ross and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-09-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silence is essential for the health and well-being of humans and the environment in which they live. Yet silence has almost vanished from our lives and our world. Of all the books that claim to be about silence, this is the only one that addresses silence directly. Silence: A User's Guide is just what the title says: it is a guide to silence, which is both a vast interior spaciousness, and the condition of our being in the natural world. This book exposes the processes by which silence can transfigure our lives--what Maggie Ross calls "the work of silence"; it describes how lives steeped in silence can transfigure other lives unawares. It shows how the work of silence was once understood to be the foundation of the teaching of Jesus, and how this teaching was once an intrinsic part of Western Christianity; it describes some of the methods by which the institution suppressed the work of silence, and why religious institutions are afraid of silence. Above all, this book shows that the work of silence gives us a way of being in the world that is more than we can ask for or imagine.

Download or read book A User s Guide to the Brain written by John J. Ratey, M.D. and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2002-01-08 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Ratey, bestselling author and clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, lucidly explains the human brain’s workings, and paves the way for a better understanding of how the brain affects who we are. Ratey provides insight into the basic structure and chemistry of the brain, and demonstrates how its systems shape our perceptions, emotions, and behavior. By giving us a greater understanding of how the brain responds to the guidance of its user, he provides us with knowledge that can enable us to improve our lives. In A User’s Guide to the Brain, Ratey clearly and succinctly surveys what scientists now know about the brain and how we use it. He looks at the brain as a malleable organ capable of improvement and change, like any muscle, and examines the way specific motor functions might be applied to overcome neural disorders ranging from everyday shyness to autism. Drawing on examples from his practice and from everyday life, Ratey illustrates that the most important lesson we can learn about our brains is how to use them to their maximum potential.

Book excerpt: The report contains the description of the MAD/I language and user's guide for MAD/I in MTS (Michigan Terminal System). The pre-defined MAD/I language, described in the report, is a procedure-oriented algebraic language designed for general-purpose use. It is styled after such languages as ALGOL 60, MAD, and PL/I. MAD/I is also intended as a convenient 'base' language for extension by a definitional facility. The language anticipates the definition (or re-definition) of: data types and structures, statements, operators and operations. The definitional facility itself is not described. The user's guide shows how to compile and run MAD/I programs in MTS. Sample runs are included. There is also a description of a compiler feature which allows assembler code for the IBM 360 to be compiled within a MAD/I program.
