Download or read book Spanish Vocabulary written by David Brodsky and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other vocabulary guides that require the rote memorization of literally thousands of words, this book starts from the premise that using the etymological connections between Spanish and English words—their common derivations from Latin, Greek, and other languages—is the most effective way to acquire and remember vocabulary. This approach is suitable for beginners as well as for advanced students. Teachers of the language will also find much material that can be used to help motivate their students to acquire, and retain, Spanish vocabulary. Spanish Vocabulary is divided into four parts and four annexes: Part I provides background material on the origins of Spanish and begins the process of presenting Spanish vocabulary. Part II presents "classical" Spanish vocabulary—words whose form (in both Spanish and English) is nearly unchanged from Latin and Greek. Part III deals with "popular" Spanish vocabulary, which underwent significant changes in form (and often meaning) during the evolution from Latin to Spanish. A number of linguistic patterns are identified that will help learners recognize and remember new vocabulary. Part IV treats a wide range of themes, including words of Germanic and Arabic origin, numbers, time, food and animals, the family, the body, and politics. Annex A: Principal exceptions to the "Simplified Gender Rule" Annex B: 700 words whose relations, if any, to English words are not immediately obvious Annex C: -cer verbs and related words Annex D: 4,500 additional words, either individually or in groups, with English correspondences

Book excerpt: En diversos documentales que han circulado por los medios informativos e inclusive en la Internet, el 2012 aparece el año del Juicio Final o el "Hunab-Ku", según las profecías de los mayas, mencionado que la raza humana y nuestro planeta sufrirán una catástrofe de proporciones inimaginables. Estos hechos se ven vinculados a un fenómeno cósmico que ocurre cada 25, 800 años y que tendrá lugar en el solsticio de invierno del 2012, cuando la Tierra se encuentre alineada con el Sol y el centro de nuestra galaxia, la vía Láctea, donde existe un agujero negro ocasionando alteraciones en el manto terrestre y por consiguiente, en la superficie de nuestro planeta. A raíz de estos augurios que vaticinan un peligro inminente a la Tierra y a sus pobladores, los protagonistas de esta increíble aventura, se hacen a la tarea de iniciar una investigación científica que les proporcionara una información más exacta de la realidad, del peligro que estaba a punto de desatarse, y esto era a la vuelta de la esquina ya que, de ocurrir esta catástrofe, ocurriría en tan solo dos años. El resultado de dicha investigación hace que uno de ellos exponga una hipótesis aterradora y descabellada, la "supe-marea del manto terrestre" ejercida por las fuerzas gravitacionales del Sol y el agujero negro. Con la ayuda de dos geofísicos estadounidenses emprenden una odisea que inicia con la búsqueda de un lugar seguro y la creación de un refugio que pueda contener los embates apocalípticos de dicho efecto gravitacional cósmico. Sin embargo, los eventos dan inicio mucho antes de lo esperado por lo que se ven obligados a adelantar sus planes de huída y de sobrevivencia, viéndose envueltos en una serie de controversias ante las decisiones que tienen que tomar con respecto a cuántos y quiénes debían acudir a San Pedro y lo que tenían que llevar consigo. "Todo lo que inicia tiene un fin". Desde que el ser humano existe, y de acuerdo con la historia que nos habla de Oráculos y profetas, siempre ha esperado con temor el día en que llegue éste final. ¿Ficción o una realidad? ¿El año 2012 pondrá fin a la existencia del ser humano sobre la faz de la Tierra? ¿Podrá soportar nuestro planeta, y nosotros mismo, seremos capaces de sobrevivir a esta devastadora ecuación cósmica? Hugo Enrique Reyes Devesa

Download or read book A Hundred Reasons Why Evolution Is True written by Science-Based Language Learning Lab and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series Welcome to an innovative approach to language learning! This series of books is crafted to help you master a new language (Spanish) through engaging with topics that captivate your interest. Each book is centered around a theme–whether it's art, science, history, or another subject–and presents 100 carefully selected reasons relating to a topic, each a gem of knowledge in both English and the target language. Here's how our unique format works: each reason is introduced in the target language where you do your best to interpret the reason. On the next page, the reason is shown in English, and then repeated in the target language where you can start making sense of any unfamiliar terms. This method is not only repetitive to aid memorization but also concise, ensuring that learning is streamlined with no excess verbiage. The second half of the book presents the content in English, then in the target language, and finally in English again, giving you the chance to translate in both directions and demonstrate true mastery of the material. The benefits of this approach are manifold: - Concise Learning: By focusing on simple, one-sentence reasons, the learning process is distilled to its essence. This conciseness ensures that every word you learn is impactful and directly related to your interests, making the information easier to remember. - Reinforcement of Learning: Alternating between English and the target language with each reason helps reinforce your new vocabulary and grammatical structures naturally. It bridges the gap between the two languages, solidifying your learning through constant, practical application. - Contextual and Engaged Learning: Associating each new word with a reason related to a topic you are passionate about not only makes the vocabulary stickier but also keeps your learning process dynamic and engaging. This method not only teaches you a new language but does so through the lens of your personal passions. - Dual Knowledge Acquisition: As you navigate through these hundred reasons, you're not just learning a new language; you're also deepening your knowledge about a specific subject. This dual focus not only enhances the language learning experience but also enriches your understanding of your chosen topic. Designed for learners who thrive on clear, targeted information, this series promises a learning experience that is both educational and enjoyable. Whether you're a curious beginner or looking to broaden your linguistic skills, these books are tailored to make your educational journey as effective and engaging as possible. Embrace this journey of a hundred reasons, and let your passions fuel your progress in mastering a new language!

Download or read book Global Change and Regional Impacts written by Thomas Gaiser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global climatic change will most likely affect natural resources and human living conditions in semiarid regions. This volume presents disciplinary as well as integrative methods to assess these impacts considering the interactions between climate variability and change, water availability, land-use systems, and quality of life. Taking the semiarid northeastern area of Brazil as an example, a wide range of expertise and knowledge (from integrated water analyses to transregional migration) is necessary to understand the complex relationship between natural and socio-economic systems. Tools to integrate this knowledge and make it available for the strategic planning of sustainable development are described. This book is a summary of the main research results and the presentations given at the final conference of the WAVES Program on June 25-26 2001 in Fortaleza (Brazil). From the reviews: "This book focuses on results from a joint German-Brazilian program (Water Availability and Vulnerability of Ecosystems and Society, or WAVES) to assess the socioeconomic impacts that global change will have on northeast Brazil. This book, divided into eight parts, describes the many factors that should be included in developing scenarios for future planning purposes. The book provides useful information concerning the complex multidisciplinary task of developing scenarios that can aid decision makers in formulating plans for sustainable development in an area that is highly vulnerable to climate variability and change. For someone who is unfamiliar with the semiarid northeast Brazil region, the book provides considerable useful background information." (Vernon E. Kousky, BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEORLOGICAL SOCIETY, December 2004)

Download or read book The Bohemian South written by Shawn Chandler Bingham and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the southern influence on nineteenth-century New York to the musical legacy of late-twentieth-century Athens, Georgia, to the cutting-edge cuisines of twenty-first-century Asheville, North Carolina, the bohemian South has long contested traditional views of the region. Yet, even as the fruits of this creative South have famously been celebrated, exported, and expropriated, the region long was labeled a cultural backwater. This timely and illuminating collection uses bohemia as a novel lens for reconsidering more traditional views of the South. Exploring wide-ranging locales, such as Athens, Austin, Black Mountain College, Knoxville, Memphis, New Orleans, and North Carolina's Research Triangle, each essay challenges popular interpretations of the South, while highlighting important bohemian sub- and countercultures. The Bohemian South provides an important perspective in the New South as an epicenter for progress, innovation, and experimentation. Contributors include Scott Barretta, Shawn Chandler Bingham, Jaime Cantrell, Jon Horne Carter, Alex Sayf Cummings, Lindsey A. Freeman, Grace E. Hale, Joanna Levin, Joshua Long, Daniel S. Margolies, Chris Offutt, Zandria F. Robinson, Allen Shelton, Daniel Cross Turner, Zackary Vernon, and Edward Whitley.
