Описание: As her condition continued to deteriorate, doctors were no help. I finally had to place her in a full time care facility.A forty year marriage shattered in less than twenty four hours. Brenda was declared to have suffered a permanent brain injury - cause, "Unknown." How do you cope? How do you stay sane? How do you keep your faith? This is a story of love, hope, and that crazy relationship between a man and a women. This is that story as originally told in random nightly blogs intended to inform friends and family of my wife's progress and relapses. It ended up being my way of answering all those very questions...and more. I wrote, not just about the reality of the situation but even more so; the reality of love and marriage, and women and the strange and wonderful relationships created in and between this assemblage. I wrote to stay sane. This is Brenda's story along with a meandering and often humorous tale of that crazy relationship we call love and marriage. Then one day, one Doctor did help... This story does have a happy ending.

Описание:
An in-depth archaeological report featuring graffiti found during a recent excavation at the Ancient Greek city of Smyrna.
The graffiti published in this richly-illustrated volume were discovered during an excavation of the Roman basilica in the Ancient Greek city of Smyrna, known today as Izmir, which is situated on the Aegean coast of modern Turkey. The project, which began in 2003, has unearthed a multitude of graffiti and drawings encompassing a wide range of subjects and interests, including local politics, nautical vessels, sex, and wordplay.
Each graffito artifact holds the potential for vast historical and cultural data, rescued in this volume from the passage of time and razing ambitions of urban development. Given the city's history, the potential wealth of knowledge to be gleamed from these discoveries is substantial: Smyrna has an uninterrupted history of settlement since the Neolithic-Copper ages, and remains today a major city and Mediterranean seaport at the crossroads of key trade routes.
The present volume provides comprehensive editions of the texts, descriptions of the drawings, and an extensive introduction to the subjects of the graffiti, how they were produced, and who was responsible for them. A complete set of color photographs is included.

Описание: This innovative, humorous writing book from grammar-snobhating June Casagrande shows students and professionals alike how to craft bold, effective, reader-friendly sentences, one after another. This feisty guide goes beyond punctuation or grammatical correctness to focus on constructing effective, "reader-serving" sentences. Only by paying attention to writing's unit of meaning--the sentence--will writers be able to create memorable prose. The subject of improving one's writing at the sentence level is broad enough to appeal to a wide range of writers, yet specific enough to distinguish itself amid the many writing guides on the market. The author's spunky style and authoritative writing and grammar platform make her a writers' writer. With chapters on "Conjunctions that Kill" and "Words Gone Wild," this little guide is the perfect gift for the cheeky wordsmith in your life.
