Описание: The Global English Style Guide illustrates how much you can do to make written texts more suitable for a global audience. Accompanied by an abundance of clearly explained examples, the Global English guidelines show you how to write documentation that is optimized for non-native speakers of English, translators, and even machine-translation software, as well as for native speakers of English. You'll find dozens of guidelines that you won't find in any other source, along with thorough explanations of why each guideline is useful. Author John Kohl also includes revision strategies, as well as caveats that will help you avoid applying guidelines incorrectly.
Focusing primarily on sentence-level stylistic issues, problematic grammatical constructions, and terminology issues, this book addresses the following topics: ways to simplify your writing style and make it consistent; ambiguities that most writers and editors are not aware of, and how to eliminate those ambiguities; how to make your sentence structure more explicit so that your sentences are easier for native and non-native speakers to read and understand; punctuation and capitalization guidelines that improve readability and make translation more efficient; and how language technologies such as controlled-authoring software can facilitate the adoption of Global English as a corporate standard.
This text is intended for anyone who uses written English to communicate technical information to a global audience. Technical writers, technical editors, science writers, and training instructors are just a few of the professions for which this book is essential reading. Even if producing technical information is not your primary job function, the Global English guidelines can help you communicate more effectively with colleagues around the world.

Описание: A landmark global history that makes us rethink how the Cold War ended and our present era was born
This book offers a bold new interpretation of the revolutions of 1989, showing how a new world order was forged--without major conflict. Based on extensive archival research, Kristina Spohr attributes this in large measure to determined diplomacy by a handful of international leaders, who engaged in tough but cooperative negotiation to reinvent the institutions of the Cold War. She offers a major reappraisal of George H. W. Bush and innovative assessments of Mikhail Gorbachev and Helmut Kohl, as well as Margaret Thatcher and Fran ois Mitterrand. But, she argues, Europe's transformation must be understood in global context. By contrasting events in Berlin and Moscow with the brutal suppression of the pro-democracy movement in Beijing, the book reveals how Deng Xiaoping pushed through China's very different Communist reinvention. Here is an authoritative yet highly readable exploration of the crucial hinge years of 1989-1992 and their consequences for today's world.

Описание: Laura Johnston Kohl was a teen activist working to integrate public facilities in the Washington, D.C., area. She actively fought for civil rights and free speech, and against the Vietnam War throughout the 1960s. After trying to effect change single-handedly, she found she needed more hands. She joined Peoples Temple in 1970, living and working in the progressive religious movement in both California and Guyana. A fluke saved her from the mass murders and suicides on November 18, 1978, when 913 of her beloved friends died in Jonestown.
Soon after this, Synanon, a residential community, helped her gradually affirm life. In 1991, she got to work, finished her studies, and became a public school teacher. On the 20th anniversary of the deaths in Jonestown, she looked up fellow survivors of the Jonestown tragedy and they have worked to put the jigsaw puzzle together that was Peoples Temple. Her perspective has evolved as new facts have cleared up mysteries and she has had time to reflect. Her mission continues to be to acknowledge, write about, and speak about why the members joined Peoples Temple, why they went to Guyana, and who they were. She lives with her family in San Diego.

Описание:
The Veil of Darkness Drops...
In this riveting third installment of the epic adventure of the Quest of the Staff and the Sword Saga, Luke has destroyed his nemesis, the hooded man. Luke tightens his grip on his kingdom, while a division threatens to tear at the fabric of hope in Quoin Ataraxis. Millions of half-dead soldiers, whom Luke raised from the dead, ensure that Luke's power will grow, with seemingly no one to stop him. Luke entices his people to worship, celebrate, and serve him. But just as Luke's power seems unstoppable, a mysterious stranger steps out of the shadows, confounding Luke's plans. With his frustration growing, Luke journeys to search out allies in his battle against enemies of his kingdom. Luke retrieves thousands of scrolls and tablets, hidden in an ancient tower. These scrolls reveal dark secrets forgotten long ago. His castle rests upon the richest source of darkness, from which the darkest of weapons are forged. The scrolls reveal designs to build these dark weapons. With the help of these scrolls, Luke is able to summon warriors out of long-forgotten dark chasms, achieve powers of sorcery the world has never known, and establish his throne as Dark Lord in The Dark Kingdom.
Описание: Temples, shophouses, mansions, kongsis and gardens are unique architectural forms produced by generations of Chinese peoples living in locales as diverse as Singapore, San Francisco, Macao, Penang, Djakarta, Melbourne, and Amsterdam. Since the days of East India Companies, sojourning Chinese laborers and merchants have established themselves to create offshore communities in far-flung ports of Asia, North America, and The Pacific Rim.What are the common elements visible in the built environment of these settlers? What factors brought about the richly ornamented temples and clan houses? Why were commercial buildings in Malaya such a dominant part of the British colonial streetscape while a Spartan style materialized in the communities of the gold fields and railway cities of California? What cultural heritage from the Canton region is universally evident in the Chinatowns of Liverpool, Mexicali, and Sacramento? Why are Chinese gardens being built in Malta, Los Angeles, and Portland?Offshore Chinese Architecture gives insights to these questions utilizing illustrations of source buildings in China, through historic and geographic research, and the observations and insights of scholar, teacher, and traveler David G Kohl. Viewing buildings on three continents, he offers insights into styles, similarities, and trends while noting the distinctly different situations of the overseas Chinese in the nanyang (SE Asia) and gumshan (America and Australia).Profusely illustrated with historic and contemporary drawings. Structure, ornamentation, and symbolism are explained with diagrams, floor plans, elevations and historic woodcuts. Rare photos document construction stages of a Chinese garden. An illustrated field guide is included for use when visiting Chinatowns, religious buildings, and classical Chinese gardens.
