Описание: The boundary between semantics and pragmatics has been important since the early twentieth century, but in the last twenty-five years it has become the central issue in the philosophy of language. This anthology collects classic philosophical papers on the topic, along with recent key contributions. It stresses not only the nature of the boundary, but also its importance for philosophy generally.
Описание: This book examines the impending Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami from a communications perspective, using similar experiences of natural disaster preparedness and outcomes as case studies. It is an interdisciplinary consideration of how communities communicate and make sense of natural disasters.
Описание: The humorous and touching memoir of a woman who's been seeking relief from a headache for more than two years. Jennette Fulda was riding high on the success of her first book, Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir, until one fateful day in February 2008, when she developed a headache--and it never went away. So she dealt with it the best way she knows how: by writing about it. And eating lots of chocolate. In Chocolate and Vicodin, Jennette explores her change of identity from "the girl who lost hundreds of pounds" to "the girl who lives with constant pain," and all she's had to endure to try and make the pain stop--from a bevy of expensive, time-consuming tests, which have taught her interesting facts (for example, that an MRI does indeed cost more than a European vacation--and doesn't last nearly as long), to tons of medications prescribed by her doctors to hilarious, sometimes insane advice she's received from her blog readers. While nothing's been able to grant her relief, she has gained a new perspective. Instead of dwelling on the "invisible tiara of nails" she may very well wear for the rest of her life, she's instead learned how to live with the pain, sharing with readers not only how she's managed to get by, but to laugh--and thrive--in spite of it.

Описание: "Throughout Dorine Jennette's Urchin to Follow, we hear the clatter and bustle and boisterous music of a kind of poetic mad scientist, a writer examining the things of this world, curious to fasten together any number of them and see what happens. The result is a deeply persuasive poetry, formally various, joyful and wary, funny and true-poetry that is busy desiring what is doubted, doubting what is desired, reconstructing the deconstructed, putting the paddles to the lyric's stopped heart to make it sing again." - Chris Forhan "These poems leap off the page through sheer energy born out of the scope of the author's imagination, as in her title poem, where words leap and bound: 'The urchin / a communal singularity, a solipsistic whole / whose diversified nerves dream the whole story . . .' The whole book exudes a love of language and a playful intelligence, reminiscent of the work of William Matthews and Heather McHugh, both masters of syntactical twists and startling turns of phrase. Dorine Jennette's poems have the ability to take us out of ourselves, rendering the ordinary world intricate and interesting again: 'Goose on the mailbox, onion under stool, / no chowder can come of this, // and so many irons in the fire! / A good landing is one you walk away from.' With this extraordinary first book, Jennette has made a good landing indeed." - Judith Ortiz Cofer "What if Dorothy Parker had been interested in biology? What if Heather McHugh had taken up rock climbing? These are the questions we begin asking as we enter Dorine Jennette's funny, sly poetic world, inhabited by 'bulge-eyed denizens' and speakers who want to 'make sweetness in the broom closet.' With humor and a searing intelligence, Jennette presents us with her subjects: the natural world and the postmodern condition. If, as Jennette says, the body is 'a bureaucrat commanding a war, ' the poems in this collection command a fiesta: a jazzy musical party, stippled with bats, trees, and insects. Each poem is a linguistic piсata that rains its sweet candy down onto the grass at our feet." - Connie Voisine

Описание:
Not understanding one's real value can be catastrophic, especially in children. Tiny the Eaglet had forgotten who he really was; desperate and lost, he assimilated to the only animals that were nice to him when he had no one else--the chickens. Tiny starts acting like the chickens--pecking like them, clucking like them, and never dares to fly. He really believed to be a chicken, even though he looked quite different to them and had dreams about flying every night. It is not until his friend Jonathan sees the resemblance between Tiny and an eagle that he realizes that Tiny was meant for greater things than just a chicken coop. But the lying serpent wants to make Tiny believe that she is stronger than him and that she will devour him. It is up to Tiny to believe and remember who he truly is and how powerful he was created to be. Like Tiny, many have forgotten who they really are. The enemy lies and makes people believe they are common people; but common, they are not. Humans were created for great things--sons and daughters of an almighty king, the creator and ruler of the universe. They are called to walk with heads high up and always remembering they are royalty. It is important that the children understand this truth at a very young age, and one must help them comprehend that they, just like Tiny, were created for mightier and greater things. Embark on an empowering journey of self-discovery and take back your title away from that lying serpent.
