Book Description
Betram Grey's Second Notebook By: Kevin Garrett A guard, in a world of perfect people, stands watch over one imperfect man, imprisoned in a steel cage, but is his prisoner a Monster who wants to destroy the world, or is he a Savior who wants to keep the world from destroying itself with too much kindness? Is it possible that the game of chess was meant not as a contest of war between its opponents, but instead, as a game of peace, designed to promote happiness and joy between the participants of the game? Is there baseball in Heaven, and if there is, are the rules still the same? A man envies a robot for its immortality and its beautiful design, and a robot envies a man for being what he is, doomed to the certainty of death and decay, and yet imbued with a hope for something more. The entire adult population of the Earth awakens one day to find that they have all become millionaires. The money is real enough, but as they soon discover, it is sometimes a good idea to “look a gift horse” squarely in the mouth before accepting it. In this second companion novel to To The Faithless and The Unbelieving BERTRAM GREY, Kevin Garrett resurrects the second spiral notebook of short stories that Bertram Grey burned in his uncle’s fireplace, and offers a conclusion to the story of Bertram Grey and his Uncle Jacob.

Book Description
The forms taken by scientific writing help to determine the very nature of science itself. In this closely reasoned study, Charles Bazerman views the changing forms of scientific writing as solutions to rhetorical problems faced by scientists arguing for their findings. Examining such works as the early Philosophical Transactions and Newton's optical writings as well as Physical Review, Bazerman views the changing forms of scientific writing as solutions to rhetorical problems faced by scientists. The rhetoric of science is, Bazerman demonstrates, an embedded part of scientific activity that interacts with other parts of scientific activity, including social structure and empirical experience. This book presents a comprehensive historical account of the rise and development of the genre, and views these forms in relation to empirical experience.

Book Description
The fullest, most textural, most accurate—most human—account of Oscar Wilde's unique and dazzling life—based on extensive new research and newly discovered materials, from Wilde's personal letters and transcripts of his first trial to newly uncovered papers of his early romantic (and dangerous) escapades and the two-year prison term that shattered his soul and his life. "Simply the best modern biography of Wilde." —Evening Standard Drawing on material that has come to light in the past thirty years, including newly discovered letters, documents, first draft notebooks, and the full transcript of the libel trial, Matthew Sturgis meticulously portrays the key events and influences that shaped Oscar Wilde's life, returning the man "to his times, and to the facts," giving us Wilde's own experience as he experienced it. Here, fully and richly portrayed, is Wilde's Irish childhood; a dreamy, aloof boy; a stellar classicist at boarding school; a born entertainer with a talent for comedy and a need for an audience; his years at Oxford, a brilliant undergraduate punctuated by his reckless disregard for authority . . . his arrival in London, in 1878, "already noticeable everywhere" . . . his ten-year marriage to Constance Lloyd, the father of two boys; Constance unwittingly welcoming young men into the household who became Oscar's lovers, and dying in exile at the age of thirty-nine . . . Wilde's development as a playwright. . . becoming the high priest of the aesthetic movement; his successes . . . his celebrity. . . and in later years, his irresistible pull toward another—double—life, in flagrant defiance and disregard of England's strict sodomy laws ("the blackmailer's charter"); the tragic story of his fall that sent him to prison for two years at hard labor, destroying his life and shattering his soul.

Book Description
Millions of years ago, a massive column of magma reached the base of the crust under the Oregon/Idaho/Nevada tri-state area and thus began one of the greatest terrestrial eruptive events the world has ever seen. As the North American continent continues to drift over the fiery source, the path of destruction has shifted eastward to a point under the Yellowstone National Park where geysers and other thermal features bubble up from the cracks and depressions, as the pressure beneath continues to grow to the next cataclysmic crescendo. In Thermia: Dawn of Armageddon, L.P. Growney has created a fictional society in which geophysics professor Ben Nickolas attempts attempts to determine the cause of the increase in unusual geological activity while anthropologist Dr. Karin McDonald endeavors to interpret symbols left by their ancient ancestors in an effort to demystify the Creation Myth. As their paths cross they will come closer to discovering the answer to a terrible secret that will, ultimately, result in the destruction of Thermia.

Book Description
This new edition of Understanding Morphology has been fully revised in line with the latest research. It now includes 'big picture' questions to highlight central themes in morphology, as well as research exercises for each chapter. Understanding Morphology presents an introduction to the study of word structure that starts at the very beginning. Assuming no knowledge of the field of morphology on the part of the reader, the book presents a broad range of morphological phenomena from a wide variety of languages. Starting with the core areas of inflection and derivation, the book presents the interfaces between morphology and syntax and between morphology and phonology. The synchronic study of word structure is covered, as are the phenomena of diachronic change, such as analogy and grammaticalization. Theories are presented clearly in accessible language with the main purpose of shedding light on the data, rather than as a goal in themselves. The authors consistently draw on the best research available, thus utilizing and discussing both functionalist and generative theoretical approaches. Each chapter includes a summary, suggestions for further reading, and exercises. As such this is the ideal book for both beginning students of linguistics, or anyone in a related discipline looking for a first introduction to morphology.
