Download or read book August E. Niederhoff an Autobiography written by August E. Niederhoff and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peals from a Small Potato, the autobiography of August Evan Niederhoff is being published for the benefit of his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and future generations. When I reread his book, many years after it was written, I was intrigued by the fascinating life he had led. I think his story offers an example his descendants should know about and should share with their children. It is the story of a first-generation American, born early in the twentieth century, to a poor (by current standards) but stable and loving family and the successful life he attained through education, hard work, intellectual curiosity, persistence, and faith in the face of adversity; a compelling love of life; and a passion for travel. He was not a perfect human, as he is the first to declare, but he is an inspirational one. His story is told with humor and a wealth of personal detail that is amazing. All of his adult life, he kept a small diary of his daily activities, recorded his experiences with snapshots and 8 mm movies, wrote detailed letters to his wife and sister, and collected memorabilia from his adventures. These, along with his remarkable memory, provide ample documentation for his autobiography. The richness of these resources contributes to an understanding of the man and the times in which he lived.

Download or read book I Love Capitalism! written by Ken Langone and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Iconoclastic entrepreneur and New York legend Ken Langone tells the compelling story of how a poor boy from Long Island became one of America's most successful businessmen. Ken Langone has seen it all on his way to a net worth beyond his wildest dreams. A pillar of corporate America for decades, he's a co-founder of Home Depot, a former director of the New York Stock Exchange, and a world-class philanthropist (including $200 million for NYU's Langone Health). In this memoir he finally tells the story of his unlikely rise and controversial career. It's also a passionate defense of the American Dream -- of preserving a country in which any hungry kid can reach the maximum potential of his or her talents and work ethic. In a series of fascinating stories, Langone shows how he struggled to get an education, break into Wall Street, and scramble for an MBA at night while competing with privileged competitors by day. He shares how he learned how to evaluate what a business is worth and apply his street smarts to 8-figure and 9-figure deals . And he's not shy about discussing, for the first time, his epic legal and PR battle with former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer. His ultimate theme is that free enterprise is the key to giving everyone a leg up. As he writes: This book is my love song to capitalism. Capitalism works! And I'm living proof -- it works for everybody. Absolutely anybody is entitled to dream big, and absolutely everybody should dream big. I did. Show me where the silver spoon was in my mouth. I've got to argue profoundly and passionately: I'm the American Dream.
Book Synopsis Ambiguity in Charlotte Brontë's Villette by : Olga Springer
Download or read book Ambiguity in Charlotte Brontë's Villette written by Olga Springer and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlotte Brontë's final novel Villette (1853) is associated with ambiguity because of its open ending: Does M. Paul return to narrator-protagonist Lucy Snowe or is he killed in a storm raging on the Atlantic? Taking its famous ending as a starting point, this study explores Villette as a text in which ambiguity is all-pervasive in various ways. Among these is the narrator's ambivalent attitude toward herself and others, epitomised in her stylistic idiosyncrasies. The links between ambiguity and doubt are explored through an analysis of Lucy's signature phrase, "I know not," expressive of her existential doubts and questioning attitude toward the world. The analysis moreover focuses on the motif of the oracle as a traditionally ambiguous utterance, and explores its relevance in the context of the generic tradition of Villette as a fictional autobiography. Another focus is the interplay of figurative and literal levels of meaning in the allegorical episodes, creating ambiguity.

Book Synopsis A Corpus Linguistic Approach to Literary Language and Characterization by : Giuseppina Balossi
Download or read book A Corpus Linguistic Approach to Literary Language and Characterization written by Giuseppina Balossi and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focusses on computer methodologies as a way of investigating language and character in literary texts. Both theoretical and practical, it surveys investigations into characterization in literary linguistics and personality in social psychology, before carrying out a computational analysis of Virginia Woolf's experimental novel The Waves. Frequencies of grammatical and semantic categories in the language of the six speaking characters are analyzed using Wmatrix software developed by UCREL at Lancaster University. The quantitative analysis is supplemented by a qualitative analysis into recurring patterns of metaphor. The author concludes that these analyses successfully differentiate all six characters, both synchronically and diachronically, and claims that this methodology is also applicable to the study of personality in non-literary language. The book, written in a clear and accessible style, will be of interest to post-graduate students and academics in linguistics, stylistics, literary studies, psychology and also computational approaches.

Book Synopsis Deceiving (dis)appearances by : Harlan Koff
Download or read book Deceiving (dis)appearances written by Harlan Koff and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of recent shifts in global geopolitics and economic markets has led to the re-conceptualization of national borders. Scholars have shifted their analysis away from the narrow idea of «borders», and moved their attention towards the wider view of «borderlands», «border regions», and «border zones», thus, leading to the conceptual re-definition of border politics. These recent approaches have identified border areas as socially constructed territories that demonstrate many of the characteristics of independent polities. Border communities seem to have come to life, creating a degree of autonomy and separation from central state actors. While the rich literature in border studies identifies important changes in local political and economic systems, it does not necessarily identify the mechanisms that create these changes: Why has integration occurred in some border regions while others are being reinforced? Why has integration failed in some cases where opportunity structures are positive, while it has succeeded in others saddled with more limited constraints? The essays in this volume address such fundamental questions.
