Book excerpt: The second installment in the extraordinary Cooper Devereaux mystery thriller series, which combines the atmosphere of James Lee Burke and Craig Johnson with the noir brilliance of Robert Crais An arsonist is targeting schools in Birmingham, Alabama—with devastating effect. Detective Devereaux—a man you can’t quite trust and should never ignore—must put a stop to the elusive pyromaniac’s reign of terror before more damage is done. Or worse, before students’ lives are lost. But as Devereaux sifts through the ashes of the case, a grisly discovery at a burned-out school sends the investigation spiraling in a new, terrifying direction. The detective and his partner are dragged into a nightmare world by revelations of gruesome rituals, the disappearance of local citizens, and allegations against city officials of shocking crimes that stretch back decades. With innocent lives on the line, progress is hampered by friction between the police department and the FBI, and interference from factions of the local underworld complicate matters further. Devereaux doesn’t make excuses for his willingness to work outside the lines, but just as he needs to be at the top of his game, he’s rocked by echoes from his troubled past that threaten to engulf his daughter and girlfriend—and fracture the life he’s only recently begun to rebuild. Praise for False Friend “The second installment starring [Detective Cooper] Devereaux is a suspenseful action-packed drama that is sure to please fans of the series and mystery/thriller lovers alike.

Download or read book Authorized written by Mark Ward and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The King James Version has shaped the church, our worship, and our mother tongue for over 400 years. But what should we do with it today? The KJV beautifully rendered the Scriptures into the language of turn-of-the-seventeenth-century England. Even today the King James is the most widely read Bible in the United States. The rich cadence of its Elizabethan English is recognized even by non-Christians. But English has changed a great deal over the last 400 years—and in subtle ways that very few modern readers will recognize. In Authorized Mark L. Ward, Jr. shows what exclusive readers of the KJV are missing as they read God's word.#In their introduction to the King James Bible, the translators tell us that Christians must "heare CHRIST speaking unto them in their mother tongue." In Authorized Mark Ward builds a case for the KJV translators' view that English Bible translations should be readable by what they called "the very vulgar"—and what we would call "the man on the street."

Book Synopsis Friendship, Robots, and Social Media by : Alexis M. Elder
Download or read book Friendship, Robots, and Social Media written by Alexis M. Elder and published by Routledge Research in Applied Ethics. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various emerging technologies, from social robotics to social media, appeal to our desire for social interactions, while avoiding some of the risks and costs of face-to-face human interaction. But can they offer us real friendship? In this book, Alexis Elder outlines a theory of friendship drawing on Aristotle and contemporary work on social ontology, and then uses it to evaluate the real value of social robotics and emerging social technologies. In the first part of the book Elder develops a robust and rigorous ontology of friendship: what it is, how it functions, what harms it, and how it relates to familiar ethical and philosophical questions about character, value, and well-being. In Part II she applies this ontology to emerging trends in social robotics and human-robot interaction, including robotic companions for lonely seniors, therapeutic robots used to teach social skills to children on the autism spectrum, and companionate robots currently being developed for consumer markets. Elder articulates the moral hazards presented by these robots, while at the same time acknowledging their real and measurable benefits. In the final section she shifts her focus to connections between real people, especially those enabled by social media. Arguing against critics who have charged that these new communication technologies are weakening our social connections, Elder explores ways in which text messaging, video chats, Facebook, and Snapchat are enabling us to develop, sustain, and enrich our friendship in new and meaningful ways.

Download or read book False Friends written by Stephen Cain and published by Book*hug Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: False Friends is the first full-length poetry collection from Stephen Cain in more than ten years. In it, he takes inspiration from the linguistic term "false friends"--two words from different languages that appear to be related, but have fundamentally different meanings. In this book are poems both humourous and unforgiving that Cain uses to explore errors, misapprehensions, and mistranslations and offer insights into the "secret operations" hiding within everyday language. These poems spin punk with pastoral, comic book with lyric, the misunderstood with the obvious. And at its core, False Friends is a thought-provoking investigation of the power of poetry as political dicourse. Praise for False Friends "In False Friends, Cain revels in a play of sound and meaning, bouncing his narrative as a pinball across the field of language." --rob mclennan's blog

Book Synopsis The Friendship Quadrant by : Michael & Kassie Boyd
Download or read book The Friendship Quadrant written by Michael & Kassie Boyd and published by Friendship Quadrant Incorporated. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a difficult time with your friendships? Hard to recognize the difference between your true friends vs your fake ones? Not sure how to avoid the toxic and dangerous friends? Wanting to find ways to enhance and strengthen current friendships? Then this is the book for you...and your friends! You won't regret it. The Friendship Quadrant will be a tool you can use in all aspects of every relationship and it will be an effective resource your entire life. "As a family therapist, this is the first book I have read that focuses solely on the power and importance of friendship. The Friendship Quadrant provides a comprehensive toolkit for all ages to navigate the peaks and valleys of interpersonal relationships. I would recommend the Friendship Quadrant to any individual looking to improve, strengthen, and nurture positive friendships as well as parents hoping to guide their children in this same process." Lori B. Morton, MS, LPC Friendship Quadrant (FQ) teaches how to choose friends wisely and how to be a good friend. It utilizes a creative "quadrant model" to help people of all ages, but especially young people, to understand how to manage expectations in relation to their friends. With this new understanding, the readers become empowered as they quickly realize that their 'friend issues' are often not their fault. With this heightened awareness their self-image naturally improves. It's important, even vital, for people of all ages to have good friends. But as young people strive to "find their way in life" it becomes exponentially imperative for them to have good, reliable friends. Poor friend choices have had devastating effects on the lives of legions of young people who forfeited a bright future because of their "friends." By the time you finish reading this engaging book, you have learned the steps to becoming a good friend yourself so that you can attract and maintain, reliable "true blue" friends throughout your life. Friendship Quadrant will deliver to each reader a powerful and practical "life" tool that is easy to learn, retain and implement. In essence, it is a "compass" that will direct the individual to greater, more enriching friendships that will deliver immeasurable benefits. When taught in the middle school or high school environment FQ principles provide an "anti-bullying" message without ever saying the word "bully." This reality is a natural result of learning and accepting FQ principles. It's important to note, that while FQ utilizes a quadrant system to teach us to choose friends wisely, it is not a "labeling system" that forever banishes a person to a quadrant that falls "below the line" (explained in the book). Instead, the book encourages the reader to embrace those that don't meet the standard of a "good" friend. It then teaches the reader meaningful guidelines that will insulate them from the negative influences these friends may have on them. In doing so, they don't become a victim during the process of providing a positive example. We believe firmly that Friendship Quadrant will have a positive impact on the lives of every person that reads it, and in some cases, it will "redirect" an individual away from a path that is leading them to misery. As the famous quote goes, "Show me your friends and I will show you your future!"

Book Synopsis Pragmatic Markers and Pragmaticalization by : Peter Lauwers
Download or read book Pragmatic Markers and Pragmaticalization written by Peter Lauwers and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we investigate the evolution from imperatives to discourse markers in Romance, with a corpus-based approach. We focus on the case of items coming from verbs meaning 'to look', in a semasiological perspective: Spanish and Catalan mira, Portuguese olha, Italian guarda, French regarde, Romanian uite. We show that they all share many uses, among which turn-taking, introduction of reported speech, hesitation phenomenon, topic-shifting and modalization, except for French regarde. We then establish (against Waltereit, 2002) that the development of these uses is the result of a process

In this detailed and rigorous study, the author provides a principled classification of neologisms, their semantic fields and the roles of source languages, along with a sociolinguistic study of the attitudes of 'purists' and ordinary native speakers in the tension between linguistic creativity and the preservation of a distinct language identity.

Download or read book Friendfluence written by Carlin Flora and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the unexpected ways friends influence our personalities, choices, emotions, and even physical health in this fun and compelling examination of friendship, based on the latest scientific research and ever-relatable anecdotes. Why is dinner with friends often more laughter filled and less fraught than a meal with family? Although some say it’s because we choose our friends, it’s also because we expect less of them than we do of relatives. While we’re busy scrutinizing our romantic relationships and family dramas, our friends are quietly but strongly influencing everything from the articles we read to our weight fluctuations, from our sex lives to our overall happiness levels. Evolutionary psychologists have long theorized that friendship has roots in our early dependence on others for survival. These days, we still cherish friends but tend to undervalue their role in our lives. However, the skills one needs to make good friends are among the very skills that lead to success in life, and scientific research has recently exploded with insights about the meaningful and enduring ways friendships influence us. With people marrying later—and often not at all—and more families having just one child, these relationships may be gaining in importance. The evidence even suggests that at times friends have a greater hand in our development and well-being than do our romantic partners and relatives. Friends see each other through the process of growing up, shape each other’s interests and outlooks, and, painful though it may be, expose each other’s rough edges. Childhood and adolescence, in particular, are marked by the need to create distance between oneself and one’s parents while forging a unique identity within a group of peers, but friends continue to influence us, in ways big and small, straight through old age. Perpetually busy parents who turn to friends—for intellectual stimulation, emotional support, and a good dose of merriment—find a perfect outlet to relieve the pressures of raising children. In the office setting, talking to a friend for just a few minutes can temporarily boost one’s memory. While we romanticize the idea of the lone genius, friendship often spurs creativity in the arts and sciences. And in recent studies, having close friends was found to reduce a person’s risk of death from breast cancer and coronary disease, while having a spouse was not. Friendfluence surveys online-only pals, friend breakups, the power of social networks, envy, peer pressure, the dark side of amicable ties, and many other varieties of friendship. Told with warmth, scientific rigor, and a dash of humor, Friendfluence not only illuminates and interprets the science but draws on clinical psychology and philosophy to help readers evaluate and navigate their own important friendships.
