Don't Know Much About the Bible: Everything You Need to Know About the Good Book but Never Learned - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When I was in the sixth grade, a building was going upacross the street from my school. Like most ten- or eleven-year-old boys, I preferred watching bulldozers in actionand concrete being poured to whatever was being writtenon the blackboard. I spent a lot of sixth grade gazing out the window.I don’t think I learned anything that year.The redbrick structure I watched rising with such absorbed fascination was a church. Unlike the soaring Gothic cathedrals of Europeor the formidable fortress-like stone church my family attended, thiswas not a typical church. It was being built in the shape of a mightyboat. Presumably, it was Noah’s ark. Most of us have a mental pictureof Noah’s ark and we all think it looks like a cute tugboat with alittle house on top.Except that Noah’s ark didn’t look anything like that. You canlook it up yourself. Right there in Genesis, you’ll find God’s LittleInstruction Book, a set of divine plans for building an ark. Unfortunately, like most directions that come with bicycles or appliances,these are a little sketchy, providing little more than the rough dimensions of 300 by 50 by 30 cubits (or roughly 450 feet long, 75 feet wide,and 45 feet high). God told Noah to add a roof
English Language Learners (Issues That Concern You) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In Los Angeles, Chinatown is not just a tourist destinationfilled with Chinese restaurants, tailors, and specialty shops.Chinatown has spread east into the suburbs as Asian immi-grants have bought into the American dream of large homes,large yards, expensive cars, and owning their own businesses.Yet many of these immigrants feel as if they have never leftAsia. The populations of some suburbs in the valley east of LosAngeles have doubled since the early 1990s, and nearly two-thirds of the residents are Asian. Office and industrial parks areidentified by signs in Chinese. Some schools report that closeto 60 percent of their students are Asian. Mandarin is morelikely to be heard than English in retail stores. Hearing Manda-rin everywhere instead of English presents an unlikely problemfor some adult immigrants: They have no one with whom theycan practice speaking English.The same is true for immigrants from Mexico. Studies showthat Mexican immigrants tend to concentrate in specific areas,stop attending school earlier, and speak less English than otherimmigrants, although these rates do improve with subsequentgenerations. And now that Mexican immigrants are starting tosettle beyond their traditional gateway homes of California,Texas, Florida, and Illinois, spreading into mainstream America,more Americans are becoming uncomfortably aware of Mexicanimmigrants and their insular communities.Some Americans complain that although they are in theUnited States, it does not feel like it when they enter these im-migrant enclaves. Many, if not most, of the signs are in a foreignlanguage, as are most conversations. But these complaints havebeen heard since the first mass migrations to the United Statesin the first half of the nineteenth century. The Irish clusteredtogether in Boston, Italians in New York, Germans and Scandi-navians in the Midwest.
I'm OK, You're OK - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: "Happy childhood" notwithstanding, most of us are living out the NOT OK feelings of a defenseless CHILD wholly dependent on OK others for stroking and care. By the third year of life, says Dr. Harris, most of us have made the unconscious decision I'M NOT OK-YOU'RE OK. This negative Life Position, shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike, contaminates our rational ADULT potential -- leaving us vulnerable to the inappropriate, emotional reactions of our CHILD and the uncritically learned behavior programmed into our PARENT.In personal Transactions, NOT OK people resort to harmful withdrawal, rituals, activities, pastimes, and games for getting needed strokes while avoiding painful intimacy with people they see as OK.Dr. Thomas A. Harris's pioneering work in Transactional Analysis has had a fundamental impact on our understanding of interpersonal behavior. In showing us how to make the conscious decision I'M OK-YOU'RE OK, he has helped millions of despairing people find the freedom to change, to liberate their ADULT effectiveness, and to achieve joyful intimacy with the people in their lives.

Ten Things I Love About You (Bevelstoke, Book 3) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ―Annabel!‖Annabel snapped to attention. Louisa was addressing her with uncommon urgency, and she‘d dowell to listen.―Annabel, this is important,‖ Louisa said.Annabel nodded, and an unfamiliar feeling washed over her—maybe of gratitude, certainly oflove. She‘d only just got to know her cousin, but already there was a deep bond of affection, andshe knew that Louisa would do everything in her power to keep Annabel from making anunhappy alliance.Unfortunately, Louisa‘s power was, in this capacity, limited. And she did not—no, she couldnot—understand the pressures of being the eldest daughter of an impoverished family.―Listen to me,‖ Louisa implored. ―Lord Newbury‘s son died, oh, I think it must be a bit over ayear ago. And he started looking for a wife before his son was cold in his grave.‖―Shouldn‘t he have found one by now, then?‖Louisa shook her head. ―He almost married Mariel Willingham.‖―Who?‖ Annabel blinked, trying to place the name.―Exactly. You‘ve never heard of her. She died.‖Annabel felt her eyebrows rise. It was really a rather emotionless delivery of such tragic news.―Two days before the wedding she took a chill.‖―She died in only two days?‖ Annabel asked. It was a morbid question, but, well, she had toknow.―No. Lord Newbury insisted upon delaying the ceremony. He said it was for her welfare, thatshe was too ill to stand up in church, but everyone knew that he really just wanted to make sureshe was healthy enough to bear him a son.‖―And then?‖―Well, and then she did die. She lingered for about a fortnight. It was really very sad. She wasalways very kind to me.‖ Louisa gave her head a little shake, then continued. ―It was a near missfor Lord Newbury. If he‘d married her, he would have had to go into mourning. As it was, hehad already tried to wed scandalously soon after his son‘s death. If Miss Willingham hadn‘t diedbefore the wedding, he‘d have had another year of black.‖―How long did he wait before looking for someone else?‖ Annabel asked, dreading the answer.―Not more than two weeks. Honestly, I don‘t think he would have waited that long if he thoughthe could have got away with it.‖ Louisa looked about, her eyes falling on Annabel‘s sherry. ―Ineed some tea,‖ she said.
On Being Certain: Believing You Are Right Even When You're Not - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You recognize when you know something for certain, right? You "know" the sky is blue, or that the traffic light had turned green, or where you were on the morning of September 11, 2001--you know these things, well, because you just do.In On Being Certain, neurologist Robert Burton challenges the notions of how we think about what we know. He shows that the feeling of certainty we have when we "know" something comes from sources beyond our control and knowledge. In fact, certainty is a mental sensation, rather than evidence of fact. Because this "feeling of knowing" seems like confirmation of knowledge, we tend to think of it as a product of reason. But an increasing body of evidence suggests that feelings such as certainty stem from primitive areas of the brain, and are independent of active, conscious reflection and reasoning. The feeling of knowing happens to us; we cannot make it happen.Bringing together cutting edge neuroscience, experimental data, and fascinating anecdotes, Robert Burton explores the inconsistent and sometimes paradoxical relationship between our thoughts and what we actually know. Provocative and groundbreaking, On Being Certain, will challenge what you know (or think you know) about the mind, knowledge, and reason.
