Information Structure and Language Change: New Approaches to Word Order Variation in Germanic (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The book addresses one of the most prominent and widely discussed topics in diachronic syntax, namely, word order variation and change in older Germanic. It presents a novel approach that explains these issues not in terms of parameters and parameter change or in terms of competition between two grammars, but in terms of competition between information-structurally marked and unmarked forms within one grammar.

Make Money Work For YouInstead of You Working for It: Lessons from a Portfolio Manager - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: f you picked up this book looking for information on financialplanning, then put it down and find another one. This is not a bookon financial planning. Instead, this book tells how you can:• Accumulate wealth through investing.• Be your own research analyst and portfolio manager.• Create and manage your own investment portfolio to reachyour own personal financial goals.I’m not a financial planner, nor am I a stockbroker. I am what iscalled in the financial services industry a portfolio manager, I man-age—and that means I make the investment decisions for—both in-dividual and institutional money in a variety of investment portfoliosfor my firm’s clientele. I have experience managing traditional in-vestments (such as stocks and bonds) and also alternative invest-ments (such as hedge funds). But, even more importantly, I am alsoan individual investor like you. I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon inmy mouth nor did I ever receive any type of large inheritance. I amtelling you this about myself because I want you to know that you, asan individual investor, can build a substantial investment portfolio byfollowing the ideas laid out in this book.Each day normally thoughtful and conservative people throwcaution (and their hard-earned money) to the wind when they heara stock tip that is nothing more than rumor. Others, for fear of mak-ing a mistake, keep their money invested in mediocre stocks and mu-tual funds simply because they don’t know what to do or whoseadvice to trust. Many others feel they need large sums of money be-fore they can begin to invest in stocks or anything else. I’m an advo-cate of stocks and the financial markets, and I will show you how toinvest in the stock market and buy a stock even if you have only $20.Don’t believe me? Keep reading
DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS OF WORLD WAR II - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This is not a history of World War II , but revelations about many of thelesser-known details. Because it is a book of facts, you don't read itfrom beginning to end, but rather you jump in wherever it strikes yourfancy. There are over three hundred separate items, each a completestory in itself.As a rule, much of the information found in one section of the bookwill usually also be applicable to the others as well. After all, althoughaircraft carriers are inseparably associated with the Pacific war, theyalso performed yeoman service in the Atlantic and Mediterranean,while the problems of troop transport transcended theater.After reading this book, you'll never look at World War II the sameway again. We have not changed the story of that conflict; we areproviding information about it that is not generally known. We oftenlook at the same subject from several different angles, giving you abetter appreciation of, for example, how a blitzkrieg was conducted,what it took to supply partisans, and why the U.S. Army had moreships than the U.S. Navy.World War II was the most enormous human drama in history. Noone volume could ever really come close to examining all of theunusual, and often important, aspects of this, history's greatest war. Somuch has had to be left out, from the drama of Dunkirk to the U.S.Navy's coal-burning, paddle-wheel aircraft carriers on the Great Lakes;from the Marine Corps's Navaho communications specialists to the12 INTRODUCTIONJapanese Navy's "American" pilots; not to mention the improbableadventures of FDR's son, the extraordinary antiarmor tactics of theFinns, and the secret missions of Harry Hopkins. Also left out are manyinteresting items from the "secondary" theaters such as China, Burma,Finland, and the Middle East. Moreover, the end of the Cold War hasthrown open the Soviet World War II archives. Much fascinating ma-terial is coming out. We were shown a volume (in Russian) of some ofthe newly revealed material already being published in Russia andrealized that we could have added several dozen pages of previouslyunknown goodies for this book from that one Russian volume alone.Well, if we sell enough copies of this book, there may be more. Wecertainly have enough to fill several more volumes.This book undoubtedly displays an "American" bias. This is nat-ural, given the audience. Without much difficulty the authors couldproduce a book of similar length with a "British" or "German" or"Chinese" bias which, while being somewhat repetitive, would stillmanage to include a lot of unusual and interesting material. World War II was the most enormous human drama in history, and there is farmore to be told about it than can possibly be included between thecovers of a single book.
Building an Electronic Disease Register: Getting the Computer to Work for You (Primary Care Health Informatics) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This book has two aims. The first is to demonstrate that computers can work foryou and not the other way around. No, please don't laugh ... it really is possible.Computers can play a major role in improving patient health and patient care.However, in order to achieve this, it is necessary to do a number of things:• computerise patient records• implement systems to process those records in accordance with best knownpractice and available evidence• change working practices and procedures• train staff to give them new skills• manage the process of change.Thus the second aim of the book is to show how to do these things in practice. Weshall use the example of an electronic coronary heart disease register (CHD) toshow how this may be achieved.We shall draw upon a case study from a local primary care group (PCG) wherewe shall consider the implementation in two practices, with different proprietarygeneral practice systems. We shall consider the example from the perspective of aGP and a practice manager.

Libraries, the First Amendment, and Cyberspace: What You Need to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Too often misinformation about free speech is circulated as if it wereauthoritative. The final straw for me and the inspiration for thisbook was a panel discussion at a state library association convention.There, as a member of the audience, I was treated to a confidently ren-dered but distorted description of First Amendment law as it applies topublic libraries. As a legal matter, the speaker said, obscenity is some-thing you know when you see it. This was decidedly wrong as a state-ment of the law, and I was unable to await my own scheduled talk laterthat day. I stood up during the question period and explained what theU.S. Supreme Court had actually said about obscenity and how theConstitution requires substantial procedural safeguards to be followedbefore a librarian may adjudge material obscene and take the matter tocourt. In defense, the panelist, a nonlawyer, justified her statements asbased on what her city attorney had told her.Of course, few city attorneys have much experience with FirstAmendment law. Their loyalties may not run to civil liberties as much asto whatever powers hold sway locally. In such instances, libraries arestuck with advice that has a more political than legal basis. For toomany who provide that advice, the need to avoid controversy over-whelms fidelity to the law. Such political considerations, however,should not be part of the constitutional calculus—for the reasons toknuckle under to would-be censors are infinite and can only expandwith each new concession. The result of such a standard operating pro-cedure would then be an abandonment of the library’s very purpose andmission: to assist in the diffusion of knowledge.vI N T R O D U C T I O NNeither ignorance of the law nor frustration over its complexity oughtto deter compliance with the principles it sets out. Even though the law isfilled with subtle touchstones, guidelines, and three-part tests that courtshave difficulty applying, there are some basic and unimpeachable tenetsthat all can understand and act upon. Librarians and library policymak-ers, dedicated as they are to providing access to information, need an ac-curate basis upon which to base intelligent and legally appropriatepolicies about Internet access, as well as the other issues that librariesoften face. This book aims to provide that foundation.The development of constitutionally informed policies can ease someof the conflict that is bound to arise. To be sure, it will not end that con-flict because speech, the written word, and pictures have an unquench-able capacity to generate controversy. It is almost a guarantee thatwhatever policies are eventually adopted will still be matters of greatcontention, activating factions who object to the materials thus madeavailable or unavailable to the community. It is indisputable that li-braries have become the front lines in modern free-speech wars. Still, awell-conceived policy can absorb some of the pain that accompaniesthat unfortunate reality and make all the difference in the litigation thatmay well follow.The role of libraries at the center in the battle over the nation’s intel-lectual freedoms is a familiar and long-running one. Almost from themoment of inception for public libraries, vociferous debates have en-sued about material that someone or another has deemed inappropriatefor shelving. One of the most enduring controversies over a book in theUnited States has been over Mark Twain’s Adventures of HuckleberryFinn. As far back as 1885, the Concord, Massachusetts, Public Librarybanished the now-classic book as “the veriest trash” and “more suitedto the slums than to intelligent, respectable people.” 1 The book remainsenormously controversial to this day.As recently as October 19, 1998, the U.S. Court of Appeals for theNinth Circuit was forced to rule on yet another attempt to remove thatbook—this time from a mandatory high-school freshman reading list inTempe, Arizona. The court concluded that assignment of the book didnot violate the constitutional right to equal protection of the laws, norcould it be removed because it allegedly contributed to a racially hostilelearning environment.2 Huckleberry Finn has endured more than a cen-tury of controversy with no sign that the hackles it raises will abate.Cyberspace now poses additional challenges for libraries.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
