South Park and Philosophy: You Know, I Learned Something Today - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: If you think Saddam and Satan are a kinky couple, wait вЂtil you get a load of South Park and Philosophy. Like Mr. Hanky at Christmas, this is a book whose time has come. On the cheesy poof-stained pages within, 22 philosophers address perennial questions such as, Is Dan Rather real? Should Big Gay Al be allowed to marry Mr. Slave? And, of course, what does philosophy have to do with flatulence? M’kay. Current concerns are also considered. Are American voters inevitably forced to choose between a turd and a douche? Does South Park’s blasphemous humor go too far? If it’s OK to ridicule Islam, is it OK to skewer Scientology? How does Cartmanland raise the problem of evil?

25 Doctrines of Law You Should Know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I'll sue you!) In this litigious society, everyone needs to know a few basics to avoid being snowed, cowed and generally abused. Even those who can afford to hire lawyers need to know what they are up to. In a non-jargon format, this book explains 25 doctrines of law that are most important for Americans on a day-to-day basis. When a conflict arises, what are the main doctrines of law that give one side an advantage? What do they mean, and how do they apply? When you can see through the jargon, the intimidation factor loses its power and you can concentrate on real issues and use these tools to take care of yourself. Some of America's doctrines go back to the 17th-century English Bench and have had a lasting impact on our legal system. Other doctrines are of more recent vintage but have had an equally profound influence. The author has researched 1000 legal cases and identified 326 different doctrines of law; of those, he has selected 25 doctrines that average Americans are most likely to encounter in everyday activities. In these pages he reviews actual cases to show how the doctrines apply in real-life scenarios and relates what happened in court. These examples and explanations provide handy background reading for fans of court-room dramas and, since any one of us may end up in court these days, important general education for every adult in the United States. The 25 doctrines discussed are: 1. Res Ipsa Loquitur 2. Promissory Estoppel 3. Respondeat Superior 4. Doctrine of Sudden Danger 5. Rescue Doctrine 6. Doctrine of Comparative Negligence 7. Doctrine of Unjust Enrichment 8. Doctrine of Unclean Hands 9. Doctrine of Unconscionability 10. Fruit of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine 11. Attractive Nuisance Doctrine 12. Doctrine of Mitigated Damages 13. Quantum Meruit Doctrine 14. Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity 15. Doctrine of Absolute Immunity 16. Doctrine of Qualified Immunity 17. Last Clear Chance Doctrine 18. Open and Obvious Danger Doctrine 19. Assumption of Risk Doctrine 20. Public Duty Doctrine 21. Statute of Limitations 22. Equitable Estoppel 23. Res Judicata 24.Collateral Estoppel 25. Stare Decisis As an accessible point of introduction for those interested in the US legal system, this book is suitable as a popular reference work for public libraries, auxiliary reading for business-school courses, a starting place for anyone caught in a legal conflict, and handy background reading for fans of court-room drama novels and TV. The doctrines of law have never been addressed in book form before. In fact, surprisingly little is on the market that would make even some basic principles of American law accessible to the public.
Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Making Sense of Japanese is the fruit of one foolhardy American's thirty-year struggle to learn and teach the Language of the Infinite. Previously known as Gone Fishin', this book has brought Jay Rubin more feedback than any of his literary translations or scholarly tomes, ''even if,'' he says, ''you discount the hate mail from spin-casters and the stray gill-netter.'' To convey his conviction that ''the Japanese language is not vague,'' Rubin has dared to explain how some of the most challenging Japanese grammatical forms work in terms of everyday English. Reached recently at a recuperative center in the hills north of Kyoto, Rubin declared, ''I'm still pretty sure that Japanese is not vague. Or at least, it's not as vague as it used to be. Probably.'' The notorious ''subjectless sentence'' of Japanese comes under close scrutiny in Part One. A sentence can't be a sentence without a subject, so even in cases where the subject seems to be lost or hiding, the author provides the tools to help you find it. Some attention is paid as well to the rest of the sentence, known technically to grammarians as ''the rest of the sentence.'' Part Two tackles a number of expressions that have baffled students of Japanese over the decades, and concludes with Rubin's patented technique of analyzing upside-down Japanese sentences right-side up, which, he claims, is ''far more restful'' than the traditional way, inside-out. ''The scholar,'' according to the great Japanese novelist Soseki Natsume, is ''one who specializes in making the comprehensible incomprehensible.'' Despite his best scholarly efforts, Rubin seems to have done just the opposite. Previously published in the Power Japanese series under the same title and originally as Gone Fishin' in the same series.
Binge: What Your College Student Won't Tell You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In Binge , Barrett Seaman reveals what every parent, student, and educator needs to know about the college experience. Seaman spent time with students at twelve highly regarded and diverse colleges and universities across North AmericaВ. During his two years of research, he immersed himself in the lives of the students, often living in their dorms, dining with them, speaking with them on their own terms, and listening to them express their thoughts and feelings. Portraying a campus culture in which today’s best and brightest students grapple with far more than academic challenges, Binge conveys the unprecedented stresses on campus today. While sharing revealing interviews and the often dramatic stories, Seaman explores the complexities of romantic relationships and sexual relations, alcohol and drug use, anxiety and depression, class and racial boundaries, and more. Despite the disturbing trends, Seaman finds reasons for optimism and offers provocative and well-informed suggestions for improving the undergraduate experience. Sometimes alarming, always fascinating, and ultimately hopeful, Binge is an extraordinary investigative work that reveals the realities of higher education today.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.
