Would I Lie to You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Do you ever feel like the luckiest girl alive? Well, you’re not, because I am. At this moment, I’m sunningmyself on über-social, totally gorgeous Main Beach in East Hampton, watching the preppy boys pull offtheir pastel Lacoste polos and smear Coppertone all over their sun-dappled shoulders. See, there’s areason any New Yorker who doesn’t want to leave the city completely summers in the Hamptons, andit’s the same reason people wear Christian Louboutin strappy sandals or fly first class: the best is justbetter.Speaking of the best, nobody does it better than Eres. I’m a modest girl, but even I think I look prettystunning in my mango-colored halter bikini top and matching boy shorts. Okay, maybe I’m not thatmodest, but why should I be? If you were looking this gorgeous lolling about on a white sand EastHampton beach, you’d be talking about it too. As I learned in my private, all-girls’ Upper East Sideelementary school, it’s not bragging if it’s true.
When Research Goes Off the Rails: Why It Happens and What You Can Do About It - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Welcome to the wonderful world of research. Actually, as a reader ofthis book, you probably don’t need a welcome; you’re already in it, as aresearcher or a student learning the ins and outs of design, methodology,sampling, statistics, focus groups, and all of the other arcane arts that arenecessary to be successful. As researchers and teachers of research ourselves,for more years than either of us would like to admit, we know about thesethings and how they’re presented, both in the classroom and in publishedpapers. But we also know what’s not told—that research is not a smooth,paved superhighway leading from the idea, to the proposal, through thefunding agency, the execution of the plan, and ending in eventual publica-tion. It’s more like a rutted back road, full of dead ends, potholes, detours,and branching side roads. We also know that highways may be fast andefficient, but they’re boring; the back roads are far more unpredictable andscenic. You never know what you’ll find; sometimes it will be little morethan a nondescript backwater town, but more often than not it will be avista that takes your breath away.There are many textbooks that act as tour books for the superhigh-way, but none that are guides to the back roads; this book is such a guide.It tells what really happens on the bumpy road of research; things you findout about only over a beer in the campus pub with a seasoned researcherwho’s in a melancholy mood. Each of the 42 vignettes describes how acarefully crafted, well-thought-out study has been derailed by Murphy’slaw—“If anything can go wrong, it will.” In a few cases, the chapters areas cathartic as they are educational, with the authors sadly relating howthe derailment was disastrous. What comes through in all of the chapters,though, is ingenuity, flexibility, resourcefulness, and—most of all—thelove of research. Projects may have been derailed, at least for a while, butthe researchers weren’t.
Greener Than Thou: Are You Really An Environmentalist? - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The Hoover Institution is designing and implementing task forces onspecific topics that coincide with Hoover’s ongoing research initiatives.Representing multiyear efforts, the task forces will adopt a method-ology whereby a team of experts, both Hoover fellows and otherprominent scholars, are brought together and organized as a team, or“virtual faculty,” to work on commonly defined topics and projects.One of these new task force efforts, with lead sponsorship by Johnand Jean DeNault, is the Task Force on Property Rights, Freedom,and Prosperity.The premise behind Terry Anderson and Laura Huggin’s newbook, Greener Than Thou, complements Hoover’s broader effort ofunderstanding the role of property rights in a free society in the above-mentioned task force. In Greener Than Thou, Anderson and Hugginsaddress the critical link between property ownership and care for as-sets, as evidenced in the poignantly titled chapter 4, “No One Washesa Rental Car.” Throughout the book, Anderson and Huggins delvedeeply into how best to use property rights and markets to convertthe environment from a problem into an asset, providing a convincingalternative to regulation via the property rights and market path. Notonly do property rights lead to prosperity, which in turn leads toenvironmental quality, but the combination of property rights andmarkets makes the environment an asset that can receive careful ste-wardship from its owner.

I liked the people, I liked my professors,and I liked the classes. But even at law school, I was shel-tered. I had little understanding of the practical implicationsof entering a profession where conflict is everywhere andthe seven deadly sins make a daily appearance.

This Is Where I Leave You: A Novel - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Dad’s dead,” Wendy says offhandedly, like it’s happened before, likeit happens every day. It can be grating, this act of hers, to be utterly unfazed at all times, even in the face of tragedy. “He died two hoursago.”“How’s Mom doing?”“She’s Mom, you know? She wanted to know how much to tip thecoroner.”I have to smile, even as I chafe, as always, at our family’s patentedinability to express emotion during watershed events. There is no occasion calling for sincerity that the Foxman family won’t quickly diminishor pervert through our own genetically engineered brand of irony andevasion. We banter, quip, and insult our way through birthdays, holidays, weddings, illnesses. Now Dad is dead and Wendy is cracking wise.It serves him right, since he was something of a pioneer at the forefrontof emotional repression.“It gets better,” Wendy says.“Better? Jesus, Wendy, do you hear yourself?”“Okay, that came out wrong.”“You think?”“He asked us to sit shiva.”“Who did?”“Who are we talking about? Dad! Dad wanted us to sit shiva.”2 J o n a t h a n Tr o p p e r“Dad’s dead.”Wendy sighs, like it’s positively exhausting having to navigate thedense forest of my obtuseness. “Yes, apparently, that’s the optimal timeto do it.”“But Dad’s an atheist.”“Dad was an atheist.”“You’re telling me he found God before he died?”“No, I’m telling you he’s dead and you should conjugate your tensesaccordingly.......
How well are you willing to bee?: A beginners's ''auto'' fix it guide - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The contents of this guide are intended to give the reader knowledge ofsome alternatives to the manner in which he/she may view the treatment of aspecified illness. Although a variety of choices exists, the hope is that this bookmay enlighten you about some new, yet very old, ways to get better. Did thatsuper heart medication, digitalis, not come from the foxglove plant? Sure it did.Do you know where aspirin originated? It was in the willow tree. Even thebuffering agent now used in aspirin comes from that same willow tree. Whatelse does nature have to offer? This is something many of us are now asking andwe are getting answers, too. Why do so many of us use things that just mask aproblem? A bandage can help protect a scratch from further harm, but why notuse something to aid the healing process before you apply the bandage? Well,did you know that raw honey is one of the most sterile topical ointments youcould use? When used on a scratch or burn, for example, it actually assists inspeeding the healing process. Of course, honey is good on piping hot biscuits,too! However, that's another story.What else can we learn about natural healing? It's not invasive to ourbodies. It does not require a whole new way of living, but it can give you one.The cost is affordable. The "feel good" feeling is natural, not synthetic. Thedocumentation about the powers of natural healing has been handed down forthousands of years. The Bible speaks often of the benefits of honey and propolis.Since the time of Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, there is evidence of theuse of apitherapy (the therapeutic use of bee products). The Chinese have usedherbs, bees, and other natural means of healing for hundreds of centuries. Doyou realize that money has not been an issue when dealing with these ways ofhealing? Only when mankind starts to "fool with Mother Nature" does the wal-let become an important factor.Remember when you would fall down and Mom could simply kiss it andmake it all better? Of course the bad knee scrapes sometimes needed a Band-Aid. Now, for instance, many of us feel we need to 'see a doctor' for a hurt knee.What do we get? Perhaps it will be a cortisone shot. Ouch!! Your body pro-duces cortisol, so why not use it instead? Because we don't know how, right?Well, let's start learning, saving money, and getting better. First, learn whatKISS can really mean: Keep It Simple, Sweetheart!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.
