Everything You Know About English Is Wrong - PDF
نویسندگان: Bill Brohaugh خلاصه: Never trust a bookstore employee who, when asked where to find etymology and word books, leads you to the word-search puzzle rack. In the true story that prompted this advice, I stared at the pulp- paper acrostics and cryptograms and crosswords. Though a bit flummoxed, I realized that I should forgive this earnest associate. After all, English itself is, in a broad sense, a word puzzle, and like both those puzzles and the queries of where the etymology section of the bookstore is, sometimes people try hard yet come up with wrong answers. Our understanding of English—its history, its rules, its use—is often misconceived, misguided, misinformed, or based on some lie someone told us, probably via email, cuz it made a good story. Yet, what a wondrous language. Puzzle me this language always, despite its inherent confounderies.

You Are Here: A Portable History of the Universe - PDF
نویسندگان: Christopher Potter خلاصه: You Are Here is a dazzling exploration of the universe and our relationship to it, as seen through the lens of today's most cutting-edge scientific thinking. Christopher Potter brilliantly parses the meaning of what we call the universe. He tells the story of how something evolved from nothing and how something became everything. What does a material description of everything and nothing look like? What is it that science does when it describes a reality that is made out of something? In between nothing and everything is where we live. Here, for the first time in a single span, is the life of the universe, from quarks to galaxy superclusters and from slime to Homo sapiens. The universe was once a moment of perfect symmetry and is now 13.7 billion years of history. Clouds of gas were woven into whatever complexity we find in the universe today: the hierarchies of stars or the brains of mammals. Potter writes entertainingly about the history and philosophy of science, and he shows that science advances by continually removing humankind from a position of primacy in the universe, but the universe responds by placing us back there again. With wisdom and wonder, Potter traverses the cosmos from its conception to its eventual end—while exploring everything in between.

Tell Him You're Married - PDF
نویسندگان: Stan Rogal خلاصه: If the ghosts of Woody Allen and David Mamet were available (at the early date) to float through the fiction of one writer, that writer would have to be Stan Rogal. In linked short stories imbued with wry humour, brutally frank honesty and caustically banal dialogue, women and men argue, make love and taunt each other mercilessly. Reading Rogal's stories is like acting on this women's proposition: so easy and so enjoyable. But like the world of theatre Rogal invokes in many of his stories, where it is sometimes hard to tell whether people are really good actors, or if they are actually feeling what they are telling you, these stories suspend your disbelief so effortlessly that you put the book down and marvel at the seduction that has been 'performed'.
