This superb edition contains two of Aristotle's greatest writings
in authoritative translations. The Rhetoric is translated by
Cambridge scholar John Henry Freese, and The Poetics is translated
by Oxford scholar of classics Ingram Bywater. Aristotle's legendary
treatise on speech explains and instructs on the powers of oratory
to move and persuade people. Composed amid the popular Greek
culture, in which aspiring and reigning politicians would perfect
the oratorical arts to influence voting and their subjects,
Rhetoric is a summation of an art whose poignancy and power could
change the face of an entire society. The Poetics of Aristotle sets
out the essential nature of drama and the performing arts. Each
chapter deals with a different element of drama and its
composition, discussing the process by which Greek society had come
to define its written literature.

Author's Corner My name is Jennifer V. Spersrud and I am 42 years
old. I have celiac disease. That might sound awful to you, but not
for me My regional gluten-free life style books will be a wonderful
resource to inform you of gluten-free supermarkets to gluten-free
bakeries in your entire region. Having celiac disease is more than
just an allergy to gluten, but it is a lifestyle change. In these
books I have included points to help make life easier for those
people living with gluten allergies; for example, eating out at
restaurants. You need to be proactive in dealing with this
situation. For example, when eating out at restaurants, be sure to
ask the right questions: 1.Do you have a gluten-free menu? If the
answer is no, I myself would not eat there. Taking a chance of
receiving gluten is not worth it to me. 2.Does the kitchen chef
have a section on the grill/stove for gluten-free items? This is a
crucial question because if it is at all possible that gluten can
reach the clean area of the grill, you should not risk ingesting
it. But as I said you need to ask the specific questions to get the
right answers. 3.Does the kitchen staff prepare meals in stainless
pots and pans with stainless cooking tools? This is important
because plastic utensils absorb the wheat and other
gluten-containing elements. These are just a few questions that can
help you learn to cope with eating out, and continuing your normal
life. I say normal because having a gluten-allergy is just another
part of your life and that should not hold you back from any part
of your previous lifestyle. My resource books cover a lot of
knowledge on gluten-free lifestyle; let's do this together
Sincerely, Jennifer
You already know that logistics is hard, it should not be, but it
just is. The key components to supply and movement consist of
receive, store, issue, and move. It should be that simple. Bottom
line: it just is not that simple. There are too many moveable parts
where the synergy of the operation could provide a scenario where
the combined requirements needed to sustain a theater are greater
than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. . This
book outlines some of these logistical components and their
doctrinal relationship to the operation, as well as provides some
new ideas. . The chapters are formatted in a fashion that offer the
reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is
based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute
the logistical function or capability as it relates to the
operation. . The goal is to discuss those hard logistical topics
and their conception to improve the general knowledge and
understanding on "why it happens," and "how we can improve the
outcome."
Charles Horton Cooley's account of human beings, their behavior,
and how they organize themselves has been praised for its
originality, and remains an underappreciated and much-cited classic
of sociology. Human Nature and the Social Order is a logically
composed book which straddles and to a degree transcends the
boundaries between philosophy, psychology and sociology. Cooley
wished to clarify the behavior of human beings, how they come to
interact and socialize with one another, and how they arrive at a
definition of themselves that is in harmony with their own
well-being and that of others. Later in the book, Cooley discusses
qualities which have been promoted or felt as necessary for humans
in civilized society. Good, conscientious and beneficent
leadership, the possession of a moral compass and conscience, and
the excellent values of freedom receive their own discussions with
positive and negative elements comprising the well-rounded
analyses.
Post-war national reconstruction is a comprehensive reference work
assessing recent changes in post-conflict governance in the Congo.
The author offers new perspectives on how well the governments of
the past have prepared the Congo for a sustainable post-conflict
future. Moreover, he analyses the forces at work in post-conflict
reconstruction and the interests of players in the long-term
economic recovery of the Congo. The book provides a multi-faced
analysis on the standards governing DRC's national reconstruction,
offering guidance to researchers, students and policy-makers in
international relations and peace studies and related fields. It
also provides business professionals with tools they need to better
understand risks and opportunities in the post-conflict DRC.
Homi Bhabha: An Introduction and Critique is a pathbreaking
three-volume study of the famous postcolonial scholar's work.
McLaverty-Robinson's treatment translates Bhabha's almost
impenetrable prose into plain English, without losing its meaning.
It also explains the backgrounf assumptions and references lurking
behind Bhabha's theoretical concepts. In addition,
McLaverty-Robinson's incisive critique cuts through the aura
surrounding critical theory, exploring whether Bhabha's ideas work
in practice - either empirically or politically. This first volume
explores Bhabha's views on philosophy and culture. It includes
chapters explaining his social constructivist assumptions, and
exploring his interpretations of art and literature.
This classic of Christian autobiography John Bunyan is timeless in
its wisdom, wherein the author wrestles with his convictions of
belief in the divine. For centuries a leading source on the
Puritanical movement and its adherents, Grace Abounding to the
Chief of Sinners remains a regularly consulted text by theologians,
religious historians and the general reader. The title itself is a
composite reference to two famous Biblical passages: Romans 5:20
and Timothy 1:15. As well as discussing the process through which
he found his Christian faith, Bunyan is forthright about the
personal struggles he had with belief. Hardship was a reality for
Bunyan, who drafted this book while incarcerated for preaching
without a proper license. For Bunyan the possibility of salvation
by the Lord was a constant preoccupation, and a motivation for
authoring multiple works on faith and leading the life he led.
When we look at the education in the United States today, we find
that the educational prowess and dominance has greatly eroded. Many
countries that we call third world countries consistently beat our
students in math, history, social studies, and science. These
countries have different morals and understanding of life than we,
but these things are not taught in their schools. They are taught
where they ought to be. There are rules and regulations in the
various countries that some in our country would like to adopt
here, but that is why we are not known as a third world country. We
have that thing called freedom and rights that those countries
don't have. Some of the courts have told us to take God out of the
school, the pledge, and out of our state governments. Our
forefathers gave to us this method of understanding our history,
and we must understand that our forefathers mostly believed in God,
also that the very reason many people came to our lands in the
beginning is to have freedom of religion and not freedom from
religion. This is just one way the courts are trying to change our
lives. This book will explore many reasons why teachers are unable
to get the job done and why students aren't in the top ten of the
world's knowledge pool. We need to think on these things before it
is too late
