A primary problem in the area of natural language processing has
been that of semantic analysis. This book aims to look at the
semantics of natural languages in context. It presents an approach
to the computational processing of English text that combines
current theories of knowledge representation and reasoning in
Artificial Intelligence with the latest linguistic views of lexical
semantics. This results in distinct advantages for relating the
semantic analysis of a sentence to its context. A key feature is
the clear separation of the lexical entries that represent the
domain-specific linguistic information from the semantic
interpreter that performs the analysis. The criteria for defining
the lexical entries are firmly grounded in current linguistic
theories, facilitating integration with existing parsers. This
approach has been implemented and tested in Prolog on a domain for
physics word problems and full details of the algorithms and code
are presented. Semantic Processing for Finite Domains will appeal
to postgraduates and researchers in computational linguistics, and
to industrial groups specializing in natural language processing.

What would happen if Jane Austen met Laura Ingalls Wilder?
Hopefully, something like California May. In California, May 1919,
Thomas and Mary wed. They escape Thomas' domineering mother when
they learn they have inherited a farm in Belmont, Kentucky. The
following year, their daughter, California May is born. When Pa
breaks his leg the neighbors come to help harvest. Among them is
Josh Hill, the most feared schoolyard bully. Josh and Callie form a
surprising bond. When Callie falls in love with dashing rogue,
Frank Robbins, it's an ill-fated marriage. She finds true happiness
when Ben Cooper knocks on her door. But Ben begins searching for
evidence linking a high stakes poker game to a string of murders.
The results are deadly. From Model T's to World War II to tie dye
curtains, Callie May faces devastating loss and the challenge of
raising three children with grace, courage, and enduring friendship
Title: The shady side, or, Life in a country parsonage.Author:
Martha Stone HubbellPublisher: Gale, Sabin Americana Description:
Based on Joseph Sabin's famed bibliography, Bibliotheca Americana,
Sabin Americana, 1500--1926 contains a collection of books,
pamphlets, serials and other works about the Americas, from the
time of their discovery to the early 1900s. Sabin Americana is rich

westward expansion, the U.S. Civil War and other military actions,
Native Americans, slavery and abolition, religious history and
more.Sabin Americana offers an up-close perspective on life in the
western hemisphere, encompassing the arrival of the Europeans on
the shores of North America in the late 15th century to the first
decades of the 20th century. Covering a span of over 400 years in
North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, this
collection highlights the society, politics, religious beliefs,
culture, contemporary opinions and momentous events of the time. It
provides access to documents from an assortment of genres, sermons,
political tracts, newspapers, books, pamphlets, maps, legislation,
literature and more.Now for the first time, these high-quality
digital scans of original works are available via print-on-demand,

As American students confront the multiple challenges of
standardized tests, international comparisons, and drop-out
pressures, educators and policy makers are seeking bold new
teaching approaches with increasing urgency. One such approach--the
introduction of innovative computer technologies into the
classroom--has met with enthusiasm among students and instructors
alike. Software Goes to School brings together leading experts to
offer an in-depth examination of how computer technology can play
an invaluable part in educational efforts through its unique
capacities to support the development of students' understanding of
difficult concepts. Focusing on three broad themes--the nature of
understanding, the potential of technology in the classroom, and
the transformation of educational theory into practice--the
contributors discuss a wealth of subjects central to any efforts
that intend to improve our schools. Topics range from the
difficulties students encounter when learning new ideas (especially
in science and mathematics), to how the right software allows for
hands-on manipulation of abstract concepts, to the social realities
of the educational environment. Lively and engaging, the book is
must reading for students, researchers, and professionals in
educational psychology, developmental psychology, software design,
and for others who hope to see new technologies have a positive
impact on our schools.
Declining test scores, burgeoning drop-out rates, poor showings in
international comparisons-the malaise of public education seems to
grow everyday. In this context, technology has emerged as one of
the hopes of a renewed educational enterprise. Yet modern
information-processing technologies have proved far from a panacea
for the ills of education. Software Goes to School describes why
that is the case in its consideration of three broad themes. The
first part of the book addresses the question of what it means to
understand. What constitutes understanding something? What are our
principle resources in teaching for understanding? The second part
of the book focuses front and centre on what technology can offer
in teaching for understanding. Individual chapters examine how
technologies afford new ways of representing complex concepts and
make available new means by which students can manipulate abstract
entities in a "hands-on" way. The last part of the book discusses
the complexities of realistic educational settings, explores what
happens when technology-based innovations are introduced, and
examines the means by which a pedagogy of understanding can take
root and thrive. Authored by an eminent group of researchers, this
book offers numerous practical guidelines on how computers and
software can work together for the betterment of the teaching
process. Students and professionals in educational psychology,
developmental psychology, and educational computing-as well as
concerned parents-will want to read this stimulating new work.
