The Turn of the Screw (Webster's Thesaurus Edition)

"The Turn of the Screw (Webster's Thesaurus Edition)" by Henry James
ICON Group International | 246 pages | English | 2006 | ISBN: 0497252694 | PDF | 2,1 MB

There are many editions of The Turn of the Screw. This educational edition was created for self-improvement or in preparation for advanced examinations. The bottom of each page is annotated with a mini-thesaurus of uncommon words highlighted in the text, including synonyms and antonyms. Designed for school districts, educators, and students seeking to maximize performance on standardized tests, Webster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings. A running thesaurus at the bottom of each page is useful to students who are actively building their vocabularies in anticipation of taking PSAT®, SAT®, AP® (Advanced Placement®), GRE®, LSAT®, GMAT® or similar examinations. This edition exposes the reader to a maximum number of “difficult, and often encountered” words in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages.

Language, Thought, and Other Biological Categories: New Foundations for Realism

Language, Thought, and Other Biological Categories: New Foundations for Realism
Publisher: The MIT Press | ISBN: 0262631156 | edition 1987 | PDF | 364 pages | 34,8 mb

Beginning with a general theory of function applied to body organs, behaviors, customs, and both inner and outer representations, Ruth Millikan argues that the intentionality of language can be described without reference to speaker intentions and that an understanding of the intentionality of thought can and should be divorced from the problem of understanding consciousness. The results support a realist theory of truth and of universals, and open the way for a nonfoundationalist and nonholistic approach to epistemology. The book covers such topics as three dimensions of meaning; the functions of indexicals, descriptions, "is," "exists," "all," negation and intentional contexts; the act of identifying; the ontology of identity including identity over time; and the significance of subject-predicate structure for construction of a nonholist realist epistemology.

The American Heritage Book of Great American Speeches for Young People

Suzanne McIntire, "The American Heritage Book of Great American Speeches for Young People"
Jossey-Bass | 2001 | ISBN: 0471389420 | 304 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

The history of the United States has been characterized by fervent idealism, intense struggle, and radical change. And for every critical, defining moment in American history, there were those whose impassioned voices rang out, clear and true, and whose words compelled the minds and hearts of all who heard them. When Patrick Henry declared, "Give me liberty, or give me death!", when Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I have a dream", Americans listened and were profoundly affected. These speeches stand today as testaments to this great nation made up of individuals with bold ideas and unshakeable convictions.

The American Heritage Book of Great American Speeches for Young People includes over 100 speeches by founding fathers, patriots, Native American and African American leaders, abolitionists, women's suffrage and labor activists, writers, athletes, and others from all walks of life, featuring inspiring and unforgettable speeches by such notable speakers as:

Patrick Henry * Thomas Jefferson * Tecumseh * Frederick Douglass * Sojourner Truth * Abraham Lincoln * Susan B. Anthony * Mother Jones * Lou Gehrig * Franklin D. Roosevelt * Albert Einstein * Pearl S. Buck * Langston Hughes * John F. Kennedy * Martin Luther King Jr.

These are the voices that shaped our history. They are powerful, moving, and, above all else, uniquely American.

Practice in a Second Language: Perspectives from Applied Linguistics and Cognitive Psychology

Practice in a Second Language: Perspectives from Applied Linguistics and Cognitive Psychology
Cambridge University Press; 1 edition (March 12, 2007) | ISBN-10: 0521684048 | Pages: 323 | PDF | 1,4MB

Practice as a necessity for learning a second language has been a tacit assumption among language teachers for quite some time; however, the concept has not been widely considered from a theoretical perspective until now. This volume of twelve original articles focuses on the topic, with attention to the four skill areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking. The contributors explore a number of questions including what kind of practice is most effective, in what contexts, and for what kinds of learners. This text will serve as a valuable resource and reference for second-language educators and researchers alike.

Contexts and Constructions (Constructional Approaches to Language)

Prof. Dr. Alexander Bergs, Contexts and Constructions (Constructional Approaches to Language)
John Benjamins Publishing Company (December 17, 2009) | ISBN-10: 9027204314 | Pages: 252 | PDF | 2,37MB

This collection of original articles focuses on the function, role, and structure of linguistic and extralinguistic “context(s)” in relation to the notion of “constructions” and in construction grammar. It thus takes up and brings together two equally complex concepts of linguistics, which both encompass structural as well as pragmatic and discourse-oriented aspects. Although both notions – contexts as well as constructions – have been under intense discussion in linguistics during the last decades with a wide span of research interests, integrative studies of these aspects have been largely missing.
The eight papers presented in this volume explore the possibilities and risks of integrating context(s) into particular constructions and construction grammar in general. Topics range from particular language and construction-specific problems such as the "polysemy" of modal verbs in relation to context-sensitive constructions, to general technical analyses and proposals, including proposals for formalizing contextual features in constructional representations.
The volume will be of interest to scholars and advanced undergraduates interested in linguistic theory in general and in constructional, pragmatic and discourse-analytic approaches in particular.

Cognition and Pragmatics (Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights)

Dominiek Sandra, Cognition and Pragmatics (Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights)
John Benjamins Publishing Company; 3rd edition (December 9, 2009) | ISBN-10: 9027207801 | Pages: 416 | PDF | 2,9MB

The ten volumes of Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights focus on the most salient topics in the field of pragmatics, thus dividing its wide interdisciplinary spectrum in a transparent and manageable way. While other volumes select philosophical, grammatical, social, variational, interactional, or discursive angles, this third volume focuses on the interface between language and cognition. Language use is impossible without the mobilization of a large variety of cognitive processes, each serving a different purpose. During the last half century cognitive approaches to language have been particularly successful, and the broad spectrum of contributions to this volume testify to this success. As cognitive approaches to language are by definition a subset of the larger enterprise of cognitive science, a contribution on this general topic sets the stage. This is joined by a chapter on cognitive grammar, a theoretical study of the architecture of human language that is deeply inspired by general cognitive principles. A chapter on experimentation offers a crash-course on basic issues of experimental design and on the rationale behind statistical testing in general and the most important statistical tests in particular, offering a methodological toolkit for understanding many of the other contributions. Different chapters cover a broad range of topics: language acquisition, psycholinguistics, specialized topics within the latter field (e.g. the bilingual mental lexicon, categorization), and aspects of language awareness. Some chapters home in on what have become indispensible perspectives on the cognitive underpinnings of language: the way language is represented and processed in the human brain and simulation studies. The ever-growing success of the latter type of studies is exemplified, for instance, by the highly flourishing connectionist tradition and the more general paradigm of artificial intelligence, each of which is dealt with in a separate contribution.

Reviews ...
a very thorough and great book....

But as the other reviewer stated, this is most definitely not a book for the beginning assembly language programmer.

But for one who has been programming for many years, this book carefully and comprehensively covers the guts of the computer.

For one who has only a few years of computer work experience, you could still get through the first few chapters and write beginner-level assembly language programs.

When choosing this book, think carefully about what kind of assembler you wish to use. You can go and search on the web for "Assembler simulator" and you will see there are many variations on assembler languages as well as processors. You should pick one that fits your needs.

For the college instructor, this book comes with wonderful questions and answers. There is also a nice instructor manual. I enjoyed working through the examples, and found this book quite challenging.

...
most definately not a book for the beginning assembly language programmer. that said, this is one of the most detailed and informative books on the subject i have every had the pleasure of finding, purchasing, and reading.

the book travels deep into the electronic architecture of the humble pc and teaches you how to do things you never even knew could be done. it covers parallel port and serial port interfacing, memory architecture, graphics programming, and just about every other facet of the pc that there is in a very comprehensive and satisfying manner.

i have purchased 9 books so far published by prentice hall, and all were superb. i whole heartedly recommend to EVERYONE that if you ever need to know about something and want a book, see what prentice hall has on the subject FIRST. the quality and quantity of information and the layout and design in their publications are second to none.

if assembly language programming were a religion then this is my bible, and the authors and are my gods.

AVIEN Malware Defense Guide for the Enterprise

AVIEN Malware Defense Guide for the Enterprise By David Harley, Ken Bechtel, Michael Blanchard
Publisher: Syngress 2007 | 656 Pages | ISBN: 1597491640 | PDF | 5 MB



Members of AVIEN (the Anti-Virus Information Exchange Network) have been setting agendas in malware management for several years: they led the way on generic filtering at the gateway, and in the sharing of information about new threats at a speed that even anti-virus companies were hard-pressed to match. AVIEN members represent the best-protected large organizations in the world, and millions of users. When they talk, security vendors listen: so should you.

AVIEN's sister organization AVIEWS is an invaluable meeting ground between the security vendors and researchers who know most about malicious code and anti-malware technology, and the top security administrators of AVIEN who use those technologies in real life. This new book uniquely combines the knowledge of these two groups of experts. Anyone who is responsible for the security of business information systems should be aware of this major addition to security literature.

* "Customer Power" takes up the theme of the sometimes stormy relationship between the antivirus industry and its customers, and tries to dispel some common myths. It then considers the roles of the independent researcher, the vendor-employed specialist, and the corporate security specialist.
* "Stalkers on Your Desktop" considers the thorny issue of malware nomenclature and then takes a brief historical look at how we got here, before expanding on some of the malware-related problems we face today.
* "A Tangled Web" discusses threats and countermeasures in the context of the World Wide Web.
* "Big Bad Bots" tackles bots and botnets, arguably Public Cyber-Enemy Number One.
* "Crème de la CyberCrime" takes readers into the underworld of old-school virus writing, criminal business models, and predicting future malware hotspots.
* "Defense in Depth" takes a broad look at DiD in the enterprise, and looks at some specific tools and technologies.
* "Perilous Outsorcery" offers sound advice on how to avoid the perils and pitfalls of outsourcing, incorporating a few horrible examples of how not to do it.
* "Education in Education" offers some insights into user education from an educationalist's perspective, and looks at various aspects of security in schools and other educational establishments.
* "DIY Malware Analysis" is a hands-on, hands-dirty approach to security management, considering malware analysis and forensics techniques and tools.
* "Antivirus Evaluation & Testing" continues the D-I-Y theme, discussing at length some of the thorny issues around the evaluation and testing of antimalware software.
* "AVIEN & AVIEWS: the Future" looks at future developments in AVIEN and AVIEWS.
