Hit & Miss (9781481423168)

The second middle grade book in the New York Times bestselling Jeter Publishing imprint, Hit & Miss is a baseball novel inspired by the youth of legendary sports icon and role model Derek Jeter. "Just try to make solid contact, stay level and in control. Positive thoughts only, right?" That's the advice Derek's father gives him about batting--and a lot more. It seems that Little League season is here. Throughout the long Michigan winter, Derek thought that Opening Day might never come. Now at last he can pursue his dream of one day playing shortstop for the New York Yankees. As luck would have it, he's on the Red Sox this year, and they seem to have more talent than the Tigers, the team he was on when last season ended in disappointment. His best friend, Vijay, is with him again, and Derek gets the same number--13!--that his father wore in college. Now if the new kid with the chauffeur turns out to be a player, well, the Red Sox might just win it all. But as...

Rhetorical Accessability : At the Intersection of Technical Communication and Disability Studies (9780895037893)

Rhetorical Accessability is the first text to bring the fields of technical communication and disability studies into conversation. The two fields also share a pragmatic foundation in their concern with accommodation and accessibility, that is, the material practice of making social and technical environments and texts as readily available, easy to use, and/or understandable as possible to as many people as possible, including those with disabilities. Through its concern with the pragmatic, theoretically grounded work of helping users interface effectively and seamlessly with technologies, the field of technical communication is perfectly poised to put the theoretical work of disability studies into practice. In other words, technical communication could ideally be seen as a bridge between disability theories and web accessibility practices. While technical communicators are ideally positioned to solve communication problems and to determine the best delivery method, those same issues ...

In this third edition, bestselling authors Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller answer the question most leaders ask at some point in their career: "What do I need to do to be a great leader?" The secret may surprise you. The authors get at the heart of what makes a leader successful in this classic business fable.

Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum : How Humans Took Control of Climate (0691173214)

The impact on climate from 200 years of industrial development is an everyday fact of life, but did humankind's active involvement in climate change really begin with the industrial revolution, as commonly believed? Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum has sparked lively scientific debate since it was first published--arguing that humans have actually been changing the climate for some 8,000 years--as a result of the earlier discovery of agriculture. The "Ruddiman Hypothesis" will spark intense debate. We learn that the impact of farming on greenhouse-gas levels, thousands of years before the industrial revolution, kept our planet notably warmer than if natural climate cycles had prevailed--quite possibly forestalling a new ice age. Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum is the first book to trace the full historical sweep of human interaction with Earth's climate. Ruddiman takes us through three broad stages of human history: when nature was in control; when humans began to take co...

A classic grimoire, or source-work of magic.Le Véritable Magie Noire, or the book of True Black Magic, is an influential early printed grimoire, containing many interesting features.

Mathers, much of the content looks familiar. But it has some unique features that draw our attention. In particular, it preserves some older elements not included in the Mathers edition, including spells for love, and hindering romantic rivals.This new critical edition includes a new English translation, and complete French text.

Blue Horizon : The Courtney Series 11 (9781785766770)

Jim sprang back on to the truck of the violently rocking wagon, and stared across at Manatasee. She saw him and pointed her assegai at his face. Then he saw the length of slow-match had been exposed across the last yard of trampled earth below the mound on which the queen stood. The swift flame shot along it, leaving the fuse blackened and twisted as it burned. Jim clenched his jaws and waited for the explosion. A powerful enemy. A land of second chances. Jim Courtney is protected by all the wealth and influence that his family's successful business, the Courtney Brothers Trading Company, can provide in the Dutch-owned colonies of South Africa. Louisa Leuven is an orphaned young woman who escaped the plague only to be unjustly imprisoned and transported to the Cape. When a storm destroys her prison ship, Jim is her only hope of escape.

Turn Off the Fat Genes : The Revolutionary Guide to Losing Weight (9780609809044)

Breakthrough genetic research indicates that genes are not just on/off switches for characteristics we can't control (like gender or eye color). Some genes, including those that shape our bodies, actually adapt to outside influences. In Turn Off the Fat Genes, Dr. Neal Barnard draws on this cutting-edge research to create a revolutionary new program to help your body sculpt away excess pounds by activating thin genes and suppressing fat ones. The heart of Dr. Barnard's book is a three-week gene-control program specifically designed to help you identify your gene types by asking questions like: What's your genetic taste type? Do you strongly dislike Brussels sprouts? Are some desserts too sweet to eat? Is black coffee undrinkable? If you answered yes to all three questions you're a genetic bitter "taster" or "supertaster" (as opposed to a "nontaster"). You'll find out how to work with your genetic taste type. Is your appetite becomin...

"In den hier versammelten Studien [diese Ausgabe besteht aus vier Bänden] wird analysiert, wie die Soziologie es versucht hat, ihre kognitive, soziale und historische Identität und damit die Anerkennung als Disziplin innerhalb unterschiedlicher Wissenschaftssysteme und in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Kontexten zu gewinnen. Gefragt wird nach der Einzigartigkeit und Kohärenz ihrer intellektuellen Orientierungen, Paradigmen, Problemstellungen und Forschungswerkzeuge (kognitive Identität); beschrieben werden die Institutionalisierungsprozesse, durch die das Fach versuchte, sich organisatorisch zu stabilisieren (soziale Identität); nachgezeichnet werden schließlich die schon früh einsetzenden Bemühungen, eine disziplinäre Vergangenheit zu rekonstruieren, auf die sich im Prinzip alle Mitglieder der soziologischen Wissenschaftlergemeinschaft berufen können (historische Identität)."
