So many slighting remarks have been made of late on the use of teaching grammar as compared with teaching science, that it is plain the fact has been lost sight of that grammar is itself a science. The object we have, or should have, in teaching science, is not to fill a child's mind with a vast number of facts that may or may not prove useful to him hereafter, but to draw out and exercise his powers of observation, and to show him how to make use of what he observes.... And here the teacher of grammar has a great advantage over the teacher of other sciences, in that the facts he has to call attention to lie ready at hand for every pupil to observe without the use of apparatus of any kind while the use of them also lies within the personal experience of every one.
—Dr Richard Morris.

Negotiate to Win - The 21 Rules for Successful Negotiating

Negotiate to Win - The 21 Rules for Successful Negotiating

Jim Thomas | HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.
Pages: 320 | ISBN: 0060781068
PDF | English | 2.85 MB

Americans as a whole are really bad at negotiating. We find haggling to be beneath us and we're uncomfortable with it, yet we feel cheated when we don't get the best deal possible. World-class negotiator, author, and attorney Thomas takes his cues from cultures where negotiating is celebrated as an art. While India or the Middle East may come to mind, when it comes to masters of negotiation, Japan tops the list. Thomas explains that the American way of logic and reasoning is persuasion, not negotiation, and you can persuade until you're blue in the face and still get nowhere. The art of negotiation is allowing your counterpart (don't think of them as your "opponent") to save face, which means always giving some concessions to get what you really want. "Beating" your colleague is not a way to create long-term relationships, but a "win-win" solution is. Thomas presents 21 powerful rules of negotiating, plus gives "Quickies," specific tips on how to negotiate with your boss, spouse, child, car dealer, contractor, and more. Inspiring.

The Maine Woods by Henry David Thoreau

The Maine Woods by Henry David Thoreau

Global Language Resources, Inc.

PDF + DjVu | English | 0.81 + 1.45 MB

Henry D. Thoreau traveled to the backwoods of Maine in 1846, 1853, and 1857. Originally published in 1864, and published now with a new introduction by Paul Theroux, this volume is a powerful telling of those journeys through a rugged and largely unspoiled land. It presents Thoreau's fullest account of the wilderness.
The Maine Woods is classic Thoreau: a personal story of exterior and interior discoveries in a natural setting--all conveyed in taut, masterly prose. Thoreau's evocative renderings of the life of the primitive forest--its mountains, waterways, fauna, flora, and inhabitants--are timeless and valuable on their own. But his impassioned protest against the despoilment of nature in the name of commerce and sport, which even by the 1850s threatened to deprive Americans of the "tonic of wildness," makes The Maine Woods an especially vital book for our own time.

In July 1845, Henry David Thoreau built a small cottage in the woods near Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. During the two years and two months he spent there, he began to write Walden, his most important work, a chronicle of his communion with nature that became one of the most influential and compelling books in American literature. Since its first publication on August 9, 1854, by Ticknor and Fields, the work has become a classic, beloved for its message of living simply and in harmony with nature.

This delightful little volume is a compilation of articles written for American troops bound for France in World War One. While their effect on the average doughboy may be questionable, they give a powerful and invaluable insight into one of the most perceptive minds of the age.
Wharton, in her most engaging and always readable style, discusses First Impressions, and examines issues of Reverence, Taste, Intellectual Honesty, and Continuity, and, in her essay on the New Frenchwoman, reveals perhaps more about herself than her subjects.
Highly recommended as a fine introduction to the author.

1000 Questions About Canada by J.R. Colombo

1000 Questions About Canada
- Places, People, Things and Ideas
A Question-and-Answer Book on Canadian Facts and Culture

John Robert Colombo | A Hounslow Book Toronto · Oxford 2001

PDF | English | 1.19 MB

In this book you will find one thousand entries, some long, some short, devoted to subjects of Canadian interest. The entries are loosely grouped into four categories – People, Places, Things, Ideas – but other than that they are arranged in no particular order. Each entry consists of a straight-forward question followed by an informative answer.
The work is a question-and-answer book, not a quiz book. A question-and-answer book bears the same relationship to a quiz book that a general-interest magazine does to a daily newspaper: It tells little stories. It does not dwell on current events but on curious events of lasting interest. Nor is the present book an almanac or a fact book. Instead it is a work that has been prepared to be of interest to the general reader with a taste for Canadian subjects and topics. In fact, it is my hope that the unlikely questions will be answered in such a way as to surprise the reader and from time to time astonish him or her.

This book presents an attempt to bring together what may be accepted with regard to the personality and actual life of King Arthur, while putting aside everything that is obviously or probably fabulous.
W. Howship Dickinson endeavoured to give due weight to the evidence, both positive and negative, rather than to work up to a pre-determined conclusion. With regard to the evidence of a positive kind, if so it may be called, especial weight has been given to the details of topography, more particularly in Cornwall, with the Arthurian localities of which the author happened to be more familiar than with those elsewhere.

Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science (2nd Edition)

Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science (2nd Edition)

by Ronald L. Graham, Donald E. Knuth, Oren Patashnik

Addison-Wesley 1994 | ISBN: 0201558025 | 638 pages

PDF | English | 11.52 MB

This book introduces the mathematics that supports advanced computer programming and the analysis of algorithms. The primary aim of its well-known authors is to provide a solid and relevant base of mathematical skills - the skills needed to solve complex problems, to evaluate horrendous sums, and to discover subtle patterns in data. It is an indispensable text and reference not only for
computer scientists - the authors themselves rely heavily on it! - but for serious users of mathematics in virtually every discipline.

Concrete Mathematics is a blending of CONtinuous and disCRETE mathematics. "More concretely," the authors explain, "it is the controlled manipulation of mathematical formulas, using a collection of techniques for solving problems." The subject matter is primarily an expansion of the Mathematical Preliminaries section in Knuth's classic Art of Computer Programming, but the style of presentation is more leisurely, and individual topics are covered more deeply. Several new topics have been added, and the most significant ideas have been traced to their historical roots. The book includes more than 500 exercises, divided into six categories. Complete answers are provided for all exercises, except research problems, making the book particularly valuable for self-study.
Major topics include:
* Sums
* Recurrences
* Integer functions
* Elementary number theory
* Binomial coefficients
* Generating functions
* Discrete probability
* Asymptotic methods

This second edition includes important new material about mechanical summation. In response to the widespread use of the first edition as a reference book, the bibliography and index have also been expanded, and additional nontrivial improvements can be found on almost every page. Readers will appreciate the informal style of Concrete Mathematics. Particularly enjoyable are the marginal graffiti contributed by students who have taken courses based on this material. The authors want to convey not only the importance of the techniques presented, but some of the fun in learning and using them.

The Virial Theorem in Stellar Astrophysics

The Virial Theorem in Stellar Astrophysics

G.W. Collins | Pachart Publishing House 2003 | Pages 116

PDF + DjVu | English | 1.92 + 0.70 MB

Not only might one comfortably ask "why one would write a book on this subject?", but one might further wonder why anyone would resurrect it from the past. My reasons revolve around the original reasons for writing the monograph in the first place. I have always regarded the virial theorem as extremely powerful in understanding problems of stellar astrophysics, but I have also found it to be poorly understood by many who study the subject. While it is obvious that the theorem has not changed in the quarter-century that has passed since I first wrote the monograph, pressures on curricula have reduced the exposure of students to the theorem even below that of the mid 20th century. So it does not seem unreasonable that I make it available to any who might learn from it.
I would only ask that should readers find it helpful in their research, that they make the proper attribution should they employ its contents. - G.W. Collins
