Author: Sally Lane
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1598580930
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
"God wants us to have our heart's desire, but if we don't know what that is, how can we expect Him to give it to us? Creating a list will help us decide which qualities we really want in a husband. I believe 'Perfectly Matched' will work for us. I know it's going to work for me." With this argument, Eva Rose convinces her single women's group to test an idea that promises to help them find the perfect mate. During the creation of her list, each woman is inspired to re-evaluate her attitude toward the opposite sex. When the least likely candidate for marriage turns out to be the project's first success, hope sparks in the hearts of the others-except for jaded, independent Laura, who insists that the man on her list doesn't exist. Sally Lane was born in Joliet, Illinois but moved to Harrison, Arkansas as a single mom in 1975. She is a partner in a real estate company and enjoys writing in her spare time. A List and a Promise is her first novel. Sally shares wisdom learned before marrying the man on her list through the fictitious characters in the story.

Narrative as Social Practice
Author: Danièle M. Klapproth
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110197421
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
Narrative as Social Practice sets out to explore the complex and fascinating interrelatedness of narrative and culture. It does so by contrasting the oral storytelling traditions of two widely divergent cultures - Anglo-Western culture and the Central Australian culture of the Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Aborigines. Combining discourse-analytical and pragmalinguistic methodologies with the perspectives of ethnopoetics and the ethnography of communication, this book presents a highly original and engaging study of storytelling as a vital communicative activity at the heart of socio-cultural life. The book is concerned with both theoretical and empirical issues. It engages critically with the theoretical framework of social constructivism and the notion of social practice, and it offers critical discussions of the most influential theories of narrative put forward in Western thinking. Arguing for the adoption of a communication-oriented and cross-cultural perspective as a prerequisite for improving our understanding of the cultural variability of narrative practice, Klapproth presents detailed textual analyses of Anglo-Western and Australian Aboriginal oral narratives, and contextualizes them with respect to the different storytelling practices, values and worldviews in both cultures. Narrative as Social Practice offers new insights to students and specialists in the fields of narratology, discourse analysis, cross-cultural pragmatics, anthropology, folklore study, the ethnography of communication, and Australian Aboriginal studies.

Thinking in Promises
Author: Mark Burgess
Publisher: "O'Reilly Media, Inc."
ISBN: 1491918497
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Imagine a set of simple principles that could help you to understand how parts combine to become a whole, and how each part sees the whole from its own perspective. If such principles were any good, it shouldn’t matter whether we’re talking about humans on a team, birds in a flock, computers in a datacenter, or cogs in a Swiss watch. A theory of cooperation ought to be pretty universal, so we should be able to apply it both to technology and to the workplace. Such principles are the subject of Promise Theory, and the focus of this insightful book. The goal of Promise Theory is to reveal the behavior of a whole from the sum of its parts, taking the viewpoint of the parts rather than the whole. In other words, it is a bottom-up, constructionist view of the world. Start Thinking in Promises and find out why this discipline works for documenting system behaviors from the bottom-up.
