The Anthologist’s Art
Author: Bilal Orfali
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900431735X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Why did premodern authors in the Arabic-Islamic culture compile literary anthologies, and why were these works remarkably popular? How can an anthology that consists of reproduced material be original and creative, and serve various literary and political ends? How did anthologists select their material, then record and arrange it? This book examines the life and works of Abū Manṣūr al-Thaʿālibī (350–429/961–1039), an eminent anthologist from Nīshāpūr, paying special attention to his magnum opus, Yatīmat al-dahr (The Unique Pearl), and its sequel, Tatimmat al-Yatīma (The Completion of the Yatīma). This book is a direct window on to an anthologist’s workshop in the second half of the fourth/tenth century. It examines the methodological consciousness expressed in Thaʿālibī’s selection and arrangement, and his sophisticated system of internal references and cross-references to other works; how he selected from his contemporaries’ oeuvres; how he sought, recorded, memorized, misplaced, and sometimes lost or forgot his selections; how he scrutinized the authenticity of material, accepting, questioning, or rejecting its attribution; and the errors and inconsistencies that resulted from this process.

A Spoonful of Sugar
Author: Raymond Rowe
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780789030757
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Find out WHO said WHAT about pharmacists and the work they do A Spoonful of Sugar is a collection of quotations from sources as diverse as Shakespeare, Pope John Paul II, and Gilbert and Sullivan that comment on the work and profession of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. This enlightening book is divided into 30 chapters by individual topics and grouped by subject matter that includes medicines at the pharmacist’s disposal, the adversaries he faces, his labors, and the scientific basis of modern medicines. The quotes—which are also indexed by author—reference everything from aspirin to coughs to emulsions, providing an enlightening read that doubles as a quick and reliable classroom resource. Editors Ray Rowe and Joseph Chamberlain draw on their combined experience of nearly 70 years working in the pharmaceutical industry and pharmaceutical publishing to present more than 1,000 entries from scientists and health professionals, educators and economists, clerics and poets—even advertising slogans! Their criteria for selection is just as diverse, listing quotes that are thought-provoking, influential, witty, memorable, and even pithy. The editors provide a detailed index of keywords to help you find a half-remembered quote and whenever possible, a brief reference to the source of the quotation is included. Some examples from A Spoonful of Sugar: “Give me an ounce of civit, good apothecary, to sweeten my imagination.”—Shakespeare “A skilful leech is better far than half a hundred men of war.”—Samuel Butler, English satirist “What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson “A man of very moderate ability may be a good physician, if he devotes himself faithfully to the work.”—Oliver Wendell Holmes “The art of medicine consists of amusing the patients while Nature cures the disease.”—Voltaire “There are two kinds of statistics: the kind you look up and the kind you make up.”—Rex Stout, American writer “When meditating over a disease, I never think of finding a remedy for it, but instead, a means of preventing it.”—Louis Pasteur and many more! A Spoonful of Sugar is an entertaining and enlightening reference resource for practicing pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists, and for anyone interested in the pharmaceutical fields.

Author: Joseph W. Lewis Jr. M.D.
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 152464787X
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 719
Book Description
The author has assembled a collection of 3,676 last words from a select group of individuals as they faced their approaching demise. This compilation illuminates a group of beings ranging from convicted criminals to the most holy. Some serenely committed their souls to a higher being while others railed against oncoming death. Many are famous, some are notorious, and others blur into a less well-defined subgroup. The majority of entries consist of final spoken words, but a few wills, epitaphs, diaries, and last letters are also included in this collection. A brief sketch of each person includes birth and death dates, country of origin, and a short biographical sketch. Farewells spoken after the turn of the twenty-first century ensure that this compilation has some of the most up-to-date material in this genre.
