Book Description
Sometimes you need a little help, even if you don’t want to ask for it. Will is…enduring. With a sick sister at home and university to get through, he still spends most of his time smiling as if everything is fine. Until he meets ‘the others’. Suddenly, everything Will knows is thrown out of the window, and he has to start all over. But maybe that leaves room for some hope. Rules don’t apply to Will’s new friends. Does that mean they can save his little sister? If she can be helped, maybe Will can be helped too. Lorna Stevenson, born and raised in Edinburgh, ideated the original concept for Knowing Them as she was settling in Dundee to begin her studies. The idea grew as she did, as she was going from studying architecture to finding her way to psychology while in Dundee. This book was written in several coffee shops and worked on until Lorna finally felt ready to share her characters and their story with you all.

You Shall Know Them
Author: Vercors
Publisher: Stacey International
ISBN: 9780955915673
Category : Hominids
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
CLASSIC FICTION. The Paranthropus ("tropi" for short) are a large tribe of New Guinea cliff-dwellers. Simian in many of their physical characteristics, they are normally erect in stance, though happy to drop to all fours at a moment's notice. Australian wool interests see the tropis as a dream come true--workers who can be trained without benefit of paycheck. Newspaperman Douglas Templemore is an idealist--by killing his son (bred by artificial insemination of a female tropi), he hopes to cause a riot in the realm of race relations. Is he a murderer or merely an owner of a pet, which he has "put to sleep?" As he comes up for trial scientific experts file into the witness box; none agreeing on what constitutes a human being. Is man to be defined by his jawbone? By his rational capacity? By his grasp of metaphysics? Or is the judge right when he muses (without a trace of cynicism) that the tropis must be animals because they are not cannibals?

Time To Know Them
Author: Marilyn S. Sternglass
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136684743
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
In a time of declining resources in institutions of higher education, we grapple with how priorities are to be set for the limited resources available. Most vulnerable are those students labeled underprepared by colleges and universities. Should we argue that the limited resources available ought to be used to support these students through their undergraduate years? And, if we decide that we want to do that, what evidence of their potential for success can we provide that will justify the use of these resources? Through longitudinal research that follows students who have been so labeled over all their college years, we can begin to find answers to these questions. Time to Know Them is the first book that follows the experiences of a group of students over their entire academic experience. No previous studies have brought together the factors incorporated in this study: *examining writing and learning on a true longitudinal basis; *studying a multicultural urban population; *investigating the relationship between writing and learning by examining papers written over time for regularly assigned academic courses across a range of disciplines; and *taking into consideration non-academic factors that influence academic performance such as race, gender, socio-economic status, and ideological orientation. Through interviews twice a semester over six years, the collection of papers written for all courses, observations of instructional settings, and analysis of required institutional tests of writing, the author has been able to pull together a more complete picture of writing and intellectual development over the college years than has previously been available in any study. Students are seen to acquire the ability to handle more complex reasoning tasks as they find themselves in more challenging intellectual settings and where risk-taking and exploration of new ideas are valued. The integration of students' previous life experiences into their academic studies allows them to analyze, critique, modify, and apply their previously held world views to their new learning. These changes are seen to occur over time with instructional settings and support providing key roles in writing development. Personal factors in students' lives present difficulties that require persistence and dedication to overcome. Never before have the complexities of real individual lives as they affect academic performance been so clearly presented.

Pararealities: The Nature of Our Fictions and How We Know Them
Author: Floyd Merrell
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027280290
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
The objective of this study is to inquire, from a broad epistemological view, into the underlying nature of fictions, and above all, to discover how it is possible to create and process them. In Chapter One, I put forth four "postulates" in the form of though experiments. in Chapter Two I turn attention to make-believe, imaginary, and dream worlds, and how they can be conceived and perceived only with respect to the/a "real world." Chapter Three includes a discussion of the affinities and differences between one's tacit knowledge of certain aspects of the number system in arithmetic (an ordered series) and the range of all possible fictional entities (an unordered network). In Chapter Four I establish more precisely the relations between one's "real world" and one's fictional worlds in light of the conclusions from Chapter Three. And, in Chapter Five, I attempt to construct a formal model with which to account for the construction of all possible fictional sentences.
