Book Description
LaFaye surpasses the lyricism and emotional depth of her sparkling debut, The Year of the Sawdust Man, in this sequel. It's been two years since Nissa's mother, Heirah Rae, left the family and Depression-era Harper, La., for a new life in Chicago. Nissa, now 13, believes she must preserve her mother's presence in the household. When Heirah Rae calls home to announce her birthday gift to Nissa, a trip to Chicago, she upsets the tenuous relationship between Nissa, her father, Ivar, and her stepmother, Lara. Still feeling abandoned but hungry for time with her mother, Nissa decides to travel back to Chicago with Heirah Rae, who shows up on their doorstep. During her stay in Chicago, Nissa notes how her mother has blossomed away from Harper's nosy scandalmongers. LaFaye achieves just the right balance between Nissa's introspection and the adventures she has with her mother. The intricate prose mirrors the fragile complexity of Nissa's feelings about returning to Harper: ""My heart shrunk a little as the train pulled away, but I knew I'd made the right choice. I could feel it like a warm blanket on a cold nightAa tight, satisfied feeling deep down inside strong enough to carry me home."" Readers will be moved as Nissa comes to view Heirah Rae's flight as an act of courage and a spur for Nissa to make her own dream of a library in Harper come true is most successful when he mixes his different approaches into the original sort of magic realism he creates in the title tale, which concerns an erotically charged encounter between a virginal Irish au pair, Nula, and a Moroccan student, Henri Tatahouine, in Paris. The hallucinatory quality of Henri's account of his life leaves Nula emotionally blistered, as though she had been in the Sahara. The comic, horrifying """"Cats in Space,"""" which tells the tale of a group of kids who use helium balloons to launch a kitten into the air, is similarly effective. Though uneven, Kalfus's collection is ambitious and daring, with smart, fluid prose and an abundance of surprises.

Language Faculty Science
Author: Hajime Hoji
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316352048
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
This book explores how we can aspire to accumulate knowledge about the language faculty in line with Feynman's 'The test of all knowledge is experiment'. The two pillars of the proposed methodology for language faculty science are the internalist approach advocated by Chomsky and what Feynman calls the 'Guess-Compute-Compare' method. Taking the internalist approach, the book is concerned with the I-language of an individual speaker. Adopting the Guess-Compute-Compare method, it aims at deducing definite predictions and comparing them with experimental results. It offers a conceptual articulation of how we deduce definite predictions about the judgments of an individual speaker on the basis of universal and language-particular hypotheses and how we obtain experimental results precisely in accordance with such predictions. In pursuit of rigorous testability and reproducibility, the experimental demonstration in the book is supplemented by an accompanying website which provides the details of all the experiments discussed in the book.

ISBN:
Category : Law

Pages : 1120
Book Description
This casebook covers all topics in the first-year canon of civil procedure, and some topics in advanced litigation classes (e.g., class actions, appeals). It is organized with the reality and complexities of civil litigation in mind, and follows the litigation sequence, from pleading through preclusion. Each chapter takes a practical as well as analytical approach, through (a) a series of Supreme Court and lower court opinions, (b) notes preceding and following those opinions intended to explain the underlying doctrines and principles behind them, and (c) problems intended to assess and refine students’ understanding of doctrines and their rationales. Ultimately, this casebook demands that students read carefully and at a detailed level, analyze critically, and apply the law from the perspective of the theories underlying the various doctrines. It provides an effective vehicle through which to teach legal analysis and to gently nudge students forward and deeper into the materials. New to the 6th Edition: The 6th edition has been streamlined—about 13% shorter It includes: An introductory overview of the litigation process Relevant Supreme Court decisions up through the close of the October 2021 Term Updated lower court opinions New and revised Problems Benefits for instructors and students: The inclusion of over 200 problems, including detailed review problems at the end of each chapter Progressive coverage of doctrine that takes the students from the basics to a more sophisticated appreciation of the principles and the theories An organization that is designed to promote learning and a full appreciation of the law of procedure Annual statutory and case supplement A demanding and analytical approach to the first-year procedure canon

Les épileptiques ne se cachent plus pour guérir
Author: René Soulayrol

ISBN: 9782742005130
Category : Children
Languages : en
Pages : 816
Book Description
Cet ouvrage n'est pas un livre sur l'épilepsie, mais sur l'épileptique et sa psychopathologie. Un dialogue s'engage entre un pédopsychiatre proche de la retraite et une jeune femme, ancienne épileptique, qu'il avait soignée, quand elle était enfant. Elle lui demande des informations sur " ce qui s'est passé ", lui signifiant qu'elle veut avoir, non seulement des précisions médicales sur les symptômes, les mécanismes et les causes de son épilepsie, mais aussi sur les bouleversements qu'elle a provoqués au plus profond d'elle-même dans la construction et le fonctionnement de sa personnalité. Lui, au cours de sa carrière, s'est toujours demandé si l'histoire personnelle de ses patients et la façon dont ils " vivent " leur épilepsie pouvaient donner du sens à celle-ci. Un sens exploitable à des fins psychothérapeutiques qui compléterait le traitement médicamenteux et lui donnerait toute son efficacité. L'occasion de cette rencontre est trop belle et les voilà qui s'engagent l'un et l'autre dans un dialogue de treize entretiens au cours desquels sont évoquées du point de vue du patient et du point de vue du médecin les questions que l'un et l'autre se posent à propos de cette étrange maladie des neurones mais qui saisit l'Être tout entier.
