Book Description
Looking around at the people beside me, I felt envious. No doubt, none of these people ever had to fight for their life. None of these people had been tortured for something they didn't even do. None of these people were stressed out over the fact that the whole government wanted them dead and that if kidnapped, Bruttons would have no way of escaping. None of these people had a life remotely close to mine, or the ugly scars and bruises to prove it. Ceremonies are generally a day marked for celebration. But for Daisy it is a day when the rest of her life will be decided. The friends she has and the people she's known for her entire life will be split up and shipped off to one of two different cities. Bellezas are provided with a beautiful life in paradise, while Bruttons are imprisoned in the slums of Vulcan City and forced to be personal organ donors for Bellezas. What would you do if the world you knew, the people you loved, and your way of life was ripped away from you in a matter of moments? Would you fight for what you believe in, for what you know is right? Apollian is on the brink of a revolution. Does Daisy have what it takes to lead her people to freedom?

Creating Television brings television and its creators to life, presenting fascinating in-depth interviews with the creators of American TV.

Revival: A Modern Introduction to Logic (1950)
Author: Lizzie Susan Stebbing
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351349074
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
As the author of this volume states, "the science of logic does not stand still." This book was intended to cover the advances made in the study of logic in the first half of the nineteenth century, during which time the author felt there to have been greater advances made than in the whole of the preceding period from the time of Aristotle. Advances which, in her eyes, were not present in contemporary text books. As such, this book offers a valuable insight into the progress of the subject, tracing this frenetic period in its development with a first-hand awareness of its documentary value.
