Book Description
Have you ever listened to the song of a white swan? The ancient Celts believed that the inhabitants of the Otherworld, wishing to revisit their earthly counterparts, often took the form of the great white bird. If we could only understand their haunting cries, perhaps we could realize the secrets of this life, and the next. The White Swans of Fal is a book of new beginnings, a renewal of the soul. Elizabeth Harrowsmith and William De Logos are forever bound by a force they do not fully understand. After their untimely deaths in the 15th century, they are reawakened in 17th century Ireland as Gillian, the daughter of English nobility, and Fionn, an Irish peasant. William and Elizabeth are now confronted with the impossible: reuniting their flesh beings and teaching them the meaning of life.

Ducks, Geese and Swans
Author: Janet Kear
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780198610083
Category : Anseriformes
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
"Wildfowl and screamers belong to a highly diverse family of birds, confined to watery habitats. They are amongst the most attractive of birds and are very well-known to man, who has domesticated them, used their feathers for warm clothing and ornamentation, admired their flight, courtship and migration, caught them for food, maintained them in captivity for pleasure, and written about their doings in delightful children's stories, from Mother Goose to Jemima Puddleduck and Donald Duck. They occur throughout the world except Antarctica. Some are faithful to the same partner for life, others for only the few minutes of copulation. In some species, male and female make devoted parents, and yet there is one within the group whose female lays her eggs in the nests of others and never incubates. Diving as a method of obtaining food has evolved many times within the family. Most nest in the open but others in the tree-hole nests of woodpeckers and some in the ground burrows of rabbits or aardvarks. They may be highly social or solitary, defending a large territory." -- publisher website.

Corpus linguistics
Author: Stefanowitsch, Anatol
Publisher: Language Science Press
ISBN: 3961102244
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
Corpora are used widely in linguistics, but not always wisely. This book attempts to frame corpus linguistics systematically as a variant of the observational method. The first part introduces the reader to the general methodological discussions surrounding corpus data as well as the practice of doing corpus linguistics, including issues such as the scientific research cycle, research design, extraction of corpus data and statistical evaluation. The second part consists of a number of case studies from the main areas of corpus linguistics (lexical associations, morphology, grammar, text and metaphor), surveying the range of issues studied in corpus linguistics while at the same time showing how they fit into the methodology outlined in the first part.

Statistical Analysis for the Social Sciences
Author: Norman R. Kurtz
Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
People are bombarded with statistical data every day, but not many have had training in how to interpret or analyze this information. Kurtz's accessible writing style provides a basic yet sophisticated introduction to understanding and analyzing statistical applications. The book gives careful attention to the flow of ideas and concepts so there is a stream of logic which flows throughout, adding to the book's readability. The book begins with a discussion of methods for describing the distribution of a variable. The introduction of probability avoids the traditional discussion of the basic laws of probability, providing instead an explanation which can be directly applied in the everyday use of statistical probability. The discussion of the book is focused primarily on the relationship of probability to outcomes. Sociologists, psychologists, social workers, political scientists, educators, as well as anyone who wants to analyze data.

Objections to Evolution
Author: Nirushan Sivanesan
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666776351
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
The theory of evolution, as proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859, has been plagued by controversy and criticisms since its inception. But in the Western world at least, the fight seems to be almost over, with evolution being seen by many as a sealed deal. The theory has made its way into science textbooks and has firmly lodged itself there. Could this be the biggest mistake the scientific community has ever made? Objections to Evolution addresses this question. It reexamines the evidence for evolution and brings forth a new case against it from a nonreligious perspective. This case contains completely unique and thought-provoking ideas, arguments, and theories. It asks and answers fundamental questions, which have not been addressed previously, and attempts to create a revolution in the way we think about our origins.
