You can make all the plans you will, plot to make a fortune in the commodities market, speculate on developing trends: all will likely come to naught, for "however carefully you plan for the future, someone else’s actions will inevitably modify the way your plans turn out." So writes the English scholar and documentary producer James Burke in his sparkling book Connections, a favorite of historically minded readers ever since its first publication in 1978. Taking a hint from Jacob Bronowski’s Ascent of Man, Burke charts the course of technological innovation from ancient times to t

What many people refer to as once-in-a-lifetime occurrences, Gabrielle Roth explains is actually intuition. By weaving the five threads of intuitive wisdom into our lives, it is possible to live secure in the knowledge of who we are, where we’re going, and how we’re going to get there.

The purpose of this book is to look for a richer means of communication in the classroom than the almost exclusive use of discursive language. It specifically focuses on the teaching of aesthetic appreciations, and offers presentational symbolism as a complement to discursive language. Part I locates some key descriptions and definitions of various kinds of language in the works of Huyghe, Langer, Wheelwright and Denton. It also stresses the limitations of discursive language and then focuses on the inability of discursive language to communicate appreciative feelings. Part II offers a semiolo

The purpose of the volume is to enable researchers to link their immigrant ancestors’ first whereabouts in America with their port of embarkation in Scotland, and thus possibly the emigrant’s region of origin. Based mostly on sailings documented in contemporary Scottish newspapers,
