The Lemonade War

Editura: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH)

Anul aparitiei: 2009

3, Here is a clever blend of humor, math wizardry, and business know-how. As it captures the one-of-a-kind bond between brother and sister, this poignant novel also subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone's intent. For a full hour, he poured lemonade. The world is a thirsty place, he thought as he nearly emptied his fourth pitcher of the day. And I am the Lemonade King. Evan Treski is people-smart. He's good at talking with people, even grownups. His younger sister Jessie, on the other hand, is math-smart--but not especially good at understanding people. She knows that feelings are her weakest subject. With just five days left of summer vacation, Evan and Jessie launch an all-out war to see who can sell the most lemonade before school starts. As the battleground heats up, there really is no telling who will win--and even more important, if their fight will ever end. The six books in this fun-to-read series are: The Lemonade WarThe Lemonade Crime The Bell Bandit The Candy Smash The Magic Trap The Bridge Battle

The third installment of the popular Lemonade War series finds siblings Evan and Jessie Treski at their grandmother's Vermont house for the holidays, solving another mystery.Everything about this trip to Grandma's house was different: First, because of the fire, Mrs. Treski, Evan, and Jessie had driven up to Grandma's two days after Christmas instead of the day before, missing Christmas with Grandma entirely.Second, the fire had left a hole in the back kitchen wall big enough to drive a car through! And with Grandma in the hospital and not in her house, everything felt off.Third, someone had climbed the long, slow slope of Lovell Hill to the top and had stolen the old iron bell hanging on its heavy wooden crossbeam.Who on earth would steal the New Year's Bell?

Anul aparitiei: 1996

Dear Reader, Here is your book. Take it, run with it, pass it, punt it, enjoy all the many things that you can do with it, but-above all-read it. Like all textbooks, it was written to help you increase your knowledge; unlike all too many textbooks that you have bought, it will be fun to read. A preface usually tells of the author's reasons for writing the book and the author's goals for the reader, followed by a swarm of other important matters that must be attended to yet fit nowhere else in the book. I am fortunate in being able to include an insightful prepublication review that goes directly to my motivations and goals. (Look for it following this preface.) That leaves only those other important matters. In preparing the text, I consulted a number of books, chief of which included these: - S. Chandrasekhar, Ellipsoidal Figures of Equilibrium, Yale Uni- versity Press, 1969. - J .M.A. Danby, Fundamentals of Celestial Mechanics, Macmil- lan, 1962. Now available in a 2nd edition, 3rd printing, revised, corrected and enlarged, Willmann-Bell, 1992. - Y.

A Walk to the River in Amazonia: Ordinary Reality for the Mehinaku Indians

Editura: BERGHAHN BOOKS INC

Anul aparitiei: 2011

It's a great book... The focussing in on the 'feel' of life, the small everyday things, struck me as hugely important. The fascinating conundrums of original and spirit copy.... The simplicity and grace of the writing. Michael Taussig, Columbia University The book's integration of cosmology with everyday Mehinaku practice, along with its concise and evocative writing style, makes for an important contribution to Amazonian anthropology ... Stang's book is one of the best examples of how Amazonian research today is beginning to bridge the previous gap between studies of seemingly abstract cosmology and fine-grained ethnography of everyday practice. JRAI ...an extraordinary ethnographic work... outstanding - in the audacious naturalism of its form, the compelling way in which Stang reads Mehinaku reality between the lines, capturing the flow and fluctuations of consciousness as well as the materiality and physicality of their existence. Michael Jackson, Harvard University This is an important study both as ethnography and as an interpretive achievement. To my mind there is no better study from Amazonia that elucidates specifically the archetypal scheme of reality which is an ...

The Fig Tree & the Bell

Editura: MCGRAW HILL BOOK CO

Anul aparitiei: 2011

This book, written for the curious, peace-seeking reader, shows how universal notions developed through the study of natural complexity, such as multiplicative cascades, bifurcations, chaos, fractal transformations, and self-organized criticality, reveal an impartial, coherent framework to visualize the dynamics and consequences of mankind's actions, including the vital options of order and disorder, peace and anxiety, and unity and division, which we all confront in our lives. Drawing an unforeseen link between the scientific principles and extensive Biblical analysis, Carlos Puente explains how the notions establish a dependable all-inclusive bridge to Christian faith, as the desirable condition for a simple yet fulfilling saintly life can only be attained in the root, the straight, the origin, and the positive, satisfying a few unconventional but memorable geometric adages, as "cut the mountains and fill the valleys," "come down the chaotic tree," "let your transformation be positive and unitive," and "let zero be your power," which summarize LOVE to God and neighbor. Three video presentations about the contents of the book and under the title "The vital role of science in the ...

Koelner Zunftprozesse VOR Dem Reichskammergericht

Editura: BELL BRIDGE BOOKS

Anul aparitiei: 2008

Das deutsche Zunftwesen ist bisher rechtshistorisch kaum erforscht. Für seine Spätzeit hat sich gleichwohl die These durchgesetzt, das dirigistische Zunftsystem sei innovationsfeindlich und nur auf den Erhalt bestehender Privilegien bedacht gewesen. Zu welchen Konflikten dies führte und wie diese ausgetragen wurden, bleibt zumeist unklar. Hier setzt diese Arbeit an. Durch eine detaillierte Analyse der anwaltlichen Schriftsätze wird dem Leser ein lebendiges Bild von Zunftprozessen vermittelt. Dabei mag es erstaunen, wie erbittert die Zünfte über vermeintliche Lappalien jahrelange sehr kostspielige Prozesse führten, um ihre alten Zunftprivilegien zu verteidigen. Im Köln des 18. Jahrhunderts war der Kampf um die Nahrung jedoch Alltag für viele Handwerker. Durch Privilegien abgesicherte exklusive Arbeitsbereiche waren daher von existentieller Bedeutung. Es zeigt sich, da es die Zünfte selbst in einer Stadt wie Köln, deren Verfassung auf dem Zunftsystem basierte, zunehmend schwerer hatten, ihre überkommenen Privilegien zu verteidigen.

Last Stand at Mobile

Editura: HARPER COLLINS

Anul aparitiei: 2002

Admiral David Farragut eyed a potentially lethal minefield guarding the entrance to Mobile Bay, Alabama, as his attack column of ironclad monitors rushed forward, opening the assault against the Confederate citadels on shore. One vessel, the USS Tecumseh, looked every inch an invincible monster. As the sleek, turreted warship drew close to its Rebel enemies, a geyser of water shot up on its starboard side followed by a muffled rumble. The ship heeled over and sank in seconds, carried to its watery doom by its own war-speed and momentum. Crewmen aboard the rest of the Union ships looked on in horror. "Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!" Admiral David Farragut shouted from the bridge of the USS Hartford as he sensed the growing panic among his sailors. As the vessel churned forward the primer caps of primitive but deadly naval "Torpedoes"-dubbed "infernal machines" by the men who faced them-snapped and popped beneath the Yankee ships but failed to explode. Despite the threat of instant and violent death, the Hartford pressed on, inspiring the rest of the fleet and leading toward ultimate victory. These words, some of the most famous in American history, were written in fire and ...
