Description: Book DescriptionSpeaking in the wake of empire, of terrestrial love, and of the collapse of traditional literary forms, the protagonist of this collection of poetry reconstructs a world from the language of encyclopedias, instruction manuals, and the literary legacies of Wallace Stevens, W.

Mobilizing traditional literary forms such as terza rima and the villanelle while simultaneously exploring the poetics of prose and other `formless` modes, Facts for Visitors re-negotiates the impasse between traditional and experimental approaches to writing.

Facts on File Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins (Writers Library)

2008 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: In this entertaining compendium, Robert Hendrickson, author of numerous popular works on language and literature, traces the sometimes bizarre and always fascinating origins and developments of more than 9,000 words and phrases, including slang, proverbs, animal and plant names, place names, nicknames, historical expressions, foreign-language expressions, and more. The emphasis throughout is on words and expressions with origins that are not adequately explained-or not addressed at all-in standard dictionaries. This greatly expanded and revised version of the critically acclaimed 1987 original offers more than 2,000 new entries, including: paparazzi: Director Frederico Fellini named a hyperactive photographer in his film La Dolce Vita Signore Paparazzo, after Italian slang for `mosquito`. The popularity of Fellini`s film led to the widespread use of the term paparazzi for relentless swarms of celebrity-chasing photographers.

Faculty at Work : Motivation, Expectation, Satisfaction

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book Description In recent years, college and university faculty members have witnessed a marked change in institutional climate. Competition has replaced collegiality. Criticism of faculty from outside the university has increased in both volume and intensity. The litigious larger society has arrived on campus with a vengeance. In this ground-breaking volume, Robert Blackburn and Janet Lawrence respond to these developments by showing how faculty and administrators can benefit from learning how to make motivation, expectation, and satisfaction function in concert when faculty are at work. With the ultimate goal of helping faculty and administrators make effective and positive decisions, Blackburn and Lawrence explain and predict faculty behaviorin three key areas: research, teaching, and service and scholarship. The authors use what they have learned as a springboard for speculating on the future of faculty work. [detailed...]

Faded Dreams: The Politics and Economics of Race in America

Ч y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Faded Dreams paints a new and challenging picture of how racial inequality has evolved in America. Martin Carnoy shows that three dominant views of economic differences between blacks and whites--that blacks are individually responsible for not taking advantage of market opportunities, that the world economy has changed in ways that puts blacks at a tremendous disadvantage compared to whites, and that pervasive racism is holding blacks down--do not adequately explain why blacks made such large gains in the past and stopped making them in the 1980s and 1990s. Using a systematic analysis of fifty years of data on income, education, and the variety of jobs that both blacks and whites have held, Faded Dreams offers a powerful argument for active government intervention to improve the education and living conditions of disadvantaged black children.

Fadlallah : The Making of a Radical Shi`ite Leader

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book Description This unique book traces the trajectory of the most prominent figure of modern Islam - from his early intellectual development through his scholastic and political career - against a background of cultural, political and economic upheaval in Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon. Demonized by the West, and denounced by Muslim conservatives for his `moderation` and `innovation` Sayyid Fadlallah was one of the first Islamic figures to condemn the events of 9/11, while at the same time criticising America`s role in the Middle East. Fadlallah is regarded by many as the spiritual leader of the Islamist party Hizbollah, which is still classified as a terrorist organisation by the United States though it has become more mainstream of late, sponsoring social programs for the poor and banning terrorist tactics. It`s clear that Fadlallah`s emergence as one of the world`s pre-eminent Islamists would have taken place despite, rather than because of his affinity withЕ [detailed...]

Faeries and Other Fantastical Folk: The Faery Paintings of Maxine Gadd

2006 y.
Publisher: Artist`s and Photographers` Press Ltd
Description: A breathtaking showcase of Maxine Gadd`s whimsical, colorful fairy paintings. Her highly detailed work has appeared before in anthologies, but this is the first book dedicated to Gadd alone - and it`s exquisitely produced, bound in rich red cloth and with matte art paper, padded front board, and gilt edges on the pages. What a treat for fans of fantasy art, who have already turned other titles on fairies into bestsellers: very few painters have managed to capture this unseen world so completely. Looking at the pictures - sometimes shimmering, sometimes eerie - you can practically hear boughs creak, leaves rustle, small wings flurry, and voices chatter in a tongue unknown to mortals. Commentary by the ever-popular John Grant, aimed at `believers,` enhances the images. [detailed...]

Fahrenheit 451: A Novel

2003 y.
Publisher: Simon &, Schuster
Description: Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of this timeless classic with a special edition featuring a new introduction by the author and a message that is more relevant today than when it was first published. Since the late 1940s, Ray Bradbury has been revered for his works of science fiction and fantasy. With more than five million copies in print, Fahrenheit 451 -- originally published in 1953 -- remains his most acclaimed work. Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book paper burns. Fahrenheit 451 is a novel set in the (perhaps near) future when `firemen` burn books forbidden by a totalitarian `brave new world` regime. The hero, according to Mr. Bradbury, is `a book burner who suddenly discovers that books are flesh-and-blood ideas and cry out silently when put to the torch.` Today, when libraries and schools in this country and all over the world are still `burning` certain books, Fahrenheit 451 remains a brilliantly readable and suspenseful work of evenЕ [detailed...]

Description: In our rush to succeed, few of us see the merit in failure.
