Gwyneth Lewis
Two in a Boat: The True Story of a Marital Rite of Passage

2007 y.
Publisher: Harper Perennial
Description: When she was in her forties, recovering from depression and alcoholism, Gwyneth Lewis, the National Poet of Wales, decided to trade in her landlubber existence-a house in Cardiff and a responsible job at the BBC-for life at sea with her husband, Leighton, a former bosun with the Merchant Navy. After buying a small yacht (called Jameeleh) and teaching themselves to sail it (a process not without its fair share of disasters), they set out to cross the Atlantic. But Gwyneth`s seasickness and Leighton`s astonishing transformation into Captain Bligh were just the beginning in a series of outrageous catastrophes, both maritime and marital. A truly unique memoir, both witty and wise, `Two in a Boat` is Gwyneth Lewis`s strange, stirring, and often hilarious account of their voyage-at once a wholly original, relentlessly entertaining beginner`s guide to the art of sailing and an unforgettable portrait of a marriage under pressure.

Peter Smith
Two of Us : The Story of a Father, a Son, and the Beatles

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionBefore seven-year-old Sam Smith discovered the Beatles, he and his father had little in common. Like so many other kids his age, Sam was drawn first to the Fab Four by their trivia as much as by their music and personalities. Peter Smith was content to point Sam to all the clues of Paul McCartney`s putative demise, to reveal who `Julia` was, and so forth. But soon the Beatles opened the two Smiths to each other, and to a harmonious new friendship. They found themselves using the band`s songs and exploits to fuel discussions of life`s splendid complications -- friendship, teamwork, romance, art -- and its inevitable sorrows -- failure, betrayal, and mortality. Music fans will delight in this singular celebration of the Beatles` historyand continuing cross-generational appeal. Smith takes us everywhere the Fab Four took him and Sam: from the boy`s Beatle-drenched bedroom to the circus of devotion that is Beatlefest to Paul McCartney`s childhood bedroom in a Liverpool… [detailed...]

John Terpstra
Two or Three Guitars: Selected Poems

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the emergence of his first collection in 1982, John Terpstra has gained recognition as a poet of great precision, compassion and attentiveness. With a fascination for geology, family, heritage, community and faith, he has trained his eye variously on his Hamilton neighbourhood, his Dutch background, the joys and peculiarities of marriage and parenting, as well as on issues of environmental degradation, local economy, security, society and questions of hope. This collection brings together highlights from each of Terpstra’s full-length publications, from Scrabbling for Repose (1982) to Disarmament (2003). Says Terpstra, “Many of these poems have fallen off the literary wagon, so to speak, by being in books that are now out of print. But I return to them when I give readings. It’s gratifying, and a bit surprising, to read a poem written twenty-five years ago and feel no disjunction between it and a more recent poem. It encourages a sense… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Two-sided matching provides a model of search processes such as those between firms and workers in labor markets or between buyers and sellers in auctions. This book gives a comprehensive account of recent results concerning the game-theoretic analysis of two-sided matching. The focus of the book is on the stability of outcomes, on the incentives that different rules of organization give to agents, and on the constraints that these incentives impose on the ways such markets can be organized. The results for this wide range of related models and matching situations help clarify which conclusions depend on particular modeling assumptions and market conditions, and which are robust over a wide range of conditions.

Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Text messaging has spread like wildfire, especially among young people, who appear to spend most of their time texting, and are unwilling to write much else. Indeed the phenomena is so widespread that many parents, teachers, and media pundits have been outspoken in their criticism of it. Does texting spell the end of western civilization? In this humorous, level-headed and insightful book, David Crystal argues that the panic over texting is misplaced. Crystal, a world renowned linguist and prolific author on the uses and abuses of English, here looks at every aspect of the phenomenon of text-messaging and considers its effects on literacy, language, and society. He explains how texting began, how it works, who uses it, and how much it is used, and he shows how to interpret the mixture of pictograms, logograms, abbreviations, symbols, and wordplay typically used in texting. He looks at its manifestations in different languages, and explores the ways similar devices have been… [detailed...]

Type &, Typography

2005 y.
Publisher: Laurence King
Description: Since the advent of personal computers, desktop publishing and the more recent development of the World Wide Web, millions of people have become accustomed to using fonts and working with type, but anyone asked to explain what typography was might feel at a loss, unclear of its boundaries or possibilities. Typography is concerned with the structuring and arranging of visual language. Type design is concerned with the creation of the units to be arranged, the characters which make up a typeface. Both typeform and typography are designed to convey a message. This latter aspect places typography firmly at the root of the broader discipline of graphic design. The question of how typography is used to convey a message can be divided into two. The first part concerns typography`s appearance or style. This differs according to time and place, or designer and client: at times typography may play a secondary or even invisible role, at others it may dominate, reflecting the inspiration of… [detailed...]

Type 2 : A Book of Support for Type 2 Diabetics

Description: Book Description An estimated 16 million Americans (more than 7 percent of the population) suffer from Type 2 diabetes—a shocking increase of 49 percent since 1990. Of all the major diseases, diabetes is the ultimate self-help condition, for diet and exercise are the keys to combating it. However, Type 2 is also an inordinately lonely and confusing disease. It’s hard not to feel isolated when so many social events center around food and drink that may be off-limits to diabetics. And because there’s no one-size-fits-all diet, because symptoms are often hidden, and because the impact of uncontrolled diabetes is usually years away, diabetics can feel adrift as they search for answers. Even maintaining an exercise routine may be impeded by depression, which often accompanies the disease. Diabetes is even more challenging on an emotional level because diabetics have few support groups to turn to. Standing out among hundreds of books on diabetes, Type 2… [detailed...]
