Children's & YAJanuary 2020The World Around Us
by Galyna Guzovska-Korytska (Author), Lyudmyla Kharlamova (Illustrator)
We must see the world from the standpoint of everything that surrounds us, of what we encounter every day, for us to truly understand the issues in our lives, the situations we find ourselves in, and how to address them properly. In our individualistic world, however, we do not always manage to think about what is truly important. The World Around Us motivates young readers to deeply examine their values, to recognise the negative actions of the characters in her stories, and to look for a positive approach to the world that surrounds them. The World Around Us consists of 16 stories, each of which is associated with a specific thematic word such as friendship, the future, wisdom… it is up to the young readers to think the stories through their keywords, and by doing so, they will develop their feelings of empathy, decency, kindness, humanity, and generosity. From 5 to 8 years readers, 3312 words Rightsholders: Galyna Guzovska; guzovskakorickagalina@gmail.com

Teaching, Language & ReferenceJuly 2017Korean Culture in 100 Keywords
by Cho Yong-hee, Han Yumi, Tcho Hye-young
The 100 keywords for this book have been selected through several rounds of surveys with the students at the Korean Cultural Center in Paris, France. The 100 facts address extensive sectors. The facts have been selected because they not only help French and global learners have an overall understanding of the state of Korea, but also represent the background knowledge necessary to study essential words and grammar in learning Korean from various aspects including culture, history, tradition and society. The 100 keywords thus chosen serve as the topic of each subject. This book has a total of 100 subjects, largely divided in six themes so that learners can easily search the subject they would like to know. The six themes are: Theme 1: Symbolic Icons (10 Subjects) Theme 2: Food, Clothing and Shelter (12 Subjects) Theme 3: Geography and Tourism (21 Subjects) Theme 4: Society & Daily Life (19 Subjects) Theme 5: History and Religion (20 Subjects) Theme 6: Arts and Culture (18 Subjects) Each subject consists of two pages. On the upper left side is a photo that can explain the subject at a glance. Under the photo is a Korean text that introduces contents that must be learned regarding the subject. In order to help the learning, two questions are added to check the learner’s understanding of the text. The answers are provided in the appendices at the end of this book. On the upper right side is the English translation of the Korean text. The translation will serve for learners to measure their level of Korean proficiency in terms of understanding; in addition, it will satisfy the need for Korean learners who have long wanted to have a bilingual textbook. On the bottom is the English translation of each Words and Expressions section to help readers understand the Korean text. Small photos that are relevant to each subject are added to provide greater enjoyment.

Keywords in Creative Writing
An Insider's Guide for New Composition Teachers
by Wendy Bishop, David Starkey
Wendy Bishop and David Starkey have created a remarkable resource volume for creative writing students and other writers just getting started. In two- to ten-page discussions, these authors introduce forty-one central concepts in the fields of creative writing and writing instruction, with discussions that are accessible yet grounded in scholarship and years of experience. Keywords in Creative Writing provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to the field of creative writing through its landmark terms, exploring concerns as abstract as postmodernism and identity politics alongside very practical interests of beginning writers, like contests, agents, and royalties. This approach makes the book ideal for the college classroom, and unique in the field, combining the pragmatic accessibility of popular writer's handbooks, with a wider, more scholarly vision of theory and research.

THE POWER OF SYMBOLS Sacred Images for Meditation and Divination by Stefano Fusi Artwork by Stefano Fusi Product Details 41 cards + 68-page guidebook+gold extra thin point marker Guide book size: 85 x 130 mm Card size: 85 x 130 mm ISBN: 978-1-955680-03-5 Imprint: Edizioni LAlbero All our oracles are designed and printed in Italy using only 100% ecofriendly material and non toxic inks and varnishes. Symbols are the signs that reveal and perpetuate the unlimited universe in our world and in our common life. They reveal meanings beyond those obvious to the senses and to our rational sphere. They exist before we can imagine or think about them: like genes and DNA on the physical plane, symbols pre-exist us, they carry with them the original instructions of life. They exist in nature and we have then encoded them to express in perceptible and comprehensible forms the essential forces that structure existence since the beginning. They are a synthetic map of the motions of what we call energy.The Power of Symbols is a deck of 41 Oracles with guide book.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 1980Work, Jobs, and Occupations
A Critical Review of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles
by National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Committee on Occupational Classification and Analysis
Various editions of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles have served as the Employment Service's basic tool for matching workers and jobs. The Dictionary of Occupational Titles has also played an important role in establishing skill and training requirements and developing Employment Service testing batteries for specific occupations. However, the role of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles has been called into question as a result of planned changes in the operation of the Employment Service. A plan to automate the operations of Employment Service offices using a descriptive system of occupational keywords rather than occupational titles has led to a claim that a dictionary of occupational titles and the occupational research program that produces it are outmoded. Since the automated keyword system does not rely explicitly on defined occupational titles, it is claimed that the new system would reduce costs by eliminating the need for a research program to supply the occupational definitions. In light of these considerations, the present volume evaluates the future need for the Dictionary of Occupational Titles.

Computer programming / software developmentJuly 2006The Minimum You Need to Know About Java on OpenVMS
by Roland Hughes
Up until this point, most Java programming books attempt to make the reader believe that Java is the way-of-the-future and that all other languages are soon to become obsolete. Not so with this book. The author presents Java with all of its warts while continually comparing it to C++ and sometimes C. He admits not being a fan of Java and assumes you are only interested in learning it because your superiors are forcing a Java project upon your OpenVMS system (this is probably more true than not).

The ArtsFebruary 2015Guide pratique de choix typographique
Nouvelle édition, revue et augmentée : un véritable guide de survie en milieu typographique !
by David Rault
Every typeface, beyond its shape, carries its own story and a cultural, historical and social legacy; it creates, by its sole presence on a page, beyond the meaning of the written words, an actual ambiance. This book is here to give you all the keys which will allow you to choose the right font for any given job, and to make a relevant and aesthetic layout. About 60 typefaces are presented along its pages; each of them is analyzed, its designer is presented, as well as the social context and every connotation brought out by its use. A form at the end of the book will allow you to find easily and quickly the right font based on keywords. Furthermore, a few personalities from the world of typography and publishing (Erik Spiekermann, Xavier Dupre, Alejandro Paul, Alain Beaulet or Bas Jacobs) participated to the book by answering the tricky question "what is your favorite typeface?" It is therefore possible to read this book in many different ways: either you need to quickly find the answer to a professional problem, or you read it from beginning to end, as an amator willing to know more about these letters we read without thinking, these familiar alphabets we see everywhere and abouth which we actually don't know much. This new edition, which follows the success of the first print, have been completely reviewed and upgraded, contains 50 pages more, with new typefaces and exclusive participations from Jim Parkinson, Nick Shinn, Etienne Robial, Jean-Christophe Menu and Bruno Leandri.

October 2020ANGORA CAT IN THE WASHING MACHINE
Short Story
by Manuel Giron
«The greed of those who handle the world market is too big and powerful. Speculation and money laundering cannot be stopped. Corruption is the backbone of the global financial system. And the artist is a simple buffoon who appears and disappears by the mafia’s art.» Humor and irony to enjoy!«Tamagotchi and I became extraterrestrials. It was not enough that my pet looked like a lovely puppy, moved the tail amicably or played with the rest of the dogs as one of the herd. A microship instead of a heart, and a stainless steel body was too modern for a world anchored in the past.» «Tokyo at night is extraordinary, and from the heights it looks like a huge sea of lights. Nearby and distant lights seem like drifting ships. Lights that draw the night landscape. Lights and lights that never end.» «I would like you to enjoy the "Girón World". "The journey has just begun," he would say with his mischievous smile.»Makiko Sese«Manuel Giron flirts with fiction, amazes us with his ideas, approaches and fables, while at the same time keeps his feet firmly anchored in the reality. His short stories constitute a magnificent and pleasant surprise, a compilation of ideas with an undoubted poetic background».Begoña Peris eBook
