Mastering Scientific and Medical Writing: A Self-Help Guide
Author: Silvia M. Rogers
File Type: pdf
If any man wish to write in a clear style, let him frst be clear in his thoughts. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe You may ask why anyone would want to write yet another book about scientifc writing. Tere are many books on the subject, some more useful than others, and the abundance of literature on this topic may confuse rather than guide. I felt that this book was necessary for several reasons. During the past years, I have learnt much about the needs of scientifc communicators, both through my personal experience as a pharmacologist and, later, through teaching scientifc writing at universities, pharmaceutical companies, and other institutions. In todays busy world, guidance on scientifc writing must be focused and to the point. Our constraints no longer permit the ti- consuming search for the correct word or formulation. Moreover, the speed by which we produce a manuscript has become increasingly important, be it in academia or the pharmaceutical industry. Scientists ofen fnd it difcult to accept that their professional success essentially depends on their skill and efciency to communicate their research results. Without any doubt, the rapid exchange of pertinent information is critical to scientifc advancement and should therefore be regarded with due respect. A second, perhaps even more important reason for writing this book is my personal concern for everyone challenged to write high-quality texts in a language that is not his or her native tongue.**

Author: Ted Gioia
File Type: pdf
Taking a wide-ranging approach rare in jazz criticism, Ted Gioias brilliant volume draws upon fields as disparate as literary criticism, art history, sociology, and aesthetic philosophy in order to place jazz within the turbulent cultural environment of the twentieth century. He argues that because improvisation--the essence of jazz--must often fail under the pressure of on-the-spot creativity, we should view jazz as an imperfect art and base our judgments of it on an aesthetics of imperfection. Incorporating the thought of such seminal thinkers as Walter Benjamin, Jose Ortega y Gasset, and Roland Barthes, The Imperfect Art offers vivid portraits of the giants of jazz and startling insights into this vital musical form and the interaction of society and art. **

Rome was first ruled by kings, then became a republic. But in the end, after conquering the world, the Republic collapsed. Rome was drowned in blood. So terrible were the civil wars that the Roman people finally came to welcome the rule of an autocrat who could give them peace. Augustus, their new master called himself The Divinely Favoured One.The lurid glamour of the dynasty founded by Augustus has never faded. No other family can compare for sheer unsettling fascination with its gallery of leading characters. Tiberius, the great general who ended up a bitter recluse, notorious for his perversions Caligula, the master of cruelty and humiliation who rode his chariot across the sea Agrippina, the mother of Nero, manoeuvering to bring to power the son who would end up having her murdered Nero himself, racing in the Olympics, marrying a eunuch, and building a pleasure palace over the fire-gutted centre of his capital.Now, in the sequel to Rubicon, Tom Holland gives a dazzling portrait of Romes first imperial dynasty. Dynasty traces the full astonishing story of its rule of the world both the brilliance of its allure, and the blood-steeped shadows cast by its crimes. Ranging from the great capital rebuilt in marble by Augustus to the dank and barbarian-haunted forests of Germany, it is populated by a spectacular cast murderers and metrosexuals, adulterers and druids, scheming grandmothers and reluctant gladiators. Dynasty is the portrait of a family that transformed and stupefied Rome.

When Adam Smith wrote in 1776 that England was a nation of shopkeepers, he meant that commerce was a major factor in political decisions. Smiths observation was even more on-target for Victorian England shopkeepers, shops, and shopping were a vital part of life. Those Victorians with resources could shop often and had many choices. Industrialization and their imperial connections gave them an almost unprecedented array of goods. Even the poor and working classes had more to eat and more to spend as the century progressed. Here, Graham explores the world of Victorian shops and shopping in colorful detail. She offers information on the types of shops and goods they offered, the people who owned and operated them, those who frequented them, and the contribution of shops and shopping to the Victorian lifestyle and economy.Shopping in Victorian England reached a level of importance not wholly appreciated even by Victorians themselves. New types of shops appeared, offering an expanding array of goods inventively packaged and displayed for an expanding group of shoppers. As the shops grew, so did the activity part excursion for provisions, part entertainment. Women shopped most often, but men, too, had their shops. Victorians could, by the end of the 19th century, shop without even leaving their homes orders could be placed by mail, telegraph, or telephone. Shops catered to all classes the rich, the poor, and the in-betweens.This book will help modern readers envision the Victorian shopping experience by taking them inside the shops and up to the counters. Readers will learn how the shop was organized, what services and goods were available, and how goods made their way from the shop to the home. Grahams compelling account provides a vivid glimpse into a vitalbut largely unappreciated aspect of Victorian life.Review. . . readers seeking to enrich their understanding of nineteenth-century life and, in fact, our own culture of purchasing, will be delighted almost every page provides fascinating information. . . .

p Segoe UIThe computer, writes Peter Lunenfeld, is the twenty-first centurys culture machine. It is a dream device, serving as the mode of production, the means of distribution, and the site of reception. We havent quite achieved the flying cars and robot butlers of futurist fantasies, but we do have a machine that can function as a typewriter and a printing press, a paintbrush and a gallery, a piano and a radio, the mail as well as the mail carier. But, warns Lunenfeld, we should temper our celebration with caution we are engaged in a secret war between downloading and uploading -- between passive consumption and active creation--and the outcome will shape our collective futures.p Segoe UIInThe Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading, Lunenfeld makes his case for using digital technologies to shift us from a consumption to a production model. He describes television as the the high fructose corn syrup of the imagination and worries that it can cause cultural diabetes prescribes mindful downloading, meaningful uploading, and info-triage as cures and offers tips for crafting bespoke futures in what he terms the era of Web n.0 (interconnectivity to the nth power). He also offers a stand-alone genealogy of digital visionaries, distilling a history of the culture machine that runs from the Patriarchs (Vannevar Bushs WWII generation) to the Hustlers (Bill Gates and Steve Jobs) to the Searchers (Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google fame). After half a century of television-conditioned consumptiondownloading, Lunenfeld tells us, we now find ourselves with a vast new infrastructure for uploading. We simply need to find the will to make the best of it.p Segoe UI**h3 Segoe UIReviewp Segoe UIThis is a relatively short, deftly written and attractively published book I havent come across a better book on this general topic, or a potentially more influential one--William Kowinski, * North Coast Journal*p Segoe UIWell known as one of the best analysts of digital culture, he opens here a certain number of historical, cultural, political, and ideological questions that make this book a real must-read for all those looking for new answers to the problems that modern technoculture has been facing... --Jan Baetans, * Leonardo Online*p Segoe UIThe Secret War Between Uploading and Downloading by Peter Lunenfeld is the most insightful work on web realpolitik Ive read in a couple of years.His analysisanalogy of how ideas emerge to take hold of public discourse and then fade again, based on the Gestalt notion of figureground (youll get it when you read it...) has altered the way I see the webworld, and will significantly change the way I talk to clients about whats going on out there.-The Strategy Reviewp Segoe UICultural diabetes, plutopian meliorism, and Teflon objects are only a few of the extraordinarily vivid concepts Peter Lunenfeld points out in this fascinating and impressionistic journey of the key cultural and technological events -- from the atomic bomb to the ubiquity of Google -- that have landed us in our brave new networked, searchable, and data-filled world.Judith Donath, Faculty Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard Universityp Segoe UIIt is formally impossible to write a book that is more of-the-moment than Peter LunenfeldsThe Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading.Bruce Sterling, futurist, science fiction author, and net criticp Segoe UIWritten in sharp, fast-paced prose, Peter Lunenfelds provocative new book implores todays creative citizens to make more and consume less. In a culture glutted with slick, Teflon-coated downloads, we need to push ourselves to upload our own content. If our work has sticky surfaces and rough edges, it will bond with other ideas in the network and contribute to an ongoing dialogue.The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploadingis a ready-to-use manifesto for contemporary media practice.Ellen Lupton, curator of contemporary design, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and author ofThinking with Typeh3 Segoe UIAbout the Authorp Segoe UIPeter Lunenfeld is Professor of Design Media Arts at UCLA and the author of * User InfoTechnoDemo, Snap to Grid A Users Guide to Digital Arts, Media, and Cultures, andThe Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading Tales of the Computer as Culture Machine*, all published by the MIT Press.

Muslims Have Been Provided By Allah A Complete Code Of Conduct In The Form Of Holy Quran. In Quran There Are Two Types Of Verses I.E. Allegorial (Mutashabiat) And Categorical (Mukhamat). The Mutashabiat Verses Of Quran Are Mostly Pertaining To The Essence Of Allah And His Attributes, Predestination, Soul And Life Here After Death Etc. Etc. Since These Verses Are Outside The Purview Of Human Reasoning, Much Hair Splitting And Question Begging Has Not Been Encouraged In This Regard. Yet Many Of The Muslim Thinkers And Philosophers Have Ventured To Enter Into Detailed Discussions In These Matters.
