Unlike many of the few sets that have surfaced in cloth, it has not been rebacked, but it has undergone modest cloth mending there is cloth staining and numerous, but generally minor, paper repairs to small chips and tears. Overall, this set is in the shabbier side of good condition. This set is in what might be termed, for a book so seldom seen in its original binding, in usual condition in this instance, this standard is not a high one. This set has the very uncommon 'Calcutta Review' ad inserted (while copies lacking it are not considered incomplete, it is preferable to include it) complete with the half-titles in each volume.

The long dormant Lyne turned 81 on March 4. He didn’t make a lot of movies, but from “Foxes” and “Flashdance” to “Jacob’s Ladder” and “Unfaithful,” his work always grabbed attention and often titillated its way into the national conversation. British filmmaker Adrian Lyne made a name for himself in the ’80s and ’90s thanks to lurid thrillers (“Fatal Attraction,” “Indecent Proposal,” “Lolita”) that put the “sexually” in “sexually-charged” and “sexual taboo.” Edward rutherfurd new york review5/31/2023 Since then he has written five more bestsellers: RUSSKA, a novel of Russia LONDON THE FOREST, set in England's New Forest which lies close by Sarum, and two novels which cover the story of Ireland from the time just before Saint Patrick to the twentieth century. Four years later, when the book was published, it became an instant international bestseller, remaining 23 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List. After numerous attempts to write books and plays, he finally abandoned his career in the book trade in 1983, and returned to his childhood home to write SARUM, a historical novel with a ten-thousand year story, set in the area around the ancient monument of Stonehenge, and Salisbury.

Amatka by karin tidbeck5/31/2023 This is especially true for the quotidian aspects of our lives I've worked in more than a few classrooms that have been marked up in the above fashion, and while it may well help the students, as a fluent speaker myself the effect is always ever-so-slightly disorienting. I mention this not to suggest that this trick can't assist in learning, but to illustrate that while language is our primary means of labelling the world around us, the act of labelling is frequently (mostly?) an unconscious process. There's surprisingly little evidence of how effective this is, given how commonly it's recommended, but the thinking goes that if you encounter often enough a thing in tandem with the word for that thing, then the association will become ingrained in your brain. (Ingrained in your membrane.) It works better for some people than others, as always, but one of the principal drawbacks is that this isn't really how we use language for either thought or communication: How often do you look at a table and then consciously think "table?" How often do you look at a door and think, "That's a door?" If you've ever tried to learn another language, you've probably encountered the advice to attach labels to all the objects in a room which display those objects' names in the new language. |
