Snow Story
White magic: a lyrical, memorable child's celebration of snow From her window the next morning, Chloe saw a world that was white and still, a smooth piece of drawing paper waiting for an artist... In a story as gentle and soft as falling snow, acclaimed children's writer Nancy Hundal and accomplished artist Kasia Charko have created a lyrical, warmly realistic celebration of snow. After a storm, Chloe discovers the transforming power of snow, delighting in a colorful snow angel, the feeling of her toes -- so cold, that 'she thought they'd snap off like icicles inside her boots' -- and the inescapable fact that there are two kinds of grown-ups in this world: those who like snow, and those who don't. With Nancy Hundal's gift for inhabiting the mind and heart of a child, paired beautifully with Kasia Charko's softly glowing color illustrations, Snow Story is a winter wonderland of a story, a warm reading pleasure to be experienced again and again. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461718600

After the Evil Christianity and Judaism in the Shadow of the Holocaust
The evil of the holocaust demands a radical rethink of the traditional Christian understanding of Judaism. This does not mean jettisoning Christianity's deepest convictions in order to make it conform to Judaism. Rather, Richard Harries develops the work of recent Jewish scholarship to discern resonances between central Christian and Jewish beliefs. This thought-provoking book offers fresh approaches to contentious and sensitive issues. A key chapter on the nature of forgiveness is sympathetic to the Jewish charge that Christians talk much too easily about forgiveness. Another chapter on suffering in Judaism and Christianity rejects the usual stereotypes and argues for important common ground, for example in the idea that God suffers in the suffering of his people. There are also chapters on the state of Israel and the place of Jerusalem in Christian and Jewish thought. Richard Harries argues that the basic covenant is not with either Judaism or Christianity but with humanity. These, like other religions, are different, distinctive voices in response to God's p - Books Reading - New - 461410682

Metaphysics
Many of the problems of philosophy are of such broad relevance to human concerns, and so complex in their ramifications, that they are, in one form or another, perennially present. Though in the course of time they yield in part to philosophical inquiry, they may need to be rethought by every age in the light of its broader scientific knowledge and deepened ethical and religious experience. - Books Reading - New - 461122416

Alcohol and Speech
'The book provides a comprehensive review of the effects of alcohol on speech while comparing the various theoretical concerns that form this research. A special merit is the truly exhaustive survey of the relevant literature which also takes into account a significant number of studies which were written in and on languages other than English... The book thus serves as a single, unifying up-to-date reference source for those interested in speech motor effects evident in the acoustic records, reaction times, speech communication strategies, and perceptual judgments'. -- Hermann J. Kunzel, University of Trier, Budeskriminalamt Wiesbaden, Germany 'Scientifically characterizing the effects of alcohol on speech has important implications, as exemplified by the case of the Exxon Valdez Alcohol and Speech will be the classic reference text on this important intersection between basic science and social issues'. -- Linda S. Sobell, Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 'A very comprehensive treatise on alcohol and speech using the captain of the Exxon Valdez as the anecdotal model... The book is a meld of a brood array of disciplines every of which can contribute to a fundamental understanding of the specific effects of alcohol on speech... This book is unique'. -- Robert F. Borkenstein, Indiana University, Bloomington 'Chin and Pisoni bring to the reader a careful and complete assessment of the effects of alcohol on speech. The result of their scholarship should be of interest to anyone concerned with alcohol and speech, but the book also is a valuable reference for the general study of forensics and the effects of drugs on human behavior. This book sets a standard forthe field and will surety find a secure place in the scientific and legal literature'. -- Ray D. Kent, Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin, Madison Alcohol and Speech serves as a single, unifying reference source for those interested in speech motor effects evident in the acoustic record, reaction times, speech communication strategies, and perceptual judgments. written by a linguist and a psychologist, the book provides an analytic orientation toward speech and alcohol with an emphasis on laboratory-based research in acoustic-phonetics and speech science. It is a comprehensive review of the effects of alcohol on speech and compares the various theoretical concerns which form this research. Studies of both alcohol and speech have been rare because every field has its own experimental protocols, methodologies, and research agendas. This book fills a long-standing gap and is unique in providing both breadth of coverage and depth of analysis. A case study involving the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound develops some of the implications of this research. - Books Reading - New - 461120491
