Free Download Work! Consume! Die!: I Am Actually Almost Completely Insane Now By Frankie Boyle 2011 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 000742678X | EPUB | 3 MB Brace yourself, Frankie's back, and he's more outspoken and brilliantly inappropriate than ever. There are fears that this year could see the start of a double-dip recession, or worse still a double-dip-with-misery-sprinkles and f**k-where's-my-job?-sauce. Why not chuckle into the howling void as taloned fingers reach up to consume you with Frankie Boyle's new book, Work! Consume! Die! In Work! Consume! Die! stand-up comedy's favourite pessimist, Frankie Boyle, offers his outrageous, laugh-out-loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. He describes your reality as viewed through a bloodshot eye pressed against a shit-smeared telescope, focused on hell: * 'Charlie Sheen's life consists of going on huge drug benders with groups of porn stars. If he straightened himself out he could have a really mediocre career as a bit-part Hollywood actor. Playing the role of Martin Sheen's corpse. He's crazy like a fox! And also actually crazy. What a tragic waste, not being Charlie Sheen is. How majestic it will be for him to die, possibly quite soon, knowing that when they make a movie of his life, it will be a porno.' * 'The X Factor will be allowed to show product placements. That's powerful advertising. Last series I realised that looking at the judges alone had made me subconsciously buy a gnome, a scrag-end of mutton, a vacuous mannequin and a suspected gay.' * 'The Taliban are running out of bullets. Operation 'Get our troops to absorb them with their bodies' is finally paying off. The Taliban are finding it impossible to get hold of essential supplies - at last we're fighting on equal terms. But let's not get complacent. Just because they're running out of bullets we mustn't assume our boys won't get shot. Remember, the US troops have still got plenty.' A no-holds-barred tour de force of comic writing, Work! Consume! Die! is Frankie Boyle at his brutal, taboo-busting best. This is nothing more or less than the clanging call to arms of a dying mechanical God.  Free Download Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less By Sam Carpenter 2009 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1929774877 | PDF | 4 MB Winner of the 2009 New York Book Festival's award for general non-fiction Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less was originally self published in soft cover by the author in April 2008 and had modest distribution as it was sold only via the author's website.

Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less will guide you in streamlining the interlaced systems that drive every aspect of your work--and your life. The first key to freedom and wealth is to stand ''outside and slightly elevated'' from your business or job to see the sub-systems that compose it. Then the task is to, one by one, perfect each of these internal systems. While providing exact direction for creating a culture of ''system improvement,'' the author interlaces his own story of moving from 100-hour workweeks to 2-hour workweeks, while multiplying his monthly income by a factor of 25. Through all this he was the single parent of two children. The strength of the book lies in convincing the reader to ''get'' the systems-mindset. Then, it provides exact instruction for revitalizing an organization through fostering organizational efficiency, creating simple documentation and getting staff to enthusiastically ''climb on board.'' What Carpenter teaches is simple yet profound: Achieve a positive macro result by working on a micro level. You will learn how to analyze and refine your network of systems to maximize profit, create client loyalty, and develop autonomous employees who are passionately dedicated to the goals of the organization. The bonus: The strategies will help you dramatically improve your personal life while decreasing the stress of being overtaxed and disorganized. You will: Recognize the systems that are affecting your world and manipulate them into super-efficiency Maximize productivity when you know you're at your peak brain capacity Avoid the time-wasting imperfection of striving for perfection Pulling from his years of experience as the owner of a struggling business that he revitalized into the number one business in his industry, Carpenter offers profound and concise advice that will revolutionize the way you view your work and, indeed, how you live your life.

 Free Download Michela Canepari-Labib, "Word-Worlds: Language, Identity, and Reality in the Work of Christine Brooke-Rose" English | 2002 | pages: 305 | ISBN: 0820450804, 3906758648 | PDF | 1,2 mb With her output of fifteen novels (including Between, 1968; Amalgamemnon, 1984; and Subscript, 1999), three major critical works (including her authoritative study A Grammar of Metaphor, 1958) and a plethora of articles and essays, as well as poetry and a few extraordinary translations, Christine Brooke-Rose has extended the scope of the novel and stretched the possibilities of language to its limit, offering an insightful representation of our society. Beginning with an analysis of her early novels, Word-Worlds provides an overview of her fictional work and consolidates her position as a major contemporary author. Showing how her wide range of interests and various narrative modalities make it difficult to place her in a specific cultural and geographical tradition, this book considers the various intellectual influences that this bilingual, cross-cultural novelist has undergone, and by approaching her fiction from a variety of critical angles, it analyses her attitude towards language and the way in which she has questioned the notions of identity and reality proposed by Western tradition over the centuries.  Free Download Pius ten Hacken, "Word Formation and Transparency in Medical English" English | ISBN: 1443880027 | 2015 | 205 pages | PDF | 2 MB As a side effect of the rapid progress in medical research and of the emergence of new medical conditions, medicine is a domain where new concepts have to be named more frequently than in many other domains. Because of the prominent position of English in medical research, most of these concepts are first named in English. This raises questions relating to the naming strategies adopted and the consequences of the choice of particular strategies. These consequences are not restricted to English, because the English terms often need to be translated and are sometimes borrowed. This volume consists of an introduction and eight chapters. The first four chapters focus on the choice of naming strategy and the consequences for the transparency of the resulting names in English. These chapters address the international pharmaceutical nomenclature, the terminology of psychiatry and of middle-ear surgery, and the use of neoclassical word formation. The following four chapters concentrate on the issues of translation and borrowing evolving from the choice of names in English. They address translation into Spanish, Slovak, Polish and Turkish.

Free Download Women, International Development and Politics: The Bureaucratic Mire By Kathleen Staudt 1997 | 356 Pages | ISBN: 1566395461 | PDF | 61 MB In the seven years since the first edition of this book, global attention has focused on some remarkable transitions to democracy on different continents. Unfortunately, those transitions have often failed to improve the situation of women, and democratic practices have not included women in government, homes, and workplaces. At the same time, non-governmental organizations have continued to expand a policy agenda with a concern for women, thanks to the Fourth World Congress on Women and a series of United Nations-affiliated meetings leading up to the one on population and development in Cairo in 1994 and, most important, the Beijing Conference in December 1995, attended by 50,000 people.Two new essays and a new conclusion of this title reflect the upsurge of interest in women and development since 1990. An introductory essay by Sally Baden and Anne Marie Goetz focuses on the conflict over the term 'gender' at the Beijing Conference and the continuing divisions between conservative women and feminists and also between representatives of the North and South. Author note: Kathleen Staudt is Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas at El Paso.  Free Download Sharif Gemie, "Women's Writing and Muslim Societies: The Search for Dialogue, 1920 - Present" English | ISBN: 0708325394 | 2013 | 194 pages | PDF | 2 MB This is the first book to evaluate works by Western and Muslim women writing about the Muslim experience in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and the United States. In addition, Sharif Gemie looks at how women's writing about Muslim societies has changed over the past century, from the playful and humorous works by pioneering female travelers like Freya Stark and Edith Wharton, to more recent accounts marked by fear, hostility, and even disgust, such as Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran and Betty Mahmoody's Not Without My Daughter. Gemie also identifies and examines a new wave of female Muslim writers whose work touches on problems of integration, identity crises, and the changing nature of Muslim cultures.

It also focuses on education and work outside the home as they affect the traditional role of the Saudi woman as wife, mother and homemaker.

Intensive interviews were held with 100 Saudi women in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from different social, economic and educational levels. |
