Since 1994, Nancy Mulvany's "Indexing Books" has been the golden standard for thousands of professional indexers, editors, and authors. This long-awaited second edition, expanded and completely up-dated, will be equally revered. Like its predecessor, this edition of "Indexing Books" offers comprehensive, reliable treatment of indexing principles and practices relevant to authors and indexers alike. In addition to practical advice, the book presents a big-picture perspective on the nature and purpose of indexes and their role in published works. New to this edition are discussions of "information overload" and the role of the index, open-system versus closed-system indexing, electronic submission and display of indexes, and trends in software development, among other topics. Mulvany is equally comfortable focusing on the nuts and bolts of indexing - how to determine what is indexable, how to decide the depth of an index, and how to work with publisher i...

'Illuminating, inspiring and intensely practical' HUGH MACKAY, author of The Good Life 'Brimming with pathos and profound insights' KON KARAPANAGIOTIDIS, author of The Power of Hope Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: we are all born and we will all die. We don't have a choice in how we enter the world, but we can have a say in how we leave it. In order to die well, we must be prepared to contemplate our mortality and to broach it with our loved ones, who are often called upon to make important decisions on our behalf.

Dr Ranjana Srivastava draws on two decades of experience to share her observations and advice on leading a meaningful life and finding dignity and composure at its end. With an emphasis on advocacy, leaving a legacy, and staying true...

In this entertaining and challenging collection of logic puzzles, Raymond Smullyan - author of Forever Undecided - continues to delight and astonish us with his gift for making available, in the thoroughly pleasurable form of puzzles, some of the most important mathematical thinking of our time. In the first part of the book, he transports us once again to that wonderful realm where knights, knaves, twin sisters, quadruplet brothers, gods, demons, and mortals either always tell the truth or always lie, and where truth-seekers are set a variety of fascinating problems. The section culminates in an enchanting and profound metapuzzle in which Inspector Craig of Scotland Yard gets involved in a search for the Fountain of Youth on the Island of Knights and Knaves. In the second part of To Mock a Mockingbird, we accompany the Inspector on a summer-long adventure into the field of combinatory logic (a branch of logic that plays an important role in computer science and artificial intelligence...

Frances Burney was born on June 13th, 1752 in Lynn Regis (now King's Lynn). By the age of 8 Frances had still not learned the alphabet and couldn't read. She now began a period of self-education, which included devouring the family library and to begin her own 'scribblings', these journal writings would document her life and cover the next 72 years. Her journal writing was accepted but writing novels was frowned upon by her family and friends. Feeling that she had been improper, she burnt her first manuscript, The History of Caroline Evelyn, which she had written in secret. It was only in 1778 with the anonymous publication of Evelina that her talents were available to the wider world. She was now a published and admired author. Despite this success and that of her second novel, Cecilia, in 1785, Frances travelled to the court of King George III and Queen Charlotte and was offered the post of "Keeper of the Robes". Frances hesitated. She had no wish to be s...

Zeit der größten territorialen Ausdehnung des Deutschen Reiches einschließlich der annektierten Gebiete Österreichs (März 1938) und des Sudetengebietes der Tschechoslowakei (Oktober 1938) bestanden 31 Reichsbahndirektionen. Die in diesem Buch behandelte Eisenbahndirektion Osten mit der Direktionsnummer 25 war unter den 31 bei der Deutschen Reichsbahn durchnummerierten eine mit besonderen Merkmalen: - Sie war keine historisch gewachsene Direktion mit Ursprüngen in der Pri- vatbahn- oder Länderbahnzeit des 19. Jahrhunderts. - Ihr Bezirk war ein Konglomerat von Strecken, die infolge der Ereignisse des Ersten Weltkriegs aus den his- torisch gewachsenen Eisenbahndi- rektionen des Deutschen Reiches herausgelöst worden waren und nun neu verwaltet werden mussten. - Ihre Existenz begann infolge des vom Deutschen Kaiserreich verlo- renen Ersten Weltkriegs (im Dezem- ber 1919), und ihre Existenz endete infolge des vom Großdeutschen Reich verlorenen Zweiten Weltkriegs (im Frühja...

Die Frage, welcher Sprache sich die Kirche in ihrer Liturgie bedienen soll, ist lange vor der Reform des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils zum Teil kontrovers diskutiert worden. Im Pontifikat Benedikts XVI. hat das Thema sowohl für das kirchliche Leben als auch für die theologische Reflexion an Bedeutung gewonnen: Zum einen hat das Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum (2007) dem wachsenden Interesse an der überlieferten lateinischen Liturgie einen wichtigen Impuls gegeben; zum anderen wurde mit der Instruktion der Gottesdienstkongregation Liturgiam authenticam (2001) ein Revisionsprozess der nachkonziliaren Übersetzungen der erneuerten liturgischen Bücher in den Volkssprachen angestoßen, der noch lange nicht abgeschlossen ist.Der vorliegende Band untersucht das Verhältnis von Liturgie und Sprache in der westlichen Tradition im Durchgang durch die Epochen, die entscheidend dazu beigetragen haben, die 'Stimme der betenden Kirche' (Liturgiam authenticam) zu formen. Ausgehend von der bibl...
