An Introduction To The Study Of School Management $12.35 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III. WRITING. Writing is the art of expressing words by means of letters properly united together. It differs from printing, in which the letters are not united together. The junction of the letters enables the writer to express thought more expeditiously, since he is able to execute words by an uninterrupted movement of the pen, or instrument employed in writing. It is an admirable means of training the eye and the hand, and in this respect is closely allied to drawing. Writing is, in fact, a species of drawing, differing from it only in one particular, that thoughts are expressed by means of writing, whilst drawing represents the forms and figures of objects. Writing is a valuable instrument of culture in several respects. (a) It is the means of creating habits of observation and neat construction. (b) It may be made the means of forming habits of neatness and cleanliness. (c) It is of the utmost value in primary education for the purpose of impressing and rendering knowledge permanent. (d) The opinion of the parents respecting any given school is in a great measure formed from the appearance—neat or otherwise—of the copy-books. () The child’s success in life will be greatly facilitated by the possession of a neat and legible style. 1. Elements of Writing.—All letters may be reduced to the ultimate elements—right lines and curves. They are also combined with hooks, loops, and ellipses, and also perhaps crotchets (/.), as found at the end of 6 and w. The smaller alphabet is composed of the foregoing, with the exception of a few irregular letters. The capital letters are nearly all formed of the ellipse and the curve of double flexure. 2. Qualities of Good Writing, which ought to resemble italic printing, are— 1. Legibility, or easiness to |

An Introduction to Fortran 90 for Scientific Computing $79.95 Fortran was one of the earliest programming languages and is still the most important language for scientific and engineering computation. It has evolved considerably over the last 35 years and this book provides an introduction to its latest standard: Fortran 90. The general organization of this text is based on a companion volume, An Introduction to FORTRAN for Scientific Computing, which covered Fortran 77 with some discussion of Fortran 90 features. Ortega begins with a general introduction to computing, then introduces the basic constructs of the Fortran language: variables, assignment statements, the IF statement, repetition by DO loops, arrays, functions and subroutines, and formatted input/output. Only the simplest forms of these constructs are introduced, but even these are enough for students to begin writing fairly sophisticated programs. To develop good programming habits early on, Ortega discusses programming techniques—such as top-down step-wise refinement, and the important question of detecting errors—alongside the factual material right from the beginning. By the end of Chapter 3, students will have covered most of Fortran 77 and many of the simpler added features of Fortran 90. In Chapter 4, Ortega addresses the more advanced features of Fortran 90: derived types, modules, interface blocks, overloading, and pointers, and concludes with a summary of how Fortran 77 differs from Fortran 90. Development of this text took place in many forms as a first-year programming course taught at the University of Virginia. |

My Pen’s Legacy $12.05 Gerard Ukpan is a theatre director and performance poet from Nigeria. Born in 1976, Gerard first appeared on stage at the age of 4 and started writing poetry at 15. His first influences were music-backed storytelling and oral history at home.Travelling between his hometown in Edo and Abuja led Gerard to reflect on the poverty, crime and other social issues facing many Nigerians. He decided to use poetry to find the elixir that would ease humanity’s ills to “penetrate the subconscious so that there will be a psychic revolution.”Gerard started performing poems professionally in 2002 in Abuja. He has also performed in London at the Brunei Gallery, the Albany, the Theatre Royal Bar and the Poetry Cafe. In 2004 he set up a theatre company in Abuja known as The Elixir of Mankind, the only performance poetry troupe in the city. It is geared towards fighting social ills through entertainment and recreation. Gerard’s stage name is The Soul Alkemyst.In 2005 Gerard and his friends started the Performance Poetry Academy. So far he has taught many performance poets and some of his students have won first prizes in poetry competitions. Gerard uses poetry to reach out to people. He writes about different aspects of life: the soul, divinity, love and oneness. Gerard’s poetry is a subtle way to penetrate the subconscious which is the home of all habits, both good and bad.”My Pen’s Legacy” is a powerful collection of mesmerising poems that show life’s winding road and its rhythmic journey – ups and downs, dreams and realities, happiness and sadness, love and hate, light and darkness. It explores the mysteries of life through poetry and reminds us of ‘who we are’, ‘where we are’ and ‘where we are from’. |

Scotch Loch-Fishing $12.21 PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch – Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water,-and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day,-and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the |
