DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn a world where destroying art is forbidden, mistakes are not easily erased. The Tower of Theo is the story of how tribulation withered the endurance of three men's friendship: Leander, the rational artist; Demetrius, the sentimental confidant; and Theo, the imaginative adventurist. The past comes back to haunt the trio, and the stakes rise when the artists' creations emerge from the canvas, bringing their paintings, and their pasts, to life. After two decades of severed communications following an untimely death, a letter from Theo arrives at Demetrius' doorstep as an invitation to heal old wounds. Though Leander warns Demetrius of possible ulterior motives, Demetrius is entirely consumed by the possibility of mending their brotherly bond. The road to reunion is paved with exhausting physical obstacles and even more debilitating mental trials. Each man is uniquely conflicted by an effort to do what he believes is right while also concealing the truth of what happened on that cursed day over twenty years ago, until revelation becomes inevitable. Never could they have imagined their closest companions and creations becoming their ultimate demise, demolishing what each man spent his whole life building.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMany of us are alarmed by the accelerating rates of extinction of plants and animals. But how many of us know that human cultures are going extinct at an even more shocking rate? While biologists estimate that 18 percent of mammals and 11 percent of birds are threatened, and botanists anticipate the loss of 8 percent of flora, anthropologists predict that fully 50 percent of the 7,000 languages spoken around the world today will disappear within our lifetimes. And languages are merely the canaries in the coal mine: what of the knowledge, stories, songs, and ways of seeing encoded in these voices? In The Wayfinders, Wade Davis offers a gripping and enlightening account of this urgent crisis. He leads us on a fascinating tour through a handful of indigenous cultures, describing the worldviews they represent and reminding us of the encroaching danger to humankind's survival should they vanish.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne's conception of language is central in fields such as linguistics, but less obviously so in fields studying matters other than language. In Language and the Ineffable Louis S. Berger demonstrates the flaws of the received view of language and the difficulties they raise in multiple disciplines. This breakthrough study sees past failures as inevitable, since reformers retained key detrimental features of the received view. Berger undertakes a new reform, grounded in an unconventional model of individual human development. A central radical and generative feature is the premise that the neonate's world is holistic, boundary-less, unimaginable, impossible to describe_in other words, ineffable_completely distinct from what Berger calls 'adultocentrism.' The study is a wholly original approach to epistemology, separate from the traditional interpretations offered by skepticism, idealism, and realism. The work rejects both the independence of the world and the possibility of true judgment_a startling shift in the traditional responses to the standard schema. Language and the Ineffable evolves a unique conception of language that challenges and unsettles sacrosanct beliefs, not only about language, but other disciplines as well. Berger demonstrates the framework's potential for elucidating a wide range of problems in such diverse fields as philosophy, logic, psychiatry, general-experimental psychology, psychotherapy, and arithmetic. The reconceptualization marks a revolutionary turn in language studies that reaches across academic boundaries.
