Paperback. Condition: Good. This book is not about cemeteries. Nor is it a mystery-suspense story. It is about writing-the craft of writing and telling a tale. It is about how to use other people's stories, and what we are allowed to do with them. The plot of any story is the key. The plot is the story within the story that propels the action and develops the tale. In Hamlet, for instance, the story deals with who will be the rightful king of Denmark, but the plot is concerned with revenge and ambition. The plot is the nucleus of the action, and it is here that the writer must look to form his efforts. In Part One, the authors deal in depth with the structuring and spicing of the story. In Part Two, using classic and modern examples they outline 13 common plot movers: Vengeance Catastrophe Love and Hate The Chase Grief and Loss Rebellion Betrayal Persecution Self-Sacrifice Survival Rivalry Discovery (Quest) Ambition showing you how weave it all together in a tapestry of words rich and satisfying to the reader. Worried you'll go too far in your plot thievery? A thorough look at plagiarism and copyright is also included.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Setting the record straight about the institution of academic tenure, this book elucidates its history, legal status, and common misunderstandings. Meiners argues that the original aim of tenure -- to ensure academic freedom and integrity -- can still be achieved and that the belief by many professors that tenure is a guarantee of lifelong entitlement, whereby only the commission of a crime can lead to dismissal, is wrong. He contends that as long as college administrators follow the rules of their own institution, there is little to prevent universities from dismissing tenured faculty who have become incompetent.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In early 2018, we started a weekly series on our Smart Real Estate Coach YouTube channel called Deal Structure Sundays. The goal of these videos was to help aspiring real estate investors understand a bit more of the terms niche that might be difficult to grasp without some real world examples. As years went by and the world got more complicated, so did our transactions; terms got lengthier, new-and-exciting pivots were introduced, life events happened, and solutions were created. So, we decided to expand these lessons into a course called Deal Structure Overtime. As a part of our Wicked Smart Academy, students will be able to dive deeper into the stories behind these deals, blemishes-and-all. Each one is chock full of all the nuts-and-bolts, true-to-life stories that make up the day-to-day of our real estate investment business. This book is a taste of what those videos are like. We have transcripts from 8 different deals, edited only for fluidity and readability, that highlight some basic deals and some more advanced deals with Associates from our Wicked Smart Community. We've found that your constant exposure to these conversations will put you into action, which starts to create results, which builds your confidence, certainty, and belief, up-leveling your potential -- and the cycle continues. So, dive in, pore over the numbers, and then try your hand at starting your own real estate investment business.…

Condition: Fair. Cedric Thorpe Davie is himself a noted composer, and musical forms are as familiar to him as armatures are to the sculptor. As a result, he is able not only to describe them clearly, but also to evaluate their qualities and to point out their truly characteristic fundamentals. It is his discussions of such core questions as: What is the true basis of sonata form? And What are the qualities of a successful form that make for convincing music? that cause his book to be the unusually interesting and lively study that it is.The text defines and describes the forms commonly used by Western composers in the period between 1550 and 1900. These are the binary and ternary forms, including the de capo aria, minuet-and-trio, and rondo; the sonata form; the forms in the concerto; variation forms -- including ground bass, passacaglia, and chaconne; and the contrapuntal forms, notably the fugue and canon. Each form is illustrated with a detailed analysis of a specific piece or movement, usually from the work of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven, but often from Purcell, Brahms, Dvorak, or other composers. The student is also referred to a list of compositions in the same form for further study.Experienced musicians, both professional and amateur, and students will find the author's thoughtful, well-written discussions of the controversial aspects of formal analysis extremely perceptive and stimulating. Beginning music lovers, even those with little or no training in music, will come away from a thorough reading of the book with a good knowledge of each important musical form, and with a greatly increased insight into the way music is organized.…
