John Newman

Despite Mrs Lemon's extra sweeties, and sneaky peaks at her sisters' diary, Mimi is struggling. Her dad is always sad, her sister has a horrible secret, and 151 days ago her mammy died. What is Mimi to do?

Mimi

This is a beautifully and humorously written story about how an adopted boy who is dealing with his parent's divorce, discovers that he has a long-lost twin sister. Tao didn't think anything about that phone call. It was just a wrong number. A little thing. But he was so wrong! Tao has a sister. She is Chinese like him, adopted like him, and her name is Mimi. Ever since Jo took his dad away, Tao feels like he's in the middle of a tug-of-war between his parents. But he can't help hoping that they will get back together ... someday.

Bl John Henry Newman

Bl. John Henry Newman wrote this pair of essays at a time when historical-critical biblical research was beginning to exert its powerful influence on Scriptural studies. He presents his position on what the Councils of Trent and Vatican I require all Catholics to believe about Scripture, and explores areas where he sees room for Catholics to differ in their viewpoints. Faced with the problem of the apparently limited scope of inspiration to "matters of faith and morals" Newman shows how teachings on faith and morals pervade the whole of Scripture, taking in account historical statements and incidental remarks by the Bible's human writers. Newman's essays, which contributed to the theological grounding on which the teachings of Vatican II and the modern Magisterium stand, are essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Scriptural doctrine of the Church, and to engage faithfully and fruitfully with modern methods of Biblical criticism.

On the Inspiration of Scripture

John Henry Newman, one of the towering figures of the early Victorian Church of England, caused shock and outrage in equal measure when he announced his espousal of Roman Catholicism in 1845. His Apologia, written nearly twenty years later in response to a scurrilous public attack by Charles Kingsley, is a superbly crafted response to those who criticized his actions and questioned his motives, and traces his spiritual development since boyhood, his close involvement in the high church Tractarian Movement and his agonizing decision to reject the church he had been born into. Ostensibly an autobiography and a speech for the defence, the Apologia transcends self-justification to explore the very nature of Christianity and its place in the modern age.

Prof. Newman is considered one of the great chemical engineers of his time. His reputation derives from his mastery of all phases of the subject matter, his clarity of thought, and his ability to reduce complex problems to their essential core elements. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, Washington, DC, USA, and has won numerous national awards including every award offered by the Electrochemical Society, USA. His motto, as known by his colleagues, is "do it right the first time." He has been teaching undergraduate and graduate core subject courses at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), USA, since joining the faculty in 1966. His method is to write out, in long form, everything he expects to convey to his class on a subject on any given day. He has maintained and updated his lecture notes from notepad to computer throughout his career. This book is an exact reproduction of those notes. This book shows a clean and concise way on how to use different analytical techniques to solve equations of multiple forms that one is likely to encounter in most engineering fields, especially chemical engineering. It provides the framework for formulating and solving problems in mass transport, fluid dynamics, reaction kinetics, and thermodynamics through ordinary and partial differential equations. It includes topics such as Laplace transforms, Legendre’s equation, vector calculus, Fourier transforms, similarity transforms, coordinate transforms, conformal mapping, variational calculus, superposition integrals, and hyperbolic equations. The simplicity of the presentation instils confidence in the readers that they can solve any problem they come across either analytically or computationally.

This volume explores properties of ‘sit’, ‘stand’, and ‘lie’ verbs, reflecting three of the most salient postures associated with humans. An introductory chapter by the Editor provides an overview of directions for research into posture verbs. These directions are then explored in detail in a number of languages: Dutch; Korean; Japanese; Lao; Chantyal, Magar (Tibeto-Burman); Chipewyan (Athapaskan); Trumai (spoken in Brazil); Kxoe (Khoisan); Mbay (Nilo-Saharan); Oceanic; Enga, Ku Waru (Papuan); Arrernte, Pitjantjatjara, Ngan’gityemerri (Australian). The contributors discuss data relevant to many fields of linguistic inquiry, including patterns of lexicalization (e.g., simplex or complex verb forms), morphology (e.g., state vs. action formations), grammaticalization (e.g., extension to locational predicates, aspect markers, auxiliaries, copulas, classifiers), and figurative extension. A final chapter reports on an experimental methodology designed to establish the relevant cognitive parameters underlying speakers’ judgements on the polysemy of English stand. Taken together, the chapters provide a wealth of cross-linguistic data on posture verbs.

The Linguistics of Sitting, Standing and Lying

From the author of JFK and Vietnam: A “meticulously documented exposé” that “reads like an intricate spy thriller” (Publishers Weekly). What was the extent of the CIA’s involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald? Did the agency take part in his defection to the Soviet Union? Was the government keeping tabs on him from his return to the United States in June 1962 until November 22, 1963? Why was Oswald's file tampered with before the assassination of John F. Kennedy? And why did significant documents from that file mysteriously disappear? With access to newly released government documents, former US military intelligence officer John Newman answers these questions, not with theories, but with information from the primary sources themselves—ex-agents, officials, and secret records. To look at the Oswald file is to look at the most sensitive CIA operation of the Cold War. The story is as alarming as it is tragic; the lies and manipulations it reveals led directly to Kennedy’s murder. Oswald and the CIA is a gripping journey to the darkest corners of the CIA.

Oswald and the CIA

"Hace muy poco que la madre de la pequeña Mimi murió. Todos en su familia están tristes y abatidos. Papá ya no sonríe, y las pizzas de la cena siempre se le queman. Sally se viste toda de negro, como su estado de ánimo, y guarda un terrible secreto. Conor apenas habla, toca la batería por las noches y no deja dormir a los vecinos. Y hace meses que nadie saca a pasear a Bengala, la perrita. Además, Mimi está cansada de que su compañera Sarah le haga la vida imposible por ser 'distinta'. Todo parece desmoronarse. Pero poco a poco la familia irá recuperando la fuerza para atravesar el duelo, precisamente gracias a esos pequeños y no tan fáciles retos que nos impone lo cotidiano"--P. [4] of cover.

Mimi's life is off the rails since the sudden loss of her mother. What will it take to pull her and her family together? A spot-on, witty, and genuinely moving novel. One hundred and forty-nine days ago, Mimi’s mam died. Everyone’s given up. Dad keeps burning pizzas, and he doesn’t smile anymore. Sally wears only black now and has a terrible secret. Conor plays the drums all night and keeps the neighbors awake. The dog, Sparkler, hasn’t been walked in months. And that’s not even counting how terrible things are at school. But Mimi isn’t one to give up. In his solo novel debut, John Newman has crafted a story both touching and comic— a portrait of loss, compassion, and the power that comes from sticking together.

In this gripping novel of faith and persecution, Bl. Newman tells the story of Callista, a young pagan woman, loved by a Christian man, who is posed with a choice between denying Christ or professing faith and the highest cost. Writing as both a convert and a scholar of the early Church, Newman presents his reader with a rich and challenging story, deeply personal and also highly informative in its representation of early Christian life amid pagan society, in its divine raptures and earthly pains. This edition features the original text of Newman's novel along with additional notes by Søren Filipski (MA, Franciscan University of Steubenville) providing explanations of various terms in Latin and other ancient languages that appear throughout the text.

The first in a series of volumes on the JFK assassination, Where Angels Tread Lightly is a unique scholarly examination of historical episodes that go back to WWII, the Office of Strategic Services, and the early evolution of the CIA-up to and beyond Castro's assumption of power in Cuba in 1959. This book is a groundbreaking investigation of America's failure in Cuba that uncovers the CIA's role in Castro's rise to power and their ensuing efforts to destroy him. This work retraces the paths taken by many of the key players who became entangled in the CIA's plots to overthrow Castro and the development of the myth that Castro was responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy. With rigorous scholarship and the brilliant insight of a trained textual records interpreter and document forensic specialist, Dr. John M. Newman sheds new light on the multiple identities played by individual CIA officers. Where Angels Tread Lightly deciphers the people and operations that belong to a large number of CIA cryptonyms and pseudonyms that have remained, until now, unsolved.

In this collection of papers twelve linguists explore a range of interesting properties of ‘give’ verbs. The volume offers an in-depth look at many morphological, syntactic, and semantic properties of ‘give’ verbs, including both literal and figurative senses, across languages. Topics include: an apparent zero-morpheme realisation of ‘give’ in a Papuan language; noun plus causative-like suffix expressing the ‘give’ concept in Nahuatl; ‘give’ and other ditransitive constructions in Zulu; the complex verbal morphologies associated with ‘give’ verbs in Chipewyan, Cora, and Sochiapan Chinantec; the elaborate classificatory system found with ‘give’ verbs in Chipewyan and Cora; ‘give’, ‘have’ and ‘take’ constructions in Slavic languages; the expression of ‘give’ in American Sign Language; the origin of the German es gibt construction; the extension of ‘give’ to an adverbial marker in Thai, Khmer, and Vietnamese; the syntax and semantics of Dutch ‘give’; first language acquisition of possession terms.

Imagine: a sudden and dramatic worldwide elevation of the sea level of 40 feet. Surviving and recovering from a localized natural disaster is drastic enough, but when the water rises in a matter of hours all over the world with little advance warning and stays up permanently, what happens to the flooded cities and seaports? What is the death toll? How many survivors are suddenly surrounded by high water and cut off from higher ground? Who rescues them and how? What happens to the inland cities and towns, when tens of millions of refugees start arriving and overwhelm the local resources? What happens to the highly developed economies that are heavily dependent on international trade when seaports become unusable? What happens when the oil from the Persian Gulf is suddenly no longer available? What happens when electrical power generating plants fail and the few remaining plants and interconnected power grids can’t support demand? Will there be famine, civil unrest, anarchy, or war to grab what few resources are left? Searise – The Chaos Begins and its sequel, Searise – Exodus, are works of fiction that condense and admittedly exaggerate what will likely happen over the course of the next several decades into an immediate disaster for which the world is unprepared. You have never read anything like it!

The Chaos Begins

Searise

An expanded and fully revised edition of John Newman's classic survey of the buildings of West Kent, first published in 1969. Here is an extraordinary concentration of architecture of the first rank, and an immense variety of landscape and townscape, from the deep woods of the Weald to the shingles of Dungeness, the cathedral city of Rochester with its Norman castle, and the remarkable Georgian naval dockyard at Chatham. Domestic buildings of note range from plentiful timber-framed hall houses to the Palladian masterpiece of Mereworth Castle and the planned modernist village of New Ash Green, as well as country houses on the grandest scale, such as Cobham Hall and Knole. The parish churches can show rich and memorable work of almost every period, especially the middle ages and the Gothic Revival. This new edition includes detailed explorations of many rewarding urban areas, and fresh perspectives on such famous landmarks as Ightham Mote, Sissinghurst and Hever Castle.

In this widely acclaimed work, James Ackerman considers in detail the buildings designed by Michelangelo in Florence and Rome--including the Medici Chapel, the Farnese Palace, the Basilica of St. Peter, and the Capitoline Hill. He then turns to an examination of the artist's architectural drawings, theory, and practice. As Ackerman points out, Michelangelo worked on many projects started or completed by other architects. Consequently this study provides insights into the achievements of the whole profession during the sixteenth century. The text is supplemented with 140 black-and-white illustrations and is followed by a scholarly catalog of Michelangelo's buildings that discusses chronology, authorship, and condition. For this second edition, Ackerman has made extensive revisions in the catalog to encompass new material that has been published on the subject since 1970.
