I Looked Over Jordan, and Other Stories

By: Ernie Brill

This collection of stories gives a different dimension to the usual presentation of hospitals as the exclusive and immaculate domain of doctors. The reader will encounter a fuller, nitty-gritty view of a world seldom seen, rarely mentioned, and insufficiently appreciated.

Advances and Innovations in American Daily Life, 1600s-1930s

By: Ernie Gross

Throughout its history, America has seen incremental improvements in the domestic and social lives of its citizens. Just for instance, Will K. Kellogg--who operated a Battle Creek, Michigan, sanitarium with his brother--developed a new crunchy breakfast cereal to serve in the sanitarium, and sold it to the nation by mail order. The business grew, revolutionizing American eating habits by replacing the traditional heavy, hot breakfast with cold cereals. This reference book is divided into these sections: Agriculture, Art and music, Business and finance, Clothing, Communications, Education, Energy, Entertainment, Food and drink, Health, Labor, Law, Manufacturing, Public service, Religion, Science, Shelter and domestic furnishing, Social welfare, Sports, and Transportation. Within each section the reader will find subsections detailing innovations and advances in that field--for example, Business and finance is made up of Accounting, Banking, Business machines, Exchanges, Hotels, Insurance, Lotteries, Merchandising, Money, Taxes, and Time keeping. This work describes the beginnings of many aspects of daily life in America, covering most innovations through approximately the 1930s. Dedicated to detailing the introduction of various advances or innovations, the book does not attempt to carry them through today.

This Day in American History

By: Ernie Gross

This Day in American History

By: Ernie Gross

This is a meat-and-potatoes reference work, garnished only with a brief preface, a one-page bibliography, and an index. The text is organized by day of the month, listing in chronological order events that occurred in American history. This logical layout will make the book easy to use for librarians and patrons alike. Entries are written in a telegraphic, curt style that in some cases may require clarification. The 70-page index is useful but flawed, lacking comprehensiveness and containing some incorrect citations. The Encyclopedia of American Facts & Dates (HarperCollins, 1987. 8th ed.), while less current, is more thorough and better indexed, for less money. Recommended, with reservations, as a secondary source for public and school libraries.-- James Moffet, Baldwin P.L., Birmingham, Mich. - Library Journal.

Imagination and Convention

Distinguishing Grammar and Inference in Language

By: Ernie Lepore,Matthew Stone

How do hearers manage to understand speakers? And how do speakers manage to shape hearers' understanding? Lepore and Stone show that standard views about the workings of semantics and pragmatics are unsatisfactory. They offer a new account of language as a specifically social competence for making our ideas public. They argue that this approach is a good way to target the distinctive mechanisms and problems at play in explaining the human faculty of language. At the same time, this view embraces the diverse dimensions of meaning that linguists have discovered. This is the right way to delimit semantics.

Going by the Book

Past and Present Tragedies of Biblical Authority

By: Ernie Bringas

Are biblical and other sacred scriptures the divine word of God, to be followed as the ultimate authority? Bringas asserts that we are victims of a knowledge gap, creating a religious understanding more appropriate to the seventeenth century. In other fields, scholarship and new discoveries gradually modify and expand old beliefs, yet scripture continues to be an unquestioned source of truth. An unflinching and objective look at faith, devotion, and the politics of belief.
