Two-in-One Crosswords

Hard and Easy Clues for Every Puzzle

By: J. Baxter Newgate

Crossword beginners and crossword experts unite! There's finally a book that's right for both of you. With this unique two-in-one format that divides the pages into top and bottom segments, every crossword has a double set of clues: easier ones give newcomers a fighting chance to feel the triumph of finishing the grid, while harder hints make sure experienced solvers get the challenge they relish. And no one will feel frustrated by being unable to answer anything--or bored by crosswords that don't stimulate the mind. Here's an example of a difficult clue for a 9-letter word. "There's no interest in it." Got it? If not, try this: "Head of an elementary school." And remember--with more than 40 puzzles to practice on, you may just be ready for the "big time" before you've finished the book! Answer: Principal. 96 pages, 8 x 10.

"In the Original Text It Says"

Word-Study Fallacies and How to Avoid Them

By: Benjamin J. Baxter

When you hear the words "in the original text it says" or "in the original text this means," it's time to be wary. Those words often provide the introduction to misleading information. But how can the hearer discern just what is correct and what is misleading? How can pastors avoid giving their congregations misleading information? "In the Original Text It Says" takes a look at word-study fallacies and how you can avoid them. Author Ben Baxter gives an introduction to word meaning and how word meaning differs between languages. He then examines a series of fallacies, errors that people make in assigning meaning to words in the original languages of the Bible. But he doesn't leave it with that theoretical examination. After providing the basis for how to understand Biblical words, he examines the discussion of specific words and phrases from passages in both the Old Testament and the New. He takes these examples from commentaries commonly used by pastors and teachers in sermon and lesson preparation. With each example, he shows how one might misunderstand the linguistic evidence provided, and also how one can properly apply this information. This book is designed for readers who have had some contact with Greek or Hebrew, but will also be useful to those who have more language skill, but may not have studied linguistics or looked carefully at how to apply their knowledge in teaching.

Positioning Gender in Discourse

A Feminist Methodology

By: J. Baxter

Feminist Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis helps analyse how speakers construct their gendered identities within a complex web of power relations. Demonstrated here through a study of teenagers' conversation in class and senior managers' discussions in business meetings, it challenges the view that females are disempowered in mixed-sex settings.

Behavioural Foundations of Economics

By: J. Baxter

In recent years, work on what may broadly be described as 'behavioural economics' has expanded rapidly, and is now attracting the attention of leading figures in economics, such as Kenneth Arrow. Much of the work, however, has concentrated on particular aspects of individual and aggregate behaviour. The book attempts to construct a unified framework, showing both how behavioural variables form the basis of economic activity, and how behavioural and economic variables interact to determine individual and aggregate behaviour.

Animal Disease and Human Trauma

Emotional Geographies of Disaster

By: I. Convery,M. Mort,J. Baxter,C. Bailey

Many disasters are approached by researchers, managers and policymakers as if they have a clear beginning, middle and end. But often the experience of being in a disaster is not like this. This book offers non-linear, non-prescriptive ways of thinking about disasters and allows the people affected by disaster the chance to speak.

This report describes the design of a control unit to interface with (1) a digital voltmeter calibrated to respond to fatigue crack growth, (2) load and cycle data from a servo hydraulic system, and (3) a desk calculator. The calculator is programmed to determine crack length, crack growth rate and stress intensity factors. Pre-set limits on the load and number of cycles permits termination of the test when the levels have been exceeded. Appropriate power supplies for the units have also been designed and are described.

English Given Names

Popularity, Spelling Variants, Diminutives and Abbreviations

By: Carol J Baxter

The names of our ancestors are the gateway to tracing our family history. Without a surname and a given name, we hit an insurmountable brick wall. Thus is it important that we can decipher given name abbreviations, recognise diminutives and assess the popularity or rarity of a name. To that end, this handy guide evaluates English given names between the 1500s and early 1900s, the period that interests most family history researchers.

The Fabulous Flying Mrs Miller (Dyslexic Edition)

An Australian's True Story of Adventure, Danger, Romance and Murder

By: Carol J Baxter

Mrs Keith Miller, internationally known aviatrix, was taken to the county jail here today and held for investigation by State Attorney's investigators. Jail attendants said they understood she was held in connection with the shooting of an airline pilot.'..Petite, glamorous and beguiling, Jessie 'Chubbie' Miller was one remarkable woman ... flyer, thrill seeker, heartbreaker. No adventure was too wild for her, no danger too extreme. And all over the world men adored her...When the young Jessie left suburban Melbourne and her newspaperman husband in 1927, little did she know that she'd become the first woman to complete an England to Australia flight (with a black silk gown thrown into her small flight bag, just in case), or fly the first air race for women with Amelia Earhart, or that she would disappear over the Florida Straits feared lost forever only to charm her way to a rescue. Nor could she have predicted that five years later she'd find herself at the centre of one of the most notorious and controversial murder trials in United States history. And this all began with something as ridiculously mundane as a pat of butter...The Fabulous Flying Mrs Miller is a spellbinding story of an extraordinary woman - an international celebrity during the golden age of aviation - and her passionate and spirited life...

Making Sense of Surname Spellings

1 : the Madness of "Mac" Surnames

By: Carol J. Baxter

If you have determined that 'Mc' and 'Mac' surnames are the most complicated surnames originating in the British Isles, you need to read this book. And if you haven't already worked that out, you desperately need to read this book. For example, imagine is you were researching the surname McClarence and to your surprise, you stumbled upon a variant McLawrence. And you were researching McLachlan and saw it written as McGloughlan. And you were researching McGuigan and found McQuigan, and you saw McQuade written as McWade, and McWright written as McRight, and McReady and McCready. By this stage you have gone all the way from 'McC' to 'McL' to 'McG' to 'McQ' to 'McW' to 'McR' and back to 'McC'. You would have every reason for tearing your hair out in confusion and thinking that "this is all too hard!". But don't despair. There are logical reasons for all of these spelling exchanges. In fact they are predictable once you understand the sounds and letters of the English language and how they influence 'Mac' or 'Mc' surnames. The aim of this book is to communicate that information. 'The Madness of "Mac" Surnames' is not a surname dictionary. It is a foundational guide to help you find other ways of spelling your 'Mac' surnames of interest. Never again will you feel as if you are wandering around in a confusing maze as you try to work out variant spellings for the 'Mac' surnames of your ancestors" -- cover description.
