Yes Yes More More

Author: Anna Wood
Publisher: Black Spot Books
ISBN: 1911648292
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 169

Book Description
Two schoolgirls in Bolton take acid just before their English class. A film journalist shares tea and a KitKat with Marcel Proust, more or less, during a long train journey. An afterparty turns into a crime scene. Colleagues, maybe in love, have lunch and don't quite talk about their relationship. A woman flees to New Orleans and finds unexpected treasures there. In her electric debut, Anna Wood skips through the decades of a woman's life, meeting friends, lovers, shapeshifters, and doppelgangers along the way. Delights and regrets pile up, time becomes non-linear, characters stumble and shimmy through moments of rupture, horror, and joy. Written with warmth, wit, and swagger, these stories glide from acutely observed comic dialogue to giddy surrealism and quiet heartbreak, and always there is music – pop songs as tiny portals into another world. Yes Yes More More is packed with friendship, memory, pleasure, and love.

Book Description
YES! This must-have toddler title sheds light on some concepts with a comical flair. Yanking cat by tail: no NO. Gentle pat on back: yes YES. And it’s funny how dumping a bowl of food gets a very different reaction from mastering the use of a spoon. An expressive baby demonstrates familiar behaviors — and their predictable responses — in an amusing book that merits a giant YES!

How often do you say `YES’ to something, when you know you really wanted to say `NO’? You have the right and the power to choose. This book will show you how. The Yes/No Book is about choice. It empowers you with the ability to know exactly when to say `YES’ and when to say `NO’, showing you how to handle both with no fear, no guilt and with confidence and self-assurance. Empowered with the decision-making skills to know how and when to say `YES’ and `NO’ you will develop increasing control over your life. You will become more focussed, more productive, less stressed, more involved in doing the things you want to do and less in doing time-sapping chores that offer no benefit or joy. The book is structured into two parts. The first examines our addiction to `YES’, the second tells us how to embrace and start using `NO’ and how to choose when each is best for us.

Anglistics in Lithuania

Author: Jonė Grigaliūnienė
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443853852
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 284

Book Description
This collection of papers offers diverse yet highly professional accounts of multiple cross-linguistic and cross-cultural aspects of English studies in Lithuania. It is valuable for the wide variety of empirical data presented, for the insights into both English and Lithuanian, which, when studied individually, sometimes cannot escape a narrower treatment. Most of the essays in this volume deal with semantics, pragmatics and grammar, while others focus on phonetics and language pedagogy. The collection is also notable for its use of various different methodologies, including triple CL – corpus linguistic, cognitive linguistic and contrastive linguistic – principles of investigation. A particular strength of the book is its focus on the contrastive aspect of study. Further, many of the contributions included here have profound implications for both translation and teaching.

Dual-process Theories in Social Psychology

Author: Shelly Chaiken
Publisher: Guilford Press
ISBN: 9781572304215
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 676

Book Description
This informative volume presents the first comprehensive review of research and theory on dual-process models of social information processing. These models distinguish between qualitatively different modes of information processing in making decisions and solving problems (e.g., associative versus rule-based, controlled versus uncontrolled, and affective versus cognitive modes). Leading contributors review the basic assumptions of these approaches and review the ways they have been applied and tested in such areas as attitudes, stereotyping, person perception, memory, and judgment. Also examined are the relationships between different sets of processing modes, the factors that determine their utilization, and how they work in combination to affect responses to social information.
