IF YOU HAVE EVER FELT the paralyzing and strangling helplessness of hunting for the right word when you need it the most, then you know the real value of a rich vocabulary. There is no man on earth so alone as the one who is addressing a group of associates and, at the moment of putting across an "idea" which may make the future for him, finds himself struggling hopelessly for the right word to convey that idea. He is alone then ; there is no one who can help him, no matter how much we may wish to. He is alone with a mind that is struggling valiantly to broadcast the right word conveying the right idea.
Unless the right word is immediately available, the idea may as well have died at the very moment of conception. Remember there is more truth than poetry to the old jingle "... for want of a horseshoe nail a kingdom was lost." It is equally true that for the lack of a single word one's whole future may be lost.
This volume is a truly splendid collection of related vocabularies so arranged that the user can place his finger immediately upon the category of words that he needs for use or for study. To make these collections even more readily accessible for use and study, the collections of words have been divided vertically into groups. These are the major divisions for all words of verbs, adjectives, and nouns, the inverse order to the one by which we learned our wards as children, but the correct order in which we must learn our words as adults to improve and enrich our vocabularies.
The material on this disc provides comprehensive coverage of the essential Geography material, understanding of which is vital for success. Immediate feedback on understanding is provided by test questions, all of which have a model solution available if required. Progress within each topic is reported on the final screen. Exam-style questions, with model solutions are provided in each section.
Famous scientist's real quotes.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best
known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass–energy
equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics
"for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his
discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."
Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of
relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his
general theory of relativity, which extended the principle of
relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation.
His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary
action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical
mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of
the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities,
the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with
low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon
theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the
conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.
The Discourse on the Method is one of the most influential works in the history of modern science. It is a method which gives a solid platform from which all modern natural sciences could evolve. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.
The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international affairs publication owned by "The Economist Newspaper Ltd" and edited in London. It has been in continuous publication since James Wilson established it in September 1843. As of 2006, its average circulation topped one million copies a week, about half of which are sold in North America.Consequently it is often seen as a transatlantic (as opposed to solely British) news source.
