PDF : English Words: History and Structure, 2nd Edition

By Donka Minkova, Robert Stockwell
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Pages: 234, Publication Date: 2009-04-20

Description: This new edition is concerned primarily with the learned vocabulary of English - the words borrowed from the classical languages. It surveys the historical events that define the layers of vocabulary in English, introduces some of the basic principles of linguistic analysis, and is a helpful manual for vocabulary discernment and enrichment.

The new edition has been updated with a discussion of the most recent trends of blending and shortening associated with texting and other forms of electronic communication and includes a new classification of the types of allomorphy.

It discusses important topics such as segment sonority and the historical shifting of long vowels in English, and includes a new section on Grimm's law, explaining some of the more obscure links between Germanic and Latinate cognates.
 Exercises accompany each chapter and an online workbook contains readings and exercises to strengthen knowledge acquired in the classroom.

New and Old Edition : Predictably Irrational, Revised and Expanded Edition

The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions,

By Dan Ariely, Publisher: Harper Perennial
Pages: 384, Publication Date: 2010-05-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0061353248
Audiobooks 92 mb | 2 in 1 Books Rar : 4.7 Mb

Description: Why do our headaches persist after we take a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a fifty-cent aspirin? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup?

When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In this newly revised and expanded edition of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate.
Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable—making us predictably irrational.
