Genre: Dictionaries & Thesauruses
Price: $3.99
Publish Date: January 01, 1889
Publisher: Patristic Publishing
Seller: Steven Burger

This lexicon was begun in the nineteenth century and ran through nine editions. It was based on the earlier Handwörterbuch der griechischen Sprache by the German lexicographer Franz Passow. It was edited by Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, Henry Stuart Jones and Roderick McKenzie, and published by the Oxford University Press. It is now conventionally referred to as Liddell and Scott, Liddell–Scott–Jones, or LSJ. Its three sizes are sometimes referred to as "The Little Liddell", "The Middle Liddell" and "The Big Liddell" or "The Great Scott". The first editor of the LSJ, Henry George Liddell, was Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, and the father of Alice Liddell, the eponymous Alice of the writings of Lewis Carroll. Greek scholars have used these books so much that two short memorable peoms have been written to describe the work:        1. Liddell and Scott, Liddell and Scott: Some of it's riddle, and some of it's rot. That which is riddle was written by Liddell, That which is rot was written by Scott. 2. Two men wrote a dictionary, Liddell and Scott, And one half was good, the other was not. Now tell me the answer, boys, quick, to this riddle: which was by Scott and which was by Liddell?

The book is packed full of wisdom for those who are new to the stock market. This book is not for those who are looking to become billionaires overnight but for those who want to grow their wealth over the long term and enjoy a comfortable life when they are older. There are plenty of stories about how greedy people have lost fortunes as well. You learn about the mindset of wealth and why that is important. The most important lesson that you will learn in this book is that how well you do with money has nothing to do with how smart you are, but it has everything to do with how you behave. That is why so many rich people end up broke after such a short period. They don’t know how to behave. However, it also means that an ordinary person can grow their wealth if they can learn a few behavioral skills.

Fast This Way - Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation, and Eat Like the High-Performing Human You Were Meant to Be - A Comprehensive Summary Dave Asprey is at it again. He has written another bestseller focusing on fasting and its numerous advantages. He comprehensively analyzes fasting not only from research but from what he has experienced in his own life. The book is a beautiful guide for beginners who want to incorporate fasting into their lifestyle. When people talk of taking a fast, the thing that comes to mind usually is the spiritual aspect common in most religions. That is just one aspect of it, and research now shows why fasting has been constant throughout the millennia. Asprey discloses multi-faceted fasting elements, why, and how to do fasting right in the book. The prologue section begins by analyzing the dynamics between hunger and craving. Asprey shows us how he managed to go for four days without food when he was starting. This was something he had imagined biologically impossible, given his current state of the body. If anything, his body thrived during this conquest, and he was able to conquer his fears and restore the relationship he had with food. His quest to find liberty from his bondage to food was a success. If it worked for him, it would definitely work for you. The key is fasting! The imaginations are all in your brain at the end of the day. More specifically, those irrational thoughts that you will die of starvation if you skip a few meals originate from the amygdala section of the brain. Intermittent fasting gives you complete control of that section of the brain making fasting easy, efficient, manageable, and above all, FUN! Let’s kick it off and see how to work on that brain of yours.

The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time by Alex Korb PhD: Conversation Starters There’s nothing wrong with your brain, just like there’s nothing wrong with the air in Oklahoma — despite the devastating tornadoes. The depressed person is not damaged goods but the brain is wired differently. It is a result of poor communication between two systems in the brain. A downward spiral is caused by anxiety, worry, bad habits, and negative thoughts. To get out of the downward spiral, small steps can be initiated by setting goals and making small decisions. An accessible account of how the brain malfunctions and how these cause depression, this book also provides instructions on how to follow an “upward spiral” and get out of the debilitating condition. The Upward Spiral is written by Alex Korb who is currently doing postdoctoral neuroscience research at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is a blogger for Psychology Today.

This is a short book , with just one goal—to teach you the simple principles you can use right now to design a powerful scene before you write it.  If you’ve already written your novel , you can use these same principles to make each scene better.  About the Book How to Write a Dynamite Scene Using the Snowflake Method will give you the power tools you need to write scenes that move your reader’s emotions. You’ll learn: * The one thing your reader most desperately wants. And why. * How to decide which character should have the point of view.  * The 2 kinds of scenes designed to give your reader a powerful emotional experience—and how to know which to use. * 5 ways to test that your lead character’s goal in each scene is perfect. * How to end every scene so it leaves your reader wanting more .  * Why dilemmas are good, and how to know when they’re ruining your story. * 4 ways to know that your character’s decision will drive your story forward.  * How to know when a scene is broken—and how to fix it. Excerpt from Chapter 1: Your reader desperately wants one thing.  You have it in your power to give your reader that one thing. And what is that one thing? I could tell you what that one thing is, and you would nod and agree that yes, that one thing is clearly something all readers want.  But telling you that one thing wouldn’t make it stick in your mind forever. I want it to stick.  I’d rather show you that one thing. Once you’ve seen it, once you’ve lived it, you’ll never forget it. That one thing will be inside you, fueling everything you write.  So let me tell you a quick story about one of our ancestors who lived many thousands of years ago in a small village on this planet we call home.  When I say he’s our ancestor, I mean it literally—he’s your ancestor and he’s my ancestor and he’s every human’s ancestor.  That ancestor of ours was once a thirteen-year-old boy, the newest man in the village, and the smallest. Imagine you’re that boy on the day when word comes to the village that there’s a killer tiger ravaging the village’s herd of goats. The Tale of the Tiger You’re furious. A drought has been burning the land for many months. That herd of goats is all that keeps your village from starvation.  You’re also terrified. There’s only one way to get rid of a killer tiger. The village has to organize a hunt, find the tiger, and kill it. But that won’t be easy, because there’s nothing more dangerous in your world than a killer tiger. The village headman sends word around to the whole village. All men meet in the village square, and bring your spear. When the messenger comes to your hut, he shakes his head and frowns. He thinks you’re too young to go. In your heart, you’re afraid he’s right. You only just became a man in the last month. You’re small. You’re skinny. You’re weak. But in your head, you know he’s wrong.  If the village doesn’t kill the tiger, it’s going to steal every last goat, and the village is going to die. To save your people, you and every man in the village have to work together to kill the tiger. You know very well you might not come back. A thousand times in the village square, you’ve heard the village story-woman tell the Tale of the Tiger. You know that when a tiger is surrounded by men with spears, it always looks for the weakest man—and attacks that man. Sometimes the man kills the tiger.  Sometimes the tiger kills the man. You’re terrified, but you know you have to go. You grab your spear and run to the village square.   Click the book cover in the upper left corner to read more.
