nidottu
The taxicab makes a significant contribution to the accessibility of a city, and provides a wide range of services across many different social groups and urban environments. This study considers the roles and functions of the taxi from its origins as the first licensed form of public transport, to the current variations of vehicle type and operation, to predictions for its future development. Also addressed here is the impact which this ubiquitous form of transport has on contemporary urban life, and the analytical tools being used and developed for its licensing and control.
Unique ElementsHistorical Context: About the AuthorHistorical Context: TimelineCommentariesThe Sea Lions; Or, The Lost Sealers, is an adventure sea tale from the well-known American author JAMES FENIMORE COOPER (1789-1851), best known as the author of the Leatherstocking Tales.The Sea Lions; Or, The Lost Sealers, is a historical novel by American author JAMES FENIMORE COOPER, published in 1849 in the UNITED STATES. It was one of several sea novels, inspired by the author's own experience as a sailor. Cooper was a pioneer of nautical fiction. In his sea novels, Cooper used his direct knowledge of ships and sailors to present a truer picture of life on the sea. The plot of "The Sea Lions" revolves around the struggles of two sealers stranded in the Antarctic ice. The novel was inspired by the writings of explorers such as Charles Wilkes, author or "Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition of the Years 1838-1842." The book was reviewed for "The Literary World" by Herman Melville, who praised the novel's action and adventure: "Upon the whole, we warmly recommend the "Sea Lions;" and even those who more for fashion's sake than anything else, have of late joined in decrying our national novelist, will in this last work, perhaps, recognize one of his happiest." Sneak Peak"It was about midday, when the two Sea Lions opened their canvass, at the same moment, and prepared to quit Sealer's Land. All hands were on board, every article was shipped for which there was room, and nothing remained that denoted the former presence of man on that dreary island, but the deserted house, and three or four piles of cord-wood, that had grown on Shelter Island and Martha's Vineyard, and which was now abandoned on the rocks of the antarctic circle."

The testament of Our Lord, translated into English from the Syriac with introduction and notes
James Cooper; Arthur John MacLean
Alpha Edition
2019
pokkari
In I Feel Therefore I Am, John James Cooper explores his emotional experiences through poems and essays. In writing this book Cooper, who describes himself as a loner and the antithesis of a people person, takes the bold step of sharing his deeply personal thoughts and experiences. Questioning whether his intense need for privacy somehow negates his life experiences, he chooses to share his "private possessions" with others. While Cooper is unafraid to examine and expose his darker thoughts, the reader ultimately comes away with hope for our human plight. In these profoundly moving pieces, the reader is encouraged to reflect on their own emotional experiences.
In this collection of eccentric essays, Cooper shares his unique views on a variety of topics related to the human condition. They are laced with a touch of humor in order to lighten up the rather dark essence of his subject matter. He is the first to admit that his writing has a target audience-introverts only. He strongly doubts that anyone with an extrovert's DNA sequence will appreciate or even understand his offerings. He presents these personal perceptions with the explicit intent of soliciting comments and productive criticisms from his readers, which he hopes will challenge and possibly expand his understanding of himself and the world around him.
