Gorgias
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Plato, PUBLISHER: 1st World Publishing, June 18-. Squire Hawkins sat upon the pyramid of large blocks, called the "stile," in front of his house, contemplating the morning. The locality was Obedstown, East Tennessee. You would not know that Obedstown stood on the top of a mountain, for there was nothing about the landscape to indicate it-but it did: a mountain that stretched abroad over whole counties, and rose very gradually. The district was called the "Knobs of East Tennessee," and had a reputation like Nazareth, as far as turning out any good thing was concerned. The Squire's house was a double log cabin, in a state of decay; two or three gaunt hounds lay asleep about the threshold, and lifted their heads sadly whenever Mrs. Hawkins or the children stepped in and out over their bodies. Rubbish was scattered about the grassless yard; a bench stood near the door with a tin wash basin on it and a pail of water and a gourd; a cat had begun to drink from the pail, but the exertion was overtaxing her energies, and she had stopped to rest. There was an ash-hopper by the fence, and an iron pot, for soft-soap-boiling, near it.

Mission Santa Cruz
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ostrow, Kim / Ostrow, K., PUBLISHER: PowerKids Press, The story of the missions is a compelling human drama that is a vital piece not only of California history, but also of American history. Indeed, many keys to California's past lie in the stories of the 21 missions that stretch along the state's west coast from San Diego to San Francisco. They are the physical and cultural building blocks on which modern-day California communities and identities are built. However, there are also broader historical lessons to be learned by reading about the mission settlements. As with other pivotal periods in American and human history, the mission era was a time in which different cultures and world views came into contact and conflict. The missions were founded in the s and s by Spanish friars, who had followed explorers to the New World. The friars were missionaries who wanted to bring the Christian religion to the indigenous peoples of the New World. This vital series is compatible with the mission-based curriculum used in fourth-grade California classrooms. It resonates equally with all social studies programs that explore the defunct notion of colonialism and its controversial role in the history of the United States, and with curricula that seek to explore the interaction of different cultures and the rights and voices of indigenous peoples.

The Young Oxford Book of the Human Being: The Body, the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Glover, David, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, There are more than 5 billion (that's a 5 with nine zero's) human beings on Earth, and each of us is unique. Yet we all share the same human characteristics--our origins, how our bodies work, how our minds function, and how we live together and communicate. With so many people living together on the planet, what is the secret of our success? The Young Oxford Book of the Human Being answers this question and many more as it unlocks the secrets of human beings. The essential guide to what makes us human, this volume is packed with colorful photographs and artwork, and it covers all aspects of human life, from the building blocks of our bodies to living in the global village. Did you know, for example, that there are more than 100 billion nerve cells in your brain? That's as many stars as there are in a galaxy. Or that it would take five CD-ROMs to hold the amount of information stored by the DNA in just one of your body cells? Author David Glover also explores the mysteries of our minds--how we perceive things and remember them, and how our thoughts and emotions work. What are dreams? How does memory work? How do we learn? We are also unique in the ways we live together, and fascinating chapters explore the groups we form, our cultures and beliefs, and our incredible inventiveness. The Young Oxford Guide to the Human Being is the complete guide to the most advanced and influential creatures on Earth--us.

Fender precision bass reissue '70 (p-bass)
È il miglior basso tra i Precision "made in Mexico" (solo i più vecchi sono giapponesi, tutti quelli recenti sono messicani), nonchè il più costoso. Ora è fuori produzione e trovarlo nuovo è praticamente impossibile. Io l'ho cercato in Francia e in Germania senza risultati. Solo grazie a una dritta di un rappresentante della Fender ho saputo che un negozio a Milano ne aveva ancora uno. Quello che vendo io ora! ??Il suono è esattamente quello che ci si aspetta da un basso di questo tipo. Niente di più, niente di meno. Il suo punto di forza è l'estetica, in particolar modo il manico.?I "blocks" al posto dei "dots" lo rendono un basso da collezione. Nelle foto potete vedere tutta la sua bellezza. Tenuto in perfette condizioni ha due millimetrici segni che riporto in foto (che praticamente neanche si vedono), così per farvi capire con quanta cura è stato trattato.?? Al momento monta delle corde Ernie Ball Super Slinky (montate a gennaio ). La tracolla è fissata con gli strap locks fender. (Insieme aggiungo anche gli originali). ??Colore: olympic white.??

Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Silman, Jeremy, PUBLISHER: Siles Press, For more than 100 years, the world's leading chess players and teachers have told their students to study the endgame. Now, for the first time, a revolutionary, richly instructive endgame book has been designed for players of all levels. Silman's Complete Endgame Course, by famed writer and player Jeremy Silman, is the one and only endgame book you?ll need as you move up the ladder from beginner to strong tournament player and finally to master. Designed to ?speak? to a player in a very personal way, Silman's book teaches the student everything he or she needs to know at his or her current rating level, and builds on that knowledge for each subsequent phase of the player's development. Starting at the beginner's level, all basic mates are clearly and painstakingly explained. After that, the critical building blocks that form the endgame foundation for all tournament hopefuls and experienced tournament competitors are explored in detail. Finally, advanced endgame secrets based on concepts rather than memorization are presented in a way that makes them easy to master. The basic keys to a well-rounded endgame education?Opposition, the Lucena and Philidor Positions, Cat and Mouse, Trebuchet, Fox in the Chicken Coup, Triangulation, Building a Box, Square of a Pawn, Outflanking, the Principle of Two Weaknesses?are vital. But equally important is creating a love of the endgame, which is addressed at the end of the book with a look at chess tactics, minor piece domination, and a discussion of the five greatest endgame players of all time?all things that every fan of chess at every level can enjoy. If you have found the endgame to be a mystery, if you have found that your confidence plummetsonce you reach an endgame, if you have searched for an instructive endgame book that will turn your weakest link?your endgame?into your personal field of power, your search is over. Silman's Complete Endgame Course is the key to a world of essential ideas, startling beauty, and stunning creativity.

Boss gx700 guitar effect
Multieffetto rack per chitarra / preamp boss gx700 racchiude in un unico rack tutti gli effetti della serie boss molto caldo e versatile prezzo 200 euro trattabili scheda tecnica boss gx700 guitar effects processor/preamp published in sos june printer-friendly version • noise gate: with user control of threshold setting. • compressor: with variable attack and release characteristics, plus control over sustain and tone. in common with all the other effects blocks, this also has a level parameter. • wah: this classic effect is familiar to guitarists everywhere, and can be recreated quite convincingly with the gx700, either under lfo or pedal control. the resonance of the wah effect can be varied, as can the frequency range over which the effect sweeps. • distortion: i suspect this section is based around the concepts used in the boss analogue pedals. the choices available include vintage od, turbo od, blues, distortion, turbo distortion, metal and fuzz. in addition to an adjustable drive level, the distortion settings also have a basic 2-band bass/treble equaliser. • preamp: this is where cosm modelling comes into play, because here you can select from several amplifier characteristics, including jc120, clean twin, match drive, big lead, ms (i), ms (ii), ms (i+ii), sldn lead and metal . the available controls include the usual bass, middle, treble and presence, as well as the volume/master volume method of setting the amount of amp distortion, and a 'bright' switch. a gain parameter is also included, which affects the distortion amount. • loop: this isn't an effect at all, but rather a means of switching in an external effect or processor. the loop function connects via the rear panel jacks, and has adjustments for both send and return levels, which is a sensible inclusion. • 3-band eq: despite the fact that the overdrive section and the preamplifier both have tone controls, there's also a 3-band equaliser with a fully parametric mid section. • speaker simulator: this again offers several choices: small, middle, jc-120, built-in 1-4, big stack 1-2, ms stack 1-2 and metal stack. there are also three possible virtual mic settings, for close miking and more distant miking, and separate level controls are provided for the mic level and the direct level. • noise suppressor: this comes at the end of the amplifier chain, but before the effects. however, because the effects can be connected in any order, it can be used elsewhere if you have a reason for doing so. personally, i'd be inclined to use it after the modulation effects (for anything that doesn't involve level modulation, such as panning or vibrato), but before any delay or reverb effects. as far as the user parameters go, these are really down to threshold and release time, though you can also choose to key the gate from either the noise reduction block's own input or from the guitar input jack.
