First published in 1922, Etiquette has served for generations as the premiere guide to manners and decorum. It details the nuances of various social settings as well as how to act within them, so as not to offend any parties present. Different settings often call for different conduct. In addition to covering general forms of communication, salutations, greetings, and conversation, this classic manual also details what behaviors and topics are socially acceptable (and unacceptable) at specific events such as weddings, formal dinners, engagements, funerals, christenings, games and sports, business and politics, ball and dances, and many, many more. It will teach you the contemporary time period’s sense of how an individual should conduct oneself, offering tips and tricks long forgotten in an age of impulse, social awkwardness, and conversational disrepair, condoned by our reliance on technology. Featuring a new foreword by a leading etiquette consultant, pick up a copy of this stunning new edition of Etiquette―start improving your charm and conversational skills today!

Like Moses delivering forth the Ten Commandments, Chunklet magazine presents you with The Rock Bible—the complete rules for living an authentic life of rock ’n’ roll. Here are hundreds of wise and witty guidelines for Drummers: “If you’re one of those drummers who sets up at the front of the stage, back the hell up. You are the goalies of rock; play your position.” Singers: “When you feel like stage-diving, first make sure the people in the front like your music enough to catch you.” Guitarists: “No one’s looking at your guitar strap. Don’t ever spend more than the cost of an average meal on something that can be replaced by a particularly hearty piece of string.”

Возвращенная к жизни настоящим электронным переизданием книга В.Ю. Макарова – прекрасный образец самоуничтожающегося дискурса.
Доказывая (местами очень убедительно) существование «реликтового гоминоида» практически во всех уголках земного шара, автор совершенно не замечает, что именно это-то, по-настоящему убийственное изобилие предельно детализированных, часто шокирующих и пугающих, свидетельств, тщательно разведенных Макаровым с пресловутым фольклором (который разобран в первой главе и к которому автор далее уже не возвращается), уничтожает сам зоологический базис его теории.

While this task is known as ‘facial image comparison’ in forensic settings, it has been studied as ‘unfamiliar face matching’ in cognitive science.
