Summary

British Columbia, the western-most province of Canada, is known nationally & globally for its natural beauty, picturesque mountain scapes, coastal scenery, near endless miles of shoreline, inlets and fjords. Each year, the province draws massive numbers of tourists from both Canada and the United States to enjoy its ecological splendor during the height of summer. But it is also the domain of over 20, 000 deep, glacially made lakes and the vast oceanic depths which continue to hold many surprises.  
  
And, over forty of those ancient bodies of freshwater are said to contain something else within them, swimming beneath their surfaces, only ever breaking placid waters occasionally to a lucky few fortunate enough to be in the right place and the right time.   From Okanagan Lake to Harrison Lake to Cameron Lake on Vancouver Island, Kootenay Lake in the Rocky Mountains and the province’s coastal waters, sightings of large, unidentified aquatic creatures have been reported for countless centuries, and for some they continue to be reported by unsuspecting yet honest eyewitnesses. This thorough research guide and part-field book will provide a thorough look at this phenomenon by investigating sightings from each British Columbian Lake and the provincial coastlines from the oldest to most recent. Appearing for the first time are newly discovered or forgotten reports that have never been read in book form, along with obscure water creatures in their pages.  Whether you are fascinated by watery mysteries, Cryptozoology, lesser-known regional trivia or plain curious about British Columbia’s natural wonders, The Mystery Creatures of British Columbia is an excellent primer for those wanting to dive deep into the western-most province's mysteries of the deep.

    Do you want to spice up your sex life and improve your relationship? Are you tired of the same old positions night after night? Have you always been a little intrigued by the idea of kama sutra? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are going to want to continue reading. 
Sex has always been a hush-hush subject because of outdated beliefs and such. This has led to couples getting stuck in a rut when it comes to their sex life. They don’t feel that it is “right” to talk to people about their sex life. Times are changing, and more and more people are comfortable talking about their sex life, and that is a good thing. This makes sex less taboo and enables couples to expand their sex repertoire. This new awakening doesn’t necessarily mean that couples will find the answer they want or need from people they talk to, though, and that’s what this book is here to do. 
This book has been brought together to provide information about sex to help couples who are tired of the same old thing every night. Foreplay, that’s is the one word most couples dread. For some reason, this is the area where couples end up failing, yet we all know that it is extremely important, especially for women. It helps to place people in the right state of mind and gets things warmed up, so to speak. This isn’t the only problem some couples have in their sex life. Sometimes it’s simply that things have turned monotonous. This is understandable, especially when 
you and your partner have been together for a while. It is very easy to stick with the same things because you know what one another likes, or because it is easy. But you both likely feel bored and can easily pass on sex due to the boredom. But things don’t have to stay that way, though. You can easily bring the spark back into your life, whether through foreplay or new positions.

    How do people talk about words? This work explores naming constructions such as This formation is called a "coral reef" that are used to introduce lexicalized concepts like coral reef through metalinguistic reference. Drawing on the theoretical foundations in philosophy of language as well as recent work in semantics and pragmatics, experimental evidence from corpus analyses and psycholinguistic experiments-including self-paced reading and eye-tracking data-uncover the linguistic and cognitive processes behind these naming constructions. Special attention is given to the use and processing of quotational constructions during reading. Bridging (psycho)linguistics and philosophy of language, this interdisciplinary work offers new insights into how people use quotational constructions to talk about language, and how readers interpret and process naming constructions with and without quotation marks.

    Including interviews with Black women holding political office at the national, state, and local levels, as well as focus group data, The Radical Imagination of Black Women challenges political science's current approach to political ambition by exploring how Black women decide to seek political office. Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision for a full democracy. This is ambition that occurs in a specific context of marginalization, and both motivation and the conditions surrounding such motivation are critical to understanding the full range of Black women's political work. By focusing on Black women's experiences in elite politics, The Radical Imagination of Black Women is a much-needed intervention in the literature on electoral ambition, women in politics, and candidates and elections.

This quest leads him to the broader topic of the nature of mind and its connection not only to human existence but also to the cosmos itself. What could be a better way to pass the time between now and the sunset?
