Warren Buffett was born on August 30, 1930, to Howard and Leila Buffett in Omaha Nebraska. Warren came from a prestigious line of Buffetts that had resided in Omaha for seven consecutive generations. Warren's grandfather operated a grocery store starting in 1869, and Warren's father dabbled in stocks. Because Howard Buffett was a stockbroker and congressman, Warren was saturated with financial knowledge and terms from a young age. A stay-at-home mom, Leila provided two siblings for Buffett; both were girls. Many friends of Warren fondly recall his ability to compute huge columns of numbers with only his mind. Coupling this with Warren's home environment, family and friends knew it was only a matter of time before Warren would delve into the world of financial risk and success. Warren exhibited his entrepreneurial prowess at the age of six when he bought six cartons of Coca-Cola from his grandpa at the price of twenty-five cents apiece and promptly sold the individual bottles for five cents, making a five-cent profit on every carton. As the world encouraged children to play on the playground or to go have fun, Warren busied himself in making money and testing the murky waters of risk. Warren's life took a dramatic turn when he was five, however. After his father came home one night and announced to the family that the bank where he was employed was closing, Warren's family became very poor. The infamous Great Depression had snaked its way to Nebraska, devastating anything in its path. Warren's grandfather helped Warren's father out by sending him money each month, but it was a while before Howard was employed again.

La consolidaci n del uso de drogas como problema p blico, la relativa ausencia o falta de efectividad de las respuestas terap uticas y la demanda social al Estado para que asuma su responsabilidad en este campo configuran el escenario contempor neo en que se desarrollan y ganan legitimidad iniciativas religiosas de tratamiento para el consumo problem tico de drogas.

The Phonetics of Russian is intended to help those studying Russian to pronounce the language well, and to give students of general phonetics a knowledge of the phonetic system of Russian. In addition it serves as a reference book on Russian pronunciation. On its publication in 1969 it replaced The Pronunciation of Russian by Trofimov and Jones. The book provides a straightforward outline of the necessary general phonetic theory and the system of transcription and contains a precise description of the way in which the sounds of Russian are articulated, and how they are affected by the neighbouring sounds. The fundamentals of Russian intonation are described and there is a chapter of passages for practice in Russian pronunciation in which the phonetic transcriptions include accents marking both tone and stress. The Russian text and the English translation of the passages are provided. Throughout the book constant attention is paid to the problems of the learner and advice given for mastering the sounds.

The Phoneme, first published in 1950, is now not only a standard work on its subject but comprises Daniel Jone's major and final expression of his theoretical attitudes. This is a reissue of the third edition (1967), which includes the appendix on the history and meaning of the term phoneme. It sets out in detail the author's conclusions about the nature and function of the phoneme, illustrating them from over 40 languages. The book continues to represent for the historian of language an important landmark in the development of linguistics.

The brave ride streetcars to jobs early in the morning, have traffic accidents, rob banks. The brave have children, relationships, mortgages. The brave never write these things down in notebooks. The brave die and they are dead. First published in 1985, when Daniel Jones was just twenty-six, The Brave Never Write Poetry, the poet/critic/novelist's lone collection of poems, was a cult hit, turning 'poetry' on its head before its author (then known simply as 'Jones') swore off verse entirely. Written in a direct, plainspoken, autobiographical and at times confessional style in the tradition of Charles Bukowski and Al Purdy, these confrontational poems about sex and boredom, drugs and suicide, document Jones' depressive, alcoholic years as an enfant terrible. This long overdue revised edition brings Jones' unforgettable voice to a new generation of readers and includes the complete text of the original collection (including Jones' own sardonic assessments of his own poetry) and a new postscript essay by poet/critic Kevin Connolly.

Updated edition with 200 new information panels, colour headwords. Also available with CD-ROM (0521017130).
