Today, in the era of the spoiler alert, "surprise" in fiction is primarily associated with an unexpected plot twist, but in earlier usage, the word had darker and more complex meanings. Originally denoting a military ambush or physical assault, surprise went through a major semantic shift in the eighteenth century: from violent attack to pleasurable experience, and from external event to internal feeling. In Surprise, Christopher R. Miller studies that change as it took shape in literature ranging from Paradise Lost through the novels of Jane Austen. Miller argues that writers of the period exploited and arbitrated the dual nature of surprise in its sinister and benign forms. Even as surprise came to be associated with pleasure, it continued to be perceived as a problem: a sign of ignorance or na?vet?, an uncontrollable reflex, a paralysis of rationality, and an experience of mere novelty or diversion for its own sake. In close readings of exemplary scenes—particularly those involving astonished or petrified characters—Miller shows how novelists sought to harness the energies of surprise toward edifying or comic ends, while registering its underpinnings in violence and mortal danger. In the Roman poet Horace’s famous axiom, poetry should instruct and delight, but in the early eighteenth century, Joseph Addison signally amended that formula to suggest that the imaginative arts should surprise and delight. Investigating the significance of that substitution, Miller traces an intellectual history of surprise, involving Aristotelian poetics, Cartesian philosophy, Enlightenment concepts of the passions, eighteenth-century literary criticism and aesthetics, and modern emotion theory. Miller goes on to offer a fresh reading of what it means to be "surprised by sin" in Paradise Lost, showing how Milton’s epic both harks back to the symbolic functions of violence in allegory and looks ahead to the moral contours of the novel. Subsequent chapters study the Miltonic ramifications of surprise in the novels of Defoe, Haywood, Richardson, Fielding, and Sterne, as well as in the poems of Wordsworth and Keats. By focusing on surprise in its inflections as emotion, cognition, and event, Miller’s book illuminates connections between allegory and formal realism, between aesthetic discourse and prose fiction, and between novel and lyric; and it offers new ways of thinking about the aesthetic and ethical dimensions of the novel as the genre emerged in the eighteenth century.

Nobody could presume to speak in Jesus Christ's words. What author Christopher Miller has done in "The Small Scroll - The Enlightenment of Jesus" is to use the Bible and unimpeachable bible study sources, along with 200 actual bible citations (of Jesus' words), to create a story that brings to life the events that form the basis of the gospels and the origins of Christianity.
Using the power of faith Miller weaves a lyrical, prophetic saga. It is a message to our time, and uses the new forms of communication that are available to us in this time, through prayer, as Jesus begins His approach to the World.
The Scroll unveils the secrets of our existence. It is a perfect study tool for novice and master alike. It gives us knowledge we will need in order to understand all that is occurring on the Earth.
The Author encourages us "To Find Comfort Here." The Scroll is a delight to read, a jewel of a book.

Have you ever been talking with someone and had your thoughts or feelings drastically changed within just a few minutes? Maybe you walked away wondering what happened. How did a short conversation have such a powerful effect on you? Maybe you've been on the other side and influenced someone else's thoughts or opinions in a massive way.
If so, you've had a glimpse into the realm of real influence.
You can learn a few basic techniques online or in other books but you'll only be getting half of the story (at best.)The problem is that those (basic) techniques won't be very effective because they leave something out. They don't teach you how to attain the attributes that will multiply the effectiveness of the techniques. Without having a strong mindset and the core attributes of an influencer, you're not reaching anywhere near your potential power.
Here is a small sample of what you will learn:
The principles of persuasion. Internalizing these will give you a kind of sixth-sense feel of when others are trying to manipulate you.
Techniques to persuade others. Not just the basics you can find anywhere else. This is the real deal.
How to develop the attributes to make the techniques 10-times more effective.
Conversation skills that you can learn quickly. Become better than a natural.
The body language of persuasion and how to read if someone is open to influence.
How to spot a manipulator and how to stop them from manipulating you.
Storytelling methods that will intrigue others and make them more willing to accept your influence.
...and much, much more
Once you understand these methods and techniques, you will not only improve your ability to perceive when someone is trying to influence you but also how you respond to it. And you can use the power of influence in your everyday life to influence others to create win/win situations for you and them. If you're ready to add these skills to your life then scroll up and click "add to cart."
Автор: Miller Christopher Patrick Название: Arch ISBN: 1931157162 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781931157162 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 20630.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Poetry. ARCH tracks the provisionality of shelters, bodies, and built American things by writing through one of the first Western attempts to legitimize architecture as a discipline: Vitruvius's Ten Books on Architecture. Inspired by Vitruvius's conflicted addresses to both future architects and state power, ARCH entangles the languages of education, materiality, politics, and empire to understand how construction so often entails histories of violence and displacement. More simply, ARCH sustains play with arch, the prefix for architecture, which is also a word we use to signify cleverness and a shape that, when arrayed into a series, enables us to carry water to cities or form vaults holding open space for life to move. The range of tones on finds in ARCH are as uneven as our buildings, mixing voices both fundamental and projective, public and private, comprehensive and forlorn. These books address themselves to our contemporary constraints, imagining the ways we have and somehow continue to extend ourselves and our forms in a landscape where so many choices seem emptied out yet still worth making.
