This revision of Herman Melville A to Z (2001) is an addition to the publisher's Critical Companions series. Part 1 is a biography of Melville. Part 2 has entries on many of Melville's publications, including summaries and publication history, and for the more substantive works, critical commentary, entries on characters, and brief secondary bibliographies. The third section contains encyclopedic entries on people, places, publications, and events. The fourth section is made up of several appendixes: a chronology, a primary and secondary bibliography, selected contemporary reviews, selected letters between Melville and Hawthorne, and a genealogy extending from Melville's grandparents to his grandchildren.

Представляем
вашему вниманию очередное нововведение, призванное упростить навигацию и поиск
нужных материалов на нашем сайте - теги.
Возможно, вы уже встречали похожую систему организации информации на других
сайтах. Облако тегов также присутствует на нашем блоге и на сайте
"Гаджет, который мне нужен".
Итак, при добавлении каждой новости ей присваиваются так называемые
"теги" - ключевые слова. Они могут генерироваться автоматически по
содержанию или добавляться вручную. В краткой новости, на главной странице, они
выводятся строкой ниже количества поблагодаривших. Кликнув на понравившийся вам
тег, вы попадёте на список всех публикаций, которым он был присвоен. Так,
например, нажатие на тег "Fundamentals" откроет страницу с публикациями, где присутствует
это слово.
========================
We are happy to
introduce our new feature: TAG CLOUD.
We are sure that this implementation will make site navigation much easier and
more visually attractive.
Every time a new publication is added, special keywords (aka 'tags') need to be
assigned to it. They can be generated automatically or typed manually. These
tags can be seen at the bottom of the publication in the main page and are
later used to find related publications that have the same tag.
Thus, a click on the 'Fundamentals'
tag will take you to the page with all other Englishtips publications that
contain the same word 'Fundamentals'.
"The End of Faith by Sam Harris is a genuinely frightening book about terrorism, and the central role played by religion in justifying and rewarding it. Others blame “extremists” who “distort” the “true” message of religion. Harris goes to the root of the problem: religion itself. Even moderate religion is a menace, because it leads us to respect and “cherish the idea that certain fantastic propositions can be believed without evidence”. Why do men like Bin Laden commit their hideous cruelties? The answer is that they “actually believe what they say they believe”. Read Sam Harris and wake up. — professor Richard Dawkins, The Guardian
"Do we need another book on the conflict between reason and faith? Yes, if it is as well-written as Sam Harris’s The End of Faith.” — New Scientist
“At last we have a book that focuses on the common thread that links Islamic terrorism with the irrationality of all religious faith. The End of Faith will challenge not only Muslims but Hindus, Jews and Christians as well.”
— Peter Singer,professor of philosophy at Princeton and author of The President of Good and Evil: The Ethics of George W. Bush.
According to the new rules for uploading, we don't accept new publications of religious nature anymore. Nevertheless Admin decided to leave older publications on Englishtips. To avoid unnecessary offending arguing from "both" sides, the COMMENTS are blocked in already existing publications. Please note: If the files expire, there will be NO reupload. Thank you for understanding!

Dear Englishtips contributors! We really appreciate your daily publications and would like to thank you for sharing your precious collections with the world!
However, we have recently faced the situation when some users do not care searching the site before they publish something. As a result, we (myself and our Trusted Contributors) have to find these so-called 'duplicates' and delete them. This takes time. Besides, about 97%(!!!) of the users who add something are too lazy to read the RULES, and what we see in the Admin page is dozens of publications without cover images, without description, sometimes - without links.
We have decided to stop explaining why this or that publication is rejected, because explaining each contributor whether the same post has appeared already or it just does not suit the site's overall policy, or the publication was not added according the site's rules, etc. slows down the publication process immensely.
Please do not take it personally - we have dozens of repetitions and lots of useless publications. Since now we will not give any explanations.
