In All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy begins his Border Trilogy with a coming of age tale that is a departure from the bizarre richness and mysterious violence of his early novels, yet in many ways preserves the mystery and the richness in a more understated form. Like Blood Meridian, this novel follows a young man's journey to the regions of the unknown. John Grady Cole, more heroic than the protagonists of McCarthy's earlier novels, confronts the evil that is an inescapable part of the universe as well as the evil that grows out of his own ignorance and pride. His story is told in a style often restrained and simple, embedded with lyrical passages that echo his dreams and memory.

Species Richness: Patterns in the Diversity of Life
Patterns in the numbers of species have fascinated naturalists for centuries. Understanding the causes of latitudinal gradients in species richness and biodiversity 'hotspots' is often considered to be the holy grail of ecology. Extinctions in the past offer insight into what may occur in the future under climate change and habitat loss. The subject of vegetation-climate interaction is a compelling issue scientifically and is also of importance for land management practices.
Symplectic Geometry (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)
The area of symplectic geometry has developed rapidly in the past ten years with major new discoveries that were motivated by and have provided links with many other subjects such as dynamical systems, topology, gauge theory, mathematical physics, and singularity theory. The contributions to this volume reflect the richness of the subject and include expository papers as well as original research.
Preparing an academic paper can be difficult, especially if English is your second language. For one thing, rules for content, formatting, documenting, and communicating ideas differ throughout the world. However, several universities have recently conducted studies of ESL/EFL writers. They report that by the time these students are writing English on a day-to-day basis, they have attained: - Greater richness of expression - Tolerance for divergent views - Varied life experiences to call upon - Ability to accept criticism - Openness to new ideas
