Will make a perfect Xmas stocking filler' Bronya Ralley 'Delightful. This dip-in-anywhere book put a smile on my face from the first page . . . for everyone who likes a good chuckle' Ruth Milligan As we all know, the oxymoron is one of the great beauties of the English language. It has been defined as 'a figure of speech that juxtaposes elements that appear to be contradictory'. Famous examples would include 'bitter-sweet', 'open secret' and 'compassionate Conservatism'. Seriously Funny, and Other Oxymorons brings together a great many examples of the oxymoron genre, amusingly illustrated by Paul Thomas. The book is arranged according to various categories ranging from Popular Culture to Political Principles and Business Ethics, all covered in Simon Brett's inimitably witty style. Anyone with an 'unbiased opinion' will quickly grasp that Seriously Funny makes a 'devilishly nice' book.

Book excerpt: Medical economist Kleinke criticizes the United States' managed health care system as a dismal failure for consumers. Long an advocate for market-based reform in the health care he argues that today's privatized system fails to resemble a true market in any meaningful sense, with far too many layers of bureaucracy standing between the health care consumer and the direct provider, the physician. He argues for a "streamlined" plan that will remove employers from the health care insurance and will allow consumers to purchase insurance plans with non-taxed income. c. Book News Inc.

Download or read book Tautological Oxymorons written by John D. Brey. This book was released on 2002-06-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following in the fted footsteps of Heidegger and Nietzsche - Jacques Derrida set out to complete the process of 'deconstructing' Western metaphysics. But something remarkable happened on the way to dismantling the Forum! As if by grand design, Derrida's deconstruction of Western metaphysics morphed into the ultimate justification for the apophatic (negative) theology that undergirds Western metaphysics! In reaction to this inadvertent justification of negative theology, Derrida embarked on a decade long confrontation with negative theology. Most objective observers of the confrontation would be hard pressed not to feel that rather than deconstruction 'deconstructing' apophatic theology, instead, and quite irreverently, apophatic theology appears to have absorbed and incorporated the vocabulary of Derrida's deconstruction into the very language it uses to justify its presuppositions. Having more than staved off the attack by Derrida's deconstruction, it may now be time to turn the sword in the opposite direction. If deconstruction is easily absorbed into the apophatic behemoth supporting Western metaphysics, what would happen if Western metaphysics applied deconstruction to the modern scientific materialism which acts as the cornerstone of the worldview setting itself in opposition to Western metaphysics? Tautological Oxymorons is an attempt to deconstruct the language and logic used to present scientific materialism as though it were a viable alternative to pre-Enlightenment theology, philosophy, and mythology. By examining modern scientific materialism in the light of language (and proper language use) we can see that much that's taken for granted as 'obvious' and a mere 'given' (within the context of scientific materialism) is rather (when carefully examined in the context of precise language usage) nothing more than sheer unadulterated absurdity!

Book excerpt: OXYMORONS in the Land Of Oz is a childrens guidebook for parents. No child deserves to suffer especially at the hands of Mommy & Daddy!

Anger & violence & using weapons on children is not only illegal, immoral & destructive it is downright idiotic! Parents should set an example instead of setting the child up for failure. To spank or not to spank...should never be a question...the results are disastrous. Every parent should stop the insanity of hitting kids. No child deserves to be hit! The purpose of the book is to educate people about child abuse. Domestic violence destroys families, cultures & threatens all of civilization...ha! Another oxymoron....civil war...should not exist in the home! Illustrations are childish...thats the whole point! The only face a child should see is a Smiley Face!
