Having survived Jehal's betrayal, former Queen Zafir is determined to take back control of the kingdom. To that end, she seizes Jehal's wife and son as hostages. Desperate to save his queen and his heir, Jehal makes a tentative peace with the dragons of the north, and prepares to fly against his enemies. But as politics throw the realms of men into turmoil, a far greater danger threatens. The dragons are awakening from the spells cast upon them, and returning to their native fury. They are out for revenge. And that revenge will be brutal.

This book brings together chapters on the semantics and pragmatics of measurement, scales, and numerical expressions. The chapters highlight recent developments in measurement theory, the meaning of numerical expressions and the relation between measurement scales and entailment scales. The authors provide explorations in formal and experimental semantics and pragmatics, as well as at the interfaces of this field with others including philosophy of language and sociolinguistics. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in these areas, as well as psychology, psycholinguistics and artificial intelligence.

A new edition of this practical guide for clinicians and researchers who wish to develop tools to measure subjective states, attitudes, or non-tangible outcomes in their patients, ideal for those who have no knowledge of statistics.

Written in the latter part of the 19th century, this volume remains one of the most useful books of scales and arpeggios. Palmer's fine edition discusses the construction of scales from tetrachords and the Circle of Fifths as preparatory material to a presentation of all the major and minor scales and their cadences. The chromatic scale and suggestions for practicing scales in varied rhythms conclude the work.

Hundreds of old weighing scales are studied, each for specific purposes: diamonds, eggs, martinis, toys, golf clubs, etc., including coin-operated, all with current values. From large iron scales in a general store to beautiful silver scales, the field is enormous and fascinating.
