Maxine has been entertaining family and friends with her stories of life's events, wisdom she has gained over the years, and fantasies from a a creative imagination for eighty-five years. Her words weave a vivid picture that will capture your attention and make you want to abandon the hectic life today's society imposes on you for a simpler time, when folks took the time to stop and listen to the corn grow. Like a fine wine you need to savor each page taking the time to visualize the pictures, depicting a simple life, created by the words of an average woman. Each poem is a step in a journey rich with wisdom and emotions overflowing. The ideal place to read this book is sitting in the top of an apple tree in the summer sun but since most of us are a little too old or just too busy to take the time to climb a tree, I recommend you find a comfy place and settle in for a whirlwind journey ALONG LIFE'S BY-WAYS.

To what extent and in what ways is metaphorical thought relevant to an understanding of culture and society? More specifically: can the cognitive linguistic view of metaphor simultaneously explain both universality and diversity in metaphorical thought? Cognitive linguists have done important work on universal aspects of metaphor, but they have paid much less attention to why metaphors vary both interculturally and intraculturally as extensively as they do. In this book, Zoltán Kövecses proposes a new theory of metaphor variation. First, he identifies the major dimension of metaphor variation, that is, those social and cultural boundaries that signal discontinuities in human experience. Second, he describes which components, or aspects of conceptual metaphor are involved in metaphor variation, and how they are involved. Third, he isolates the main causes of metaphor variation. Fourth Professor Kövecses addresses the issue to the degree of cultural coherence in the interplay among conceptual metaphors, embodiment, and causes of metaphor variation.
