Asterisks: Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases
Ever need a fact or quotation on "asterisks"? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this word. It represents a compilation of "single sentences" and/or "short paragraphs" from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term "asterisks," including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. This is not an encyclopedic book, but rather a collage of statements made using the word "asterisks," or related words (e.g. inflections, synonyms or antonyms). This title is one of a series of books that considers all major vocabulary words. The entries in each book cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This data dump results in many unexpected examples for "asterisks," since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a computer-generated linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under fair use conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

Asterisks
Poems written with clarity and craftsmanship, this collection contemplates what is real and observable versus what is not. The verses are like asterisks that refer to somewhere else, and they strike with meditative depth and spiritual strength. Drawn from experiences in Burma, England, Spain, and the United States, these words depict moments in time and step back into silence.

On Amphiphiles, Membranes, and Vesicles: Reactions Within and Between Bilayer Membranes. Synthesis and Properties of Water-Soluble Molecular Asterisks
The first part of the book describes kinetic studies between a nucleophile and an electrophile when one or both of the reagents were incorporated into vesicles (liposomes) and compares reaction rates for the same reagents in a solution. Several modes of reactivity under comparable conditions have rates of decreasing magnitude according to intra-vesicular > solution/solution > solution/vesicle > inter-vesicular. Vesicle/vesicle reactivity models numerous cell/cell reactions found in biology. The second part of the book discusses a family of new asterisk-shaped amphiphiles, which were prepared and studied by means of tensiometry, calorimetry, dynamic light scattering, UV/Vis spectroscopy, fluorescent spectroscopy, conventional NMR spectroscopy and FT-PGSE NMR spectroscopy. These water-soluble asterisk-shaped amphiphiles belong to a fast-growing family of structurally novel amphiphiles, appearing on the scientific scene and expanding the scope of Colloid Chemistry. The book is aimed at a broad auditorium of scientists interested in Organic, Physical Organic, Supramolecular, and Colloid Chemistry.

On Being a Sh*t: Unkind Deeds and Cover-Ups in Everyday Life, Edition with Asterisks
This is a humorous look at a serious topic of how people do unkind things and then try to cover them up through humor, proclamations of innocence, and blaming others. Through stories, the author shows that no one can be a sh*t without your consent, but they can succeed as b*stards, pr*cks, schmucks, and weasels all on their own. Read this book and you will be ready to dethrone the next person who dumps on you. For those who aspire to be sh*ts, this book is a step-by-step guide. For those who want to be accountable, this book shows how. It is custom-made for readers who prefer not to read slang in texts. Each of the slang terms have asterisks in key places. This book also shows how to develop and test theory using qualitative methods and makes a great research text.

An Essay in Asterisks
Poetry. This is the third full-length book of poetry from Jena Osman, following her highly praised work The Character, published by Beacon Press. Osman teaches in the graduate Creative Writing Program at Temple University in Philadelphia and co-edits the literary arts journal CHAIN with Juliana Spahr. "Unimaginable is a word I think of a lot when reading Jena Osman's poetry. Rather like the optical illusion of the face/vase silhoutte, Osman's work proceeds exactly through this process of making the unimaginable obvious, forcing us to rethink the entire project of the poem--and our lives--from the ground up"--Ron Silliman.
