Software for printing power point slides??????

Hi everybody

Powerpoint does have quite good print options unless you are using a really old version. You can also print a A4 sheet of minitures of all the slides in the show.

I am a huge fan of powerpoint but of course its good points is the animation it can do which if you print you can only do still slide shots/.

Hope that helps and my advice experiment …everything really is there somewhere…

Excerpt: Siri Fort – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alaud’din is the best known of the Khalji dynasty because he extended his dominion to Southern India and established the second city of Delhi, Siri. He created Siri between 1297 and 1307 to defend against Mongol invasions of India and Delhi. In response he built Siri Fort, mimicked massive Turkish ones. The Fort served as the seat of his power during his campaigns to enlarge his territory. Due to frequent Mongolinvasions of West Asia, the Saljuqs took asylum in Delhi. The craftsmen of Seljuq dynasty are credited with this era’s architectural monuments in Delhi. Targhi, a Mongol ruler, besieged the Siri fort when Ala-ud-din Khalji retreated during the Mongol expedition into India. Targhi could not penetrate the fortifications of the Siri Fort and he finally retreated to his Kingdom in Central Asia. But this attack forced Allauddin to strengthen his defenses at the borders which enabled him to keep the Mongols away Ali Beg and Tartaq and their army after they attacked and plundered Punjab and Amroha. Alauddin deputed his two generals Ghazi Malik and Malik Kafur to repel the Mongol attack. The Mongol army was soundly beaten before they could return to Central Asia with their plunder; All the generals and soldiers of the Mongol army were captured and brought to Siri where they were trampled to death by elephants and decapitated. The Mongols tried to attack one last time in 1306 AD but Ghazi Malik (who was the Governor of Punjab) annihilated the entire attacking Mongol army (believed to be 50,000 strong). Subsequent ruthless attacks by Allauddins army, deep into Mongol territory in Kandahar, Ghazni and Kabul in Afghanistan ensured that Mongols would never attack India again. His military strategies we… More:

An Anthropology Of War $20.44 “It is sobering, but also provocative to look at war from the viewpoint of anthropologists, especially those who have had the unique experience of being in zones of war. These essays bring special insights, but also a passion missing in the usual journalistic accounts or scholarly reflections. The writers in this volume not only enlarge our perspective but move us emotionally – a rare and admirable combination.” · Howard ZinnAs we move deeper into the twenty-first century, power, lethal force, and injustice continue to explode violently into war, and the prospects for lasting peace look even bleaker. The horrors of modern warfare – the death, dehumanization, and destruction of social and material infrastructures – have done little to bring an end to armed conflict. In this volume, leading chroniclers of war provide thoughtful and powerful essays that reflect on their ethnographic work at the frontlines. The contributors recount not only what they have seen and heard in war zones but also what is being read, studied, analyzed and remembered in such diverse locations as Colombia and Guatemala, Israel and Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Haiti. In detailed reports from the field, they reflect on the important issue of “accountability” and offer explanations to discern causes, patterns, and practices of war. Through this unique lens, the contributors provide the insight and analysis needed for a deeper understanding of one of the greatest issues of our times.Contributors:Avram Bornstein, Paul E. Farmer, R. Brian Ferguson, Lesley Gill, Beatriz Manz, Carolyn Nordstrom, Stephen Reyna, Jose N. VasquezAlisse Waterston is Professorof Anthropology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY.

And That’s The Way It Was $14 I wrote this book at the urging of my family… To leave a record of the way it was and the way it has become. – - To establish a current record dating back to the homesteading days of my grandparents in 1884 continuing with a living family tree including my life history. – - To preserve the story of a four year old boy, whose first memories are of riding in a horse drawn buggy with his mother as she drove to the voting place in 1920 to cast her first vote after ratification of the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote.To recall the story of a rural America where all farming was done with horse power and the fuel was located in a nearby granary. – - To tell the Tom Sawyer-like stories of a boy growing up during those times. – - To revisit the Roaring 20s with its boom and bust economy and the emergence of the flappers and their influence on women’s wear. – - To remember the one-room school house, the Model T Ford, the silent movies and more. – - To relive the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his fireside chats that restored the confidence of a broken America. – - To recount the many New Deal programs that brought prosperity to America’s farmers. – - To tell the disheartening stories of farm foreclosures of the 1930s and the legislative battle led by SD Farmers Union to pass the ore tax bill. – - To highlight the story of the South Dakota Farmers Union as it grew to a membership of 20,000 family farmers to become a major influence in the SD Legislature. – - To enlarge on the growth of the cooperative movement and creation of Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association (GTA) and Farmers Union Central Exchange (Cenex) as they struggled for farm bargaining power in the market place. ____ In this book I try to balance politics and Farmers Union with a love affair that I have with my family that now includes grandchildren and great-grandchildren as they grow up to find their place in this world.

At Home Abroad $33.95 The United States has never felt at home abroad. The problem is not threats to American power — the United States has faced few direct security threats. The reason for this unease is that Americans see themselves as members of an exceptional liberal society in a world until recently composed of largely non-democratic states. The United States finds no comfort in this world and, alternately, tries to withdraw from or reform it. But withdrawal violates an American sense of moral purpose, and global reform exhausts its resources. America cycles between ambitious efforts to enlarge democracy and create a New World Order, and more humble appeals to reduce U.S. military commitments and require that European and Japanese allies do more.In At Home Abroad, Henry R. Nau explains that America is no longer exceptional. All the industrial great powers are now strong democracies. When identities converge, nations do not need to balance military power against one another. U.S. relations with western Europe and Japan constitute a new, peaceful partnership that anchors America’s identity in the world.Nau shows how national identities as well as national power interact to define America’s national interests. He combines realist and constructivist perspectives to differentiate U.S. grand strategy toward various countries. The author provides many fresh insights to guide policymakers who must deal with both moral and material interests simultaneously.In Europe, the identity and power perspective advocates NATO expansion to consolidate democratic identities in eastern Europe and concurrent but separate great power cooperation with Russia in the United Nations. In Asia, it recommends thedevelopment of a multilateral democratic security community with Japan, Australia, and South Korea, progressively widening to include ASEAN states and, if it democratizes, China. In the developing world, it cautions against U.S. military intervention unless U.S. identity (moral) and power (mater

Castles in Brandenburg: Sanssouci $10.18 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Sanssouci is the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, in Potsdam, near Berlin. It is often counted among the German rivals of Versailles. While Sanssouci is in the more intimate Rococo style and is far smaller than its French Baroque counterpart, it too is notable for the numerous temples and follies in the park. The palace was designed by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff between 1745 and 1747 to fulfil King Frederick’s need for a private residence where he could relax away from the pomp and ceremony of the Berlin court. This is emphasised by the palace’s name: a French phrase (sans souci) which translates loosely as “without worries” or “carefree” symbolising that the palace was a place for relaxation rather than a seat of power. The palace is little more than a large single-storey villamore like the Château de Marly than Versailles. Containing just ten principal rooms, it was built on the brow of a terraced hill at the centre of the park. The influence of King Frederick’s personal taste in the design and decoration of the palace was so great that its style is characterised as “Frederician Rococo”, and his feelings for the palace were so strong that he conceived it as “a place that would die with him”. Because of a disagreement about the site of the palace in the park, Knobelsdorff was fired in 1746. Jan Bouman, a Dutch architect, finished the project. During the 19th century, the palace became a residence of Frederick William IV. He employed the architect Ludwig Persius to restore and enlarge the palace, while Ferdinand von Arnim was charged with improving the grounds and thus the view from the palace. The town of Potsdam, with its palaces, was a favourite place of residence for the German imperial family until th… More:

Dam!: Water, Power, Politics, and Preservation $28.5 A vivid account of America’s first environmental cause célèbre, which illuminates our attitudes toward fundamental questions of growth, development, and our place in nature.The building of the O’Shaughnessy Dam and Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in the middle of Yosemite National Park–despite the availability of less expensive, less technically challenging, and less politically complicated possibilities–set off a defining controversy in American environmentalism. From the early 1900s to 1913 Americans argued about proposals to dam the Tuolumne River and transform the extraordinary Hetch Hetchy Valley into a giant source of water and hydroelectric power for the San Francisco Bay Area. It is a story of intrigue replete with political scandals and suspect tactics played out in the corridors of Congress, in San Francisco’s City Hall and its corporate boardrooms, and in the national media. The colorful cast of characters includes Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, and John Muir, as well as a host of political bosses, West Coast boosters, East Coast patricians and publishers, big-business interests, newly formed environmental groups, and the American public.Simpson also takes us through the building of the enormous dam and the extensive tunnels and aqueducts that carry water to the Bay Area, and the even more controversial hydroelectric project that still fails to deliver the “public” power that Congress mandated and about which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled. He recounts conversations with an array of people currently involved in the ongoing controversy over whether to manage, refurbish, repair, and enlarge the system, or to tear down the dam and restore the valley to its prior splendor. Simpson concludes with a reflection on what all of this reveals about American attitudes toward growth, development, and environmental stewardship.

DISCOURSE. OF THE WEAKNESS OF MAN. ” Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak.” Pride is a swelling of the heart, whereby man stretches himself and grows great in his own imagination. And the idea it gives us of ourselves, is the idea of strength, power, and greatness. This is the reason why riches puff us up, seeing from them we take occasion to fancy ourselves greater and stronger. We look on them, according to the expression of the wise man, as a strong tower, which secures us from the injuries of fortune, and enables us to lord it over others. This causes that haughtiness, which, according to the Scripture, rises from riches, c The pride of Grandees is of the same kind with that of the wealthy; and consists, as that, in the idea they have of their power. But since, in the contemplation of themselves alone, they find not wherewithal to stuff out this mighty idea, they are wont to take in all those that are about them, or belong to them. A great man, in the idea he hath framed of himself, is not one single man; but a man stuck round with all those that depend on him, with as many arms as are all theirs, because he moves and disposes of them. The idea a General hath of himself, includes all his soldiers and artillery. Thus, every one labours as much as he can to take up a great deal of room in his own imagination. And men bustle and advance themselves in the world, for nothing else but to enlarge this idea which every one makes of himself in his own mind. Behold there the goodly end ofall the ambitious designs of mankind! Alexander and Caesar, in all their battles, had no other aim but this.

Divided Empire $33.95 In Divided Empire, Robert T. Fallon examines the influence of John Milton’s political experience on his great poems: Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes. This study is a natural sequel to Fallon’s previous book, Milton in Government, which examined Milton’s decade of service as Secretary for Foreign Languages to the English Republic.Milton’s works are crowded with political figures–kings, counselors, senators, soldiers, and envoys–all engaged in a comparable variety of public acts–debate, decree, diplomacy, and warfare–in a manner similar to those who exercised power on the world stage during his time in public office. Traditionally, scholars have cited this imagery for two purposes: first, to support studies of the poet’s political allegiances as reflected in his prose and his life; and, second, to demonstrate that his works are sympathetic to certain ideological positions popular in present times.Fallon argues that Paradise Lost is not a political testament, however, and to read its lines as a critique of allegiances and ideologies outside the work is limit the range and scope of critical inquiry and to miss the larger purpose of the political imagery within the poem. That imagery, the author proposes, like that of all Milton’s later works, serves to illuminate the spiritual message, a vision of the human soul caught up in the struggle between vast metaphysical forces of good and evil. Fallon seeks to enlarge the range of critical inquiry by assessing the influence of personal and historical events upon art, asking, as he puts it, “not what the poetry says about the events, but what the events say about the poetry.” Divided Empire probes, not Milton’s judgment on his sources, but the use he made of them.
