The book offers insight into the publication history of eighteenth-century English grammars in unprecedented detail. It is based on a close analysis of various types of relevant information: Alston's bibliography of 1965, showing that this source needs to be revised urgently; the recently published online database Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) with respect to sources of information never previously explored or analysed (such as book catalogues and library catalogues); Carol Percy's database on the reception of eighteenth-century grammars in contemporary periodical reviews; and so-called precept corpora containing data on the treatment in a large variety of grammars (and other ...

Radio is the most widespread electronic medium in the world today. As a form of technology that is both durable and relatively cheap, radio remains central to the everyday lives of billions of people around the globe. It is used as a call for prayer in Argentina and Appalachia, to organize political protest in Mexico and Libya, and for wartime communication in Iraq and Afghanistan. In urban centers it is played constantly in shopping malls, waiting rooms, and classrooms. Yet despite its omnipresence, it remains the media form least studied by anthropologists. Radio Fields employs ethnographic methods to reveal the diverse domains in which radio is imagined, deployed, and understood. Drawing on research from six continents, the volume demonstrates how the particular capacities and practices of radio provide singular insight into diverse social worlds, ranging from aboriginal Australia to urban Zambia. Together, the contributors address how radio creates distinct possibilities for rethinking such fundamental concepts as culture, communication, community, and collective agency.

Say your prayers New Hope! Unfortunately, the wicked wheels of sin are set in motion. So, the once pious town is heading straight towards another Reaping of the Souls. But is it truly too late? Is it possible that if they repent now and sacrifice the three biggest sinners in town, their souls can be spared? That’s what Reverend Pryor has convinced everyone, but will his secret motives and the desperation to cover up his own sins push New Hope past the brink and ultimately destroy what little remaining defense they have? Hell is watching closely, but their villainous society has its own problems to deal with. The Lost Souls are just about fed up with the constant abuse, and one of the Dark Lord’s daughters appears to be possessed by a God-like entity from the past, but no one dares speak its name. Could it possibly be the same spirit that haunted Driftwood Blackheart and the Bloody Antagonists, the one that drove them all completely insane? If so, there can only be death and destruction in store for all of Eden. Or worse yet, it may soon return to being a Ghost World.
The Gate to Hell is about to open. This is the culminating moment Hell has been waiting for. If their estimations prove correct, then The Shield protecting New Hope is going down, causing the God-fearing citizens to be completely defenseless and susceptible to another invasion. But how will the Devils and Demons react when they realize that the people they are supposed to kill, torture, and kidnap have been haunting their dreams too? It appears there is a flip side to this coin, but neither side wants to imagine that they can have anything in common with each other. This will be the ultimate test for every soul in Eden. What will happen when the Evil ones from Hell discover they can show remorse and have feelings of love? Especially after the truly faithful from New Hope discover that they are equally capable of feeling hate and plot revenge.
The story of Vineyard transportation and the story of evolution and innovation. Getting to Martha's Vineyard has never been easy. Native Americans built canoes for the journey, and early settlers crossed Vineyard Sound in small sailing packets. Steamships dramatically changed island life. On the island, the horse-drawn trolley evolved into the electric trolley. Tourists and residents crowded railroads until they were replaced by the automobile. The story of Vineyard transportation is the story of an evolution of man and machine, of opportunity and necessity, of dependence and cooperative efforts. Join local historian Tom Dresser as he traces the changes in island living brought about by these transportation innovations.
