The Good Ones
Centering around a perfectionist Nigerian-American girl whose senior year goes anything but according to plan, Addy Oluwa navigates the antics, dramatics and imperfections of her last year of high school. *** Addy Oluwa has her entire life set out for her. She’s the lead choreographer of her school’s Pom Team with flawless grades and the title of valedictorian guaranteed. She’s determined to make senior year her year, where everything goes according to plan. Where she’s no longer overlooked by performing her roles as Good Daughter, Good Student and Good Friend. When an unprecedented turn of events leaves Addy virtually friendless, teamless and blindsided— she’s determined to get her life back on track by creating her own team with unexpected help. There’s nothing Addy wants more than her perfect future. Thing is, her senior year plan doesn’t account for everything turning upside down, a reverse it-girl and an unserious drummer sliding into her life to show her that maybe “good” isn’t all there is to her.
Arenas of Language Use
When we think of the ways we use language, we think of face-to-face conversations, telephone conversations, reading and writing, and even talking to oneself. These are arenas of language use—theaters of action in which people do things with language. But what exactly are they doing with language? What are their goals and intentions? By what processes do they achieve these goals? In these twelve essays, Herbert H. Clark and his colleagues discuss the collective nature of language—the ways in which people coordinate with each other to determine the meaning of what they say. According to Clark, in order for one person to understand another, there must be a "common ground" of knowledge betwe...

From Cabin 'Boys' to Captains
Traditionally, a woman's place was never on stormy seas. But actually thousands of dancers, purserettes, doctors, stewardesses, captains and conductresses have taken to the waves on everything from floating palaces to battered windjammers. Their daring story is barely known, even by today's seawomen. From before the 1750s, women fancying an oceangoing life had either to disguise themselves as cabin 'boys' or acquire a co-operative husband with a ship attached. Early pioneers faced superstition and discrimination in the briny 'monasteries'. Today women captain cruise ships as big as towns and work at the highest level in the global maritime industry. This comprehensive exploration looks at the Merchant Navy, comparing it to the Royal Navy in which Wrens only began sailing in 1991. Using interviews and sources never before published, Jo Stanley vividly reveals the incredible journey across time taken by these brave and lively women salts.
Construction as Depicted in Western Art
The Art of Building has captured the interest of artists from the Roman period to today. The process of construction appears in western art in all its details, trades, and operations. Michael Tutton investigates the representation of building processes and materials through an examination of paintings, illuminated manuscripts, watercolours, prints, drawings and sculpture. Technical terms are explained and detailed interpretations of each work are provided, with insights into the artists' inspiration and themes. Even paintings not wholly or principally devoted to construction sites may give tantalising glimpses of building activity. How do these images convey meaning? How much is imagined; how much is authentic? Fully referenced endnotes, bibliography, and glossary complement the text and captions, informing not only the architectural and construction historian, but also those simply interested in art.
