Naturally Salty
In the course of cruising the west coast, Marianne Scott has met a variety of fascinating people whose lives revolve around the sea-racing sailors, scientists, yacht designers, boat-builders, writers, painters and eccentrics. Compelled to introduce these folk to a wider world, Marianne conducted interviews from Portland to Bella Coola to bring together this engaging collection of profiles. Readers will meet hermit Bob Stewart; publisher Tom Kincaid, founder of Nor'westing magazine; writer Charlie White of fishing-book fame; shipwreck hunter James Delgado; biologist Verena Tunnicliffe; whale researcher Paul Spong; entrepreneur Jim Whittaker, who started REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.), the renowned supplier of specialty outdoor gear; designers Ted Brewer and Bob Perry; lighthouse-keeper Flo Anderson; and many more. From 20-something adventurers to octo-genarians still single handing, the people in this book are intriguing, honest, funny-and inspiring.
American Junkie
A non-stop trip into one man's land of desperate addicts, failed punk bands, and brushes with sad fame, as he sells drugs during the Seattle grunge years. In American Junkie, Tom Hansen maps his heroin addiction, from the promise of a young life to the prison of a mattress, from budding musician to broken down junkie, drowning in syringes and cigarette butts, shooting heroin into wounds the size of softballs, and ultimately, a ride to a hospital for a six-month stay and a painful self-discovery that cuts down to the bone. Through it all he never really loses his step, never lets go of his smarts, and always projects quintessential American reason, humor, and hope to make a story not only about drugs, but a compelling study of vulnerability and toughness.
Gender Across Languages
This is the third of a three-volume comprehensive reference work on “Gender across Languages”, which provides systematic descriptions of various categories of gender (grammatical, lexical, referential, social) in 30 languages of diverse genetic, typological and socio-cultural backgrounds. Among the issues discussed for each language are the following: What are the structural properties of the language that have an impact on the relations between language and gender? What are the consequences for areas such as agreement, pronominalisation and word-formation? How is specification of and abstraction from (referential) gender achieved in a language? Is empirical evidence available for the as...

Intermarium
History and collective memories influence a nation, its culture, and institutions; hence, its domestic politics and foreign policy. That is the case in the Intermarium, the land between the Baltic and Black Seas in Eastern Europe. The area is the last unabashed rampart of Western Civilization in the East, and a point of convergence of disparate cultures. Marek Jan Chodakiewicz focuses on the Intermarium for several reasons. Most importantly because, as the inheritor of the freedom and rights stemming from the legacy of the Polish-Lithuanian/Ruthenian Commonwealth, it is culturally and ideologically compatible with American national interests. It is also a gateway to both East and West. Since...
