From the publication of Noam Chomsky`s revolutionary Syntactic Structures in 1957, to the counter-revolutions that followed, linguistics has seen many fashions over the years. With new ideas and discoveries constantly challenging the ways we look at language, Ronald Macaulay provides a brief and lively introduction to some of the different approaches linguists have taken to the study of language in all its complexity. Considering language as Meaning, Sound, Form, Communication, Identity, History and Symbol, Macaulay examines the main issues, debates and ideas that have emerged in language study over the last fifty years. Designed for the intending student, as well as the non-specialist general reader with an interest in language, Seven...
It was late in 1973. As strikes and blackouts ravaged the country during the Heath government`s `Winter of Discontent`, members of a wealthy, aristocratic family were being disposed of in various grotesque ways - by reptile, by bomb, by barber. As the hours of daylight diminish towards Christmas, Arthur Bryant and John May of the Met`s Peculiar Crimes Unit know that time is the key - and time is running out for the family and the police. The ill-matched duo`s investigations lead them into a hidden world of class conflict, craftsmanship and the murky, clandestine loyalties of big business. But what have seventy-seven ticking clocks got to do with it? With Arthur Bryant at his rudest, John May at his most exasperated and a gallery of...

An Armistead Maupin for the real world, she has the gift of assembling a huge and irresistible cast of freaks and wonders, while remaining faithful to her hard core of friends and fans: those glamorous, rebellious, crazy single women, too close to forty, who are trying hard not to turn from the Audrey Hepburn of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY`S into the Glen Close of FATAL ATTRACTION, and are - still - looking for love.

The time is 1995, but everybody has a past. Brilliant Australian Caroline can command everyone except her own ghoulish mother, which means that things aren`t easy for Josh and Zoe, her husband with Stravinsky-glasses and twelve-year-old daughter. Zoe reads girls` ballet books and longs for lessons; a thing denied her until a chance encounter on a school French exchange. Meanwhile, on the east coast of Africa, Hattie, Josh`s first love, now writes girls` ballet books - that`s when she can carve out the space between her husband and her crosspatch daughter. From far and wide, they are all drawn together: a masquerade in which things are not always what they seem.

Sex and design have a lot in common. They are imagined, questioned, and in the best of cases, regularly reinvented. "Sex in Design" presents an exceptionally loaded and diverse collection of works. The fun connotations associated with sex lighten up the often elitist notion of design, while the design aspect fosters an imaginative and reflexive approach towards sex. This way both areas develop a relationship that goes beyond the vulgar without becoming obscure. Издание на английском, французском и немецком языках. Формат: 23 см х 27 см.

Throughout the centuries, royal mistresses have been worshiped, feared, envied, and reviled. They set the fashions, encouraged the arts, and, in some cases, ruled nations. As she did with Sex with the Queen, Eleanor Herman takes readers into the throne rooms and bedrooms of Europe`s most powerful monarchs to relate history from the women`s point of view. She finds that in most cases, the main function of a royal mistress was not providing the king with sex as much as with companionship. "Open Sex With Kings at almost any page and you`ll find yourself immersed in a bawdy, deliciously appealing illicit scene occurring in the highest Herman has written an enlightening social history that is great fun to read."
Throughout the centuries, royal mistresses have been worshiped, feared, envied, and reviled. They set the fashions, encouraged the arts, and, in some cases, ruled nations. Eleanor Herman`s "Sex with Kings" takes us into the throne rooms and bedrooms of Europe`s most powerful monarchs. Alive with flamboyant characters, outrageous humor, and stirring poignancy, this glittering tale of passion and politics chronicles five hundred years of scintillating women and the kings who loved them. Curiously, the main function of a royal mistress was not to provide the king with sex but with companionship. Forced to marry repulsive foreign princesses, kings sought solace with women of their own choice. And what women they were! From Madame de...
