Pornographic Fruitcake Love Story is a comedy based upon a simple, time-tried, rather universal theme - the absurdity of a lover's efforts to please the beloved. A work of light humor, it consists mainly of a writer's bumbling efforts to produce a money making "filthy story" in order to impress a woman who claims to have no faith in men. The story enjoys the liberty of a highly malleable structure, which remains integral throughout the book despite apparent convolutions. The language, plain and unadorned, is consistent with the atmosphere of this distinctly satirical farce and with the...

Jake Alexander, a wealthy trial attorney, lay dead alongside his young lover on the floor of his Florida penthouse. The housekeeper said Jake s exiled son, Dave, ran from the crime scene. Dave asked his law school roommate, Charlie Carne, to represent him. But Charlie had never tried a capital case. The judge said the defense needed an attorney with death-row experience, so Dunstan Dundee joined the team. Dee Dee had ample experience, but his main interest became Jake s financial assistant and ex-lover Suzanne not Dave s innocence. The prosecutor had fingerprints, hair, fibers, and blackmail,...

David will never forget the day he met Theo-as much as he might want to.
On a mission to right a wrong done to his sister as a child, David walks into LAO Schulz, a famous toy Mecca in the heart of New York City. What he sees that day in the stuffed-animal aisle challenges everything he understands about reality.
As David turns the corner, he hears the sound of slapping. He investigates and sees a rather large stuffed bear viciously smacking a toddler around. As quickly as it starts, the attack ends. The bear regards David with cold, plastic eyes, climbs up on its shelf,...

Liu Zhi (c.1662-c.1730), a well-known Muslim scholar in China, published in Chinese outstanding theological works, short treatises, and easy-to-memorize short poems on Islam. He encountered various challenges in his interpretation and transmission of Islamic texts. First, traditional Arabic and Persian Islamic texts used Arabic and Persian concepts to explain Islam. This book answers the question, did Liu Zhi communicate difficult Islamic concepts? Second, Islam has insisted on monotheism. This book discusses whether and how Liu Zhi integrated the basic religious living of the Hui Muslims...

The Second Rush is a history of the minerals boom in Australia over the half-century from the early 1960s to the end of the China minerals boom in 2012. The earlier substantial mining boom--the gold rush of the nineteenth century--created extraordinary prosperity. However, from 1901 to the 1950s, with a few exceptions, mining descended into the doldrums. In the 1940s mining was regarded as belonging to Australia's past and not to its future.
The "Second Rush" began unexpectedly from the 1960s with the development of new export industries, the most prominent being...

This book discusses and explores the relationship between language and world view. David Lee presents recent research in linguistics, drawing together strands from a number of different areas of the subject: the nature of linguistic and conceptual categories, the role of metaphor in the everyday use of language, gender differentiation and social variation in speech.
In this study, David Lee considers a broad range of issues in the light of two contrasting views on language. For much of its history, linguistics has been dominated by a tradition which sees individual languages as...
