Two Week WAC
Experience what it was like to be one of the first female soldiers in the US Army. In 1978, the Women’s Army Corps had just been disbanded, and the army—having been a social experiment and the melting pot for every new political requirement—grudgingly accepted women into their ranks. Bea Ann Amark was among them. She set out to drive trucks for the army and joined the 232nd Transportation Company and soon found herself stationed in West Germany in the late 1970s. The Cold War was in fully swing, and the company’s group of truck drivers suddenly became family, both on and off the road. The time Amark spent there shaped the way she lived the rest of her life and gave her an adventure she would never forget. An in-depth and personal look at a woman’s life in the army, Two-Week WAC tells the story of one woman’s army service, an unexpected choice that changed the course of her life.

'We're trying to do things differently'
Students and staff from KCL’s Social Sciences BA programme turn the research lens back on their own world and together explore the many challenges of ‘trying to do things differently’ in Higher Education. In doing so, they grapple with fundamental questions in education such as: how to meaningfully foreground democracy, partnership, and emotional care; the role and limits of free speech; and how to deconstruct enduring inequality and marginalisation. In a period of considerable change and challenge for education, there is surely no better time to be critically analysing the principles guiding our universities through the lens of real-life practice. "In a period when university arrangem...
Grammar in Everyday Talk
Drawing on everyday telephone and video interactions, this book surveys how English speakers use grammar to formulate responses in ordinary conversation. The authors show that speakers build their responses in a variety of ways: the responses can be longer or shorter, repetitive or not, and can be uttered with different intonational 'melodies'. Focusing on four sequence types: responses to questions ('What time are we leaving?' - 'Seven'), responses to informings ('The May Company are sure having a big sale' - 'Are they?'), responses to assessments ('Track walking is so boring. Even with headphones' - 'It is'), and responses to requests ('Please don't tell Adeline' - 'Oh no I won't say anything'), they argue that an interactional approach holds the key to explaining why some types of utterances in English conversation seem to have something 'missing' and others seem overly wordy.
