Pause and Effect
Over the centuries punctuation has become an essential component of written language. Its primary function is to resolve structural uncertainties in a text, and to signal nuances of semantic significance. The importance of the study of punctuation to a number of disciplines will be widely recognised as a result of the publication of this first definitive history. The first part of Pause and Effect identifies the graphic symbols and deals with their history. It covers the antecedents of the repertory of symbols, as well as the ways in which the repertory was refined and augmented with new symbols to meet changing requirements. The second part offers a short general account of the principal in...

Der unbekannte Wähler?
Bei Bundestagswahlen steht der Wähler mittlerweile ebenso sehr im Rampenlicht wie Politikerinnen und Politiker. Mit einer Vielzahl von Instrumenten wird dem Wahlvolk auf den Zahn gefühlt, sodass – oft schon vor den ersten Hochrechnungen – eigentlich jedem Journalisten, Politiker und Bürger klar ist, warum wer wen gewählt hat. Dass diese Einschätzung häufig auf zweifelhaften Quellen und Verfahren wie O-Tönen aus der Fußgängerzone beruht, spielt keine Rolle. So entstehen moderne Mythen über den deutschen Wähler, die sich trotz erheblicher Veränderungen bei Wählerschaft, Medien und in der politischen Landschaft hartnäckig halten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren nehmen u. a. am Beispiel der Bundestagswahl 2009 diese Mythen unter die Lupe und demaskieren oder untermauern sie. Wählen Frauen anders? Gefährden Wechselwähler die Demokratie in Deutschland? Sind die Volksparteien am Ende?
Black Robe
Laforgue felt his body tremble. What can be keeping them? Has the Commandant refused? Why has he not sent for me? Is this God's punishment for my lie about my hearing? Father Laforgue, an idealistic Jesuit, embarks on a desparate mission to relieve an isolated priest in danger of his life in the wilds of seventeenth-century New France. Black Robe is a tautly suspenseful tale of physical and spiritual adventure, and a meditation on good and evil in the human heart. With an introduction by Colm Tóibín.
A History of the German Language Through Texts
Written in a lively and accessible style, the book looks at the history of German through a wide range of texts, from medical, legal and scientific writing to literature, everyday newspapers and adverts.
Monastic Sermons
Saint Bernard was born in 1090 near Dijon, France. He joined the fifteen-year-old monastery of Cîteaux in 1113. In 1115 he became the founding abbot of Clairvaux Abbey, whence his name, Bernard of Clairvaux. Saint Bernard was a gifted and prolific writer of theological treatises, Scriptural commentaries, letters, and many sermons. The sermons in the collection published here, styled Sermones de diversis (Sermons about Various Topics), lack the specific point of departure that characterizes his other sermons. That is, whereas the sermons on the Song of Songs are a verse-by-verse commentary on that biblical book and his Sermons for the Year follow the liturgical calendar, this collection of sermons deals with his various pastoral concerns. Since Scripture is always Bernard’s point of departure and inspiration, the sermons often read like a Scripture study, but what comes through equally is the voice of an understanding spiritual father who is a masterful student of Scripture, biblical language, and the needs of his monks.

This publication examines how opening sequences in films, classic and contemporary, act as hooks to draw the viewer into the film, showing frame by frame how graphics, type and animation are used to create atmosphere, set tone, and lend impact to movies. From Hitchcock and Godard to Tarantino, Luc Besson, and Tim Burton, this large format coffee table book finally illuminates this critical role designers play in filmmaking and gives credit to those that often go uncredited.
The Beatitudes
Some of the most comforting words a Christian could possibly hear from God are, "I want to bless you." In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ told us that we can come to Him as we are—in need, mourning, oppressed, or hungering—and He will bless us. In Charles Spurgeon's revealing exploration of The Beatitudes, you will learn to...

Discover the way to receive the rich treasures God wants you to have!
