Thoughts
We are surrounded by images in our daily life as never before. In Jasser Membreno's beautiful book,Pensamientos, he relieves our saturation from the dense mundane and lifts us into the heights of human imagination, on a masterful flight to the world of his unique imagery and abstract poetry. It is a journey through his surrealistic narrative without a narrative, with fantastical creatures--reawakening our imagination from the overexposed visual landscape of our bit-filled times to the thrilling recollection of the reality and absurdity of our dream worlds. He reminds us of the vastness of the human mind. On entering this universe you will often find yourself in two places at once, and equally as often in two languages at once. Translated from English into Spanish, laid side by side, Gloria Alvarez has kept the keen sonic sensibility present in Membreno's pointed poetry, at times coy, at times absurd.
A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse
Does gender condition politicians’ discourse strategies in parliament? This is the question we try to answer in A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse: The Andalusian Parliament. This book, written by experts in the field of discourse analysis, covers key aspects of political discourse such as gender, identity and verbal and nonverbal strategies: intensification, enumerative series, non-literal quotations, pseudo-desemantisation, lexical colloquialisation, emotion, eye contact and time management. It provides a large number of examples from a balanced gender parliament, the Andalusian Parliament, and it focuses mainly on argumentation, since parliamentary discourse is above all argumentative. This book will prove invaluable to students and teachers in the field of discourse analysis, and more specifically of political discourse, and will also be very useful to politicians and anyone interested in communication strategies. As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.
Discourse and Politics
Drawing on political discourse from a wide rage of settings and perspectives, this book is set to provide a descriptive and analytical tool for examining political discourse and will be welcomed by anyone interested in discourse analysis in general, and in political discourse in particular. Topics covered in this book include the study of political discourse styles, the use of rhetorical strategies (vocabulary, metaphors, quotations, parentheticals, etc.), the relation between political discourse and society (legitimization, the private-public interface, identities), role of gestures in relation to speech, methods for analysing political discourse, and how to build and exploit a political language corpus.

Capitalism
Two hundred years ago, 90% of human beings lived in conditions we now classify as extreme poverty. Since the emergence of capitalism, this figure has plummeted from 90% to 9%. This fact should be celebrated and studied more than it is. When curious minds grapple with the question, how has prosperity replaced poverty in so many places?, they discover the miracles of free enterprise -eloquently described in Antonella Marty's important new book- including how the profit motive fosters cooperation and innovation, all to satisfy human wants and needs.
International Investment Arbitration and Energy Disputes in the EU
This book contributes to a new paradigm shift towards sustaining the Energy Charter Treaty, which remains the key instrument on global energy governance and foreign investment. The book detangles the misunderstandings produced by Achmea and Micula, drawing upon the consequences of international energy investments in the EU. The author demonstrates a clear solution where ECT tribunals respect the autonomy of EU law, while resolving intra-EU energy disputes. She achieves this by presenting for the first time comprehensive scholarly, jurisprudential and empirical findings proving that EU Law operates a functional role in analysing breaches of investment treaty protection. If applied effectively...

Third Strike
Eminent mystery authors Philip R. Craig and William G. Tapply team up for a richly nuanced new installment in the Brady Coyne/J. W. Jackson series that is a tribute not only to two witty, smart fictional sleuths but also to the enduring friendship of their creators. It's late August, just when thousands of vacationers on beautiful Martha's Vineyard are preparing to go home so the kids can return to school. There's a problem, though. A union has gone on strike, paralyzing the Steamship Authority, which runs the ferries to "America," and creating panic and anger among many tourists and islanders alike. When an explosion destroys a boat's engine room and kills the striker who apparently planted...
