Getting others to do things
Getting others to do things is a central part of social interaction in any human society. Language is our main tool for this purpose. In this book, we show that sequences of interaction in which one person’s behaviour solicits or occasions another’s assistance or collaboration share common structural properties that provide a basis for the systematic comparison of this domain across languages. The goal of this comparison is to uncover similarities and differences in how language and other conduct are used in carrying out social action around the world, including different kinds of requests, orders, suggestions, and other actions brought together under the rubric of recruitment.
The Old Mr. Hanson Trilogies
As he quietly walked along the pier shortly before sunset, he felt the evening breeze start to pick up and blow the humid air into the palm trees. He could hear the rustle of the wind through the live oaks. His cane steadied him on the uneven planks of the narrow pier as he approached the solitary figure sitting at the end. Meet Mr. Hanson, a spry old codger who has a way of following murder, mayhem, chaos, and affairs of the heart anywhere between Europe and Shea's Cove on the Indian River. Decked out in his red baseball cap with the Gothic H, his brown sweater, and scuffed shoes, Mr. Hanson is ready to travel and enjoy life, but the world always intrudes. This eclectic collection of short stories teases and surprises, but old Mr. Hanson never disappoints. He shuts the doors to his past and forges ahead to a bright future. He even finds dignity lying in the middle of St. Mark's Square after a pigeon attack. And on a snowy Christmas Eve, he helps drive away depression on a tour bus in Salzburg. Come meet this tenacious little man and his friends who never fear what tomorrow might bring!
East German Girl
War memories do not have an age requirement. They force you to mature and give you no choice but to cope with the realities of the world. In this memoir, author Sigrid Jackson tells what it was like being a child of war in East Germany before and after World War II. In East German Girl, Jackson describes what it was like to live through the bombing raids, food shortages, diphtheria, communism, and being forced to leave her home with her mother and brother to be relocated to a rural farm. Using personal anecdotes to illustrate how God has worked in her life, Jackson demonstrates the courage that was necessary to escape East Germany to freedom in the west when she was just twelve years old. From an alcoholic, absentee father to an unsuspecting future husband, life continuously threw her curveballs, but East German Girl narrates an inspirational story of war, communism, family betrayal, and finally resilience.
Behind the Scenes of the New Testament
This authoritative volume brings together a team of world-class scholars to cover the full range of New Testament backgrounds studies in a concise, up-to-date, and comprehensive manner. Drawing on the expertise of specialists in the areas of archaeological, historical, and biblical studies, this book provides concise treatments of a wide breadth of topics related to the world of the early Christ followers. The book offers compact overviews of key historical issues, facilitating enriched understandings of the significance and force of the texts of the New Testament in their original contexts. Meant to be used alongside traditional literature-based canonical surveys, this one-stop introduction to New Testament backgrounds fills a gap in typical introduction to the Bible courses and is ideal for undergraduate or seminary classes. It is beautifully designed and includes photographs, line drawings, maps, charts, and tables, which will facilitate its use in the classroom.
