H is for Hanoi
“When the crickets call and the wind is still and the water buffalo all are sleeping,” take a night journey through the streets of Hanoi with an artist who is searching for the city’s Red River. Wafted by dreams that soar like “a hundred white birds,” wander through a city that is stilled and softened by darkness; savor the syrupy fragrance of blossom-filled trees and the music of a cake seller’s song. Meet ancient men, “old as a pagoda,” who eat porridge and chicken feet; listen as the sounds of a “school of motorcycles swim past.” Jump aboard one of them and whiz off into the night.

Questions and Epistemic Stance in Contemporary Spoken British English
This volume explores a model of epistemic stance, according to which speakers can communicate each single piece of information either as known/certain or uncertain or unknown. It presents a qualitative analysis of extracts from the Spoken British National Corpus 2014 to support the idea that questions come from two distinct epistemic positions: the Unknowing and the Uncertain; this latter ranges along two poles: Not Knowing Whether and Believing. In the epistemic continuum, Unknowing questions express a lack of knowledge and range from open to closed and dual wh-questions. On the other hand, Uncertain questions express a lack of certainty and range from maximum uncertainty (Not Knowing Whether-questions advancing a doubt) to minimum uncertainty (Believing-questions advancing a supposition). Both Unknowing and Uncertain questions can be directed either at the answerer’s Knowing or Believing position, depending on their aim. The volume will appeal to scholars concerned with the topic of question design and epistemic stance from a theoretical and analytical perspective, as well as those interested in applying these findings in their teaching practice.

Lost & Found Bangkok
Bangkok is a city that moves too quickly to be pinned down. Life is a constant game of hide-and-seek, of places lost and found. The heart of the city is easy to overlook in the heat and blare and glitz of the place, but has been captured in Lost & Found Bangkok by five photographers who live there and love it.
