Lovers' Perjuries, Or, the Clandestine Courtship of Jane Fairfax & Frank Churchill
Have you ever wondered about the hidden romance contained within Jane Austen's Emma? This literary retelling of Austen's classic novel focuses on the courtship and secret engagement of Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill. How did two people of such evidently disparate temperaments fall in love? How was "the most upright female mind in the creation" persuaded to keep their engagement secret? What were the thoughts and feelings of each as events unfolded during that spring and summer in Highbury? Written with great fidelity to the original, Lovers' Perjuries fills in all the details of scenes only hinted at in Emma. It also introduces new characters in a substantial subplot inspired by Persuasion, but featuring a lively heroine more reminiscent of Elizabeth Bennet than Anne Elliot. NOTE: THIS IS THE COMPLETE TEXT IN ONE VOLUME.

Biological Perspectives on Language
Profoundly influenced by the analyses, of contemporary linguistics, these original contributions bring a number of different views to bear on important issues in a controversial area of study. The linguistic structures and language-related processes the book deals with are for the most part central (syntactic structures, phonological representations, semantic readings) rather than peripheral (acousticphonetic structures and the perception and production of these structures) aspects of language. Each section contains a summarizing introduction. Section I takes up issues at the interface of linguistics and neurology: The Concept of a Mental Organ for Language; Neural Mechanisms, Aphasia, and T...

Forms of Life
The novel contains imagined lives that achieve a kind of meaning and intensity our own lives do not. Out of the novelist's moral imagination--the breadth and depth of his awareness of human motivations, tensions, and complexities--emerge fictional persons through whom we learn to read ourselves. This eloquent book, exploring fictional lives in crucial moments of choice and change, stresses both their difference from and their deep connections with life. Martin Price writes here about ways in which character has been conceived and presented in the novels of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Beginning with chapters that cogently argue the artistic value of character, Price then dea...
The Five Points Concluded
THE FIVE POINTS CONCLUDED completes Rocco Dormarunno's retrospective into the Wild, Wild Lower East Side of 19th century Manhattan. Here is Hell-Cat Jane, whose sharpened wit, teeth and nails tear through a world dominated by men. Here are John and Bart, two gun-toting bank robbers who try to rescue a girl from a white-slavery ring. And here are Police Superintendent Michael Connery and his counterpart, Dead Rabbit gang leader Petey Daley, surviving, in their own ways, the chaos of it all. Mr. Dormarunno's previous book, THE FIVE POINTS, earned a position of "Suggested Reading" on the website WWW.IRISHINNYC.FREESERVERS.COM, as well as the following praise from Jo Shenman's cable-TV program, INTO THE 21St: "A terrific book about a period in New York's history which until recently has been swept under the rug. I urge everyone with an interest in history or New York to read it!"
Angel of Mercy: Calamity Jane?
I wrote this to answer questions I had after reading one line while researching smallpox: Calamity Jane saved six men from smallpox at the white rock cabin. There were no answers to my questions, who, how, why, so I answered those questions including others I had. That is the fiction as there are facts about her also.

Alcohol Problems
The helplessness often felt by families involved with drinkers is frequently shared by professionals and by the drinkers themselves. This book uses these parallel experiences to build a resource that provides an understanding of why people may drink to excess, and combines this with illustrations of ways of dealing with problems linked to drinking.
