Herbert Clark argues that language use is more than the sum of a speaker speaking and a listener listening. It is the joint action that emerges when speakers and listeners, writers and readers perform their individual actions in coordination, as ensembles.

The officers of the Delta shift for the Crest Police Department in central Oklahoma work the graveyard shift. They work from 11 p.m. until 7 a.m. protecting the citizens of the City of Crest. They do routine police work like answering calls for service, traffic enforcement, writing reports and anything that is needed of them to insure the safety and well being of the City of Crest. A large shipment belonging to a criminal enterprise has been lost. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has information about the shipment and they too have lost contact. Local contacts and the criminal enterprise are looking hard for the shipment, but four police officers of the Delta shift have already found it. As this story progresses the suspense on what is going to happen next takes the medium sized City of Crest into an unfamiliar setting of drugs, money, murder, good cops, and bad cops.

The definitive biography of a major American composer and musical leader
As the landscape of teacher education developed during the late 1800s, historical antecedents of Butler University's College of Education initiated what we now know as long-term commitments to work and service at local, state, and national levels.
