-Unknown
After suffering an accidental blow to the head which resulted in a brain injury, a young mother's life is forever changed. Writing entirely from the author's point of view, Lisa Mack-Finn describes the heart-wrenching night she began documenting her thoughts as a means of therapy. Hidden behind sunglasses, curtain drawn rooms and seeking refuge from noise and light, she secretly began to list all of the things that she was worthy and deserving of. The list transpired into a thought provoking series of -Unknowns that were never intended to become public, until now. Carefully selected by the author, the -Unknowns are meant to empower anyone at a loss or looking for validation that they are not alone. Using a raw, witty, and provocative voice, Lisa shares her journey as lessons learned which is ultimately paving her way towards peace.
The Canary and the Hammer
"Photographed across four years and four continents, 'The Canary and The Hammer' details our reverence for gold and its role in humanity's ruthless pursuit of progress. Through a mix of image, text and archival material, the third book by British artist Lisa Barnard provides insight into the troubled history of gold and the complex ways it intersects with the global economy. Gold is ubiquitous in modern life; the mineral is concealed at the heart of much of the technology we use and is, most fundamentally, a potent symbol of value, beauty, purity, greed and political power. The Canary and The Hammer strives to connect these disparate stories -- from the mania of the gold rush and the brutal ...
Bridge to No Good
After the murder of his fiancée, Mack Thomas goes to his uncle Roy's ranch in Texas. While there, he learns that the death of his wife, which happened nearly two years ago, wasn't an accident as he previously believed, but murder. After getting a description of the man responsible and knowing that it had something to do with the refuge project in Minnesota, he returns home.When he gets there he learns that two boys have been murdered much the same way his fiancée, Mandy was the previous summer. While talking to his friend, Dale Magee, the Clayborne County Sheriff, at one of the murder sites where a new bridge is under construction, Dale offers Mack a job as deputy sheriff and Mack accepts it. Then while they're at the bridge, Mack has a serious disagreement with the construction men.On his first full day on the job, Mack is ambushed and shot, but 4 days later he's back on the job, eager to find the killer of the boys and the man who killed his wife, hoping that killer will help him to Jason Cheman, the man primarily responsible to the death of Mandy.
The Journey
Sometimes we live a life that inspires others. It's not about whom we are and who we choose to be with, but how we spend that time together. Stephen Rosenzweig takes us on The Journey through the maze of his life; a unique life that few people will ever have the chance to experience. His is a life encompassing both the joy of love and the pain of loss. He encourages us that to really live a full life, a part of us must die. We must let go of the past negativity; and find the positive in our new experiences. Only then can we truly begin to live. According to the author, to live is to love, really love. Love is hope crystallized into the dreams of tomorrows to come. There are moments of oneness between the greater power, the Great Spirit, and the oneness of the conscious energy of the universe. God by whatever name you choose lets us know when we are on the right path to reach our desired destination while we live.
Redemption
In retrospect, Demon Kind hates everything Good and everything in general. It is part of their nature, however, this story is about a half-demon born into the Demonic Way of Life...one who hates this specific living for reasons he does not know why he holds. Kenji-Ken is his name, and this is his tale of his road to Redemption...

God's Very Special People
Someone that is very special to your children has just died. What can you put in their hands to help them understand? Julia Mack created God's Very Special People as a hands on activity to walk children through the concepts of death and going to heaven. It gives answers to questions like why people have to die, why they died now and what is going on in heaven. Reaching out to grieving children is the mission of God's Very Special People. 'In the midst of questions and sadness over the death of a loved one, this activity book brings joy, peace, and understanding to children about God's love for all and heaven as God's special place for Christians to be together again.' Rev. Ron Miller, Redeemer Lutheran Church, Peoria, IL
Canonical Morphology and Syntax
This is the first book to present Canonical Typology, a framework for comparing constructions and categories across languages. The canonical method takes the criteria used to define particular categories or phenomena (eg negation, finiteness, possession) to create a multidimensional space in which language-specific instances can be placed. In this way, the issue of fit becomes a matter of greater or lesser proximity to a canonical ideal. Drawing on the expertise of world class scholars in the field, the book addresses the issue of cross-linguistic comparability, illustrates the range of areas - from morphosyntactic features to reported speech - to which linguists are currently applying this methodology, and explores to what degree the approach succeeds in discovering the elusive canon of linguistic phenomena.
Cross-Categorial Classification
Languages in which non-finite verbs (infinitives, gerunds etc.) are classified using the same linguistic means as nouns are rare. This typologically unusual phenomenon is found in some Atlantic (Niger-Congo) languages, including Jóola languages like Eegimaa, Fogny and Kwatay, where several different noun class/gender prefixes (NCPs) are used to classify both nouns and verbs. In this book, it is argued following Sagna (2008), that these parallel morphosyntactic classifications in the nominal domain and verbal domains also reflect parallel semantic categorisation of entities and events. The main topics investigated in this book are word class flexibility between nouns and verbs, non-finiteness, noun class/gender (where morphological classes are analysed separately from agreement classes) and the semantic principles underlying the categorisation of entities and events. One of the central findings proposed in this book is that instances of NCP alternations on non-finite verbs reflect strategies of event delimitation. This book will be of interest to scholars investigation parts-of-speech systems, finiteness, systems of nominal and verbal classification, and linguistic categorization.
