The History of Linguistics in Europe
This authoritative and wide-ranging book, first published in 2003, examines the history of western linguistics over a 2000-year timespan, from its origins in ancient Greece up to the crucial moment of change in the Renaissance that laid the foundations of modern linguistics. Some of today's burning questions about language date back a long way: in 1400 BC Plato was asking how words relate to reality. Other questions go back just a few generations, such as our interest in the mechanisms of language change, or in the social factors that shape the way we speak. Vivien Law explores how ideas about language over the centuries have changed to reflect changing modes of thinking. A survey chapter brings the coverage of the book up to the present day. Classified bibliographies and chapters on research resources and the qualities the historian of linguistics needs to develop, provide the reader with the tools to go further.

Beauty's Blade
Tormented by his bastard status, Devon Covington vows to find the signet ring that will prove he is the legitimate heir to his father's estate. When the search leads to Sweden and the deathbed of his childhood friend, Princess Thora-Lisa, Devon faces a new challenge: honor Thora-Lisa's last wish by helping Brigitta, her maid, impersonate the princess and become the healthy bride of Lisa's groom. Brigitta and Devon are blindsided by an undeniable passion for each other. But Brigitta's duty is to marry Erik Bjord and Devon must discredit his loathsome "bastard" title. Then Brigitta's careful masquerade is exposed by her betrothed, forcing Devon to choose: legitimize his birth or protect Brigitta, the only treasure worth claiming.
Syntactic Theory in the High Middle Ages
In this study Michael Covington considers the origins and development of the theories of sentence structure formulated by the Modistae, a group of grammarians and logicians who flourished in Paris between about 1270 and 1310. Some of the concepts of the medieval theoretical framework, notably government and dependency, have survived to the present day, and Dr Covington introduces insights from modern grammatical theories where appropriate. Nevertheless his principal aim is not to compare medieval and modern theories, or to provide a comprehensive historical study. Rather, recognising that 'it is the difference as much as the similarity that makes the Modistae interesting', Dr Covington offers an original critical exegesis of these influential theories. The book will be accessible both to linguists who may know little about medieval philosophy and to medievalists who may know little about linguistics.

In the end, Ned must face the terror alone. He must seek out the phantoms on their own ground and fight them for his very soul. Through a long night of cataclysmic battle… It's him up against them…
Twelve Great Books that Changed the University
Twelve scholars take us on a journey through twelve books that have defined the methodologies and orthodoxies of key disciplines within the university curriculum. These books have not only been formative for their respective disciplines, but have reshaped the university and continue to reframe our understanding of education. Each chapter places a Great Book in its historical context, summarizes the key ideas, and assesses the influence of the text on its discipline and society as a whole. In addition, each contributor offers an evaluation from a Christian perspective, explaining both the benefits of the book and the challenges it presents to a Christian worldview and philosophy of education.
