A Grammar of Modern Baba Malay
This book documents modern Baba Malay, a critically endangered Austronesian-based contact language with a Sinitic substrate. Formed via intermarriage between Hokkien-speaking male traders and indigenous women in the Malay Peninsula, the language has less than 1,000 speakers in Singapore and less than 1,000 speakers in Malacca, Malaysia. This volume fills a gap for reference grammars of contact languages in general. Reference grammars written on contact languages are rare, and much rarer is a reference grammar written about a critically endangered Austronesian-based contact language. The reference grammar, which aims to be useful to linguists and general readers interested in Baba Malay, describes the language’s sociohistorical background, its circumstances of endangerment, and provides information regarding the phonology, parts of speech, and syntax of Baba Malay as spoken in Singapore. A chapter that differentiates this variety from that spoken in Malacca is also included. The grammar demonstrates that the nature of Baba Malay is highly systematic, and not altogether simple, providing structural information for those who are interested in the typology of contact languages.
Experiments with Mixtures
This guide shows how to design and set up mixture experiments, then analyze the data and draw inferences from the results. Virtually every technique that has appeared in the literature of mixtures can be found here and, for each method, computing formulas are provided with completely worked examples. Coverage begins with Scheffe lattice designs, introducing the use of independent variables and ends with the most current methods. Almost all of the numerical examples are taken from real experiments. It should serve as a supplementary text for courses on experimental design and statistical methods as well as a ready reference to important techniques for research workers in such fields as engineering, the physical sciences, agriculture and medicine.
The Grande Odalisque
Alex and Carole, friends since childhood, are now (literal) partners in crime. But the heist - to steal the Ingres painting The Grande Odalisque from the Louvre in Paris - is too much for the duo to handle, so they bring in Clarence, a bureaucrat’s son with a price on his head by a Mexican drug cartel and, more importantly, an arms dealer. Next is Sam, a stunt motorcyclist and boxer by trade, who proves trigger happy with tranquilizer darts. Using soda can smoke bombs, rocket launchers, and hang gliders, Alex, Carole, and Sam set off a set of circumstances that results in a battle with the French Special Forces - and their partnership, which was on the rocks, will never be the same again. Ruppert and Mulot, two of the most innovative comic creators in the world, team up with multiple Angouleme prize winner Bastien Vives to bring you this impossibly funny, violent, and sexy action-packed thriller.

Les week-ends de Ruppert & Mulot
Ruppert et Mulot sont des inventeurs graphiques. Depuis leurs débuts à l'Association jusqu'à leurs récents succès dans la collection "Aire Libre" ? "La technique du périnée" ou encore "La grande odalisque" et "Olympia" en collaboration avec Bastien Vivès -, en passant par leurs travaux plastiques et expositions diverses, les dessinateurs de ce binôme n'ont eu de cesse de réinventer, avec humour et légèreté, le langage de la bande dessinée. Initialement prépubliés dans le supplément "Culture & idées" du journal Le Monde, Les week-ends de Ruppert & Mulot sont leur nouvelle trouvaille narrative : des strips verticaux qui jouent sur l'espace et les habitudes de lecture, émaillés d'un ton absurde et d'un sens aigu du dialogue. Avec un format inédit dans la collection "Aire Libre", ces perles d'humour y trouvent pourtant très logiquement leur place, et ne donnent qu'une envie : passer tous nos week-ends avec Ruppert et Mulot !
