Chameleon
Feisty Rosa Arroya is a lead investigator for the New York Police Department. On "desk duty" after a gunshot wound to her leg leaves her temporarily in a wheelchair, Rosa is determined to forget about her troubled past. Yet Rosa cannot shake the memory of Jack Bucco, a hardened felon she was determined to bring down. Rosa hides a secret, a torturous and hopeless love for a man from her past. However, a chance meeting on the streets of New York City with a stranger who seems oddly familiar raises her suspicions and sends her on the chase for her old lover once again. Chameleon is a thrilling saga filled with suspense, romance, and intrigue as the lives of Rosa Arroya and Jack Bucco careen dangerously down parallel paths, on opposite sides of the law. As Rosa becomes more determined to solve the top secret case named "Chameleon", the action gathers steam while she tracks her prey across New England and then to Europe. In the end, Rosa must decide whether to follow the law or her love, as she struggles to capture the one man who has in turn captured her heart.
Ladies Or Gentlemen
From Greek drama through vaudeville and modern cinema, nothing in the theatrical experience has ever guaranteed a laugh like a man in a dress. This spectacular pictorial history examines the grand tradition of male cross-dressing in the movies through more than 700 photos, more than half of which are previously unpublished. The screen's greatest stars, from comedians like Buster Keaton and Peter Sellers to "serious" actors like Marlon Brando and Max von Sydow, are pictured in everything from bustiers to ball gowns. Just as in real life, the cinematic motives for cross-dressing are complex, ranging from plot device (I Was a Male War Bride) and social commentary (Tootsie) to the simple sight gags of Laurel and Hardy. The book explores these and myriad other reasons actors are coaxed out of dress suits and into dresses. By turns provocative, serious, and silly, Ladies or Gentlemen is a delightful study of a seldom-explored facet of cinema history.
French Connection
The French have long been part of the Australian story. From talented gold fields photographer Antoine Fauchery and infighting in the upper echelons of Melbourne society as to who should run Alliance Française to the Playoust family whose Australian-born sons enlisted with the French army in the First World War. French Connection paints an intricate portrait of the complex connections between the two nations. Alexis Bergantz provides a fascinating insight into how the idea of France influenced a new colony anxious to prove itself. Eager to demarcate themselves from Britain, many Australians saw France as a more cosmopolitan – and decadent – alternative to a stodgy Victorian world order....
Language and Sexuality
This lively and accessible textbook provides a clear introduction to the relationship between language and sexuality.
The Sonority Controversy
Sonority has a long and contentious history. It has often been invoked by linguists as an explanatory principle underlying various cross-linguistic phonotactic generalizations, especially within the domain of the syllable. However, many phonologists and phoneticians have expressed concerns about the adequacy of formal accounts based on sonority, including even doubts about the very existence of sonority itself. To date, the topic of sonority has never been the focus of an entire book. Consequently, this is the first complete volume that explores diverging viewpoints about phonological phenomena rooted in sonority taken from numerous languages. All of the contributors are well-known and respe...
Preferred Argument Structure
Preferred Argument Structure offers a profound insight into the relationship between language use and grammatical structure. In his original publication on Preferred Argument Structure, Du Bois (1987) demonstrated the power of this perspective by using it to explain the origins of ergativity and ergative marking systems. Since this work, the general applicability of Preferred Argument Structure has been demonstrated in studies of language after language. In this collection, the authors move beyond verifying Preferred Argument Structure as a property of a given language. They use the methodology to reveal more subtle aspects of the patterns, for example, to look across languages, diachronically or synchronically, to examine particular grammatical relations, and to examine special populations or particular genres. This volume will appeal to linguists interested in the relationship of pragmatics and grammar generally, in the typology of grammatical relations, and in explanations derived from data- and corpus-based approaches to analysis.
The Foleys from County Clare, Ireland
Malachy Foley (1740-1814) was born in County Clare, Ireland and was the father of Patrick Foley (1782-1866) who was born in Killinny, County Clare, Ireland. Patrick married Mary Keating and they were the parents of eleven children, one of whom was Mathew Foley (1829-1911) who was born in Ireland but immigrated to America where he married Mary Ann Griffin (1839-1893). They were the parents of nine children. Descendants live in the United States.
American Women Pharmacists

Beginning with the early colonial days and extending to the present, this well-referenced volume examines the role of women in pharmacy. It...
The New Psychology of Language
From the point of view of psychology and cognitive science, much of modern linguistics is too formal and mathematical to be of much use. The New Psychology of Language volumes broke new ground by introducing functional and cognitive approaches to language structure in terms already familiar to psychologists, thus defining the next era in the scientific study of language. The Classic Edition volumes re-introduce some of the most important cognitive and functional linguists working in the field. They include a new introduction by Michael Tomasello in which he reviews what has changed since the volumes were first published and highlights the fundamental insights of the original authors. The New Psychology of Language volumes are a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how cognitive and functional linguistics has become the thriving perspective on the scientific study of language that it is today.
