Underground
UNDERGROUND is an action and adventure thriller set in the near future. The Underground is a covert organization functioning within our global society-guiding and influencing it but not necessarily controlling it. The Underground was created by Ashton Nash, who is thoroughly disgusted with the injustices, hypocrisies, and double standards of human society. By way of the Underground, Nash is determined to right the wrongs of human society and cure all of our social-cultural, political, economic, and religious ailments. Through a twist of fate brought about by the apparent death of Nash and the internal corruption of the Underground, Harrison Foxx, Aston's high school buddy, finds himself in the middle of a battle for control over the Underground's vast political and financial resources. With nowhere to run or hide, Foxx realizes in order to survive he must outmaneuver his adversaries and destroy the Underground that he unknowingly helped to create.
A Sense of Entitlement
Lying sleepless upon his lavish deathbed in a stale room of old-money opulence, American literary icon Sheldon Harrison battles lung cancer to its dehumanizing end. At his sprawling Martha's Vineyard estate, family and friends mourn the impending loss of a man dubbed the writer of the century. Among the sullen-faced celebrity visitors is summer intern Drew Engle, an English major at Boston University who is as yet uncorrupted by money and power. In a twist of fate, he is the unlikely recipient of a final request from a semi-conscious Harrison. A simple set of instructions and a safety deposit box key lead Drew to the mountains of Sintra, Portugal. High above the bustling town center on the steep walls of the Moorish Castle, Drew reads an inspired confession that changes his life. A swirling tempest of intrigue follows the revelation, threatening to bury Drew under the weight of his discovery. With members of the fabled family staring into the ghastly abyss of irrelevance, no sacrifice is beyond their savage, entitled claws. A Sense of Entitlement challenges the idea of privilege and interprets the timeless question of human value and those who build the scale.
Number
Number is the most underestimated of the grammatical categories. It is deceptively simple yet the number system which philosophers, logicians and many linguists take as the norm - namely the distinction between singular and plural (as in cat versus cats) - is only one of a wide range of possibilities to be found in languages around the world. Some languages, for instance, make more distinctions than English, having three, four or even five different values. Adopting a wide-ranging perspective, Greville Corbett draws on examples from many languages to analyse the possible systems of number. He reveals that the means for signalling number are remarkably varied and are put to a surprising range of special additional uses. By surveying some of the riches of the world s linguistic resources this book makes a major contribution to the typology of categories and demonstrates that languages are much more varied than is generally recognised.
The Anchor War
The 1991 war with Iraq is in its second day. In New York, legendary WBN anchorman Harrison Kiser is murdered by his mistress as millions watch on television. Days later, three journalists launch a desperate, rollicking, soul-searching battle to win the coveted $2.5-million-a-year anchor job. The combatants: David Sheldon, chief Tokyo correspondent. He is handsome, sophisticated and ambitious. His wife thinks he loves WBN more than he loves her. She may be right. Frank West, chief correspondent for WBN's primetime news magazine, "Perspective." West is rugged, aggressive and independent. His love life is a mess. He dates a fetching woman who already has a boyfriend. Marilyn Rhodes, chief Moscow correspondent. She flies to New York and demands a shot at the job. She gets her chance-delivering the news on WBN's "Morning Magazine." She quickly discovers she is stuck in the quicksand of office politics. It's a no-holds-barred battle for the fabulous anchor job-complete with scandals, sex, bombs and a murder mystery.

Ponapean Reference Grammar
Here is the most comprehensive description to date of the indigenous language of the island of Ponape. Designed as a reference volume for Ponapean educators, particularly those working in bilingual education programs, this work will also be of value to English-speaking students of Ponapean and to scholars of other Pacific languages and cultures. The grammar begins with useful background information on Ponape and Ponapean and then systematically explores the phonology, morphology, and syntax of this language. Separate treatment is given to Ponapean honorific speech styles. Also included are an appendix of current Ponapean spelling conventions and a bibliography of selected books and articles useful in the study of this language. This new work is a companion volume to the Ponapean-English Dictionary by the same authors.
