Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life. - William Golding, author of Lord of the Files and Rites of Passage Hop on your bicycle, discover Northeast Ohio, and grab a bite to eat along the way.

Every victory comes at a cost. The trail has gone cold. For months now, Emery Hazard and John-Henry Somerset have been trying to find something—anything—that might help them uncover the truth about the criminal organization operating out of the Cottonmouth Club. But every lead has turned out to be a dead end, and every step forward has cost them two steps back. Until, one night, John-Henry is arrested for a terrible crime. As their friends gather again in Wahredua, Emery and John-Henry must rush to prove John-Henry's innocence. The falsified evidence used to implicate him provides them with fresh clues, but as the charges against John-Henry ripple out into the community, they find themselves without their usual resources, and facing new and unexpected opposition. Putting an end to this evil, they discover, might be possible. All it will cost them is everything.

This volume accounts for the motives for contemporary lexical borrowing from English, using a comparative approach and a broad cross-cultural perspective. It investigates the processes involved in the penetration of English vocabulary into new environments and the extent of their integration into twelve languages representing several language families, including Icelandic, Dutch, French, Russian, Hungarian, Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Persian, Japanese, Taiwan Chinese, and several languages spoken in southern India. Some of these languages are studied here in the context of borrowing for the first time ever. All in all, this volume suggests that the English lexical 'invasion', as it is often referred to, is a natural and inevitable process. It is driven by psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, and socio-historical factors, of which the primary determinants of variability are associated with ethnic and linguistic diversity.
Let's face it: your GP has never swallowed a bumble bee at 70mph; been declared clinically dead (twice); presided over The Most Dysfunctional Family in Western Civilisation; endured weeks of rabies injections (thanks to a misunderstanding with a bat); received a mistaken diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease; broken his neck in a quad bike accident; survived a (near) direct hit by a plane; or personally tested every drug known to modern science. Ozzy Osbourne has. So why not join the growing ranks of patients who come to the Prince of Darkness for advice on everything from the pitfalls of sleeping with your mothers' younger boyfriend, to men who burst inexplicably into tears during urination? Actually . . .there are lots of very good reasons not to do this. Please don't let them stop you. Based on his runaway hit columns in the Sunday Times and Rolling Stone, Trust Me, I'm Dr Ozzy is outrageously hilarious, oddly informative, and the most entertaining consultation you'll ever have.
