Grania regresa a su Irlanda natal dispuesta a empezar una nueva vida, pero un viejo y oscuro secreto familiar se interpone en su camino. Una figura diminuta y descalza al borde del acantilado, una melena pelirroja que se mueve con las ráfagas de viento, un vestido blanco hasta los tobillos...

This volume offers qualitative as well as corpus-based quantitative studies on three domains of grammatical variation in the British Isles. All studies draw heavily on the Freiburg English Dialect Corpus (FRED), a computerized corpus for predominantly British English dialects comprising some 2.5 million words. Besides an account of FRED and the advantages which a functional-typological framework offers for the study of dialect grammar, the volume includes the following three substantial studies. Tanja Herrmann's study is the first systematic cross-regional study of relativization strategies for Scotland, Northern Ireland, and four major dialect areas in England. In her research design Hermann has included a number of issues crucial in typological research on relative clauses, above all the Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy. Lukas Pietsch investigates the so-called Northern Subject Rule, a special agreement phenomenon known from Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. His...

INTRODUCTION These recipes are the result of years of hard labor, personal risk, and great treachery. To get these recipes involved savage coercion and brutality. Once I almost killed a man just to learn the secret of his fondue. And now, for the first time ever, I literally drag these guarded treasures from their steel-lock boxes for your own pleasure and amusement. During my cruel retreat at Club Fed, I observed two main types of eaters. The first and smaller group is the prison gourmets. These folks take great pride in cooking. Their delicious banquet spreads are part of a larger cultural ritual. Ethnic groups, such as Latinos and Asians, often celebrate a rich culture of good food that is carried over into prison life. Here, it is a part of their regular social cohesion. To see this type of eater cooking is like watching a chef at work in a bistro. Producing a meal may take all afternoon and involve a small army of participants. They can be seen around the microwave stirring, takin...

From Back Home documents a rural Sweden far removed from the big city. Photographers Anders Petersen (born 1944) and JH Engström (born 1969) both hail from the rural county of Värmland in Sweden, and have returned there to produce this marvelous collaboration. The result is an intimate journey among people, experiences and landscapes spanning over 300 pages. Engström writes of the project: "The land between Klarälven River and the chestnut tree at Ekallén is full of little hard memories of sad and lonely times, but there is also a streak of warm confidence that runs all the way up to Älgsjövallen, a place of fairytale creatures and inquisitive moose. I am carrying my camera, shooting these old dreams through the foliage. It means my memories can never be destroyed because they no longer end in themselves." And Petersen writes: "I've returned to something my body and emotions recognize." Product details ...

Until recently, religious institutions have been organized to suit the traditional American family, where the wife stayed at home, caring for children. Today, churches and synagogues are beginning to adapt to the reality of the American family: dual-career marriages, high levels of divorce, interfaith marriages, partnerships that may not be marriages. Religious organizations must serve families that don't fall into the Ozzie and Harriet mold. The first group of papers in this edited volume documents changing trends in the connection between religion, work, and the family. In the second part of the book, we see how changing families and flexible congregations are experimenting with new forms of religious life. Product details Format Paperback | 370 pages ...

Mit Wilhelm Furtwängler sehen viele in Bachs kirchlichen Werken, in seiner Gläubigkeit, den höchsten Ausdruck und die geistige Quelle seiner Kunst. Kompositionen für den Gottesdienst sind zum weitaus größten Teil die in diesem Band erläuterten Vokalwerke, die "Matthäus-" und die "Johannes-Passion", das "Weihnachtsoratorium", das "Magnificat", die Messen und Motetten. Unter den weit über 200 Kantaten aber finden sich viele weltliche, die Bachs musikdramatische Begabung zeigen und bedauern lassen, dass sie sich nie in einer Oper geäußert hat; ein beliebtes Meisterwerk dieser Gattung ist die "Kaffeekantate" mit dem gewiss selbst für Sachsen erstaunlichen Fazit: "Ei! wie schmeckt der Coffee süße, lieblicher als tausend Küsse."
