Released in the US for the first time, this is Paul Kearney's stunning novel of second chances in a world of battle and danger. John Willoughby is being pulled between worlds. Or he is going mad, ‘riding the unicorn’ as his prison officer colleagues would say. It’s clear to Willoughby it must be the latter. Disappearing in the middle of his prison shift from among convicts, appearing in a makeshift medieval encampment for minutes before tumbling back to the real world, Willoughby believes his mind is simply breaking apart. He finds no solace at home, with a wife who has grown to dislike him and a daughter who can barely hide her disgust. He’s realised he isn’t worth anyone’s time, barely even his own, and falls into drinking and violence guaranteed to bring about his downfall. Except in this other world, in this winter land of first-settlers he is a man with a purpose, a man upon whom others must rely. Persuaded to kill a King so as to save a people, Willoughby finds that in another world, with a second chance he may be the kind of man he had always wanted to be after all.

During the days of Cowboys and Indians, there was a tribe of Navajo Indians that lived in a valley below a mountain called UnicornMountain.

He thought that a unicorn was the same thing as a horse. They looked the same, but the unicorn has a horn. One day the little Indian boy went up the mountain to see for himself what a unicorn is. The baby unicorn and little Indian boy met, and became the best of friends. They became so close that they started calling each other brother and sister. The little Indian would try to coach the baby unicorn how to fly. She could not understand that you cannot fly without your wings.

Mental Spaces is the classic introduction to the study of mental spaces and conceptual projection, as revealed through the structure and use of language. It examines in detail the dynamic construction of connected domains as discourse unfolds. The discovery of mental space organization has modified our conception of language and thought: powerful and uniform accounts of superficially disparate phenomena have become available in the areas of reference, presupposition projection, counterfactual and analogical reasoning, metaphor and metonymy, and time and aspect in discourse. The present work lays the foundation for this research. It uncovers simple and general principles that lie behind the awesome complexity of everyday logic.
It is shortly after the great flood, and early in the history of mankind. It is a time of much discovery and invention. Man is becoming populace and stretching out over the earth. All men speak the same language, but they are showing signs of diversity. Suddenly an idea arises among men to cease from diversifying and from spreading apart and for all men to come together in unity and to build as one mind and one nation. And as man sets on his endeavor to come together as one people in one land, they continue to discover and to invent. Yet it is written in the Bible that there is no new thing under the sun. Are we ever discovering, or do we only rediscover? And is there a limit to how much we are allowed to rediscover? History tells us that indeed there is.
In his foreword to the original edition of this classic of functionalism, typology and diachrony, Dwight Bolinger wrote: "I foresee it as one of the truly prizes statements of our current knowledge...a book about understanding done with deep understanding – of language and its place in Nature and in the nature of humankind... The book is rich in insights, even for those who have been with linguistics for a long time. And beginners could be thankful for having it as a starting point, from which so many past mistakes have been shed". Thoroughly revised, corrected and updated, On Understanding Grammar remains, as its author intended it in 1979, a book about trying to make sense of human language and of doing linguistics. Language is considered here from multiple perspectives, intersecting with cognition and communication, typology and universals, grammaticalization, development and evolution. Within such a broad cross-disciplinary context, grammar is viewed as an automated, structured language-processing device, assembled through evolution, diachrony and use. Cross-language diversity is not arbitrary, but rather is tightly constrained and adaptively motivated, with the balance between universality and diversity mediated through development, be it evolutionary or diachronic. The book's take on language harkens back to the works of illustrious antecedents such as F. Bopp, W. von Humbold, H. Paul, A. Meillet, O. Jespersen and G. Zipf, offering a coherent alternative to the methodological and theoretical strictures of Saussure, Bloomfield and Chomsky.
