Since the average attention span these days could best be measured in nanoseconds, I have created a tale with two story lines with the focus switching intermittently like a TV screen. One story is about Annika from the backwoods of Maine being sent out into the wild world with admonition from her father that if she wants to leave this world with a smile on her face, she had better add at least a smidgen of additional knowledge to what we now know about our universe. In her attempt to do that, she stumbles upon the fact that our civilization's justice system, going back even before Christ, is a 2,000-year ritual unimpeded by improvements. Criminals are caught, convicted, and warehoused with their board, room, medical expenses, and supervision all paid for by us. After having been stacked away for a while, they are released and then they return; and this takes place in an enlightened society. Only a dim-witted people would allow anything that stupid to happen. Annika hits on an idea that would solve the mess, but to accomplish this, she needs money. Billions. The alternate story is about how, through sheer ingenuity, she manages to earn that money, thanks to a method so simple that somebody should have thought of it long ago. But nobody did.
This volume illustrates how language revival movements in Russia and elsewhere have often followed a specific pattern of literacy bias in the promotion of a minority’s heritage language, partly neglecting the social and relational aspects of orality. Using the Vepsian Renaissance as an example, this volume brings to the surface a literacy-orality dualism new to the discussion around revival movements. In addition to the more-theoretically oriented scopes, this book addresses all the actors involved in revival movements including activists, scholars and policy-makers, and opens a discussion on literacy and orality, and power and agency in the multiple relational aspects of written and oral practices. This study addresses issues common to language revival movements worldwide and will appeal to researchers of linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, education and language policy, and culture studies.

Veit Harlan (1899-1964) was one of Germany's most controversial and loathed directors. The first English-language biography of the notorious director, Veit Harlan presents an in-depth portrait of the man who is arguably the only Nazi filmmaker with a distinct authorial style and body of work.

This book uses the model theory as a new way to approach Romanticism in contemporary Australian literature. It explores a model of Romantic irony in the poetry of two contemporary Brisbane poets: David Malouf and the Indigenous author Samuel Wagan Watson. The ironic dialectic is applied to the problem of postcolonial place-making in their work.
