From Simon & Schuster, Sex Lives is #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Baker's sexual self portrait of America. It's America's true stories told by people in their own words.A portrait of Americans' sexuality covers a wide range of sexual experiences, including losing one's virginity, "coming out", sex after marriage, adultery, and less-mainstream sexual practices.

China’s modern history has been marked by deep spatial inequalities between regions, between cities, and between rural and urban areas. Contemporary observers and historians alike have attributed these inequalities to distinct stages of China's political economy: the dualistic economy of semicolonialism, rural-urban divisions in the socialist period, and capital concentration in the reform era. In Pivot of China, Mark Baker shows how different states across twentieth-century China shaped these inequalities in similar ways, concentrating resources in urban and core areas at the expense of rural and regional peripheries.Pivot of China examines this dynamic through the city of Zhengzhou, one of the most dramatic success stories of China’s urbanization: a railroad boomtown of the early twentieth century, a key industrial center and provincial capital of Henan Province in the 1950s, and by the 2020s a “National Central City” of almost ten million people. However, due to the spatial politics of resource concentration, Zhengzhou’s twentieth-century growth as a regional city did not kickstart a wider economic takeoff in its hinterland. Instead, unequal spatial politics generated layers of inequality that China is still grappling with in the twenty-first century.

"I have been using OmniMark for a decade to solve many different kinds of information management problems. When OmniMark Technologies Corporation added features to their excellent language that allowed server functionality and database access, OmniMark became an even better, more powerful platform for data processing. When they made it free, it made me wonder why anyone is still using Perl. I have used OmniMark as a very stable middle-tier programming language that is lightning fast, scaleable, and really fun to use. The language has a certain elegance that, once you learn how to `think OmniMark', you never want to even consider the alternatives. The native hierarchical architecture of the language, plus its luxuriously rich pattern matching syntax and support for structured information using XML and SGML parsing, make OmniMark a real joy. "This book covers the core language, plus practical examples for common Internet programming applications. OmniMark is such a powerful program that I can't think of any Internet programming problem that can't be solved with OmniMark. This book makes that clear in real, understandable terms." -Brian Travis, is the author of OmniMark At Work Volume 1: Getting Started and XML and SOAP Programming for Biz-Talk® Servers "OmniMark has been the secret weapon of markup language programmers since the earliest days of SGML. Its new XML support should bring it to a far wider audience." -Charles F. Goldfarb, is the inventor of SGML and author of The XML Handbook.

THIS BOOKS NEVER ENDS... ...it keeps looping round and round until somebody says "PLEASE STOP READING NOW " Who is going to give up first? The grown-up or the child because... ...It just goes On 'N' On... When you get to the back cover of the book you simply turn "This Book Never Ends..." over and start on the cover by following the line throughout the book. Keep doing this until one of you does not wish to continue. This most innovative of books pits an intriguing battle of wills of who want to stop reading first. The feedback from children has been "I love joining in with the On 'N' On part" "I really like that it goes round and round." "Not giving up and winning " "It's very funny " "I like Infi and Nity." "The pictures are great and join up through the book." "I liked everything about the book." This fun book gives children a chance to feel in control of a life that is otherwise decided for them. Most of the time a child doesn't choose what time they go to bed, when it is time to eat, what to eat or if they can go outside. You will love this book as much as everybody else who has interacted with it. THE KINDLE EDITION OF THIS BOOK IS FREE WHEN THE PAPERBACK EDITION IS PURCHASED ON AMAZON.

In Case, Mark Baker develops a unified theory of how the morphological case marking of noun phrases is determined by syntactic structure. Designed to work well for languages of all alignment types - accusative, ergative, tripartite, marked nominative, or marked absolutive - this theory has been developed and tested against unrelated languages of each type, and more than twenty non-Indo-European languages are considered in depth. While affirming that case can be assigned to noun phrases by function words under agreement, the theory also develops in detail a second mode of case assignment: so-called dependent case. Suitable for academic researchers and students, the book employs formal-generative concepts yet remains clear and accessible for a general linguistics readership.

'Brings to life a brilliant yet forgotten feat of arms of the World War Two air war. A terrific read.' Michael Veitch, author of 44 Days and Australia's Secret ArmyBruce Buckham was captain of one of the finest Lancaster crews in Bomber Command in World War II. The Australians were famous for their exploits in the air and infamous for their hijinks on the ground.Buckham's crew flew night after night against heavily-defended targets in Germany risking their lives at the ruthless determination of their commanders - including in the Battle of Berlin, regarded as the bloodiest campaign for Australians in the war.But their most dangerous mission was yet to come. The greatest battleship ever built, and the pride of Hitler's fleet lay in a remote fjord in Norway's far north. Time and again Tirpitz had evaded the hunters, continuing to threaten vital Arctic convoys. By late 1944, her destruction remained a top priority for Churchill. Buckham's crew was hand-picked for the final raids to sink Tirpitz due to their exceptional skill and bravery.In a gripping account, journalist Mark Baker tells the story of one of Australia's most highly decorated World War II pilots and his crew in full for the first time, drawing on extensive interviews with Buckham himself, and other primary sources.'The story of an extraordinary RAAF crew told in magnificent detail' from the foreword by Sir Angus Houston

Structured writing has never been more important or more confusing. It is easy to get lost in a sea of acronyms and buzz words: semantics, XML, metadata, DITA, structure, DocBook, hypertext, Markdown, topics, XSLT, reuse, LaTeX, silos, HTML, ad infinitum. Structured Writing cuts through the noise, explaining what structured writing is and how you can use different structures to achieve different purposes. It focuses on how you can partition and manage the complexity of content development and delivery to ensure effective rhetoric and efficient processes.Introduction: defines structured writing, the relationship between rhetoric and process, and the importance of partitioning complexity properly.Structured writing domains: introduces four domains in structured writing: media, document, subject, and management and shows how an understanding of those domains can help you build structures that support quality writing.Process, rhetoric, and structure: describes how structure supports both your processes and your rhetoric. it also delves into information architecture and the role of writers in creating content that meets your organization's needs.Algorithms: explores the principal structured writing algorithms, including single sourcing, reuse, linking, active content, generated content, and publishing.Structures: explores structures in depth, including blocks, wide structures, and composable structures. Also looks at metadata, terminology management, and conformance.Languages: a survey of languages currently used for structured writing, ranging from lightweight languages such as Markdown and reStructuredText to heavyweight languages such as DITA and DocBook. Then it looks at extending and constraining languages.Management: looks at content management systems and explores how to support collaboration, avoid duplication, and audit your content.Design: looks at how to identify complexity and partition it appropriately as you design a system, and it then looks at how to select the processes and tools required to support your organization's content needs.
