When the mother of MacCrimmon's infant daughter is drowned, it is rumored she was killed by members of her late husband's cartel looking for his stash of gold. At first MacCrimmon is more concerned with his daughter, who has gone missing, taken by her nurse. But when his good friend Father Gus is murdered while investigating property they jointly own outside of the dusty little desert town of Mecca, he is certain Gus had stumbled on the gold. When he sneaks onto the property at night he finds the current occupants may not have found the gold themselves, but they are willing to kill anyone who comes looking for it, including him.

Tumble combines a lively and accessible account of the Norman Invasion with a good story. There is adventure here, history and detail which will sharpen the interest of those already familiar with the Battle of Hastings and offer a useful introduction for readers new to the topic.A chance encounter enables young Ash to escape from the wild woodland and to join a group of entertainers led by the mysterious Gryp. Ash travels into a world of danger and adventure. He meets Earl Harold Godwinson in Bosham and Duke William in Rouen. Serving one of the Duke's knights at the Battle of Hastings, Ash gives the Norman view of the 1066 Conquest including the background to the conflict, the preparations for the invasion, the Great Battle itself and its difficult aftermath.Central to Ash's story is an account of the terrible malfosse incident during which, following Duke William's victory, scores of Norman knights were slaughtered.Additional notes and a glossary make Tumble a particularly useful introductory text for young historians.Tumble is a companion to The Fighting Man, A 1066 Adventure also by Thomas Croft. Some of the characters and scenes deliberately echo each other but the stories and historical reach are very different.

San Francisco is shocked when the incinerated body of John "HammerJack" Marteau, the linebacker for the Fortyniners, is found in his burned out SUV at the bottom of a ravine. Andrew MacCrimmon has other problems-he is recovering from a four month bout of morbid depression following a near-fatal gunshot wound, and his marriage is disintegrating-but he is drawn into the case when a chance encounter with Marteau's dental tech convinces him the body is not Marteau's, that this is a life insurance scam. If so, whose body is it? And who's involved? In the end, the conspirators strongly resent his meddling.

Bringing together the results of sixty years of research in typology and universals, this textbook presents a comprehensive survey of Morphosyntax - the combined study of syntax and morphology. Languages employ extremely diverse morphosyntactic strategies for expressing functions, and Croft provides a comprehensive functional framework to account for the full range of these constructions in the world's languages. The book explains analytical concepts that serve as a basis for cross-linguistic comparison, and provides a rich source of descriptive data that can be analysed within a range of theories. The functional framework is useful to linguists documenting endangered languages, and those writing reference grammars and other descriptive materials. Each technical term is comprehensively explained, and cross-referenced to related terms, at the end of each chapter and in an online glossary. This is an essential resource on Morphosyntax for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and linguistic fieldworkers.

Urban Culture in Pre-War Japan
Politically the 1910s and 1920s were dark days for Japan: economic instability, frequent political assassinations, and increasing violent military interventions at home and overseas affected many. This book explores the literature of the period, showing how it contributed to this overall mood. It focuses on the Tatsukawa Library, an unusual collection of military chronicles based on traditions of popular storytelling found in the yose — a network of small theatrical venues that provided the masses living and working in Japan’s major cities with affordable entertainment. Capitalising on local advances in Western-style printing, the series facilitated a ‘new wave’ of literature that appealed especially to young, marginalised, economically-insecure urban youths. This book discusses how the narrative content of the Tatsukawa Library, which focuses on historical samurai struggling valiantly against adverse circumstances, helped inspire a generation with admiration for violence. This work also examines how this outlook fitted with the Japanese state’s reintroduction of imperial propaganda.
