A Grammar of Upper Tanana, Volume 1 provides a linguistically accurate written record of the endangered Upper Tanana language. Serving as a descriptive grammar of Upper Tanana, the book meticulously details a language that is currently fluently spoken by approximately fifty people in limited parts of Alaska’s eastern interior and Canada’s Yukon Territory. As part of the Dene (Athabascan) language group, Upper Tanana embodies elements of both the Alaskan and Canadian subgroups of Northern Dene. This is the first comprehensive grammatical description of any of the Alaskan Dene languages. With the goal of preserving a language no longer consistently taught to younger generations, Olga Lovick’s foundational study is framed within the traditional form of linguistic theory that allows linguists and nonspecialists alike to study a vulnerable language that exists outside the dominant Indo-European mainstream. This text provides a substantive bulwark to protect a language acutely threatened by near-term extinction. In its expansive detailing of the Upper Tanana language, this volume is methodologically oriented toward structural linguistics through approaches focusing on phonology, lexical classes, and morphology. With attention to both detail and thoroughness, Lovick’s comparative approach provides solid grounding for the future survival of the Upper Tanana language.

A Grammar of Upper Tanana, Volume 2 is part of a comprehensive two-volume text that linguistically renders a written record of the endangered Upper Tanana language. Serving as a descriptive grammar of the Upper Tanana language, volume 2 meticulously details a language that is currently spoken, with fluency, by approximately fifty people in limited parts of Alaska’s eastern interior and Canada’s Yukon Territory. As part of the Dene (Athabascan) language group, Upper Tanana embodies elements of both the Alaskan and Canadian subgroups of Northern Dene. This is the first comprehensive grammatical description of any of the Alaskan Dene languages. The grammar is written in the framework of basic linguistic theory in order to make it accessible to a wide variety of readers, including specialists in Dene languages, linguists interested in the structure of non-Indo-European languages, and teachers and learners of Upper Tanana and related languages.

This book will bless you Challenge you and convince you that we serve a great God who still answers prayers Dare to believe Him From Genesis to Revelation, God's Word literally screams at us to remember, remember, and remember. When I would tell about experiences we had in Africa, people would say "please tell us more." So God began to deal with me. He told me to write it down. In fact, He said "write a book." So I trust this book will stir your heart. If you are a Christian, I hope it will cause you to remember the deliverance and miracles God did for you. If you are not a Christian, I trust you will accept Jesus as Lord of your life. Just say "Jesus, come into my heart. Forgive me of my sins. I believe you died for me. I accept you as my Lord and Savior." He will come into your heart and make you His child. Then begin to trust Him. He'll fight your battles and you will be surprised at the wonderful things he has in store for you. "For He is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrew 13:8). Moses said to the people to remember the day in which you came out of Egypt-out of the house of bondage-for by the strength of God's hand, the Lord brought you out. Guard these memories. Keep them fresh in your hearts. You are to remember what God did for you in the past. Do you have a problem in your home, in your work, or in your family? The only way to face a giant is to do what David did: Remember the lion and the bear. David could only face Goliath without fear by remembering God's faithfulness to him when he killed the lion and the bear. I kept my father's sheep, and there came a lion and a bear who stole a lamb out of the flock. I slew both the lion and the bear and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them (1 Sam. 17:34-36). I am sure this is what David testified to Saul. David knew the danger he was facing, but he remembered his past and he looked Goliath in the face and said, "The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion and the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine" (1 Sam. 17:37). You might say that was luck. No, I would say it was God guiding that stone. I would say it was a miracle. I can see Goliath standing with all his armor on, but God knew exactly where that stone would land. Hallelujah. So keep telling your deliverance and miracles to your children. It will build your faith every time you tell it, and it will build their faith. Why do you think there is not much faith in the world today? Because we have failed to remember the deliverances and miracles God has brought us through. Remember-don't let your generation forget. To God be the Glory

Imprimatur. PREFACE In the ascetical writings of the holy Bishop and Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus de Ligouri, there is a characteristic charm and an irresistible attraction. Whoever reads them with the proper dispositions will discover in them an indefinable something that appeals to the heart and stirs it to its very depths. We imagine we see the loving personality of the holy Bishop before us, and hear the words of eternal life from his very lips. According to a beautiful legend, the visitor at the shrine of St. John at Ephesus can hear the pulsations of the Saint's heart enclosed in the tomb. The heart of Alphonsus still throbs in his ascetical writings, where the whole being of the Saint seems enshrined. Little wonder therefore that the reverence and love entertained towards him in life should have passed to his edifying works, the reflex of his very self. There are few ascetical writers more widely known and more sincerely loved than St. Alphonsus. The present volume is made up of choice selections from the various ascetical writings of the Saint. The order of virtues considered is that followed by the spiritual sons of St. Alphonsus in the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. For each month of the year is assigned a particular virtue to which they are to devote their especial attention. This is a practice highly recommended by the masters of the spiritual life, and is fraught with the happiest results. It is hoped that the faithful will derive spiritual profit and pleasure from this course in "The School of Christian Perfection." C. J. W. ST.

Tombs of the Great Leaders traces the development of the political tomb since the Bronze Age tumuli, and looks in depth at those built in the twentieth and twenty-first century. Each presentation of a site clearly explains the history and context of the leader, their death, the creation of the mausoleum and an eyewitness account from the author of the tomb as it is today. Gwendolyn Leick investigates the memorial sites housing Communist leaders from Lenin in Moscow to Mao Zedong in Beijing, to Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi, and Kim Il-Sung in North Korea. It also looks at the attempts by Fascist rulers Franco and Mussolini to immortalize their memories. It explores the grand national monuments for Founding Fathers in new nation states, from Ataturk in Turkey, to Ziaur Rahman in Dhaka, Mohammed Ali Jinnah in Karach, to Sun Yat-sen in Purple Mountain, Nanjing, and many others across Africa, in the Middle East and elsewhere. Leick shows how these mausoleums and tombs have become sites of pilgrimage, and describes the actual experience of visiting the sites, the responses they elicit and the context in which they are viewed today. Combining history, architecture and travel writing this global perspective is a fascinating and revealing study of the self-perpetuation of politicians and leaders, despots and dictators alike throughout history.

This book analyses articles that appeared in popular periodicals from the 1920s to the present, each revealing the panic that parents and adults have expressed about media including radio, television, video games and the Internet for the last century. Karen Leick argues that parents have continuously shown an intense anxiety about new media, while expressing a romanticized nostalgia for their own youth. Recurring tropes describe concerns about each "addictive" new media: children do not play outside anymore, lack imagination, and may imitate violent or other inappropriate content that they encounter.
