There are some laws that no one can defy- like the law of gravity. So what happens when you can? Brought up by two scientists to believe that anything is possible, Ben, Alicia, Sam, and Derek are able to manipulate the air and space around them in ways that defy the laws of physics. For the most part, the teenagers put their abilities aside and live normal lives. But when assassins infiltrate their high school lives, they will realize that their manipulation marks them as players in a very dangerous game, a game of international terrorist organizations, high-stake deception, and deadly mind control. After their high school lives are ripped away, the teenagers head to New York City to both escape the KP terrorists coming after them and to try and infiltrate their organization. But what they'll soon discover is that their guardians haven't quite told them everything: in the world of quantem manipulation, nothing is what it seems: allies and enemies are indistinguishable, sanity can be broken in moments, and manipulation itself will prove to be self-destructive above all else.

The Kimberley Arafuran language Worrorra was spoken traditionally on the remote coastline and precipitously beautiful hinterland between the Walcott Inlet and the Prince Regent River. The language described here is that attested by its last full speakers, Patsy Lulpunda, Amy Peters and Daisy Utemorrah. Patsy Lulpunda was a child when Europeans first entered her country in 1912, and Amy Peters and Daisy Utemorrah both grew up on the Kunmunya mission. This comprehensive and detailed grammar provides as well an historical and cultural context for a society now drastically altered. In the 1950s Worrorra people left their traditional land and from the 1970s the number of people speaking Worrorra as their first language declined dramatically. Worrorra is a highly polysynthetic language, characterised by overarching concord and a high degree of morphological fusion. Verbal semantics involve a voicing opposition and an extensive system of evidentiality-marking. Worrorra has elaborate systems of pragmatic reference, a derivational morphology that projects agreement-class concord across most lexical categories and complex predicates that incorporate one verb within another. Nouns are distributed among five genders, the intensional properties of which define dynamic oppositions between men and women on the one hand, and earth and sky on the other. This volume will be of interest to morphologists, syntacticians, semanticists, anthropologists, typologists, and readers interested in Australian language and culture generally.
