Although major cognitively based studies of SPACE and TIME in language have appeared in terms of “Frames of Reference”, these do not extend to a wide selection of the world’s languages, nor do they combine SPACE and TIME in the overarching concept of WORLD, which has its own corresponding frames of reference. The aim of relating and unifying these concepts and their expression across languages constitutes the unique thrust of the present book, which will represent a significant extension of earlier approaches. Among its main conclusions will be that the complete separation of terms for SPACE and TIME is a relatively recent cultural phenomenon, rather than just a metaphorical extension of the latter from the former. The book will be of interest to all students and practitioners of Linguistics, in particular Cognitive Linguistics and Linguistic typology, but also to a more general readership interested in the historical evolution of concepts of SPACE and TIME.

The Languages and Linguistics of the New Guinea Area: A Comprehensive Guide is part of the multi-volume reference work on the languages and linguistics of all major regions of the world. The island of New Guinea and its offshore islands is arguably the most diverse and least documented linguistic hotspot in the world - home to over 1300 languages, almost one fifth of all living languages, in more than 40 separate families, along with numerous isolates. Traditionally one of the least understood linguistic regions, ongoing research allows for the first time a comprehensive guide. Given the vastness of the region and limited previous overviews, this volume focuses on an account of the families and major languages of each area within the region, including brief grammatical descriptions of many of the languages. The volume also includes a typological overview of Papuan languages, and a chapter on Austronesian-Papuan contact. It will make accessible current knowledge on this complex region, and will be the standard reference on the region. It is aimed at typologists, endangered language specialists, graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and all those interested in linguistic diversity and understanding this least known linguistic region.

Major Marcus Reno's actions at the Battle of Little Big Horn have been both criticized and lauded, often without in-depth analysis. This book takes a fresh look the battle and events leading up to it, offering answers to unanswered questions. The author examines the meanings of "orders" given in Custer's command and how they were treated, the tactics and fighting in the valley, Reno's alcoholism, and his last stand on the hilltop named for him.

FAR BELOW THE SURFACE. FAR FROM THE FATHERLAND. AND TOO CLOSE TO THE ENEMY FOR COMFORT...
MILITARY VETERAN AND FORMER COMMERCIAL DIVER JOHN MANNOCK DELIVERS A POWERFUL AND COMPELLING NOVEL—ABOUT A GERMAN SUBMARINE CREW CAUGHT ON AMERICAN GROUND....
At the height of World War II, a Nazi U-boat preys upon Allied shipping along the southeast coast of the U.S. But its days are numbered.

Severely damaged and with supplies running low, the U-boat limps northward toward the coastal bayous of Louisiana—where the crew's only chance of survival rests in the hands of an isolated clan of wary Cajun trappers whose dangerous leader recognizes no government and no war.
There, in the heart of the enemy homeland, Nazi gold can buy temporary sanctuary. But gold can also buy betrayal....
