Par F. Paul Wilson. 2023
The New York Times–bestselling author of The Keep tells the real and fictional origins of the mysterious man who battles…
criminals and the supernatural. In 1984, Repairman Jack debuted in F. Paul Wilson&’s horror thriller The Tomb. Jack would go on to star in twenty-three novels, ten short stories, and a graphic novel. But how did the antithesis of James Bond and Jason Bourne get his start in the battle between good and evil? In this essay, Wilson lets his readers in on how his beloved hero came to be. Wilson begins his personal story after he scored a hit with The Keep, when he found his inspiration for his next book in a dream. He discusses selecting and researching a monster, as well as developing Jack, his supporting cast, and settling on a villain. He also shares how the first title in the series came to be—it wasn&’t always The Tomb.

Par Moreno Mitrović. 2023
In diesem Buch geht es um die faszinierende Fähigkeit der menschlichen Sprache, mit Hilfe winziger (mikrosemantischer) Morpheme als Hilfsmittel komplizierte…
logische (mathematische) Bedeutungen auszudrücken. Sprachen markieren Bedeutungen mit identischen Schlussfolgerungen, indem sie identische Partikel verwenden, und diese Partikel schleichen sich so in eine Vielzahl von Ausdrücken ein. Aufgrund ihrer Multitasking-Fähigkeit, scheinbar disparate Bedeutungen auszudrücken, werden sie als Superpartikel bezeichnet. Diese Partikel sind perfekte Fenster in die Verzahnung mehrerer grammatischer Module und die Art der Interaktion dieser Module im Laufe der Zeit. Fest verankert in dem Modul, in dem die grammatischen Knochen gebaut und zusammengesetzt werden (enge Morphosyntax), erhalten Superpartikel je nach der Struktur, in der sie vorkommen, unterschiedliche Interpretationen (im begrifflich-intentionalen Modul - Semantik). Darüber hinaus sind einige der Interpretationen, die diese Partikel auslösen, inferentiell und gehören nach der Standardrechnung in den Bereich der Pragmatik. Wie können so winzige Partikel, die selten länger als eine Silbe sind, so mächtige und übergreifende Wirkungen im intermodularen grammatischen Raum haben? Dies ist der platonische Hintergrund, vor dem dieses Buch steht.The Lincoln Lawyer: A Mysterious Profile (Mysterious Profiles)
Par Michael Connelly. 2008
The #1 New York Times–bestselling author tells the origin story of LA defense attorney Mickey Haller. In this concise,…
absorbing account, Michael Connelly reveals the work—and the strokes of luck—that contributed to his creation of the character Mickey Haller, the subject of multiple bestselling novels as well as the hit Netflix series. He reveals the lawyers, both fictional and real-life, who played a role in shaping the sharp-witted attorney who does his best work in the back seat—and the librarian who planted the seeds of his future literary career in the steamy, sticky Florida of his childhood. This is not only a portrait of Mickey Haller, but a fascinating look at the award-winning crime novelist who created him, along with Harry Bosch and other unforgettable characters. &“Haller is the kind of slick, cynical showman who can&’t resist making high drama out of every legal procedure. . . . There&’s always something deadly serious behind Connelly&’s entertaining courtroom high jinks.&” ―Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times &“If at first encounter Connelly seems primarily an exceptionally accomplished writer of crime novels, at closer examination he is also a mordant and knowing chronicler of the world in which crime takes place, i.e., our world.&” —Jonathan Yardley, The Washington PostWinston Churchill at the Telegraph
Par Dr Warren Dockter And Boris Johnson. 2015
This fascinating collection of reportage chronicles the Prime Minister’s life through the newspaper where he began his career.The Telegraph had…
a uniquely close connection with Winston Churchill at every stage of his life. Beginning with his early days as a war correspondent for the paper, the association continued as he himself became the news—reported on in its pages at every stage of his historic political career.Collected here, for the first time, is the best reportage on this complex man. Unencumbered by the legendary status he would later acquire, there is praise and blame in equal measure: finding space for both dramatic accounts of his wartime premiership and affectionate reports on the animals living at Chartwell, his country estate.The Telegraph was also a happy home for Churchill the journalist, and featured within are many pieces written in his unmistakable prose. Capturing the urgency of the time in which he lived, Churchill at the Telegraph is a celebration of an intimate relationship that lasted over sixty years and shows Winston Churchill in all his paradoxical glory.Art Journals & Creative Healing: Restoring the Spirit through Self-Expression

Par Emma Kaylee Graves. 2024
This book presents a study of the news coverage of extended reality technologies (virtual, augmented and mixed reality; or XR)…
and how this news corresponds with the marketing of XR products. Focusing on a group of recently emerging technological products, the book offers in-depth analysis of the news coverage of XR technologies and explores the overlap between news discourse and promotional discourse by comparing the way these products are framed in the news and their marketing materials. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, it discusses the topics covered in XR news, as well as the sources used and the specific framing techniques that appear in both XR news and marketing materials. In addition to these findings, it also provides a set of frame categories that can be used by other researchers analysing the media coverage of emerging technologies. Ultimately arguing that the news represents XR in such a way that treats readers as consumers instead of citizens, prioritising the interests of XR companies rather than news audiences, this book will be of interest to students and researchers in media and communications, discourse studies, journalism, PR and marketing and innovation studies, as well as XR practitioners.The Grim Reader: A Pharmacist's Guide to Putting Your Characters in Peril

Par Carlos Elordi. 2013
«¿Quiénes mandan de verdad en España?» es la pregunta a la que el reputado periodista Carlos Elordi pretende dar respuesta…
con claridad meridiana en este libro. Las elecciones celebradas cada cuatro años en España solo dan el pistoletazo de salida para que los poderes fácticos que de verdad rigen los designios del país se posicionen para dirigir el futuro de la nación. La banca, los grandes empresarios, la Iglesia católica, la Casa Real, la Unión Europea..., influyen en la toma de decisiones y cada uno de ellos ejerce directamente presión sobre la sociedad.Elordi analiza en este libro cómo se articulan internamente esos poderes, cómo ha evolucionado la capacidad de influencia de unos y otros sectores y cuáles la han ganado o la han perdido como consecuencia de la actual crisis económica. Un análisis que se completa con un repaso a la estructura del poder en algunas regiones y un capítulo específico se destina a los medios de comunicación. Un ensayo que arroja luz sobre este imbricado mosaico que es el poder en España.Funniest Illustrated Jokes for Kids!: For Ages 5-7

Par Martin Echeverria, Ruben Arnoldo Gonzalez. 2024
This volume presents an analytical and empirical overview of the array of issues that the Mexican media faces in the…
post-authoritarian age, which jointly explains how a partially accomplished democracy, its authoritarian inertias, and its unintended consequences hinder the democratic performance of the media. This is analyzed from three points of view: the stalemate Mexican media system and ineffective regulations, the conditions of risk and insecurity of the journalists on the field, and the limits of freedom of expression, political substance, and inclusiveness of media content. A binational effort, with research from US and Mexican authors, a wide analytic perspective is provided on the macro, meso, and micro levels, allowing for a deep conceptual richness and a comprehensive understanding of the Mexican case. With leading researchers in the field, the volume revolves around the problems of the media in post-authoritarian democracies. By answering the questions of how and why the Mexican media has not fully democratized, the works encompassed here can resonate with and are relevant to other post-authoritarian countries and academic disciplines.Game-Journalismus: Grundlagen – Themen – Spannungsfelder.

Par Laura Herzberg. 2024
OKAY erfreut sich ungebrochener Beliebtheit. In der Mündlichkeit wurde es bereits in den 1960er-Jahren erforscht. In der schriftlichen Online-Kommunikation begegnet…
uns OKAY in zahlreichen Kommunikationskontexten. Um aktiv an solchen Kontexten teilnehmen zu können, folgen Internetnutzer*innen den erforderlichen Praktiken der Netzkommunikation. Dieses Open Access Buch setzt an diesen Aspekten an: Neben der Herausstellung allgemeiner Verwendungsweisen von OKAY in digitalen Kontexten, galt es, die Forschungslücke zu schriftlichem OKAY aus interaktionsorientierter Perspektive zu schließen. Dafür wurden Artikeldiskussionsbeiträge der deutschen, englischen und französischen Wikipedia-Sprachversionen sprachkontrastiv analysiert. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass es Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen mündlichen und schriftlichen OKAYs sowie in Bezug auf sprachkontrastive OKAY-Gebrauchsweisen in den jeweiligen Wikipedia-Communities gibt. OKAY wird in der Schriftlichkeit, neben den Funktionsweisen, die es auch im Mündlichen aufweist, in teilweise aufwendige Einschub- und Erweiterungsmuster eingebunden, die so für OKAY in den mündlichen Daten nicht festgestellt werden konnten.Teaching Accelerated and Corequisite Composition
Par David Starkey. 2023
Teaching Accelerated and Corequisite Composition is the first book to compile on-the-ground advice and teaching strategies specifically curated for accelerated and…
corequisite writing courses. Trailblazers in the field from colleges across the United States—who developed a foundation for corequisites by facilitating equity and accessibility for marginalized students—speak to a range of topics and demographics, offering support for instructors and practical advice for improving student success. The book primarily explores accelerated composition through the lens of two-year colleges to answer a central question in the field: to what extent do educators need to alter two-year college curricular design? The contributors also delve into assessment, a crucial process for instructors and their students transitioning to accelerated learning; the key role that reading plays in the writing process; and noncognitive learning, an area of study that has been associated with accelerated learning since its inception. Together these thirteen chapters provide instructors with a strategic approach to teaching accelerated and corequisite composition. Teaching Accelerated and Corequisite Composition points toward a new way of approaching first-year composition: a method of instruction that fosters the growth and success of writers who were once considered underprepared for college writing and are now achieving unprecedented success.Precious Ramotswe: A Mysterious Profile (Mysterious Profiles)
