August Schleicher (1821 - 1868), Sprachwissenschaftler und Begründer der Stammbaumtheorie in der vergleichenden Sprachforschung, schreibt im Vorwort: "Ein Buch, welches mit Rücksicht auf die Bedürfnisse der Sprachwissenschaft beflissener Nichtslawen den Bau des altertümlichsten Dialektes der slawischen Sprache darstellt, schien mir ebenso sehr Bedürfnis, als für den Slawen eine sprachwissenschaftliche, vergleichende Bearbeitung des Kirchenslawischen, der Sprache, welche für die richtige Erfassung ihrer lebenden Schwesterdialekte von ähnlicher Wichtigkeit ist, wie etwa das Gothische für die germanischen Sprachen, das Sanskrit für die übrigen Zweige des indogermanischen Stammes." Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem Jahr 1852.

FOLK MED tilknytning til landsbyen Vrensted eller med interesse for at søge mere viden om byens fortid har nærmest fået en guldmine af minder at grave dybere ned i - et mammut sag med lokalhistorie på 9 bøger fyldt med flere hundrede artikler. Historierne er fordelt på godt 5000 sider.De 9 bind fortæller ikke den komplette historie om Vrensted sogns udvikling. Langtfra. Men værket er en rigtig god begyndelse for slægtninge, slægtsforskere og andre, som vil søge inspiration til at grave mere i sognets fortid.Det er ret enestående, at en landsby får samlet så meget let tilgængeligt lokalhistorisk stof i et værk, og at mange på forhånd betalte for at få tilsendt et sæt. Det første oplag af Vrensted Historier er distribueret ud, og bindene er blevet så godt modtaget, at 2. oplag allerede er sendt til trykning, da en større gruppe medlemmer fortrød, at de ikke meldte sig som købere af sættet i første ombæring.

TONY ANTHONY knew no fear. Three-times World Kung Fu Champion, he was self-assured, powerful and at the pinnacle of his art. An extraordinary career awaited him. Working in the higher echelons of close protection security, he travelled the globe, guarding some of the world's wealthiest, most powerful, and influential people.This fast paced, compelling and, at times, chilling account is Tony's deeply moving true story. More extraordinary than fantasy, more remarkable than fiction, this blockbusting read almost defies belief. With fascinating insight into China's martial arts, and the knife-edge adrenaline highs of the bodyguard lifestyle, it documents the personal tragedy that turned a 'disciple of enlightenment' into a bloodthirsty, violent man.From the depths of hell in Cyprus's notorious Nicosia Central Prison, all might have been lost, but for the visits of a stranger.Translated into 40 languages and more than 2 million copies sold worldwide.

The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality. To discuss your book idea or submit a proposal, please contact Birgit Sievert.

'This book brings history alive' BERNADINE EVARISTOWITH A BRAND NEW FOREWORD FROM ZADIE SMITH'Black England is a book that will be relevant for ever' BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH----------------The idea that Britain became a mixed-race country after 1945 is a common mistake. Georgian England had a large and distinctive Black community. Whether prosperous citizens or newly freed slaves, they all ran the risk of kidnap and sale to plantations. Black England tells their dramatic, often moving stories.In the eighteenth century, Black people could be found in clubs and pubs, there were special churches, Black-only balls and organisations for helping Black people who were out of work or in trouble. Many were famous and respected: most notably Francis Barber, Doctor Johnson's beloved manservant; Ignatius Sancho, a correspondent of Laurence Sterne; Francis Williams, a Cambridge scholar, and Olaudah Equiano whose Interesting Narrative went into multiple editions. But far more were ill-paid and ill-treated servants or beggars, despite having served Britain in war and on the seas. For alongside the free world there was slavery, from which many of these Black Britons had escaped.The triumphs and tortures of Black England, the Ambivalent relations between the races, sometimes tragic, sometimes heart-warming, are brought to life in this wonderfully readable history. Black England explores a fascinating chapter of our shared past, a chapter that has been ignored too long.

The volume is aimed at preserving invaluable knowledge about Ainu, a language-isolate previously spoken in Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and Kurils, which is now on the verge of extinction. Ainu was not a written language, but it possesses a huge documented stock of oral literature, yet is significantly under-described in terms of grammar. It is the only non-Japonic language of Japan and is typologically different not only from Japanese but also from other Northeast Asian languages. Revolving around but not confined to its head-marking and polysynthetic character, Ainu manifests many typologically interesting phenomena, related in particular to the combinability of various voice markers and noun incorporation. Other interesting features of Ainu include vowel co-occurrence restrictions, a mixed system of expressing grammatical relations, which includes the elements of a rare tripartite alignment, nominal classification distinguishing common and locative nouns, elaborate possessive classes, verbal number, a rich four-term evidential system, and undergrammaticalized aspect, which are all explained in the volume. This handbook, the result of unprecedented cooperation of the leading experts of Ainu, will definitely help to increase the clarity of our understanding of Ainu and in a long-term perspective may provide answers to problems of human prehistory as well as open the field of Ainu studies to the world and attract many new students.

I junglen ved Congos kyst i 1904 går dagene meget langsomt. Livet er kedeligt, åndeligt afstumpende og farligt, og Belgiens kong Leopold II’s militære udsendinge fordriver tiden med at mishandle slaverne, som tapper gummi og fælder mahognitræer, der skal sejles til Europa.I Belle Époqe-tidens Belgien leves det søde liv, mens udbytningen af kolonierne når nye, grumme højder. Syv huse i Frankrig beskriver en af de mørkeste perioder i europæisk kolonihistorie, fortalt med en satirisk selvfølgelighed, der blot understreger grusomhedernes lethed. Med andre ord: en meget sort komedie.Bernardo Atxaga er en af det baskiske sprogs største nulevende forfattere med stor succes både hjemme og ude. På dansk er tidligere udkommet succesromanerne Obabakoak og Harmonikaspillerens søn."Syv huse i Frankrig er en fornøjelig og skræmmende roman af en af Europas bedste romanforfattere. (...) Atxaga er stadig mesteren af kompleks historiefortælling fortalt med bedragerisk enkelhed ..." - The independent
