When Max broke his back he thought that his life was as good as over, but when he met Earl he realised that perhaps that wasn't so. Earl's head injury might have left him with trouble in working out the details of exactly what was happening, but Max was after his muscle, not his brains. Meanwhile in downtown Central City trouble is brewing. The turf war between the Jacksons and the Guzmans is hotting up and when Max and Earl stumble into the middle of it all Max sees an opportunity for revenge, but Max's getting even might just be the spark that could cause the whole place to explode.

The publication of Possession (1990) brought world-wide renown for A. S. Byatt and prompted a reappraisal of her work. Her ideas on fiction writing, and on religion, philosophy, and the fairy tale, have stimulated discussion among critics and readers alike. In this first book-length study of her work, Richard Todd considers the entire range of Byatt's writing including the most recent novel, Babel Tower (1996). He explores the paradox whereby her intense sense of privacy co-exists with an unflinching honesty, and he examines Byatt's fictional treatment of themes such as families, biography, Darwinism, 'real accident', and the fantastic.

This publication presents a selection of the papers and posters thatwere presented at the SJUSK 2013 conference, held at Copenhagen Business School in March 2013 (www.cphspeech2013.dk). It describes spoken language phenomena from many different languages, including Modern Irish, Russian, Hungarian, Latin American Spanish, European Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Dutch, and British English. It is our hope that the papers may contribute to the reader's understanding of the challenging diversity of speech in action.
