This book is about a spring and summer in 1952 in a small neighborhood in the town of Espanola, Florida. During that spring and summer, that small neighborhood was visited by two demons, Seesaw and Bansanti. Those two demons held that neighborhood in fear for the entire spring and summer of 1952. All the people who had encounters with those two demons are dead now, and there is no way to prove those demons ever existed. Some people who still live in that neighborhood say the demons never existed; others say the demons did exist. Rumors are still told in that neighborhood about those two demons. Some say one day, Basanti the demon will return to that neighborhood for revenge.

Book Description
The Bird's Head Peninsula of Irian Jaya has long been an area neglected by New Guinea Studies. Only in the late seventies, interest began to focus more intensively on this scientifically important border area between Austronesian and Papuan languages and cultures. In the early nineties, this led to the creation in The Netherlands of the Irian Jaya Studies programme ISIR, which organizes and coordinates multi-disciplinary research on the Bird's Head Peninsula. Within this framework, study of the peninsula has reached a peak, with research being conducted in the area by scientists from different disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, (ethno)botany, demography, development administration, geology and linguistics. The diverse perspectives of these disciplines are subject to constant internal debate. Through ISIR and other research initiatives, there is a growing body of data on and insights into the various disciplines concerned with this fascinating area, with each discipline developing its own specific perspectives on the Bird's Head. These perspectives were presented during the First International Conference Perspectives on the Bird's Head of Irian Jaya, Indonesia, organized by ISIR in cooperation with the Indonesian Institute of Sciences LIPI (Jakarta) and the International Institute for Asian Studies ILAS (Leiden) and held at Leiden University, 13-17 October 1997. Researchers were informed on current perspectives in many disciplines to facilitate integration of findings into wider, interdisciplinary frameworks and to stimulate international debate within and between disciplines. As a result of the Conference, the forty-two contributions in these Proceedings present a wealth of recent developments from various disciplines in New Guinea Studies.

Book Description
This volume presents 22 tales from the Trobriand Islands told by children (boys between the age of 5 and 9 years) and adults. The monograph is motivated not only by the anthropological linguistic aim to present a broad and quite unique collection of tales with the thematic approach to illustrate which topics and themes constitute the content of the stories, but also by the psycholinguistic and textlinguistic questions of how children acquire linearization and other narrative strategies, how they develop them and how they use them to structure these texts in an adult-like way. The tales are presented in morpheme-interlinear transcriptions with first textlinguistic analyses and cultural background information necessary to fully understand them. A summarizing comparative analysis of the texts from a psycholinguistic, anthropological linguistic and philological point of view discusses the underlying schemata of the stories, the means narrators use to structure them, their structural complexity and their cultural specificity.

Book Description
Have you ever wondered how interesting it would be if you were able to go back and live your life all over again? The opportunity to correct all the regrets you have from the life you've lived? Hilltop Drive is the life story of Joe Jachens who, after growing up in what he describes as a perfect childhood, had some very unexpected and serious events occur in his life. It is a story of Jesus walking beside Joe during his life and carrying him during this period when he needed him the most. While continuously referring back to his happy childhood years on Hilltop Drive, Joe shares the pain of his parents' divorce, the story of being a victim of sexual abuse by a friend's brother, turning to illegal drugs, and his diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Joe invites the reader into the intimate details of his life events, what he has learned from them and how they have shaped him into the man he is today. Hilltop Drive will inspire the reader and allow the opportunity for one to reflect on their own life's path. Take a visit to Hilltop Drive where childhood is an age of innocence, where imaginations are wild, life dreams are still attainable, and the most important part of a child's life is simply going outside and playing with their neighborhood friends.
