Book Description
All four books in 'Galactic Adventures', a series of science fiction novels by Scott Michael Decker, now in one volume! Bawdy Double: The Premier's adult daughter begins behaving with an utter absence of wherewithal and insight. Meanwhile, an Admiral's dreamboat son engages in five years of profligate behavior after his sterling, top-of-his-class Academy graduation. A doctor called in to examine both scions determines they're mutaclones. Her wife kidnapped and her clinic bombed, the doctor flees across the galaxy - straight into the stronghold of her antagonists. The Gael Gates: Held together for millennia by the ancient Gael Gates, The Federation is on the verge of collapse. After three people disappear into the mysterious portals, Culann Penrose is called in to investigate. Discovering that the ancient system is crumbling, he orders they be shut down. The Druids, still seething at his denunciation of Magic twenty years ago, vehemently oppose Penrose’s inquiry. But then Culann discovers that the weakening technology has inflamed a new Elemental - one which is out to destroy him. Can Culann unravel the enigmatic mystery of the Gates in time for Science to save him, or will his Magic save the Science of the Gael Gates? Legends of Lemuria: After the collapse of an ancient empire, four people each acquire a crystal with extraordinary properties. Casper, Nadika, Jayani and Sharif accidentally unleash the powers of their crystals in search for Lemuria itself, and release the forces that caused the collapse of civilization. Their minds and futures forever intertwined, the four begin a journey among the stars to find clues about the mysterious empire and discover its secrets. By doing so, they set forth a chain of events that will shape the future of the whole galaxy. War Child: After a near-term princess is betrayed in the battle to conquer the galactic core, her unborn daughter Serena is taken from her body, raised in a foreign empire, and trained to be a lethal weapon. Twenty years later, attempts are made on Serena's life, but she will defy anyone who would use her toward their own ends. Chased across the galaxy, she begins a deadly mission against her oppressors. But can she discover who she really is?

Barbarians at the Gate
Author: Patricia Donaher
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527551148
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The study of language attitudes is the investigation of beliefs expressed about the nature of language and its diverse usages, how these attitudes came to exist and persist, and how these attitudes shape social action and policy. Language attitude studies have illuminated our understanding of racial issues, social and economic stratification, cultural stereotypes, educational issues, folk linguistics, and, more recently, popular culture. This volume is an examination of four intersections in language attitudes research: Authority, Affiliation, Authenticity, and Accommodation. In each section, the contributors introduce new dimensions to the study of language attitudes while providing examples of the ways in which the study of language attitudes can continue to inform and shape our understanding of language diversity.

Avant-Garde Nationalism at the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928-1940
Author: Ruud van den Beuken
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 0815654715
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
In 1928, Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir founded the Dublin Gate Theatre, which quickly became renowned for producing stylistically and dramaturgically innovative plays in a uniquely avant-garde setting. While the Gate’s lasting importance to the history of Irish theater is generally attributed to its introduction of experimental foreign drama to Ireland, Van den Beuken shines a light on the Gate’s productions of several new Irish playwrights, such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, David Sears, Robert Collis, and Edward and Christine Longford. Having grown up during an era of political turmoil and bloodshed that led to the creation of an independent yet in many ways bitterly divided Ireland, these dramatists chose to align themselves with an avant-garde theater that explicitly sought to establish Dublin as a modern European capital. In examining an extensive corpus of archival resources, Van den Beuken reveals how the Gate Theatre became a site of avant-garde nationalism during Ireland’s tumultuous first post-independence decades.
