Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of colonization, many varieties of English now exist around the world. Originally published in 2005, Legacies of Colonial English brings together a team of internationally renowned scholars to discuss the role of British dialects in both the genesis and subsequent history of postcolonial Englishes. Considering the input of Scottish, English and Irish dialects, they closely examine a wide range of Englishes - including those in North and South America, South Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand - and explain why many of them still reflect non-standard British usage from the distant past. Complete with a checklist of dialect features, a detailed glossary and set of general references on the topic of postcolonial Englishes, this book will be an invaluable source to scholars and students of English language and linguistics, particularly those interested in sociolinguistics, historical linguistics and dialectology.

Download or read book A Race Too Far written by Chris Eakin and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-04-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the tragic round-the-world yacht race - now the subject of The Mercy, starring Colin Firth and Rachel Weisz In 1968, the Sunday Times organised the Golden Globe race–an incredible test of endurance never before attempted–a round the world yacht race that must be completed single-handed and non-stop. This remarkable challenge inspired those daring to enter–with or without sailing experience. A Race Too Far is the story of how the race unfolded, and how it became a tragedy for many involved. Of the nine sailors who started the race, four realised the madness of the undertaking and pulled out within weeks. The remaining five each have their own remarkable story. Chay Blyth, fresh from rowing the Atlantic with John Ridgway, had no sailing experience but managed to sail round the Cape of Good Hope before retiring. Nigel Tetley sank while in the lead with 1,100 nautical miles to go, surviving but dying in tragic circumstances two years later. Donald Crowhurst began showing signs of mental illness and tried to fake a round the world voyage. His boat was discovered adrift in an apparent suicide, but his body was never found. Bernard Moitessier abandoned the race and carried on to Tahiti, where he settled and fathered a child despite having a wife and family in Paris. Robin Knox-Johnston was the only one to complete the race. Chris Eakin recreates the drama of the epic race, talking to all those touched by the Golden Globe: the survivors, the widows and the children of those who died. It is a book that both evokes the primary wonder of the adventure itself and reflects on what it has come to mean to both those involved and the rest of us in the forty years since.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's a traitor in the ranks of the Queen's Royal Artillery stationed in Kilkenny Ireland in the 1880's. It is Henry, the ten-year-old son of an officer who has been handing military secrets to the Irish. Cast out by his family, hunted by the military, and in constant danger, he is spirited away by his Irish friends to the lead mines in Glendalough, to work as a pit boy. The warmth and generosity of the Irish, their music and soft humour sustain Henry as he grows to maturity. Changing his name and immigrating to Australia as a young man, he finds his fortune through his connections to his employer in the goldmines and luxury hotels. He never sees his family again. Little does Henry know that his brother John has also relocated to Australia after living through the dangers of India's fight for independence. No one, not even their wives, know of their secret. Will the brothers ever meet again? What price will Henry pay for his rebellion? Margaret Gambold's bold saga is a riveting read that sweeps the reader to the 19th century-through revolutions, heartbreak and the height of Australia's Gold Wealth as two countries struggle to wrest free of British rule. Margaret Gambold is a writer and graphic/textile artist. She has conducted workshops in Australia and England for community groups, schools and aboriginal communities, and has organized exhibitions of their art. Her textile works have been displayed internationally. She lives with her family near Melbourne, Australia. Publisher's website: www.eloquentbooks.com/HenrysRebellion.html

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Browne explores through her intriguing story set in late 1800s how English society was constructed under the Darwinian theory of 'survival of the fittest' which placed men higher on the evolutionary ladder. 'Man's power is active, progressive, defensive. He is eminently the doer, the creator, the discoverer, the defender. His intellect is for speculation, and invention; his energy for adventure, for war, and for conquest... The woman's power is for rule, not for battle - and her intellect is not for invention or creation, but for sweet ordering, arrangement, and decision... She must be enduringly, incorruptibly good; instinctively, infallibly wise-wise, not for self-development, but for self-renunciation: Wise, not that she may set herself above her husband, but that she many never fail from his side.' (Direct quote - John Ruskin, Sesame and Lilies, 1865, part II) But is she permitted to rule? Can women over turn the power struggle when they leave England and settle in the Australian colonies? Follow the fascinating lives of two families as they face challenges in their efforts to love, honour and obey their husbands at a time when women began the fight for equality. You might be reminded of your own Achilles heel in the process.

Download or read book Quest For Speed - Simple Guides written by Peter Gosling and published by Kuperard. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man's quest for speed is driven by two ambitions. One is the competitive urge to excel — to go as fast as possible by any available means, and preferably to go faster than anybody else. The other, more practical, aim is to make travel and transport as swift and efficient as possible. The two are closely linked, since by pushing technology to the limit to achieve the first, we improve performance in the second, with results that continue to shrink the world.In this book Peter Gosling tells the fascinating story of the key scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs in our drive to conquer distance — from our earliest crude efforts using animal power and the wheel, to harnessing the wind and the waves, on through the watershed of the Industrial Revolution, rail and steam, the invention of the internal combustion engine, through powered flight to rocketry, and on to space travel. We look at developments on land, sea, and air, and the novel “green” solutions that scientists are exploring in order to meet today's environmental challenges. Along the way we meet some of the remarkable men and women behind these breakthroughs, whose vision and determination have helped to shape the modern world. Written in an engaging, non-technical style, The Quest for Speed captures both the thrill of the race and the adventure of science, and points to the social and cultural changes ahead as technology accelerates the pace of life and transforms the human landscape.SIMPLE GUIDES: SCIENCESimple Guides: Science are user-friendly introductions to the great scientific discoveries of the world.
