Australia is a country with a wide diversity of languages in a world in which there are more multilinguals than monolinguals. This book explores the paradox of a nation rich in language resources, yet characterised by monolingual thinking. With insight and passion, Michael Clyne illustrates the ways in which our language resources can be consolidated and further developed for universal benefit.
Sequel to "The Godfather", this describes the ending of Michael
Corleone's exile in Sicily, his search for Salvatore Giuliano and his
troubles, as he confronts brutal and unfamiliar treacheries in the
deceitful society within which he moves.
After Mario Puzo wrote
his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated
but never equaled. Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a
cornerstone of his work--a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of
bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . .
The year is 1950.
Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The
Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named
Salvatore Guiliano back with him to America. But Guiliano is a man
entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano
is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption--and defied the
Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient
ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of
Salvatore Guiliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano.

When you step into a time machine, fax yourself through a "quantum foam wormhole," and step out in feudal France circa 1357, be very, very afraid. If you aren't strapped back in precisely 37 hours after your visit begins, you'll miss the quantum bus back to 1999 and be stranded in a civil war, caught between crafty abbots, mad lords, and peasant bandits all eager to cut your throat. You'll also have to dodge catapults that hurl sizzling pitch over castle battlements. On the social front, you should avoid provoking "the butcher of Crecy" or Sir Oliver may lop your head off with a swoosh of his broadsword or cage and immerse you in "Milady's Bath," a brackish dungeon pit into which live rats are tossed now and then for prisoners to eat. ...
