English Pronunciation in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
This work provides a detailed account of word level pronunciation in England and Scotland between 1700 and 1900. The materials are presented in three chronological periods: 1700-1750, 1750-1800 and the nineteenth century, allowing readers to see the main characteristics of the pronunciation in each period, and also to compare developments from one period to another, thus identifying ongoing changes to the phonology.
Modern Japanese Cuisine: Food, Power and National Identity
Over the past two decades, the popularity of Japanese food in the West has increased immeasurably—a major contribution to the evolution of Western eating habits. But Japanese cuisine itself has changed significantly since pre-modern times, and the food we eat at trendy Japanese restaurants, from tempura to sashimi, is vastly different from earlier Japanese fare. Modern Japanese Cuisine examines the origins of Japanese food from the late nineteenth century to unabashedly adulterated American favorites like today’s California roll.

The Possessed is an emphatic howl of protest against the fervor of revolution and terrorism that gripped Russia toward the end of the nineteenth century. Based on a true event.
