New Approaches to European History is an important textbook series, which provides concise but authoritative surveys of
major themes and problems in European history since the Renaissance. Written at a level and length accessible to advanced
school students and undergraduates, each book in the series addresses topics or themes that students of European history
encounter daily: the series embraces both some of the more traditional subjects of study, and those cultural and social issues
to which increasing numbers of school and college courses are devoted. A particular effort is made to consider the wider international
implications of the subject under scrutiny. To aid the student reader, scholarly apparatus and annotation is light, but each work has full supplementary bibliographies and notes for further reading: where appropriate, chronologies, maps, diagrams, and other illustrative material are also provided.
This monumental reference resource offers a comprehensive survey of
the field of syntax as it has been studied over the last forty years or
so. Made up of 77 extensive case studies written by 80 of the world's
leading linguists, it gives a complete overview of the empirical facts
and theoretical insights gleaned in syntactic research in recent
decades.
Under the editorial direction of martin Everaert and Henk van
Riemsdijk, this comprehensive multi-volume set comprises case studies
commissioned specifically for this Companion. Contributors are drawn
from an international group of prestigious linguists, including Joseph
Emonds, Sandra Chung, Susan Rothstein, Adriana Belletti, C.-T. James
Huang, Howard Lasnik, and Marcel den Dikken, among many others.
Each set features an accessible alphabetical structure, with an
index integral to each volume. The entire Companion is also available
electronically on the accompanying CD-Rom. Published within the
prestigious Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics
series, this significant reference work can be relied upon to deliver
the quality and expertise with which this series - and Blackwell
Publishing' linguistics list - is associated.

Setting aside his wildly popular Forgotten Realms books for the moment, Bob Salvatore continues to wade into his character-development-heavy Demon Wars saga with this meaty kickoff to the latest DW series. If you're familiar with the series (and if you're not, start with The Demon Awakens), you know that this ain't Icewind Dale. The generously developed characters take center stage, and they--much to our initial dismay, perhaps--are far from invincible. (More than a few hearts were broken when Elbryan the Nightbird, Touel'alfar-trained ranger extraordinaire, bit the dust in the last book, Demon Apostle.)
First
series book. One thunb,(the crooked bartender at The Vulgar Unicorn);
Enas Yorl, magician and involuntary shape changer; Jubal, ex-gladiator
and slave who is now a pillar of the community; Lythande the
Star-browed (his magic is in question, his sword-play is not); Cappen
Varra the Minstrel. These are just some of the unforgetable players you
will meet on a stage where murder, mayhem, and skullduggery-with always
a bit of magic-are the order of the day.
