The History of Mongolia

A significant aspect of this work is the emphasis on source materials, including some translated from Mongolian and other languages for the first time. The source materials and other articles are all fully contextualized and situated by introductory material by the volume's editors. This is the first work in English to bring together significant articles in Mongolian studies in one place, which will be widely welcomed by scholars and researchers in this field.

The Complete Star Wars Trilogy

The Complete Star Wars TrilogyThis "theater of the imagination" enhances the three films . . .Ever Wonder About the Little Things in Star Wars? In this classic radio drama it fills in all of the Star Wars gaps left in the plot like the stort of Biggs Darklighter and Lukes other friends before the arrival of R2-D2 and C-3PO. The voices that aren't the original cast are done so well that after a the first few episodes you forget that they weren't cast originally I give it two thumbs up. The music and sound effects can't be beat.

Language Contact and the Origins of the Germanic Languages

History, archaeology, and human evolutionary genetics provide us with an increasingly detailed view of the origins and development of the peoples that live in Northwestern Europe. This book aims to restore the key position of historical linguistics in this debate by treating the history of the Germanic languages as a history of its speakers. It focuses on the role that language contact has played in creating the Germanic languages, between the first millennium BC and the crucially important early medieval period.

American Daredevil

With a polished walking stick and neatly pressed trousers, Richard Halliburton served as an intrepid globetrotting guide for millions of Americans in the 1920s and '30s. Readers waited with bated breath for each new article and book he wrote. During his career, Halliburton climbed the Matterhorn, nearly fell out of his plane while shooting the first aerial photographs of Mt. Everest, and became the first person to swim the Panama Canal.
