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.
This "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.

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.

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.
