This volume examines the language of microblogs drawing on the example of a group of eleven users who are united by their interest in ballet as a physical activity and an art form. The focus is on the speech acts of self-praise and complaint, and on the storytelling practices of microbloggers.
Quantum theory revolutionized physics at the beginning of the last century. Einstein was one of its originators, but as the implications of the theory emerged, he began to have doubts.

The ramifications may appear bizarre but they are central to understanding this much misunderstood subject.

The collection is comprised of four sections that take up the space between children and adults, the representation of 'real world' places, fantasy travel and locales, and the physical space of the children's book-as-object.
