A rare meteorite struck Alex Woods when he was ten years old, leaving scars and marking him for an extraordinary future. The son of a fortune teller, bookish, and an easy target for bullies, Alex hasn't had the easiest childhood. But when he meets curmudgeonly widower Mr. Peterson, he finds an unlikely friend. Someone who teaches him that that you only get one shot at life. That you have to make it count. So when, aged seventeen, Alex is stopped at customs with 113 grams of marijuana, an urn full of ashes on the front seat, and an entire nation in uproar, he's fairly sure he's done the right thing ... Introducing a bright young voice destined to charm the world, The Universe Versus Alex Woods is a celebration of curious incidents, astronomy and astrology, the works of Kurt Vonnegut and the unexpected connections that form our world.

Alex Woods weet dat hij niet de meest normale jeugd heeft gehad. Hij weet dat opgroeien met zijn helderziende moeder en zijn kat Lucy hem niet zal beschermen tegen de pestkoppen in zijn klas. Ook weet hij dat er op een dag zomaar een meteoriet in kan slaan _ hij heeft in elk geval de littekens om het te bewijzen. Wat hij niet weet is dat hij in de alleenstaande, humeurige Vietnamveteraan Isaac Peterson een vriend zal vinden. Een onverwachte vriend, die hem leert dat je maar één kans krijgt in het leven, waarvoor de juiste keuzes gemaakt moeten worden. Wanneer hij bij de douane in Dover tegengehouden wordt met 113 gram marihuana en de as van zijn overleden vriend op de achterbank van zijn auto, weet hij zeker dat hij die juiste keuzes heeft gemaakt. Het universum tegen Alex Woods is het verhaal over een tragische held, over onverwachte vriendschap en over een onwaarschijnlijke reis, en is zonder twijfel een van de grappigste en ontroerendste verhalen ooit geschreven. Gavin Extence (1982) is geboren in Swineshead, Lincolnshire. Momenteel werkt hij aan zijn tweede roman.

Um meteorito atinge o jovem Alex Woods, deixando cicatrizes e marcando o garoto para um futuro extraordinário. Mas antes de chegar lá ele tem que enfrentar uma infância conturbada. O universo contra Alex Woods é o primeiro livro do britânico Gavin Extence, uma nova e brilhante voz destinada a encantar o mundo. Com apenas 10 anos, Alex é atingido por um meteorito dentro do banheiro de sua própria casa. Depois de passar um período em coma no hospital, desperta e descobre que sua vida nunca mais será a mesma. Ele logo fica sabendo que a pedrada cósmica que tomou, além de notoriedade, também deixou sequelas, como um grave caso de epilepsia. E durante uma grande parte de sua infância é forçado a passar seus dias em casa, confinado em um pequeno quarto no qual mal cabe uma cama. Até que, finalmente, consegue convencer a sua superprotetora e desequilibrada mãe, cartomante, a voltar à escola, onde Alex tem que enfrentar os colegas do colégio e a curiosidade de uma estranha menina. Depois de um tumultuado encontro com os valentões, Alex conhece o rabugento viúvo sr. Peterson, e ganha um novo e incomum amigo. Alguém capaz de ensiná-lo que na vida você tem apenas uma chance, e tem que aproveitá-la ao máximo. O universo contra Alex Woods é um encontro de curiosos incidentes, astronomia e astrologia, e as inesperadas conexões que formam o mundo, além de uma bela homenagem à obra do consagrado escritor Kurt Vonnegut. Gavin Extence demonstra sensibilidade e humor incomuns para tratar de assuntos complexos como epilepsia e eutanásia. E com habilidade e muito leveza, deixa uma pergunta na cabeça de cada novo fã: até onde iremos por uma verdadeira amizade?

Adriaan Reland (1676-1718), Arabist, Cartographer, Antiquarian and Scholar of Comparative Religion covers the intellectual achievements of a remarkable man: Adriaan Reland, professor of Oriental languages (1701) and Hebrew Antiquities (1713) at the University of Utrecht from 1701 to 1718. Although he never travelled beyond the borders of his home country, he had an astonishingly broad worldview. The contributions in this volume illuminate Reland’s many accomplishments and follow his scholarly trajectory as an Orientalist, a linguist, a cartographer, a poet, and a historian of comparative religions. Reland, although a devout Protestant, believed that religions should be examined objectively on their own terms with the help of reliable and authentic documents, which would dispel the prejudices of the past.

Verhoeff investigates the emergence of the western genre, made in the first two decades of cinema (1895-1915). By analyzing many unknown and forgotten films from international archives she traces the relationships between films about the American West, their surrounding films, and other popular media such as photography, painting, (pulp) literature, Wild West Shows and popular ethnography. Through this exploration of archival material she raises new questions of historiography and provides a model for historical analysis. These first traces of the Western film reveal a preoccupation with presence and actuality that informs us about the way in which film, as new medium, took shape within the context of its contemporary visual culture. In The West in Early Cinema gaat Nanna Verhoeff op zoek naar de nog onbekende beginjaren van het westerngenre tijdens de eerste twee decennia van het medium film 1895-1915). Aan de hand van onbekende en vergeten films uit internationale filmarchieven traceert zij de relaties tussen films over het Westen, omringende filmgenres uit deze periode, en andere populaire media als fotografie, schilderkunst, (pulp)literatuur, Wild West Shows en populaire etnografie. Deze sporen van het genre tonen een grote actualiteit en variatie, die laat zien op welke manier de film als nieuw medium een vorm vond binnen de toenmalige visuele cultuur.

Robyn has an hypnotic voice, blue eyes the shade of an angry sky, and ravishing beauty that makes Adam’s insides ache. She’s also just been released from a residential psychiatric program—the kind for the worst, most difficult-to-cure cases; the kind that Adam and his fellow support group members will do anything to avoid joining. Adam immediately knows that he has to save Robyn, must save Robyn, or die trying. But is it really Robyn who needs rescuing? And is it possible to have a normal relationship when your life is anything but? Select praise for The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B: “. . . achingly authentic.

Toten employs information about OCD like grace notes in this deft and compelling narrative.” —Booklist “Adam is a fresh and complex character, and far more than the sum of his symptoms.” —Publishers Weekly

Renowned activist Andy Parker's account of the story that shocked America, the murder of his daughter, reporter Alison Parker, on live television, and his extraordinary ensuing fight for commonsense gun safety legislation and doing "Whatever It Takes" to end gun violence. On August 26, 2015, Emmy Award–winning twenty-four-year-old reporter Alison Parker was murdered on live television, along with her colleague, photojournalist Adam Ward. Their interviewee was also shot, but survived. People watching at home heard the gunshots, and the gunman's video of the murder, which he uploaded to Facebook, would spread over the internet like wildfire. In the wake of his daughter's murder, Andy Parker became a national leader in the fight for commonsense gun safety legislation. The night of the murder, with his emotions still raw, he went on Fox News and vowed to do "Whatever it Takes" to end gun violence in America. Today he is a media go-to each time a shooting shocks the national consciousness, and has worked with a range of other crusaders, like Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Lenny Pozner, whose son was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School and brought suit against Alex Jones and Infowars, who claimed the shooting was staged. In For Alison, Parker shares his work as a powerhouse battling gun violence and gives a plan for commonsense gun legislation that all sides should agree on. He calls out the NRA-backed politicians blocking the legislation, shares his fight against "truthers," who claim Alison's murder was fabricated, and reveals what's ahead in his fight to do whatever it takes to stop gun violence. Parker's story is one of great loss, but also resilience, determination, and a call to action. Senator Tim Kaine, also a fierce advocate for commonsense gun laws, contributes a moving foreword.

"Form" and "formalism" are a pair of highly productive and polysemous terms that occupy a central place in much linguistic scholarship. Diverse notions of "form" – embedded in biological, cognitive and aesthetic discourses – have been employed in accounts of language structure and relationship, while "formalism" harbours a family of senses referring to particular approaches to the study of language as well as representations of linguistic phenomena. This volume brings together a series of contributions from historians of science and philosophers of language that explore some of the key meanings and uses that these multifaceted terms and their derivatives have found in linguistics, and what these reveal about the mindset, temperament and daily practice of linguists, from the nineteenth century up to the present day.
