Liverpool University Press The Most Dreadful Visitation Male Madness in
Book SynopsisAn Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library.Victorian literature is rife with scenes of madness, with mental disorder functioning as everything from a simple plot device to a commentary on the foundations of Victorian society.Trade ReviewIn The Most Dreadful Visitation: Male Madness in Victorian Fiction Valerie Pedlar looks at the treatment of "fears, insecurities and ambiguities concerning the state of manhood" in representations of male insanity (pp.1-2). Pedlar pursues her topics-idiocy, erotic frustration, wrongful confinement, madness in marriage degeneracy-across a wide range of texts, some of them familiar (by Dickens, Tennyson, Trollope, Bram Stoker) and some not (Ellen Wood's Martin's Eve, Eliza Lynn Linton's Sowing the Wind, Henry Cockton's The Life and Adventures of Valentine Vox, Ventriloquist). Pedlar's study complements-and in some aspects corrects-the preoccupation with madness as a female condition in recent historicist studies.

Book SynopsisThe Seven Years War was the most successful in British History, with naval supremacy triumphantly asserted over France and Spain, and a vast new overseas empire conquered. This book tells the story of the British shipping that carried, supplied and sustained the British expeditions that shattered French and Spanish imperial power in America.Trade ReviewShipping and Military Power is traditional, top-down naval history at its finest. The book is wonderfully illustrated, well written, and well researched. Anyone interested in naval history in general, and naval administration and logistics in particular, will thoroughly enjoy this book. Christopher P. Magra, Nautical Research Journal. Vol. 54, Issue 3... this is an excellent book, well researched, well crafted and well written. James Pritchard, The Journal of Military History, Vol 73 No 4Table of Contents Contents Introduction Establishing the context of what follows 1. The Navy Board's Shipping; Sets out how the Navy Board procured and fitted out ships as troop and horse transports, taking the reader through the complex process, commenting on the sheer scale of the operation, with frequent illustrative examples. 2. The Victualling Board's Shipping; Sets out the same for the Victualling Board and includes a detailed study of how the Western Squadron was re-supplied at sea during its crucial close blockade of the main French naval base at Brest - which prevented the French from responding to the British expeditions against the French colonial possessions throughout the world and prevented the French from invading the British Isles. 3. The Ordnance Board's Shipping; Sets out the same for the supply of guns and gunpowder to the armed forces, with appropriate illustrative detail. 4. Agents for Transports and the Procurement of Shipping in North America; Examines the group who ran the transport system at the local/maritime level and how the transports were managed at sea. Also explores the special American agents necessary for raising shipping in North America and how the system worked there. 5. The Machine in Motion: The procurement and fitting of transports for the expedition to Havana, 1762; A case study, which, after considering the hesitant start of the system at the beginning of the war, shows how it worked to its maximum efficiency in the last great overseas operation - the conquest of Havana. 6. The management of amphibious operations in the mid-eighteenth century; Shows at the tactical level how the shipping was then employed in landing operations, putting ashore expeditions on enemy beaches. Conclusion Emphasising the significance of this immense and complex logistical effort in making the success of the Seven Years War possible and comparing it with the successes and failures of the preceding 1739-48 war and succeeding 1775-83 American War.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Practical Corpus Linguistics P
Book SynopsisThis is the first book of its kind to provide a practical and student-friendly guide to corpus linguistics that explains the nature of electronic data and how it can be collected and analyzed. Designed to equip readers with the technical skills necessary to analyze and interpret language data, both written and (orthographically) transcribed Introduces a number of easy-to-use, yet powerful, free analysis resources consisting of standalone programs and web interfaces for use with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux Each section includes practical exercises, a list of sources and further reading, and illustrated step-by-step introductions to analysis tools Requires only a basic knowledge of computer concepts in order to develop the specific linguistic analysis skills required for understanding/analyzing corpus data Trade Review"This textbook makes Practical Corpus Linguistics accessible to everyone. The focus on methodological and technical aspects and the instructive dimension of the book – nothing is considered obvious or already known – make it very useful to any corpus linguist aiming at a better understanding of his/her data...Through the various exercises, it is very easy to test one’s comprehension and the reader gradually gains confidence. The educational, sometimes entertaining tone as well as the glossary also contribute to gradually enhance the reader’s learning capacities in a field in which many feel insecure...It should accompany scholars at the beginning of any research to raise awareness about technical issues that are too often overlooked..." - Robert A.

Book SynopsisA vital resource on speech and language processing in bilingual adults and children The Listening Bilingual brings together in one volume the various components of spoken language processing in bilingual adults, infants and children. The book includes a review of speech perception and word recognition; syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of speech processing; the perception and comprehension of bilingual mixed speech (code-switches, borrowings and interferences); and the assessment of bilingual speech perception and comprehension in adults and children in the clinical context. The two main authors as well as selected guest authors, Mark Antoniou, Theres Grüter, Robert J. Hartsuiker, Elizabeth D. Peña and Lisa M.

Book SynopsisFeaturing a collection of newly commissioned essays, edited by two leading scholars, this Handbook surveys the key research findings in the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP).Trade Review“Though this volume is intended for graduate students and teachers of TESOL and applied linguistics, the accessible style of the handbook appeals to a wider audience. Overall, this book is an invaluable resource for teaching and research.” (Discourse Studies, 18 November 2014) “The Handbook of English for Specific Purposes would make an excellent addition to school or university collections. It could also be an excellent textbook for a dedicated course on ESP in a teacher education program . . . The Handbook provides a broad overview of the field, with sections specifically oriented to teachers, administrators and/or teacher educators (‘ESP and language skills’, ‘ESP and pedagogy’), as well as to researchers (‘Areas of ESP research’, Research perspectives and methodologies in ESP research’).” (English Australia Journal, 1 March 2013)Table of ContentsNotes on Contributors vii Acknowledgments xiii Introduction to the Handbook 1 1 The History of English for Specific Purposes Research 5Ann M.
