    Hauntings, aliens, and other unexplained phenomena are encountered in strange new ways in this unique investigation into paranormal contact.   In Phantom Messages, paranormal investigators William J. Hall and Jimmy Petonito examine stories of unexplained contact by phone, computer, TV, radio, letter, and other mediums. These messages come from a variety of mysterious sources, from loved ones who never sent them to extraterrestrials, deceased friends, and bizarre beings from the past or future.   There are recordings of what seem to be future events in progress, and messages from people who lived centuries in the past. Some feature predictions, or warnings, that are eerily accurate. As Hall and Petonito attempt to unravel these impossible communications, they share real life paranormal messages of hope, terror, time slips, and wonder.

    "Sieges determined the course of the English Civil Wars, yet they receive scant attention. In contrast, the major set-piece battles are repeatedly analyzed and reassessed. As a result our understanding of the conflict, and of its outcome, is incomplete. John Barratt, in this lucid and perceptive account, makes the siege the focal point of his study. As well as looking at the theory and practice of siege warfare and fortification, he considers the often-devastating human impact. Using a selection of graphic examples, he shows how siege warfare could ruin the lives of the soldiers - and the civilians - caught up in it.He examines in detail a dozen sieges, using a combination of eyewitness accounts, other contemporary sources, archaeological surveys, and other modern research. His study provides a detailed and vivid reconstruction of these often neglected episodes of civil war history. "

    "If Shakespeare were alive today, he'd sound like an American." 
     
     
     
    "English accents are the sexiest." 
     
     
     
    "Americans have ruined the English language." 
     
     
     
    "Technology means everyone will have to speak the same English." 
     
     
     
    Such claims about the English language are often repeated but rarely examined. Professor Lynne Murphy is on the linguistic front line. In The Prodigal Tongue she explores the fiction and reality of the special relationship between British and American English. By examining the causes and symptoms of American Verbal Inferiority Complex and its flipside, British Verbal Superiority Complex, Murphy unravels the prejudices, stereotypes, and insecurities that shape our attitudes to our own language. 
     
     
      
    With great humo(u)r and new insights, Lynne Murphy looks at the social, political, and linguistic forces that have driven American and British English in different directions: how Americans got from centre to center, why British accents are growing away from American ones, and what different things we mean when we say estate, frown, or middle class. Is anyone winning this war of the words? Will Yanks and Brits ever really understand each other?
