Sinopsis

In "Language: Its Nature, Development and Origin," Otto Jespersen explores the intricate tapestry of language, considering its biological, psychological, and social dimensions. Through a rigorous linguistic framework, Jespersen employs a descriptive and analytical style that deftly combines historical linguistics with contemporary insights, revealing the evolution of language as a dynamic and living system. He delves into concepts such as phonetics, syntax, and semantics while situating linguistic development within broader cultural and historical contexts, making it an essential text for understanding the complexities of human communication. Otto Jespersen, a prominent Danish linguist and a pioneering figure in the field of English grammar, draws on his extensive academic background to craft this seminal work. His experiences in the rapidly evolving landscape of European languages during the late 19th and early 20th centuries likely informed his inquiry into language origins and classifications. Jespersen's ability to synthesize various linguistic theories showcases his commitment to the scientific study of language, making him a respected authority in the field. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and language enthusiasts alike, offering profound insights into the essence of language itself. Jespersen's thoughtful analysis invites readers to reflect on their own linguistic experiences while providing a comprehensive foundation for further exploration in the spheres of linguistics and semiotics.

    Since the collapse of the housing market in 2008, demand for housing has consistently outpaced supply in many US communities. The failure to construct sufficient housing—especially affordable housing—in desirable communities and neighborhoods comes with significant social, economic, and environmental costs. This book examines how local participatory land use institutions amplify the power of entrenched interests and privileged homeowners. The book draws on sweeping data to examine the dominance of land use politics by "neighborhood defenders"—individuals who oppose new housing projects far more strongly than their broader communities and who are likely to be privileged on a variety of dimensions. Neighborhood defenders participate disproportionately and take advantage of land use regulations to restrict the construction of multifamily housing. The result is diminished housing stock and higher housing costs, with participatory institutions perversely reproducing inequality.

    A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri's US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed! 
     
     
     
    Alexandra Petri's US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri's "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. 
     
     
     
    On Petri's deranged timeline, John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. Nearly eighty short, hilarious pieces span centuries of American history and culture. Nikola Tesla's friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon. The characters from Sesame Street invade Normandy. And Mark Twain—who famously said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated—offers a detailed account of his undeath, in which he becomes a zombie. 
     
      
     
    This side-splitting work of historical humor shows why Alexandra Petri has been hailed as a "genius," a "national treasure," and "one of the funniest writers alive."
