Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringThis Very Short Introduction to psycholinguistics is an accessible and engaging description of how people use language. Talking and understanding language probably seem like simple and straightforward skills, but research in psycholinguistics has shown that complex computations take place behind the scenes when you communicate with others. Recent debates concerning how AI tools such as ChatGPT work highlight some of these core questions about the language faculty and how it is that humans comprehend, produce, and learn language. The book begins with an overview of the fields of linguistics and psychology and how they have cooperated from the earliest days of psycholinguistics. It then considers how words and sentences are interpreted, how they are generated, and how human conversation is coordinated. The book also reviews research on reading, sign language processing, and bilingualism. The closing chapter summarizes where the field is heading, with a brief discussion of Large Language Models, the role of Information Theory, the growing emphasis on the neurobiology of language, and the increasing diversity of research in psycholinguistics, both with respect to the languages studied and the backgrounds and histories of language researchers. Issues that are considered include: (1) How successfully do ... Unknown localization key: "more"

An African-centered account of the protracted battle to end the slave trade, connecting local and global historiesIn Worlds of Unfreedom, Roquinaldo Ferreira recasts West Central Africa as a key battleground in the struggle to abolish the transatlantic slave trade between the 1830s and the 1860s. Ferreira foregrounds the experiences and agency of enslaved Africans, challenging Eurocentric narratives that marginalize African participation in abolition efforts. Drawing on extensive archival research across multiple continents, he shows how enslaved people actively resisted the oppressive systems that sought to commodify their lives. Doing so, he integrates microhistorical analysis with broader world history, exploring individual trajectories to unravel complex global phenomena. Worlds of Unfreedom bridges a crucial gap by connecting Atlantic and Indian Ocean histories, revealing how abolitionist measures often camouflaged new forms of labor exploitation and forced migration under emerging colonial regimes. Ferreira’s analysis spans the globe, from Luanda, the kingdom of Kongo, and the Lunda Empire to Havana, Rio de Janeiro, New York City, and Réunion Island. He examines the South Atlantic as a space where politics and race-making were deeply intertwined, with ideas and identities crossing and recrossing the ocean. He considers Portugal’s strategic use of abolition efforts for territorial expansion, its ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Fernando Pessoa''s The Book of Disquiet is a modernist masterwork that has now taken on a similar iconic status to Ulysses, The Trial or In Search of Lost Time. This complete and unabridged edition – published in Penguin Modern Classics - is edited and translated with an introduction by Richard Zenith''The best English-language version we are likely to see for a long time, if ever'' - The Guardian*Winner of the Calouste Gulbenkian Translation Prize for Portuguese Translation*''Fernando Pessoa, strictly speaking, doesn''t exist,'' - so claimed Alvaro de Campos, one of the ''heteronyms'', fully-realised substitute personalities invented by Fernando Pessoa to spare himself the trouble of living real life. In this extraordinary book, the putative ''factless autobiography'' of an accountant named Bernardo Soares, Fernando Pessoa explores and dismantles the nature of memory, identity, time and narrative, creating one of the greatest - but also the strangest - modernist texts. An assembly of sometimes-linked fragments, The Book of Disquiet is a mesmerising, haunting ''novel'' without parallel in any other culture.This edition includes notes on the reconstruction of the text, appendices containing material omitted from the final version and letters which Pessoa intended to incorporate into the text.

Býval to nejlepší gothamský policajt. Teď je z něj Temný rytíř. Jima Gordona nikdy nenapadlo, že se ocitne v kůži svého někdejšího spojence i protivníka a že převezme roli Batmana. Nyní, když je sám tváří pod maskou, zjišťuje, že riziko, které to obnáší, je mnohem větší, než si kdy myslel. Větší bude ale i odměna. Nyní se Gordon nemusí řídit předpisy a nařízeními platnými pro Gothamskou policii, a má tak sílu dořešit své staré případy, pomoct svým starým kamarádům a zaútočit přímo na nepřítele. Ale minulost se umí ozvat, a i když teď Jim zaujímá v boji proti zločinu jinou roli, duchové starých časů se hlásí o slovo.

Šamanka je mrtvá. Někdo ji zavraždil. Nejde ovšem o to kdo, ale proč. Každý by si našel důvod - zpackaný potrat, peníze, drogy, ponížení, zoufalství. Příběhy obyvatel zapadlého městečka v karibské části Mexika jsou naléhavým a surovým svědectvím, které se z románu hrne a valí v proudu vulgarit, nářků a nadávek. Jako by všechny postavy chtěly do každé věty vmáčknout svou bolest, vztek a bezmoc vůči světu a zároveň se nechtěly vzdát své touhy po štěstí. Mexická spisovatelka Fernanda Melchorová tuto životní realitu dobře zná. Popisuje ji mnoho let jako novinářka - za své články získala cenu mexického PEN klubu. Zná ji i jako žena, která v karibské oblasti země vyrůstala. Kniha byla přeložena do několika evropských jazyků, německý překlad získal významné ocenění Internationaler Literaturpreis a v roce 2020 byla kniha nominována na Mezinárodní Bookerovu cenu.

Fikce, mystifikace a paradoxy vyznačují literární dílo Portugalce Fernanda Pessoy (1888-1935), publikované až na výjimky teprve po autorově smrti. Dnes světově známý spisovatel se literárně představoval nejen pod svým jménem, ale zvláště v podobě imaginárních autorských osobností, obdařených originálním dílem. Sám o sobě tvrdil, že umělecky "umí pouze lhát", ale náš výbor z několika okruhů Pessoovy korespondence z let 1913-1935 jej chce ukázat z jiné stránky než jen jako tvůrce roztříštěného ve slavných básnických a prozaických heteronymech (Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, Alberto Caeiro, Bernardo Soares aj.) a jako někoho, "kdo nikdy nebyl", totiž jako člověka zajímavého a mnohdy pohnutého osudu. Dopisy ze tří období a tří sfér jeho života přestupují nejistou hranici lži a pravdy a vytvářejí poutavé příběhy, prožité v prvních desetiletích dvacátého století.

Spisovatel, novinář, esejista a literární kritik Fernando Iwasaki se narodil v roce 1961 v peruánské Limě. Po studiu historie obdržel stipendium v Indickém archivu v Seville (Španělsko), kde se posléze i natrvalo usadil. Iwasaki je výraznou tváří španělského kulturního života. Pracuje pro několik nadací, známý je i jako sloupkař deníků ABC, La Razón, El País a dalších. Z jeho literární tvorby je oceňovaný zejména historický román Neguijón (2005) z prostředí Limy 16. století. Je autorem řady esejů, kronik a povídek. Věnuje se také mikropovídce, čímž navazuje na dlouholetou tradici tohoto žánru v latinskoamerické a španělské literatuře. Český čtenář má nyní poprvé možnost seznámit se s jeho dílem v češtině prostřednictvím hororových mikropovídek Pohřební výbavička, v nichž rezonuje Poe, Borges, Maupassant i Henry James.Autor sám však zdůrazňuje: "Také se to v nich hemží chodbami z pokojů mrtvých strýců, popudlivým přízrakem mé prababičky, mrazivým úsměvem služebné Guillerminy, krvavým krucifi xem z komody mé babičky a Sálem mrtvých, kde jsem strávil jednu neblahou noc roku 1970."

The Book of Disquiet is one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa''s life, it was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind by Pessoa after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa''s celebrated translation with the most complete version of the text ever produced. It is presented here, for the first time in English, by order of original composition, and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript.Narrated principally by an assistant bookkeeper named Bernardo Soares - an alias of sorts for Pessoa himself - The Book of Disquiet is ''the autobiobraphy of someone who never existed'', a mosaic of dreams, of hope and despair; a hymn to the streets and cafés of 1930s Lisbon, and an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century''s most important writers. This new edition represents the most complete vision of Pessoa''s genius.

Agile Strategy is a practical guide for managers responsible for setting the strategic direction of their organisations in increasingly dynamic markets. Through its frameworks, tools and real-world examples, it explains how to transform business performance through greater organisational agility. LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION Why do we need a new book on strategy?The pace of change is increasing, and strategic management is not keeping up. More than one in four (28%) strategic initiatives fail to meet their original goals and business intent[1], with insufficient agility identified as one of the top three barriers to successful strategy implementation[2].The square peg of traditional strategy — vision, mission and blue-sky exercises; the separation of strategy from “implementation” — no longer fits the round hole of increasingly dynamic markets. It is time for a new approach.How is Agile Strategy different?Agile Strategy distinguishes itself from other strategy and agile books currently available in that it is: Designed for large organisations: Much of the writing on agile techniques addresses start-ups or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which operate under very different constraints and freedoms.

The writing of Fernando Pessoa reveals a mind shaken by intense inner suffering. In these poems he adopted four separate personae: Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and himself, using them to express ''great swarms of thought and feeling''. While each personae has its own poetic identity, together they convey a sense of ambivalence and consolidate a striving for completeness. Dramatic, lyrical, Christian, pagan, old and modern, Pessoa''s poets and poetry contribute to the ''mysterious importance of existence''.

Set in and around the city of Veracruz in Mexico, This Is Not Miami delivers a series of devastating stories – spiralling from real events – that bleed together reportage and the author’s rich and rigorous imagination. These crónicas – a genre unique to Latin American writing that blends reportage, narrative non-fiction and novelistic forms – probe deeply into the motivations of murderers and misfits, into their desires and circumstances, forcing us to understand them – and even empathize – despite our wish to disdain them as monsters. As in her hugely acclaimed novels Hurricane Season and Paradais, and once again brilliantly translated by Sophie Hughes, Fernanda Melchor’s masterful stories show how the violent and shocking aberrations that make the headlines are only the surface ruptures of a society on the brink of chaos.

For those who want to understand why human society has emerged as it has, this is essential reading'' Rana Mitter, author of China''s Good WarThe laws now enforced throughout the world are almost all modelled on systems developed in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. During two hundred years of colonial rule, Europeans exported their laws everywhere they could. But they weren''t filling a void: in many places, they displaced traditions that were already ancient when Vasco Da Gama first arrived in India. Where, then, did it all begin? And what has law been and done over the course of human history?

NAMED A BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 BY THE SUNDAY TIMES, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT, THE TABLET AND THE LADY''This book is a terrific read ... I could not put it down'' Matthew Restall, Literary ReviewThe ''conquistadores'', the early explorers and settlers of Spanish America, have become the stuff of legends and nightmares. In their own time, they were glorified as heroic adventurers, spreading Christian culture and helping to build an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. Today, they stand condemned for their cruelty and exploitation, as men who decimated the ancient civilizations of the Aztecs and the Incas, and carried out horrific atrocities in their pursuit of gold and glory.In Conquistadores, Mexican historian Fernando Cervantes cuts through the layers of myth and fiction to immerse the reader in the world of the late-medieval imperialist. It is a world as unfamiliar to us as the Indigenous peoples of the New World were to the conquistadores themselves.

Scientists around the world rise up for climate and ecological justice In April 2022, hundreds of scientists rose in civil disobedience, breaking the law in more than twenty-eight countries. Risking arrest, they glued their hands to roads, blocked government and corporate buildings, and chained themselves to the White House fence. In Science in Resistance, Fernando Racimo provides a first-person account of the Scientist Rebellion, a growing international movement of researchers stepping beyond conventional roles to alert the public about the need for action in the climate emergency. Combining personal stories, interviews with frontline activists, and insights from research on direct action and academia, he explores the challenges scientists face when taking a stand for climate and social justice. Reflecting on his role as a scientist-activist, Racimo describes how he came to be involved in the movement. He also explores the many ways in which academic institutions today are complicit in climate breakdown—whether by accepting funding from and collaborating with the very industries driving it, or by discouraging scientists from speaking up. Drawing on lessons from political science, psychology, ecology, sociology, and the history of science, this inspiring book shows how we can all take a stand for climate justice, by ...

This compelling work delves into the personal narratives of Hiaki (Yaqui) individuals who endured the tumultuous period from 1900 to 1930, when they faced systematic attacks, conscription, deportation, and enslavement under Mexican government policies. Presented in both the original Hiaki language and English translation, these accounts offer an unparalleled glimpse into the lives of those who resisted and survived the era’s harsh realities. The narratives describe military engagements, the struggles of refugee life, forced labor, and the resilience of families under extreme duress. This work provides a unique and unvarnished account of the impacts of Mexican colonialism and aggression on individuals and families, completely from the Hiaki perspective. Au Te Waate / We Remember It is not just a historical account but a linguistic treasure, preserving the naturally produced speech of five Hiaki speakers from a previous era. Transcriptions of interviews recorded by author Maria Fernanda Leyva with family members and friends provide invaluable insights into the Hiaki language. The interviews document and preserve the narrative styles, vocabulary, and grammatical constructions of the time. This work also serves as a crucial resource for scholars of linguistics and history alike, capturing dialect variation and illustrating the linguistic evolution of the Hiaki ...

"After looking for him in the poems, we search for him in the prose. The pursuit of the Other in Pessoa''s work is never-ending," writes Edwin Honig. Essential to understanding the great Portuguese poet are the essays written about (and by) his heteronyms—Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and Alvaro de Campos—the several pseudonyms under which he wrote an extraordinary body of poetry. In Always Astonished, Pessoa and his several selves debate and discuss one another''s work, revealing how Portuguese modernism was shaped. Fernando Pessoa is one of the great voices of twentieth-century literature, and these manifestos, letters, journal notes, and critical essays range through aesthetics, lyric poetry, dramatic and visual arts, and the psychology of the artist. He gives us, too, a singularly heterodox political position in his strange work of fiction, The Anarchist Banker."Eloquent, volatile and obsessed with life—and death—(Pessoa is one of the) modernist giants in whose shadow we live and who made our century one of the extraordinary richness."—The New York TimesFernando Pessoa is Portugal''s most important contemporary poet. He wrote under several identities, which he called heteronyms: Albet Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, and Bernardo Soares. He wrote fine poetry under his own name as well, ...

In 2022, journalists announced the impending economic death of a small Mexican town. Pisté, gateway to the famed Chichén Itzá archeological site, would be circumvented by the Tren Maya commuter rail megaproject, depriving it of the promise of steady tourist traffic. Instead of ruminating with frustration, locals set to work on negotiations with the state and federal governments. Generations of experience taught them that pragmatic engagement with mainstream political parties was essential in turning into opportunity projects with the potential to kill the local economy. Fernando Armstrong-Fumero situates the Tren Maya in a long history of roadbuilding and economic development on the Yucatán Peninsula beginning in the 1930s. Drawing together archival research and decades of ethnographic work, Armstrong-Fumero develops the concept of negative infrastructure to show how infrastructural and industrial investments configure rural economic futures as well as how communities seek to mitigate the harms from projects designed to benefit other regions or interests. The push and pull of development reveals the strategies residents use to influence political change through municipal elections and informal protest. Recognizing their life-changing potential, rural Maya Yucatecans recast infrastructural projects as new possibilities for inclusion, agency, and resistance as participants in formal state and economic ...

Writer Chanis Fernando-Boisard explains that Ayah & Other Stories was born out of My poignant memories of a blessed childhood in Sri Lanka and my life in France, in between traversing many places and time-frames the world over. The writer explains that life is a cycle, one always keeps going back, and in her first chapter, Ayah, the character Asilin''s chilling warning, about marrying a foreigner and the dangers of living overseas, is dramatically backed up by a lizard cry, which in Sri Lanka is said to be a signal of foreboding and evil. As a young girl Chanis, called Miss Nelun in the book, found this somewhat dramatic event deeply disturbing, but now, looking back with the wisdom of age, she realizes that Asilin had a point; one is best in one''s homeland once that inner rebellion is done with. The power of this collection of stories is in the harsh realities of life''s lessons that she succinctly sums up by saying Life is tough, life is unfair; why do some things happen to some and not to others I wonder?
