Bad Signs
Author: R.J. Ellory
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1468313320
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
From a “master of the genre,” a psychological thriller about two brothers who are taken captive by a convicted serial killer. (New York Times bestselling authorClive Cussler) Orphaned by an act of senseless violence that took their mother from them, half-brothers Clarence Luckman and Elliott Danziger have been raised in state institutions, unaware of any world beyond its walls. But their lives take a sudden turn when they are seized as hostages by a convicted killer en route to death row. Earl Sheridan is a psychopath of the worst kind, and as he and his two hostages set off on a frenetic path through California down to Texas, Clarence and Elliot must come to terms with the ever-growing tide of violence in their wake. It’s a path that will force them to make a choice that will change their lives forever. Set in the 1960s, Bad Signs is a tale of the darkness within all of us, the inherent hope for salvation, and the ultimate consequences of evil. Praised by Alan Furst as a “uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer,” R.J. Ellory delivers a thriller as beautiful as it is riveting, returning to the haunting ground of his international bestseller, A Quiet Belief in Angels. “A haunting thriller...an existential look at the nature of fate . . . gripping.” –Kirkus Reviews “Ellory brilliantly renders Clay’s sense of loss, loneliness, and fear?but also his resolute hope for salvation. Pair this striking mix of character study and thriller with John Hart’s similarly gripping Iron House.” —Booklist “A spellbinding and compelling thriller . . . Highly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review

House Signs and Collegiate Fun
Author: Chaise LaDousa
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253223261
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
It's no secret that fun is important to American college students, but it is unusual for scholars to pay attention to how undergraduates represent and reflect on their partying. Linguist and anthropologist Chaise LaDousa explores the visual manifestations of collegiate fun in a Midwestern college town where house signs on off-campus student residences are a focal point of college culture. With names like Boot 'N Rally, The Plantation, and Crib of the Rib, house signs reproduce consequential categories of gender, sexuality, race, and faith in a medium students say is benign. Through his analysis of house signs and what students say about them, LaDousa introduces the reader to key concepts and approaches in cultural analysis.

Simplified Signs: A Manual Sign-Communication System for Special Populations, Volume 2.
Author: John D. Bonvillian
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1800640021
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 658
Book Description
Simplified Signs presents a system of manual sign communication intended for special populations who have had limited success mastering spoken or full sign languages. It is the culmination of over twenty years of research and development by the authors. The Simplified Sign System has been developed and tested for ease of sign comprehension, memorization, and formation by limiting the complexity of the motor skills required to form each sign, and by ensuring that each sign visually resembles the meaning it conveys. Volume 1 outlines the research underpinning and informing the project, and places the Simplified Sign System in a wider context of sign usage, historically and by different populations. Volume 2 presents the lexicon of signs, totalling approximately 1000 signs, each with a clear illustration and a written description of how the sign is formed, as well as a memory aid that connects the sign visually to the meaning that it conveys. While the Simplified Sign System originally was developed to meet the needs of persons with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, autism, or aphasia, it may also assist the communication needs of a wider audience – such as healthcare professionals, aid workers, military personnel , travellers or parents, and children who have not yet mastered spoken language. The system also has been shown to enhance learning for individuals studying a foreign language. Lucid and comprehensive, this work constitutes a valuable resource that will enhance the communicative interactions of many different people, and will be of great interest to researchers and educators alike.
