Made Free and Thrown Open to the Public

Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822988631
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Made Free and Thrown Open to the Public charts the history of public libraries and librarianship in Pennsylvania. Based on archival research at more than fifty libraries and historical societies, it describes a long progression from private, subscription-based associations to publicly funded institutions, highlighting the dramatic period during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when libraries were “thrown open” to women, children, and the poor. Made Free explains how Pennsylvania’s physical and cultural geography, legal codes, and other unique features influenced the spread and development of libraries across the state. It also highlights Pennsylvania libraries’ many contributions to the social fabric, especially during World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. Most importantly of all, Made Free convincingly argues that Pennsylvania libraries have made their greatest strides when community activists and librarians, supported with state and local resources, have worked collaboratively.

Taking the Fall, Poisoned Pin, Thrown Off
Author: Laney Monday
Publisher: Cozy Clue Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
This set includes the first three books in the Brenna Battle Cozy Mystery series. At the end of each full-length book, the mystery is solved and there are no cliff-hangers. ABOUT THE SERIES: In this fast-paced, fun cozy mystery series, Brenna, the proud new owner of the building that formerly housed Bonney Bay’s lone recreational opportunity for kids, Little Swans Ballet, is ready to turn tutu-clad powder-puffs into little warriors by opening a judo school for kids in its place. BOOK 1, TAKING THE FALL: Olympian Brenna Battle once had the fire. Now, she’s just burned out—and burned by love. She’s ready to retire from competitive judo and pursue a new dream in a new town, with her biggest supporter, her recently divorced little sister, Blythe. But on their first day in town, Blythe falls for local sleaze-bag reporter, Ellison Baxter, and their small-town welcome is stained by Baxter’s murder. The weapon—Blythe Battle’s hair brush. Now she must clear her sister’s name and save her new dream from ending even more disastrously than her Olympic hopes. Brenna must deal with one crazy member of the local police force, who’s determined to see the sisters pay—and another cop, whose deep brown eyes just might drive Brenna crazy—in a way her battered heart just can’t take. BOOK 2, POISONED PIN: Former Olympian and Arizona native Brenna Battle’s crazy dream of running her very own judo school for kids in tiny, historic Bonney Bay isn’t exactly off to a great start. She has a grand total of one student signed up, but she’s determined to succeed even if it means going door to door. Brenna’s search for judo recruits takes her inside the infamous haunted Reiner House, where she befriends a confused old man named Harvey, and finds herself at the scene of the second murder since her arrival in Bonney Bay. Brenna butts heads with Will Riggins, AKA Officer Dimples, when the poisoning of Derek Thompson is pinned on his uncle, Harvey Thompson. Harvey claims the ghosts of Reiner House are responsible. Brenna, busy battling the ghosts of her past failures and heartaches as she tries to get her business off the ground, is determined to prove there’s an earthly explanation for Derek’s murder. One that will set Harvey free, not only from jail, but from the torment of the “spirits” inhabiting Reiner House. BOOK 3, THROWN OFF: After a few bumps—and mysterious deaths—former Olympian Brenna Battle’s new dream of running her own judo school for kids is finally rolling along. Business is good, and her little Bonney Bay Battlers are getting ready to put on a show for their small town’s Fourth of July parade. Things are heating up between Brenna and her favorite police officer, Will Riggins, too. But then Millie Brown, one of the new friends Brenna and her sister, Blythe, have made since moving to tiny Bonney Bay, takes a spill off her ladder while painting a mural on the wall of the Cherry Bowl grocery store. Her suspicious death has the whole town thrown off. Amid the cupcakes and chili dogs and the bombs bursting in air, Brenna must risk everything, including her budding relationship with Will, to find a killer before time runs out.

Lexical Analysis
Author: Patrick Hanks
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262312867
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
A lexically based, corpus-driven theoretical approach to meaning in language that distinguishes between patterns of normal use and creative exploitations of norms. In Lexical Analysis, Patrick Hanks offers a wide-ranging empirical investigation of word use and meaning in language. The book fills the need for a lexically based, corpus-driven theoretical approach that will help people understand how words go together in collocational patterns and constructions to make meanings. Such an approach is now possible, Hanks writes, because of the availability of new forms of evidence (corpora, the Internet) and the development of new methods of statistical analysis and inferencing. Hanks offers a new theory of language, the Theory of Norms and Exploitations (TNE), which makes a systematic distinction between normal and abnormal usage—between rules for using words normally and rules for exploiting such norms in metaphor and other creative use of language. Using hundreds of carefully chosen citations from corpora and other texts, he shows how matching each use of a word against established contextual patterns plays a large part in determining the meaning of an utterance. His goal is to develop a coherent and practical lexically driven theory of language that takes into account the immense variability of everyday usage and that shows that this variability is rule governed rather than random. Such a theory will complement other theoretical approaches to language, including cognitive linguistics, construction grammar, generative lexicon theory, priming theory, and pattern grammar.
