As a contribution to the ongoing discussion of the genesis of the Germanic language, this book investigates the strong verbs of Proto-Germanic using a new approach that combines historical and typological morphology with quantitative etymology. It reveals that the morphological peculiarities and the etymological problems of the strong verbs have been considerably underestimated. The first part of the book explains how drastically the inherited verb system was transformed when it was uniformized and simplified around a functionalized verbal ablaut. In particular, it is shown that the systemi

tevenson’s famous exploration of humanity’s basest capacity for evil, "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," has become synonymous with the idea of a split personality. More than a morality tale, this dark psychological fantasy is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution, criminality, and secret lives. Also in this volume are "The Body Snatcher," which charts the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, and "Olalla," a tale of vampirism and "the beast within," with a beautiful woman at its center.

Ukrainian language study changed dramatically when Ukraine became an independent state in 1991. In the period since then, the Ukrainian nation has initiated a robust re-examination of its language and fostered the spread of Ukrainian-language heritage learners who previously made up the bulk of students in Ukrainian-language courses. These new students are interested in professional opportunities in Ukraine or Ukrainian studies; many have been exposed to Russian. "Rozmovliaimo!" is the first textbook to fully embrace the new realities of the Ukrainian landscape and to incorporate the latest ad

This startlingly original (and sure to be controversial) account of the evolution of Christianity shows that the economics of religion has little to do with counting the money in the collection basket and much to do with understanding the background of today’s religious and political divisions. Since religion is a set of organized beliefs, and a church is an organized body of worshipers, it’s natural to use a science that seeks to explain the behavior of organization—economics—to understand the development of organized religion. The Marketplace of Christianity applies the tools
