Australian languages form a large genetic group with many interesting and distinctive phonological and morphological properties. Written by two experts in the field, this is the first book-length treatment of this topic, providing an in-depth discussion of a wealth of little-known data on the sound systems and word structures of Australian Indigenous languages. It includes a critical evaluation of theoretical approaches from the 1950s up to the current day, including recent experimental, psycholinguistic and processing-based research. Each chapter addresses a major aspect of phonology, including the segmental inventories, complex phonotactic systems, alternations, prosodic phonology and morphology, the behaviour of phonological domains, and the unusual nature of sound change in Australia. The authors also add to this their own groundbreaking findings, and frame each chapter to inform future phonological research and theory. It is essential reading for scholars and students in phonology, phonetics, speech science, morphology, and language typology.

Drinking Water: A Socio-economic Analysis of Historical and Societal Variation

In this fascinating and challenging work, the author analyses the way water for drinking is produced, distributed, owned, acquired, and consumed in contrasting ways in different settings. From the taken-for-granted, all-purpose water, flowing out of taps in advanced economies to extreme inequalities of access to water of variable qualities, drinking water tells its own interesting story, but also reflects some of the centrally important characteristics of the state and economies of the different countries. From sparkling mineral water in Germany, to drinking water garages in Taiwan, from water tankers in Mexico City to street vendors in Delhi markets, comparisons are made to stretch our understanding of what we mean by ‘an economy’, quality, and property rights, of water. In addition, the study of socio-economics of drinking water provides a route into understanding interactions between polity, economy and nature. One of the major themes of the book is to analyse the ‘sociogenic’ nature of sustainability crises of economies of water in their environmental settings: epidemics, droughts, pollution, land subsidences and floods. Overall it develops an economic sociology, neo-Polanyian approach in a comparative and historical exploration of water for domestic consumption.

Have you ever wondered why Bible prophecy is so confusing? There is a simple answer to that question. Having begun with a basic scriptural truth, many prophecy ‘experts’ proceed to fill in the details from their own logic. By changing a word here and an interpretation there, they force the scriptures to agree with them. It never quite works, however, because the entire volume of scriptures weighs in against them. In “The Two Dumbest Mistakes Most Pre-tribbers Make” a different tactic is applied. Using the fascinating and thrilling Bible prophecies for the last days of history, this book demonstrates the absolute reliability of the true Words of God on a word by word basis. We discover that simply believing EVERY word of God is pure and purposeful and necessary forces us to fit our doctrine to His doctrine. This approach has exposed the foolishness and deception of much of the future prophecy we hear and read today. It turns out that Bible prophecy is not at all difficult or obtuse. In fact, if we use the Bible’s own internal methodology for discovering doctrinal truth, we find a straightforward and carefully chronological accounting of time in the book of the Revelation. Also, many currently garbled and confused prophecies jump right off the pages in exquisite simplicity. As you consider purchasing this book, ponder this rhetorical question posed by the Lord Jesus Himself 2000 years ago. “when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” Put the emphasis on any word you want to. It is sobering. It is poignant. In this book, we will find that the time remaining until the Son of man cometh is short, shockingly short. And, we will see there are conditions we must meet to avoid being chastened through entering the tribulation. It's time to get right or get left!

This book arose out of a friendship between a political philosopher and an economic sociologist, and their recognition of an urgent political need to address the extreme inequalities of wealth and power in contemporary societies. It provides a new analysis of what generates inequalities in rights to income, property and public goods in contemporary societies. By critiquing Marx's foundational theory of exploitation, it moves beyond Marx, both in its analysis of inequality, and in its concept of just distribution. It points to the major historical transformations that create educational and knowledge inequalities, inequalities in rights to public goods that combine with those to private wealth. It argues that asymmetries of economic power are inherently gendered and racialized, and that forms of coercion and slavery are deeply embedded in the histories of capitalism.

Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: It appears the day spoken of in this verse is close. Very close. And there are things you must know before it gets here. This book was written to get you up to speed on the issue of the rapture of the Church. This book was also written to contest the currently most popular but questionable rapture theories. The real truth is in the Book of Truth, but lots of what is currently being taught is not. Elijah is probably walking among us right now, but he has a different name and probably doesn't even know who he is. It was that way when he came as John the Baptist. But he will burst on the scene when the time is right with all the information we need, probably including a date for that great and dreadful day. Unfortunately, our religious leadership has conditioned us not to accept his warnings. This book will help you recognize him and understand his message. If you purchase this book be prepared to check your preconceived notions at the front cover. Then you should check your man-contrived systematic theologies at the title page. Finally, check your comfortable but confusing denominational preferences at the table of contents. Those are all the things that have caused the confusion we find in this doctrine in the first place. In this book we are going to read our Bible and just accept what it says. We will just let the Word of God speak frankly to the Bride of Christ .1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

So, What's the Deal with the Rapture?

In addition to being the most bitter industrial dispute the coal miners' strike of 1984/5 was the longest national strike in British history. For a year over 100,000 members of the National Union of Mineworkers, their families and supporters, in hundreds of communities, battled to prevent the decimation of the coal industry on which their livelihoods and communities depended. Margaret Thatcher's government aimed to smash the most militant section of the British working class. She wanted to usher in a new era of greater management control at work and pave the way for a radical refashioning of society in favor of neo-liberal objectives that three decades later have crippled the world economy.Victory required draconian restrictions on picketing and the development of a militarized national police force that made widespread arrests as part of its criminalization policy. The attacks on the miners also involved the use of the courts and anti-trade union laws, restrictions on welfare benefits, the secret financing by industrialists of working miners and the involvement of the security services. All of which was supported by a compliant mass media but resisted by the collective courage of miners and mining communities in which the role of Women against Pit Closures in combating poverty and starvation was heroic. Thus inspired by the struggle for jobs and communities an unparalleled movement of support groups right across Britain and in other parts of the world was born and helped bring about a situation where the miners long struggle came close on occasions to winning.At the heart of the conflict was the Yorkshire region, where even at the end in March 1985, 83 per cent of 56,000 miners were still out on strike. The official Yorkshire National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) area photographer in 1984-85 was the late Martin Jenkinson and this book of his photographs – some never previously seen before - serves as a unique social document on the dispute that changed the face of Britain.
