"Longshot" by Dick Francis [UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK WITH TEXT] John Kendall's travel guides should have prepared him for harsh terrains. Yet he finds that the perils described in his survival manuals pale next to the dangers he faces in rural England, where he is writing a book about a racehorse trainer. Kendall should have heeded his agent's warning: "Impulse will kill you one of these days." But he didn't -- not by a longshot! Narrated by David Case
Becky and Zach are cousins chatting via the internet. Becky has some words of wisdom for Zach because, as we all know, "the internet is full of strangers". She points out to Zach that he should never give out personal information to anyone he doesn't know, that he should not open e-mails from strangers and not download stuff without permission, and that anyone can pretend that they are a kid having fun on the internet. This instructional book is aimed at children rather than adults (but adults can use it, too!). A teacher's guide with worksheets is included.

Prototypical Transitivity (Typological Studies in Language)
This book presents a functional analysis of a notion which has gained considerable importance in cognitive and functional linguistics over the last couple of decades, namely 'prototypical transitivity'. It discusses what prototypical transitivity is, why it should exist, and how it should be defined, as well as how this definition can be employed in the analysis of a number of phenomena of language, such as case-marking, experiencer constructions, and so-called ambitransitives. Also discussed is how a prototype analysis relates to other approaches to transitivity, such as that based on markedness.
