Chinese Section from a Medieval Japanese Collection

£24.50 02 Feb 2012 Hardback Southern Illinois University Press

Former FBI agent Jim Fisher upends the genteel racket of fee-based literary agents and vanity publishers in this look at the rise and fall of one bogus entrepreneur who systematically swindled thousands of would-be writers out of millions of dollars with promises of having their work turned into saleable books. In divulging the details of this colossal and shocking confidence game, Ten Percent of Nothing: The Case of the Literary Agent from Hell exposes a growing and serious crime against writers and a dark, ugly secret about the American publishing industry.

In 1989, Dorothy L. Deering, possessing a high school degree, a recent embezzlement conviction, and no experience as a professional writer, editor, or publisher, began operating a fee-based literary agency out of her garage in Nicholasville, Kentucky. Over the next ten years, she racked up a fortune in reading and marketing fees, learning the business of sham publishing as she went along. Later, as the owner of a vanity press, she bilked 1.5 million dollars out of her clients, masterfully manufacturing dreams of literary success until she was brought to justice by Fisher's investigative journalism, an FBI probe, and the retaliation and testimonies of numerous victims.

Actually, what Deering rarely manufactured were books. In fact, she never sold a single manuscript to a major publisher. With the money in her pocket and her clients' hopes and hard work wrapped up in fraudulent contracts, Deering produced a few copies of four cheaply printed, poorly edited paperbacks. These she used as bait to hoodwink more clients. She was abetted by her husband, Charles, a former car salesman; his son, Daniel, a drug user with a ninth-grade education; and her brother, Bill, a fugitive from the law at the time he headed her vanity press.

By successfully impersonating a literary agent for ten years, Deering operated one of the longest-running confidence games in American history. The financial loss for her clients was devastating and the heartbreak was extreme. Drawing on victims' experiences and documents recovered from the Deering venture, Fisher shows how Deering engineered and executed her scam, emphasizing the warning signs of sham agents, crooked book doctors, and mendacious publishers.

Ten Percent of Nothing provides essential information for aspiring writers and publishing professionals. Fisher's findings also prompt new inquiries into the potential licensing of literary agents and the prosecution of interstate scam artists. The volume's gallery of illustrations includes reproductions of correspondence, newsletters, and advertisements used by the Deering operation.

By Robin Fawcett

£27.99 01 Oct 2011 Paperback Equinox Publishing Ltd

This unique handbook functions as a textbook, a descriptive grammar and a reference work. As a textbook it equips the reader with the concepts, skills and knowledge of probabilities required when analyzing the functional structure of English sentences in both spoken and written texts. It is by far the most comprehensive descriptive grammar of English syntax from the viewpoint of Systemic Functional Linguistics. It covers many aspects of syntax not provided for in other grammars. It also covers the syntax of punctuation, and introduces the concept of 'ancillary grammar'. This book's broad coverage ensures that, as a reference work, it gives guidance on most problems likely to be encountered by students and researchers working on the analysis of text-sentences at intermediate and advanced levels. It includes full syntactic analyses for every type of structure that it describes, and an invaluable 'trouble-shooting' section that is cross-referenced with the main text.

Language and Education

01 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Ruqaiya Hasan

£25.00 01 Sep 2011 Paperback Equinox Publishing Ltd

The last two decades have seen a good deal of work in educational linguistics, which has created a deeper understanding of how language works in different varieties of discourse and what a teacher needs to know for engaging successfully in language education. In this sense, the focus has been largely on instructional discourse - i.e., what is to be taught. The chapters of this book attempt to widen the field by focussing on who is being taught. After all, the true active element in the processes of education is the learner. Children have already acquired specific ways of learning, long before they enter the classroom, and in pluralistic societies learning styles vary systematically across communities. This book argues on the one hand the need to attend to the different voices in the classroom, and on the other to encourage an attitude of enquiry which creates awareness of the power of discourse in maintaining and/or changing societies.

Patent Law in the Supreme Court

25 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Thomas Krause

£110.00 25 Aug 2011 Paperback Oxford University Press Inc

In view of the Supreme Court's heightened interest in patent law, practitioners at all levels are well advised to bear in mind, for each issue in litigation, to what extent the "settled" (or not so settled) Federal Circuit law has gone beyond the baseline set by the Supreme Court, as well as a sense of the extent to which these differences might lead to Supreme Court review of the issue. Patent Law in the Supreme Court comprehensively reviews key Supreme Court decisions, provides Supreme Court and Federal Circuit "State of the Law" analyses, and discusses the many factors (dissents, panel decisions, academic commentary, and so on) that are indicators of "certworthiness" i.e., likelihood of Supreme Court review.

Late Classical and Hellenistic Silver Plate from Macedonia

23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Eleni Zimi

£100.00 23 Jun 2011 Hardback Oxford University Press

This is the first comprehensive and fully illustrated study of silver vessels from ancient Macedonia from the 4th to the 2nd centuries BC. These precious vessels formed part of dining sets owned by the royal family and the elite and have been discovered in the tombs of their owners. Eleni Zimi presents 171 artifacts in a full-length study of form, decoration, inscriptions and manufacturing techniques, set against contemporary comparanda in other media (clay, bronze, glass). She adopts an art historical and sociological approach to the archaeological evidence and demonstrates that the use of silver vessels as an expression of wealth and a status symbol is not only connected with the wealth spread in the empire after Alexander's the Great expedition to the East, but constitutes a practice reflecting the opulence and appreciation for luxury at least in the Macedonian court from the reign of Philip II onwards.

In this second edition of "Reference and Reflexivity," John Perry develops his reflexive-referential theory of indexicals, demonstratives, and proper names and further illuminates the distinction between semantics and pragmatics. Responding to ideas from both the descriptivist and referentialist traditions, Perry reveals the essential truth behind these competing philosophies--a coherent and structured family of contents, from reflexive contents that place conditions on their actual utterance to fully incremental contents that place conditions only on the objects of reference--thus reconciling the legitimate insights of both traditions.

60 Years of Economics According to the New York Times

By Robert Chernomas, Ian Hudson

£60.00 01 May 2011 Hardback Paradigm

"The New York Times" can make a legitimate claim to be the most influential newspaper in the U.S. and possibly the world. Because of its influence, the "Times" has become a central figure in the debate over the direction of bias in the media, with some claiming that it is left-wing or liberal and others arguing that it is right-wing or conservative. But the liberal-conservation media debate is very misleading. "The Gatekeeper" argues that the "Times" can more accurately be characterized as supporting long run profitability for U.S. business, which involves both liberal and conservative policies in different contexts. Through a thorough examination of the "Times'" star commentators and its coverage of the issues of macroeconomics, regulation, foreign policy and the 2008-2009 economic crisis, "The Gatekeeper" refocuses the debate about the bias of the most venerable institution in U.S. journalism.

This collection of essays shows how letters nimbly traverse the boundaries between the public and the private and examines the many roles of correspondence, from the domestic to the global. Contributors discuss a variety of engrossing subjects: documents of early exploration and diplomacy, including Columbus's texts and Amerigo Vespucci's reports of his experiences in America; the surprisingly large role that letters played in the success of the Jesuit order in the seventeenth century; English letter-writing manuals that provide model letters to be imitated while offering a vivid view into a cross section of lived experience; epistolary travel writings; and letter-writing instruction in nineteenth-century America, among other topics.
