Best-selling Tolkien expert Brian Sibley (The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy and The Lord of the Rings Official Movie Guide) presents a slipcased collection of four full-color, large-format maps of Tolkien's imaginary realm illustrated by John Howe, a conceptual designer for the blockbuster films directed by Peter Jackson. The set includes a hardcover book describing in detail the importance and evolution of geography within Tolkien's epic fiction and four color maps presented with minimal folds, including two (Beleriand and Númenor) never before published in this country.

Called "a masterpiece" by The Guardian, this courageous and honest trilogy from Tove Ditlevsen, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing, explores themes of family, sex, motherhood, abortion, addiction, and being an artist. This single-volume hardcover contains all three volumes of her memoirs
Tove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in twentieth-century Danish literature, and The Copenhagen Trilogy (1969–71) is her acknowledged masterpiece. Childhood tells the story of a misfit child’s single-minded determination to become a poet; Youth describes her early experiences of sex, work, and independence. Dependency picks up the story as the narrator embarks on the first of her four marriages and goes on to describe her horrible descent into drug addiction, enabled by her sinister, gaslighting doctor-husband.
Throughout, the narrator grapples with the tension between her vocation as a writer and her competing roles as daughter, wife, mother, and drug addict, and she writes about female experience and identity in a way that feels very fresh and pertinent to today’s discussions around feminism. Ditlevsen’s trilogy is remarkable for its intensity and its immersive depiction of a world of complex female friendships, family and growing up―in this sense, it’s Copenhagen's answer to Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels. She can also be seen as a spiritual forerunner of confessional writers like Karl Ove Knausgaard, Annie Ernaux, Rachel Cusk and Deborah Levy. Her trilogy is drawn from her own experiences but reads like the most compelling kind of fiction.
Born in a working-class neighborhood in Copenhagen in 1917, Ditlevsen became famous for her poetry while still a teenager, and went on to write novels, stories and memoirs before committing suicide in 1976. Having been dismissed by the critical establishment in her lifetime as a working-class, female writer, she is now being rediscovered and championed as one of Denmark's most important modern authors, with "Tove fever" gripping readers.

★恐怖小说大师托马斯·里戈蒂成名作
爱伦·坡、洛夫克拉夫特之后，惊人黑暗想象力之重现
★编辑推荐
◎ 托马斯·里戈蒂，布拉姆·斯托克终身成就奖、奇幻奖、国际恐怖文学协会奖得主，当今最为杰出的超自然恐怖小说家，是为数不多生前作品即已收入“企鹅经典”丛书的作者。
◎ 《 死梦者之歌与阴郁的抄写员》，汇集奠定里戈蒂在恐怖小说界一流作者地位的两部短篇集，全方位展现作者恐怖小说写作的精妙笔触。译自“企鹅经典”丛书新版，主要评论刊物《纽约时报书评》《华盛顿邮报》《纽约客》等盛赞。
◎ 小说曾被多次改编为影视、漫画等，对音乐及亚文化圈也有深刻影响。2014 年火爆网络的美剧《真探》，主角的部分台词被指源自里戈蒂的小说，编剧尼克·皮佐拉托后坦陈深受里戈蒂影响，无怪乎该剧和里戈蒂的小说基调极为相似。
★内容简介
《死梦者之歌与阴郁的抄写员》，汇集了处女作小说集《死梦者之歌》（1986）和之后的《阴郁的抄写员》（1991），是作者恐怖小说的成名作，因其独特风格超出了类型小说的范畴，有论者称之为“超自然恐怖”“哲学恐怖”。小说多描写隐藏在我们生活中隐秘的事，通过一些古怪的事件，试图重新审视现代社会，探究其中的薄弱之处，给我们探究生活内涵的别样目光。比如第一篇《欢闹》，场景设定在晚上戴维·芒克医生家的客厅，他刚到诺尔盖特小镇监狱任职，他和妻子莱斯莉闲聊一个病人某约翰，这个病人做小男孩模样的工艺品。

Product Description
Since its first publication in 1991 Liliane Haegeman's Introduction to Government and Binding Theory has become established as the most authoritative introduction to the Principles and Parameters approach to syntactic theory. This new edition has been extensively updated throughout. Major structural changes include new chapters on Functional Heads and Head Movement and on Relativized Minimality. Discussions of a number of topics missing from or not paid due attention in the first edition have been integrated or expanded, for example: the structure of small clauses (in chaprer 2), chain formation (in chapter 6), and reconstruction, multiple movement, wh-absorption, Full Interpretation, and expletive replacement (in chapter 9). The copious exercises have been revised to increase potential for creativty and flexibility of approach. New exericases highlight further controversial issues. In short, this book offers a complete, updated introduction to the current state of Government and Binding Theory, suitable for readers with some basic knowledge of generative linguistics.

Thinking Syntactically: A Guide to Argumentation and Analysis is a textbook designed to teach introductory students the skills of relating data to theory and theory to data. * Helps students develop their thinking and argumentation skills rather than merely introducing them to one particular version of syntactic theory. * Structured around a wide range of exercises that use clear and compelling logic to build arguments and lead up to theoretical proposals. * Data drawn from current media sources, including newspapers, books, and television programs, to help students formulate and test hypotheses. * Generative in spirit, but does not focus on specific theoretical approaches but enables students to understand and evaluate different approaches more easily. * Written by an established author with an international reputation.

An important new text on phonetics which is studied on the majority of linguistic undergraduate degree courses. Also relevant for speech pathology courses and for students of English as a second language. 'The Sounds of Language' provides an accessible, general introduction to phonetics with a special emphasis on English. Phonetics is the study of sounds used in language: how the sounds are produced, how they are transferred from the speaker to the hearer and how they are heard and perceived.

This textbook helps undergraduate students of language and linguistics taking their first steps in one of the core areas of grammar, introducing them to the basic ideas, insights, and techniques of contemporary semantic theory. Requiring no special background knowledge, the book starts with everyday observations about word meaning and useand then hightlights the role of structure in the analysis of the meanings of phrases and clauses, zooming in on the fascinating and vexing question of how speakers manage to meaningfully communicate with sentences and texts they have never come across before. At the same time, the reader becomes acquainted with the modern, functionalist characterization of linguistic meaning in terms of reference (extension) and information (intension), and learns to apply technical tools from formal logic to analyzing the meaning of complex linguistic expressions as being composed by the meanings of their parts. Each of the nine main chapters contains a variety of exercises for self-study and classroom use, with model solutions in the appendix. Extensive English examples provide ample illustration.

This volume, Grice's first book, includes the long-delayed publication of his enormously influential 1967 William James Lectures. But there is much, much more in this work. Paul Grice himself has carefully arranged and framed the sequence of essays to emphasize not a certain set of ideas but a habit of mind, a style of philosophizing. Grice has, to be sure, provided philosophy with crucial ideas. His account of speaker-meaning is the standard that others use to define their own minor divergences or future elaborations. His discussion of conversational implicatures has given philosophers an important tool for the investigation of all sorts of problems; it has also laid the foundation for a great deal of work by other philosophers and linguists about presupposition. His metaphysical defense of absolute values is starting to be considered the beginning of a new phase in philosophy. This is a vital book for all who are interested in Anglo-American philosophy.

★ 比肩《忧郁的热带》，击败时间的民族志书写
★ 作者师从法国国宝级人类学家克洛德·列维-斯特劳斯
★ 美国当代小说大师保罗·奥斯特翻译本书英文版并作序推荐
我相信，你简直无法不爱上这本书。
作者写作时的慎重与耐心，观察之犀利，其中的幽默，思维之严谨与书中的悲悯——这些 品质相得益彰，共同造就了这部重要又令人难忘的著作。这是一个人经历的真实故事，提出的都是最根本性的问题：一个人类学家是如何得知信息的，两种文化之间会进行什么样的交易，人们会在什么样的情况下保守秘密？
在为我们刻画这个未知的文明时，克拉斯特的写作带着优秀小说家的狡黠。他对细节的关注一丝不苟、无比精确；而他那种将自己的思想融汇为胆大又自洽的论点的能力往往令人称奇。他是那种极为少见的、毫不犹豫就采取第一人称写作的学者，而最终的成果不仅仅是一幅他所研究的民族的肖像，也是一幅他本人的自画像。

--------------------------------------
与南美丛林中最后的食人部落一同生活，见证出生、成年、婚配、死亡、节日、祭祀……
浸入瓜亚基人的生活与头脑，真挚发问：
人类能不能放弃追求一切，告别惶惶不可终日，
拒绝屈服权力，也拒绝过度生产，更从容、自由、坚定地生活，摆脱外部世界的束缚？
--------------------------------------
瓜亚基人，一群生活在巴拉圭密林中的印第安人。他们以打猎、采集为生，有自己的语言、风俗与社会制度。16世纪起，西方殖民者和当地居民一道，不断占领、吞食他们生活的领地，他们躲避、抗争、流亡、被“安置”……到了20世纪60年代末，这个部落的人口已不足三十。
1963年，本书作者、法国人类学家皮埃尔·克拉斯特在瓜亚基人被安置于定居点后进入了这个部落，与他们一同生活，对他们在生育、死亡、饮食、求偶、部落管理、性向认同、劳动分工等方面进行了细致入微的观察和书写。
在书中，克拉斯特直面瓜亚基人的残忍、习俗之状况，以及他们缓慢的衰亡。这是一种充满人情味的民族志书写，情感充溢全篇：克拉斯特于瓜亚基人一同经历了生育、成年、死亡与逃亡；它也是一种客观的民族志，摈弃了一切道德偏见：面对瓜亚基人的吃人风俗，卡拉斯特并没有止步于猎奇与惊叹，而给予他们最大程度的理解。
法国著名哲学家吉尔·德勒兹面对这部作品，感叹道：“这本奇妙的著作标志了一种新型民族学的开端：它富于感性、积极于行动，又充满政治性；它是‘种族大屠杀’一词彻底的对立面。”
