Los Angeles trucker Phil Beddoe (Clint Eastwood) is less than
delighted to win orangutan Clyde in a fight. Together, the unlikely
twosome set out to track down Phil's lost love, a country and
western singer (Sandra Locke). Along the way they get involved in
various brawls and escapades. 2. Sequel to 'Every Which Way But
Loose', in which trucker come street-fighter Philo Beddoe (Clint
Eastwood) once more hits the road looking for a well-paid brawl.
The purse this time round is offered by an underworld king, whose
boxing champion has gained such a reputation that no-one dare face
him. Philo, however, knows no fear and can always rely on the
back-up of his trusty orang-utan sidekick, Clyde.
This is the first published edition of John Sinclair, Susan Jones
and Robert Daley's research on collocation undertaken in 1970. The
unpublished report was circulated amongst a small group of
academics and was enormously influential, sparking a growth of
interest in collocation amongst researchers in linguistics.
Collocation was first viewed as important in computational
linguistics in the work of Harold Palmer in Japan. Later M.A.K.
Halliday and John Sinclair published on collocation in the 1960s.
English Collocation Studies is a report on empirical research into
collocation, devised by Halliday with Sinclair acting as the
Principal Investigator and editor of the resultant OSTI report. The
present edition contains an introduction by Professor Wolfgang
Teubert based on his interview with John Sinclair. The introduction
assesses the extent to which the findings of the original research
have developed in the intervening years, and how some of the
techniques mentioned in the report were implemented in the COBUILD
project at Birmingham University in the 1980s.
As the result of recent changes in the research landscape,
researchers are now commonly required to do more than just
research. For example, they are often expected to take
responsibility for post-research activities, including engagement
with government, business, and the public. To meet these
expectations, an array of skills is required, including
communication, networking, leadership, and the management of
stakeholders. The need to develop such skills in researchers
presents a challenge to those responsible for their development.
These include researcher developers, principal investigators,
research supervisors, staff developers, careers professionals,
research office staff, and research centre managers. These
developers face additional demands from the need to help
researchers develop their careers and employability. 53 solutions,
each tested in practice, for meeting these challenges are presented
here, accompanied by practical advice on their implementation and
the potential pitfalls involved.This book's 45 contributors provide
practical strategies, drawn from experience across several
continents, to enhance the practices and policies of researcher
development. Designed for dipping into, the book enables researcher
developers, supervisors and academic developers to: enrich their
approaches; innovate to enhance and embed educational value; and do
more with limited resources.
Writing On The Edge is a trip through various worlds I came to know
in depth from the inside: pro football, grand prix racing, French
wine, bullfighting, The New York Times, opera, treasure diving, NY
police headquarters, Hollywood, and, of course, France. These
worlds are portrayed as I knew them, together with some of their
major players with whom I became involved. So it's a memoir
certainly, but it's also a primer for freelance writers: how to
make a living at a tough trade-how I did it anyway. I had many
successes and became what counts as a rich writer (meaning not very
rich.) But there were many downs too- rejections, humiliations, and
even lawsuits-but fewer of these as I learned to protect myself. A
freelance writer is unemployed each time he finishes a contract.
Where will next assignment come from? There is a certain amount of
fear in any freelance life, and in this book too. My career brought
big fees and fancy places, but not always. Not nearly.
