"This beguiling brew of fascinating scientific facts and
illuminating, poignant anecdotes makes Five Quarts something like
blood itself: vital and pulsing with energy."
-Entertainment Weekly
From ancient Rome, where gladiators drank the blood of vanquished
foes to gain strength and courage, to modern-day laboratories,
where machines test blood for diseases and scientists search for
elusive cures, Bill Hayes takes us on a whirlwind journey through
history, literature, mythology, and science by way of the great red
river that runs five quarts strong through our bodies. Hayes also
recounts the impact of the vital fluid in his daily life, from
growing up in a household of five sisters and their monthly cycles
to his enduring partnership with an HIV-positive man. As much a
biography of blood as it is a memoir of how this rich substance has
shaped one man's life, Five Quarts is by turns whimsical and
provocative, informative and moving.
"Linguistics: An Introduction to Linguistic Theory" is a textbook,
written for introductory courses in linguistic theory for
undergraduate linguistics majors and first-year graduate students.
Twelve major figures in the field bring their expertise to each of
the core areas of the field - morphology, syntax, semantics,
phonetics, phonology, and language acquisition.
In each section the book is concerned with discussing the
underlying principles common to all languages, showing how these
are revealed in language acquisition and in the specific grammars
of the world's languages. Theoretical concepts are introduced
through the analysis of a wide set of language data from Arabic to
Zulu. The student will learn how to "do" linguistics by working
through real linguistic data. Each section explains how to define
and solve a problem; organizes the data into paradigms revealing
the structured patterns in the data; formulates generalizations
based on these patterns; proposes rules or principles to account
for the generalization; seeks independent evidence in its argument
for the proposed theoretical construct.
The book brings the latest developments in theoretical
linguistics to bear in its discussion of the traditional issues. It
covers these subjects in greater depth than is found in most
introductory texts permitting the student to proceed directly,
after using this text, to graduate courses in the field. It
contains problems, a glossary, and a bibliography for further
reading.

field for those who are coming to it for the first time. Developed
and tested through years of experience and use, it emphasizes
analysis of phonological data as well as the scientific context in
which phonological analysis takes place. Hayes explains the
analytical methods clearly as well as discussing the larger
questions of what phonological patterns reveal about
language.
The book includes numerous student-friendly features, including
multi-part exercises and suggestions for further reading. The
chapters include annotated bibliographies with reference sources,
which will help both instructors and students increase their depth
of knowledge of the theories and languages covered. Accessibly and
succinctly written by a renowned phonologist, this volume is an
ideal first course book in phonology.
