Its 1943 and the war continues on in Ambridge. But the minds of the
villagers are focused a little closer to home… For many
centuries, a local tradition has told of a mystic living in a
hermit’s cave just outside the village. Legend tells that she has
hidden her prophecies around the area, but none have ever been
found. When a visiting academic arrives in Ambridge, there for war
work, but personally intrigued by the prophecies, he becomes
determined to find out more. And as the prophesies are uncovered,
it appears the mystic knows more than anyone could have predicted
– and when they become personal and foretell the death of a local
Ambridgian, the village is united in surprise. Meanwhile, the war
will end and some will come home – and some never will. And those
who do will find that life in Ambridge has been changed…. Â

Filling a gap in the literature currently available on the topic,
this edited collection is the first examination of the interplay
between urbanization, language variation and language change in
fifteen major Arab cities. The Arab world presents very different
types and degrees of urbanization, from well established old
capital-cities such as Cairo to new emerging capital-cities such as
Amman or Nouakchott, these in turn embedded in different types of
national construction. It is these urban settings which raise
questions concerning the dynamics of homogenization/differentiation
and the processes of standardization due to the coexistence of
competing linguistic models. Topics investigated include: History
of settlement The linguistic impact of migration The emergence of
new urban vernaculars Dialect convergence and divergence
Code-switching, youth language and new urban culture Arabic in the
Diaspora Arabic among non-Arab groups. Containing a broad selection
of case studies from across the Arab world and featuring
contributions from leading urban sociolinguistics and
dialectologists, this book presents a fresh approach to our
understanding of the interaction between language, society and
space. As such, the book will appeal to the linguist as well as to
the social scientist in general.

Healthy, well-performing pensions are possible. It's time for a
modern, transformational approach to the future pension market: one
in which there is an agreement about what will mitigate risk and
keep our people, our organizations, and our global society safe and
secure. Pension Clarity shows you how to address insufficiencies
and opportunities in pension planning for the future, and how to
build effective, secure, and reliable pension plans that mitigate
risk. You'll learn how to design pensions for financial security,
how to assess existing benefit plans to minimize costs and maximize
value, how to create pension plans that are designed to benefit
individuals, and how to engage employees in the pension process.
You'll also find out how to build responsiveness into your business
environment by embracing new solutions that empower executives with
up-to-date information and projections. The fact is, pension
management is not only about one business and one set of employees,
but also about how we manage the steps we take towards the future.
In an ever-evolving world, we can make a difference through
strategic pension management. But actualizing the future we want to
see depends wholly on our ability to lead.
