The strong development in research on grammatical number in recent years has created a need for a unified perspective. The different frameworks, the ramifications of the theoretical questions, and the diversity of phenomena across typological systems, make this a significant challenge. This book addresses the challenge with a series of in-depth analyses of number across a typologically diverse sample, unified by a common set of descriptive and analytic questions from a semantic, morphological, syntactic, and discourse perspective. Each case study is devoted to a single language, or in a few cases to a language group. They are written by specialists who can rely on first-hand data or on material of difficult access, and can place the phenomena in the context of the respective system. The studies are preceded and concluded by critical overviews which frame the discussion and identify the main results and open questions. With specialist chapters breaking new ground, this book will help number specialists relate their results to other theoretical and empirical domains, and it will provide a reliable guide to all linguists and other researchers interested in number.

Of the many Cold War radio DJs who broadcast to the USSR, Seva Novgorodsev must be near the top of the list. A masterful BBC presenter, Seva was considered a sage of rock ‘n’ roll. His programs introduced forbidden western popular music and culture into the USSR, rendering him an “enemy voice� and ideological saboteur to the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Despite KGB threats and constant media pillorying, Seva remained on the air for 38 years, acquiring millions of listeners all across the breadth of the USSR and beyond. He became a cult phenomenon, dismantling the Soviet way of life in the hearts and minds of youth. This is the story of Russia’s first and best-known DJ.

Following on from the 2017 House 1 project, a public architectural intervention in Zurich, ALICE's teaching programme and the All About Space series enter the realm of urban and suburban space. The series' latest volume Beyond the Object: The Imagination of Space proposes an alternative idea and cultural history of architecture that is derived from the notion of spatial design rather than that of technical objects and constructions. Thus current topics like urban planning, the correlation of public and private spaces, social and economic development are wrapped up into more general questions: What are our common and scientific understandings of space and spatial correlations and how can they apply to contemporary architectural practice and education? The underlying narrative of Beyond the Object: The Imagination of Space is loosely tied to the exemplary urban context of Zurich. Yet it addresses the topic with decidedly global scope. And like the previous books The Invention of Space and House 1 Catalogue, the new volume combines fact with fiction to broaden the view upon future scenarios.

The Gate Restaurant serves up a unique brand of vegetarian food, combining ingredients from all over the world to create highly flavoured dishes that look and taste good enough to grace any dinner party table. In this book, the Gate's chef-proprietors Adrian and Michael Daniel introduce their simplest recipes, each one being made using just a few accessible ingredients. For instance, there are Italian polenta chips, Eastern European blinis, Middle Eastern tabbouleh, Indian bhel poori, and Asian rice paper spring rolls. There are lots of fusion dishes too, such as grilled aubergine with lemon grass salsa, flatbread pizzas, and butternut squash and cauliflower samosas. The influences are mainly Mediterranean, Pacific Rim, and international ethnic, but none are stronger than the Indo-Iraqi Jewish traditions of the brothers' own grandmother.
