The Routledge Handbook of Corpus Linguistics 2e provides an updated overview of a dynamic and rapidly growing area with a widely applied methodology. Over a decade on from the first edition of the Handbook, this collection of 47 chapters from experts in key areas offers a comprehensive introduction to both the development and use of corpora as well as their ever-evolving applications to other areas, such as digital humanities, sociolinguistics, stylistics, translation studies, materials design, language teaching and teacher development, media discourse, discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, second language acquisition and testing. The new edition updates all core chapters and includes new chapters on corpus linguistics and statistics, digital humanities, translation, phonetics and phonology, second language acquisition, social media and theoretical perspectives. Chapters provide annotated further reading lists and step-by-step guides as well as detailed overviews across a wide range of themes. The Handbook also includes a wealth of case studies that draw on some of the many new corpora and corpus tools that have emerged in the last decade. Organised across four themes, moving from the basic start-up topics such as corpus building and design to analysis, application and reflection, this second edition remains a crucial point of reference for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and scholars in applied linguistics.

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is one of several new experimental tech niques which have rec{, tly been applied to food systems. NMR in general and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging are powerful probes of the microscopic and macroscopic changes occurring in foods during processing, storage and utilization. The training that food scientists and food engineers have received in the past has often omitted specific courses in physical chemistry that form the theoretical and practical foundation necessary to fully utilized magnetic resonance experimental techniques. The goal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Foods is to introduce food scien tists and food engineers to magnetic resonance imaging and provide a basis for further study. As such the book begins with two chapters of an introductory nature. The first chapter introduces magnetic resonance phenomena, NMR in general, and MRI in detail. Particular emphasis is given to the limitations and typical ranges available for studying particular phenomena, for example, the range of diffusivities that can be studied using commercial grade NMR equipment. Chapter 2 gives a brief introduction to the classical physical model of NMR first introduced by Felix Bloch in 1946 and aspects important to the interpretation of MRI data. This chapter is provided for the researchers and students interested in more details of the basic theory. Chapter 2 can be skipped by those individuals not requiring more information on the basic theory of NMR. The next several chapters of the book are on applications of MRI to food systems."

Historical fiction; family saga. A two volume book covering the lives of James Winship and his children in England and Ireland during the turbulent struggle for Irish independence, from 1852 to 1923. In Volume I, James Winship's life is chronicled from his early days, as an adopted Irish-born son of an Anglo-Irish lord in County Cork, Ireland, to his steady rise as a decorated war hero in British India and, ultimately, his succession to Charles Stewart Parnell, as leader of the Irish party in the House of Commons in the late 1890s. Volume II covers the life of his children: his son in British India and World War I, and his daughter in New York City, England, and Ireland. Volume I was first published in 1995 but was rewritten by the author in 2012. Volume II will be available in spring 2013.

This research paper explores the history of US security cooperation programs in Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, from 1993 to the present, identifying five distinct phases of development as those programs sought to achieve US objectives in denuclearization and proliferation prevention, democratization and military reform, regional cooperation, and improving military capabilities. The author elaborates on the limiting factors, successes, and a failure associated with those efforts and then makes recommendations for the future of US security cooperation in Central Asia in the future.

Against the backdrop of the Irish independence movement, Book Three, Independence, the final book in the trilogy, The Winship Family, continues the lives of James and Emily Winship, Cornelia, now Viscountess Leadon, William and Anne Winship, Brendan and Sean Kenny, and Wilton and Ivor Sudbury. Book Three finishes with the drama surrounding the 1921 treaty between Great Britain and Ireland, the ensuing Irish civil war, the murder of Michael Collins, and the death, in 1938, of James Winship. Included in this book are British parliamentary leaders, Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, H.H. Asquith, and Irish political leaders Eamon de Valera, Michael Collins, John Redmond, and John Dillon.

Against the backdrop of the Irish independence movement, Book Two of the three-volume family saga, The Winship Family, continues the lives of James Winship and his two children, William and Cornelia, and the scheming Marquess of Gortin and his revenge-laden Sudbury family. James recovers from another family tragedy, returns to the political arena, rising to a cabinet position in the British Liberal party, and enters into an affair with the fashionable political hostess, Lady Emily Winslowe; William becomes a a British Indian army officer, battling tribesmen and a trumped-up court martial; Cornelia encounters life-changing complications as a glittering debutante in a dramatic London Social Season; and the Sudburys, grandfather, father, and son, together weave webs of harmful intrigue against the Winships. Included in this Anglo-Irish historical novel are actual parliamentary leaders, like Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, H.H.Asquith, Arthur Balfour, and the Irish party leaders John Dillon and Timothy Healy.
