walking away from everything you have known, this book is for you.
If you've ever felt like your family or your upbringing is holding
you down from all you'd like to be, this book is for you. If you've
ever turned away from God because of how you've seen Christians
sometimes act, this book is for you. If you're tired of the "victim
mentality" that is so prevalent in today's culture, this book is
for you! Claim Your Inheritance is all about making choices and
taking personal responsibility for your life. In this book, Richard
Roberts shares how he overcame the stigma, and often
disappointment, of growing up the son of an internationally known
evangelist, in a family whose values he was convinced he didn't
want to share. So convinced, in fact, that he turned his back and
walked away.

Holloway - a hollow way, a sunken path. A route that centuries of
foot-fall, hoof-hit, wheel-roll and rain-run have harrowed deep
down into bedrock. In July 2005, Robert Macfarlane and Roger Deakin
- author of Wildwood - travelled to explore the holloways of South
Dorset's sandstone. They found their way into a landscape of
shadows, spectres & great strangeness. Six years later, after
Roger Deakin's early death, Robert Macfarlane returned to the
holloway with the artist Stanley Donwood and writer Dan Richards.
The book is about those journeys and that landscape. Moving in the
spaces between social history, psychogeography and travel writing,
Holloway is a beautiful and haunted work of art.

The promotional history of Rolls-Royce motor cars from the
company's beginnings in 1904 to the outbreak of World War II has
been exhaustively researched and documented in these pages. When
Charles Rolls met Henry Royce in May 1904 and drove the Royce car,
he recognised his future partner for the engineering genius he was
- but that was not enough to develop a successful business.
Rolls-Royce needed to establish their reputation in a crowded
field. Claude Johnson, the firm's managing director, was the man
responsible for crafting every aspect of the promotion of the cars
and the company until his death in 1926 and he set a lasting
standard for Rolls-Royce publicity. The story of the constant
battle for recognition on both sides of the Atlantic and the
different approaches used in each market is related, highlighting
the outstanding variety and quality of Rolls-Royce's illustrated
advertising, and how the company used it to attract the most
demanding customers. The many strands of promotion that Rolls-Royce
used are pulled together, from publicity for success in races and
trials, through advertising in important magazines and influential
newspapers, to beautifully produced pamphlets and catalogues. It
shows the unique Rolls-Royce style: publicising independent press
reports and unsolicited testimonials on the quality of the cars,
and detailed explanations of the engineering standards and the
expertise that created that quality. It also goes behind the
scenes, reporting on rare minutes from the Advertising Committee
during the 1930s that reveal the decisions that led to some of the
finest examples of the company's promotional work. This book
promises enthusiasts a feast for the eyes and hours of entertaining
reading.
How adult learners can draw upon skills and knowledge honed over a
lifetime to master a foreign language. Adults who want to learn a
foreign language are often discouraged because they believe they
cannot acquire a language as easily as children. Once they begin to
learn a language, adults may be further discouraged when they find
the methods used to teach children don't seem to work for them.
What is an adult language learner to do? In this book, Richard
Roberts and Roger Kreuz draw on insights from psychology and
cognitive science to show that adults can master a foreign language
if they bring to bear the skills and knowledge they have honed over
a lifetime. Adults shouldn't try to learn as children do; they
should learn like adults. Roberts and Kreuz report evidence that
adults can learn new languages even more easily than children.
Children appear to have only two advantages over adults in learning
a language: they acquire a native accent more easily, and they do
not suffer from self-defeating anxiety about learning a language.
Adults, on the other hand, have the greater advantages-gained from
experience-of an understanding of their own mental processes and
knowing how to use language to do things. Adults have an especially
advantageous grasp of pragmatics, the social use of language, and
Roberts and Kreuz show how to leverage this metalinguistic ability
in learning a new language. Learning a language takes effort. But
if adult learners apply the tools acquired over a lifetime, it can
be enjoyable and rewarding.
