In Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, John Wei brings light to the germination and movements of queer cultures and social…
practices in today’s China and Sinophone Asia. While many scholars attribute China’s emergent queer cultures to the neoliberal turn and the global political landscape, Wei refuses to take these assumptions for granted. He finds that the values and pitfalls of the development-induced mobilities and post-development syndromes have conjointly structured and sustained people’s ongoing longings and sufferings under the dual pressure of compulsory familism and compulsory development. While young gay men are increasingly mobilized in their decision-making to pursue sociocultural and socioeconomic capital to afford a queer life, the ubiquitous and compulsory mobilities have significantly reshaped and redefined today’s queer kinship structure, transnational cultural network, and social stratification in China and capitalist Asia. With Queer Chinese Cultures and Mobilities, Wei interrogates the meanings and functions of mobilities at the forefront of China’s internal transformation and international expansion for its great dream of revival, when gender and sexuality have become increasingly mobilized with geographical, cultural, and social class migrations and mobilizations beyond traditional and conventional frameworks, categories, and boundaries.

Law and crime
Most Evil II is Steve Hodel's follow-up investigation (2009-2015) into his father's potential murders and introduces new evidence and additional…
linkage obtained by him over the past six years. Included in that evidence, is the solving of the Zodiac's forty-five year cryptic cipher, which gives us the answer to the question asked in Most Evil, "Were Black Dahlia Avenger and Zodiac the same serial killer?" The solution of that cipher provides us with the name of San Francisco's most infamous serial killer. However, it is not presented as just another "theory" from some armchair detective, or even from the author himself, a highly respected, veteran LAPD homicide detective. Rather, the solution comes from the killer's own mouth, written in his own hand--it is Zodiac's personally signed confession!

Franciscu. Do Itálie se dostal když mu bylo něco málo přes dvacet let a bylo to právě osudové setkání, které rozhodlo o tom, že komisař tu zůstal už navždy. Castelli Romani, které se nacházejí v provincii jižně od Říma, poslouží jako pozadí pro oba dva případy, během kterých bude podrobena těžké zkoušce Germanova a jeho mužů vyšetřovací bystrost. Jedná se o případ rozhodčího a jeho "postavení mimo hru" a případ zmizelé dívky.

This volume is the completely reset Second Edition of Jeanne Marie Neumann's A College Companion (Focus, 2008). It offers a…
running exposition, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H. Ørberg's Familia Romana, and includes the complete text of the Ørberg ancillaries Grammatica Latina and Latin–English Vocabulary. It also serves as a substitute for Ørberg's Latine Disco, on which it is based. As it includes no exercises, however, it is not a substitute for the Ørberg ancillary Exercitia Latina I. Though designed especially for those approaching Familia Romana at an accelerated pace, this volume will be useful to anyone seeking an explicit layout of Familia Romana's inductively-presented grammar. In addition to many revisions of the text, the Second Edition also includes new units on cultural context, tied to the narrative content of the chapter.

The year 1962 marks the tercentenary of the birth of Richard Bentley (1662-1742), Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, editor of…
Paradise Lost, but principally and justly famous as one of the greatest classical scholars. To mark the event, the University of Toronto Press is issuing a special reprint of Alexander Dyce's edition of the Epistola (1691), the work which first brought Bentley fame, and which has long been out of print.This Latin exercise was called forth by one of those unhappy productions which, mediocre themselves, have had the ill luck to attract the inspection of genius. In the eighth or ninth century A.D., Joannes Malelas of Antioch, a Greek writer, attempted a chronological record of mankind and in it he had recourse to name or quote from classical works no longer extant. English scholars in the seventeenth century prepared a translation of the chronicle into Latin and an accompanying commentary; just before its publication, under the final editorship of John Mill, Bentley was given an opportunity to read proof-sheets and the result was the Epistola, a collection mainly of some twenty-five notes upon statements found in or topics suggested by Malelas. This extraordinary performance by a scholar of 29 moves from one topic to another over a wide range of ancient literature, explaining or correcting some sixty Greek and Latin authors. The notes are not so much a commentary on the old chronicler as a set of dazzling dissertations pegged upon a random set of appalling howlers, and they reveal prodigious information and gift of divination. Bentley's style in Latin is clear and spirited and seasoned with choice of quotation. The Epistola immediately secured for its writer the fame reserved for men of the rarest excellence and this classic among academic productions is still charged with power to instruct and inspire the scholarship of another era.

kterými se setkáme, když budeme sledovat dobrodružství Petra a Pamely. Na řádcích tohoto příběhu je budeme doprovázet na fantastické cestě na místo i při návratu z něj zpět, místo, které si každý z nás vytvořil ve své vlastní mysli, díky své vlastní víře, nebo díky vlastnímu přesvědčení, že nic nekončí navždy. Když překonáme naše obavy, pak se setkáme s našimi sny, o které budeme muset pečovat jako o malé děti. A spolu se dvěma hrdiny příběhu se budeme muset o ně postarat, aby se jim nic zlého nestalo, vychovávat je a bojovat za ně, snažit se je realizovat s veškerou energií, kterou nám samotné sny předávají. To je naše podstata bytí. Přestat věřit v tyto sny nebo je nenásledovat, by nás uvedlo do bolestí a zanechalo nás s hrstkou prachu v ruce. A právě v tomto okamžiku, všechno a my, ve skutečnosti končíme, to je okamžik, ve kterém končí život. Budou umět Petr s Pamelou bojovat proti nečemu skutečnému ale neurčitému? Budou umět nalézt tuto nitku, která sjednotí jejich sny, aby se návratili zpátky do života a žili jejich sny?
