    The Syntactic Integration of Adverbial Clauses
    This book looks at the currently keenly discussed topic of the syntactic relationships between clauses. Using experimentation to obtain a firm data basis for claims, the author examines the evidence from nominal coreference and variable binding between clauses in German. The study aims to investigate the syntactic and processing differences between the way that central adverbial clauses - for example with a temporal meaning - and peripheral adverbial clauses - which may be adversative or concessive - are attached to their main clauses. On the basis of the experimental data, this work proposes a new structural factor of "clause-command". The author shows that this can capture the patterns in anaphoric relationships across clausal boundaries more successfully than the traditional mechanism c-command. In particular, this new factor succeeds in providing an account of the gradient pattern of integration that we find in anaphoric interpretation across clauses.

    Caught in the Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 768min
    Helen Rappaport's masterful telling of the outbreak of the Russian Revolution through eyewitness accounts left by foreign nationals who saw the drama unfold. Between the first revolution in February 1917 and Lenin's Bolshevik coup in October, Petrograd was in turmoil - felt nowhere more keenly than on the fashionable Nevsky Prospekt, where the foreign visitors and diplomats who filled hotels, clubs, bars and embassies were acutely aware of the chaos breaking out. Among this disparate group were journalists, businessmen, volunteer nurses and expatriate socialites. Many kept diaries and wrote letters home. Helen Rappaport draws upon this rich trove of material to carry us right up to the action - to see, feel and hear the revolution as it happened. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Meadows.

    Panic on the Pacific: How America Prepared for the West Coast Invasion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
    The aftershocks of the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor were felt keenly all over America - the war in Europe had hit home. But nowhere was American life more immediately disrupted than on the West Coast, where people lived in certain fear of more Japanese attacks. From that day until the end of the war, a dizzying mix of battle preparedness and rampant paranoia swept the states. Japanese immigrants were herded into internment camps. Factories were camouflaged to look like small towns. The Rose Bowl was moved to North Carolina. Airport runways were so well hidden even American pilots couldn't find them. There was panic on the Pacific coast: The Japanese were coming. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Newman.

    Ethan Frome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 220min
    Probably the most famous of Edith Wharton's novels, Ethan Frome contrasts sharply with her usual ironic contemplation of the fashionable New York society to which she herself belonged and whose strengths and weaknesses she understood so well. Ethan Frome is a keenly-etched portrait of the simple inhabitants of a 19th-century New England village. Ethan, a gaunt, patient New Englander, is a man tormented by a passionate love for his wife's young cousin, Mattie. Restricted by the bonds of marriage and the fear of public condemnation, his desperate quest for happiness ultimately leads to pain and despair. Ethan's story, with its tragic implications of what might have been, has had an irresistible fascination over the past century. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C.M. Hebert.

    Dog Park
    Helsinki, 2016. Olenka sits on a bench, watching a family play in a dog park. A stranger sits down beside her. Olenka startles; she would recognize this other woman anywhere. After all, Olenka was the one who ruined her life. And this woman may be about to do the same to Olenka. Yet, for a fragile moment, here they are, together - looking at their own children being raised by other people. Moving seamlessly between modern-day Finland and Ukraine in the early days of its post-Soviet independence, Dog Park is a keenly observed, dark and propulsive novel set at the intersection of East and West, centered in a web of exploitation and the commodification of the female body. Oksanen brings fearless psychological acuity to this captivating story about a woman unable to escape the memory of her lost child, the ruthless powers that still hunt her, and the lies that could well end up saving her.
