The rise of dynamic categories of Greco-Roman personal names is presented primarily in reference to France. Part I introduces the Frankish system of Germanic names and illustrates composite derivation through the examples of Mauger and Mathilde in the Norman ducal family. Part II describes the various Greco-Roman sub-catgories that formed before the onset of dynamic categories, with particular attention to traditions in the high aristocracy. Part III is devoted to the rise of the “oblique” category of Greco-Roman names, the smaller of the two dynamic categories. The “oblique” category includes the male names Peter, Thomas and Nicholas, and a host of female names, including Agnes and Sibylle and attributives such as Yolande and Clementia.

The free-standing radios of the middle decades of the 20th century were invitingly rotund and proudly displayed--nothing like today's skinny televisions hidden inside "entertainment centers." Radios were the hub of the family's after-dinner activities, and children and adults gorged themselves on western-adventure series like "The Lone Ranger," police dramas such as "Calling All Cars," and the varied offerings of "The Cavalcade of America." Shows often aired two or three times a week, and many programs were broadcast for more than a decade, comprising hundreds of episodes. This book includes more than 300 program logs (many appearing in print for the first time) drawn from newspapers, script files in broadcast museums, records from NBC, ABC and CBS, and the personal records of series directors. Each entry contains a short broadcast history that includes directors, writers, and actors, and the broadcast dates and airtimes. A comprehensive index rounds out the work.

Чарльз Диккенс – один из самых известных писателей Англии XIX века. Мастерство владения языком, умение строить сюжет и наполнять его незабываемыми персонажами принесли автору заслуженное звание классика. «Дэвид Копперфилд» – многократно экранизированный роман, в основу которого легла автобиография самого Диккенса. В книге описывается переменчивая и насыщенная событиями нелёгкая жизнь главного героя. Поднимаются извечные темы лжи, предательства, борьбы с несправедливостью. А также в полной мере раскрывается идея формирования личности и осознания своего места в социуме. Читайте зарубежную литературу в оригинале!
