Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book’s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of

本書以輕巧幽默的方式，講述 Hedgehog 在冬天來臨前，一心只想占據整片樹籬，不願與任何動物共享。他忙著設立告示牌、加裝鎖頭、築起高高的圍籬，只為確保這裡只屬於自己。相較之下，其他動物彼此協助：蚯蚓和土撥鼠同住地底，負鼠與狐狸共用洞穴，鳥兒和松鼠一起待在橡樹上。大家都在努力找住處，只有 Hedgehog 把所有人拒之門外。然而，固守並沒有帶來真正的安心，反而讓他錯過了溫暖與支持。在冬天越來越近的時刻，他才逐漸明白，孤立無法帶來安全，共享反而能讓生活變得更好。以動物寓言呈現合作與共存的概念輕鬆有趣，適合親子共讀與討論讓孩子思考「保護自己」與「排斥他人」之間的差別Hedgehog is hogging the hedge and won't let the other animals live there.

Proposing a novel theory of parts of speech, this book discusses categorization from a methodological and theoretical point a view. It draws on discoveries and insights from a number of approaches - typology, cognitive grammar, notional approaches, and generative grammar - and presents a generative, feature-based theory. Building on up-to-date research and the latest findings and ideas in categorization and word-building, Panagiotidis combines the primacy of categorical features with a syntactic categorization approach, addressing the fundamental, but often overlooked, questions in grammatical theory. Designed for graduate students and researchers studying grammar and syntax, this book is richly illustrated with examples from a variety of languages and explains elements and phenomena central to the nature of human language.
