Early 20th-century Russia suffered frequent revolutionary violence, including many bouts of political terrorism. As a leader of the Russian Socialist-Revolutionary Party's Combat Organization, Boris Savinkov helped organize and execute a series of notorious attacks, including two bomb blasts that killed senior officials in 1904 and 1905. During his various periods of exile and imprisonment, Savinkov also wrote fiction and memoirs describing the methods and operations of Russia's revolutionary terrorists and exploring problems with the representation of violence, the ethics of terrorism, and the subjective world of the terrorists themselves.Drawing on an unpublished introduction and annotations that Savinkov wrote in a Soviet prison in 1924, Jonathan Daly and Scott B. Smith have prepared an exciting new translation of the most detailed personal account—written in 1909 but first published in 1917—by a Russian revolutionary terrorist. The editors have preserved the matter-of-fact style of the original text, which juxtaposes violence and chaos with businesslike pragmatism as Savinkov recounts how he joined the Combat Organization, recruited assassins, and planned and carried out attacks.With a thorough introduction and detailed textual notes and commentary, "Memoirs of a Terrorist" by Boris Savinkov is a captivating read for general readers and specialists alike.

Every year, on 31 December, Hank and his older brother Jacob make a pilgrimage to their father's grave. They have never been close - indeed, they have never even liked one another - but they keep this promise, made to their father before he died. This year Jacob's friend Lou comes with them. As they drive towards the cemetery in Jacob's truck through the snowbound landscape, a fox runs across the road, and they skid on the ice and crash. Jacob's dog chases the fox through the deep snow. The three men follow him, beating their way through the drifts, until they come to a valley where they see a small plane, belly down in the snow. In the pilot's seat is a dead man, his eyes pecked out by the crows. In the back they discover a duffle bag. In the bag is 4.4 million dollars.A Simple Plan is a novel that slowly but surely grips the reader by the throat as it unfolds in an inevitable and doomed spiral of events, through murder, betrayal and mass killing. From its deceptively simple beginning, to its horrific and surprising conclusion, it marks the début of an extraordinary new talent.

This book reports the results of an ethnographic study, focusing primarily on the experiences of four teachers of the Chinese language in Australian secondary schools. The author creates an audience for their voices as they reflect on their own understandings of culture, language teaching, and culture in language teaching through semi-structured interviews, and compares these reflections with written stimulus dialogues designed to elicit 'culture-in-language' reflections, as well as curriculum and policy documents produced by the Australian government. The book's findings indicate that teachers of the Chinese language are diverse in their views on culture, language teaching, and the ways in which culture can or should inform language teaching, and the author argues that language teacher intercultural competence cannot be assessed through a synthesis of the current English-only research literature. This book will be of interest to teachers and teacher trainers of Chinese as a foreign language, as well as students and scholars of applied linguistics and language education more broadly.
