The Story of a Nodding Donkey
From the "Make Believe Stories":The Nodding Donkey dated his birth from the day he received the beautiful coat of varnish in the workshop of Santa Claus at the North Pole. Before that he was just some pieces of wood, glued together. His head was not glued on, however, but was fastened in such a manner that with the least motion the Donkey could nod it up and down, and also sidewise.It is not every wooden donkey who is able to nod his head in as many ways as could the Donkey about whom I am going to tell you. This Nodding Donkey was an especially fine toy, and, as has been said, his first birthday was that on which he received such a bright, shiny coat of varnish.

A Thief in the Night

The Education of Henry Adams
The Education of Henry Adams records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in early old age, to come to terms with the dawning 20th century, so different from the world of his youth. It is also a sharp critique of 19th century educational theory and practice. In 1907, Adams began privately circulating copies of a limited edition printed at his own expense. Commercial publication had to await its author's 1918 death, whereupon it won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize.

The Lexical Tones of Vietnamese Metropoles
Lexikální tón je jevem u nás nepříliš známým. Zatímco v češtině a jiných netónových jazycích je slovo tvořeno jen řetězcem souhlásek a samohlásek, v jazycích tónových musí ještě přistoupit specifický melodický rys, aby bylo slovo úplné. Po představení obecných zásad produkce a percepce tónu kniha načrtává obrys zvukového plánu vietnamštiny, tj. jejího systému segmentálního a prozodického. Jádrem monografie jsou kontrastivní analýzy tónů současné vietnamštiny hanojské a saigonské. Popis produkovaných tónů je doplněn experimentem percepčním, jehož výsledky složité vztahy v tónových soustavách obou dialektů dokreslují.
