He was a man of outstanding mental abilities, who applied his knowledge to straighten out the excesses and confusions of mortal life on earth. Many people would call him a mystic; in fact, he was a representative of the highest universal laws that few recognize. Another impressive story about Semi Dual, which reveals the new features of the main character.

The Pursuits of Peter Pell is an episodic novel in 12 parts by Aidan de Brune, set in Perth, Australia. Peter Pell is a con man. Thats essentially it. He engages in a lot of humorous adventures and situations. Its told in sequential short story format. As the novel is rather short and quite fast-paced with a lot of scenery-changes and adventures, this nice. Aidan de Brune was a big name in Australian literature but is forgotten today. He was a prolific author who wrote in a variety of genres. In the 1920s and 1930s a number of his novels appeared in Australian newspapers as serials, and he also appears to have written serials specifically for publication in newspapers.

Monografia poświęcona jest policzalności i niepoliczalności rzeczownika w języku angielskim. Książkę rozpoczyna przegląd literatury poświęconej temu zagadnieniu począwszy od pierwszych gramatyk, w których podjęto analizę tego tematu, poprzez najważniejsze osiągnięcia różnych podejść: logicznego, morfologicznego, syntaktycznego, semantycznego oraz pragmatycznego. Przegląd kończy ujęcie tego zagadnienia z punktu widzenia Gramatyki Kognitywnej, która jednocześnie stanowi bazę teoretyczną przeprowadzonej w drugiej części monografii analizy. Opierając się na autentycznym materiale językowym, autor podejmuje się weryfikacji jednego z twierdzeń Gramatyki Kognitywnej, iż prawdopodobnie każdy rzeczownik może wystąpić zarówno w formie policzalnej, jak i niepoliczalnej. Ponadto, autor wskazuje szereg prawidłowości, według których następuje zmiana omawianych własności gramatycznych rzeczownika, a które nierozerwalnie związane są z ekstensją znaczenia.
