Описание: In the 1950s, the author was a college student working toward a degree in education, looking forward to beginning a career in teaching. To allay expenses in completing her degree, she accepted a position as a teacher in a remote area where it was difficult to place teachers with a degree. Here she learned the true meaning of dedication and the need for good teachers. She completed her education and spent thirty-six years in the classroom. Upon retiring, she published two cookbooks and continued her love for cooking, writing, spending time with family and friends, and planning her next project. Her love for teaching and her memories of the many children whose lives she touched resulted in this book where she could share stories that were such a big part of her adult life.

Описание:
Murders, cover-ups, infidelities, financial and political skulduggery: Dr John Olsson has seen it all in his decades as one of the world's top forensic linguists specialising in authorship.
Working on cases that range from accusations of genocide to domestic disputes gone bad to allegations of university plagiarism, Olsson turns the same tools to the task - the power, depth and precision of forensic linguistics. Grammatical curiosities, lexical quirks, typographic stylings and patterns of use can all give away even the most hard-bitten and careful of criminals. And Olsson doesn't stop there. From the giveaway compound nouns of heavy-handed police statements to the startling similarities displayed in what should be individual office accounts, officials in high places are given a run for their money too. Wordcrime is easy to commit - and hard to escape. MoreWordcrime features a series of gripping cases involving murder, sexual assault, hate mail, suspicious death and criminal damage. In approachable and clear prose, Dr Olsson details how forensic linguistics helps the law beat criminals, and how even those in power can be held to account.
This is fascinating reading for anyone interested in true crime, in modern, cutting-edge criminology and also where the study of language meets the law.
