Unterwegs nach Santiago und Portugal begann für mich im Mai 2012 eine neue Zeit der Wanderungen. Ich kehrte nach vielen Jahrzehnten mit der Kamera zurück zu Lieblingsorten und Schauplätzen meiner Filme, ins Haus meines Großvaters, nach Amerika (Indian Country: Lakota, Navajo, Pueblos) und Südindien (nach 36 Jahren). Mein Fischer Agostin war schon lange gestorben, aber ich nahm seinen Sohn am gleichen Brunnen auf wie 1978, fuhr mit Zug und Riksha tiefer hinein nach Kerala und Tamil Nadu, sah das goldene Matrimandir und die Fishermen Colony. Mein literarisch-photographisches Projekt weitete sich aus, mit meinem Sohn besuchte ich die amerikanische Ostküste und Kanada, mit meiner Partnerin kam ich zum ersten Mal nach Sardinien und ging allein auf eine Wanderung zu Fuß von Nord- nach Südbaden, von meiner ersten Heimat in die zweite. Nach Kreta, auf die archaische Insel, kehrte ich nach 40 Jahren zurück, überall fand ich wiederkehrende Geschichten von Liebe und Trennung, Aufbruch und Heimkehr, vom Vergehen der Zeit, die ich im Schreiben und mit der Kamera festhielt. Das Wiedersehen von nahen Menschen und fernen Orten nach so vielen Jahren, das Weitergehen und Darüberhinaus - davon handelt dieses Buch.
This is the life story of an African American man who's life was filled with many triumphs and defeats. Even at an early age he realized that he would have to engage in struggles and battles to establish dignity and equality. His growing up in the Mid-West was a constant reminder that racism could raise its ugly existence at anytime and anywhere. However, his quest for excellence and equality was always foremost in his character and mind. The influence of his mother and father's families played an important role in shaping his decision to be involved in civil rights of the 60's and 70's. Although athletics allowed him the opportunity to attend college on scholarship he never forgot that standing for what's right eliminates regret.

The relationships among data, evidence, and methodology in English historical linguistics are perennially vexed. This volume– which ranges chronologically from Old to Present-Day English and from manuscripts to corpora– challenges a wide variety of assumptions and practices and illustrates how diverse methods and approaches construct evidence for historical linguistic arguments from an increasingly large and diverse body of linguistic data. The future of English linguistics as envisaged by the editors of Topics in English Linguistics lies in empirical studies, which integrate work in English linguistics into general and theoretical linguistics on the one hand, and comparative linguistics on the other. The TiEL series features volumes that present interesting new data and analyses, and above all fresh approaches that contribute to the overall aim of the series, which is to further outstanding research in English linguistics.
