Tony Hand

This collection offers a multifaceted view of the life, research and impact of Emanuel A. Schegloff, the co-originator, with Harvey Sacks and Gail Jefferson, of Conversation Analysis (or CA), and its leading contemporary authority. The first section introduces Schegloff’s life and work, and, using a series of interviews with him, provides a concise, comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field’s major aims and achievements. Next many of the world’s leading researchers from various disciplines – including Communication, Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Linguistic Anthropology, and Sociology – build on Schegloff’s foundational research, analyzing encounters from everyday and institutional settings (conducted in English, German, Korean, Mandarin, and Russian) to explicate how conversation and other conduct in interaction are organized. The final section of the book includes reflections on Schegloff’s contributions by some of his major interlocutors and Schegloff’s response to them.

Everyone likes a routine, or at least the familiarity of one, and Jason is no exception. He and his friends have been frequenting the same pub on the same night ever since college. Unfortunately, life has a way of getting in the way of such traditions, what with careers, weddings, kids...then one night, it happens: Jason finds himself sitting alone at the group’s table, wondering just what the hell happened. Luckily, he doesn’t have to wonder alone for long. Another regular fixture at the pub soon introduces himself, and in the first of many philosophical conversations, the two of them spent the evening contemplating the meaning of existence. And it couldn’t come at a better time. Jason’s life is about to get turned upside down. After finally building up the courage to ask out the beautiful girl in the elevator, after months of inane pleasantries, he is thrust unexpectedly into a pressure-filled and ethically questionable position at work—one that draws him and his new love into a whirlwind of corporate intrigue, espionage, and betrayal.

But a brush with death leaves him a time traveler—and an unwilling initiate in the Saturn Society, a secret society of those with his ability. One great wrong. Tony vows to use his gift to prevent his daughter’s murder—if he could figure out how. Never mind that this violates the Society’s highest law, branding him an Enemy for a crime he has yet to commit. Determined to thwart the Society, he seeks help from Charlotte, the woman whose life he saved decades before he was born. One chance to make things right… Tony jumps to 1933 in search of answers, but lands on the wrong side of the Society, a fugitive on the run. Thrilled, yet terrified to see her childhood hero, Charlotte offers him sanctuary…and unexpected love. But Charlotte hides a terrible secret: loyal to the Society, she must bring to justice those who manipulate time for their own gain. By sheltering Tony, she faces a terrible choice: condemn the man she loves and to whom she owes her life, or deny her deepest convictions by helping him escape, and risk sharing his sentence. Not your typical time travel romance, Time’s Enemy creates a wonderful blend of romance and science fiction, an exciting adventure through time rich in action, romance, and history.
