The Cultural Politics of Digital User Experience Writing
User experience (UX) writers are the professionals who create the verbal content of websites, apps, or other software interfaces, including error messages, help texts, software instructions, or button labels that we all see and engage with every day.

It highlights the nature of UX writing, its (meta)pragmatic organization, and its cultural-political implications. Foregrounding the voices and perspectives of language workers, it is essential reading for anyone interested in how language shapes the way people use digital media.
Reflections on English Word-Formation
We are all familiar with coming across a new word, whether it has just been invented or whether we have just not met it before. How do we invent new words? How do we understand words that we have never heard before? What are the limits on the kinds of words we produce? How have linguists and grammarians dealt with the phenomenon of creating new words, and how justified are their ways of viewing such words? In this concise and compelling book, Professor Bauer, one of the world's best-known morphologists, looks back over fifty years of his work, seeking out overlooked patterns in word-formation, and offering new solutions to recurrent problems. Each section deals with a different morphological problem, meaning that the book can either be read from start to finish, or alternatively used as a concise reference work on the key issues and problems in the field.

Constructing Black Consciousness in Postcolonial Literature
The book critically investigates how postcolonial African literature engages with the ideology and aesthetics of Black Consciousness. Anchored in the apartheid aftermath, the book explores how Magona's *Mother to Mother* reconstructs identity, revives suppressed histories, and provokes political awareness. Drawing from Steve Biko's vision, the research analyzes Black Consciousness as both a political tool and literary technique. The novel's first-person maternal narrative offers a deeply personal account of Amy Biehl's 1993 killing, rehumanizing both victim and perpetrator, while exposing generational trauma and institutionalized violence. The study highlights Magona's decolonial storytelling, rooted in indigenous knowledge, affective memory, and oral tradition. By portraying mothering as a metaphor for cultural survival and national healing, the book positions the novel as a transformative postcolonial text that confronts historical injustice and envisions paths toward empathy, dignity, and liberation.

Reflections on English Word-Formation
We are all familiar with coming across a new word, whether it has just been invented or whether we have just not met it before. How do we invent new words? How do we understand words that we have never heard before? What are the limits on the kinds of words we produce? How have linguists and grammarians dealt with the phenomenon of creating new words, and how justified are their ways of viewing such words? In this concise and compelling book, Professor Bauer, one of the world's best-known morphologists, looks back over fifty years of his work, seeking out overlooked patterns in word-formation, and offering new solutions to recurrent problems. Each section deals with a different morphological problem, meaning that the book can either be read from start to finish, or alternatively used as a concise reference work on the key issues and problems in the field.

"The Ebb and Pull of the Dream". An Ecocritical Reading of Cherie Dimaline's "The Marrow Thieves"
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This work explores how Indigenous literature, particularly "The Marrow Thieves" by M矇tis author Cherie Dimaline, responds to environmental destruction and climate change. Set in a dystopian near-future Canada devastated by ecological collapse, the novel follows a group of Indigenous characters fleeing from settlers who harvest their bone marrow, believed to be the cure for a mysterious illness that prevents non-Indigenous people from dreaming. The novel critiques ongoing colonial violence and its connection to environmental exploitation, highlighting how Indigenous communities are disproportionately affected by both. Through its characters and story, "The Marrow Thieves" shows the resilience of Indigenous peoples and the importance of traditional knowledge in surviving ecological crises. It challenges dominant ideas of development and progress, instead emphasizing the deep, interdependent relationship between humans and the natural world. This analysis uses eco-criticism and postcolonial theory to explore how Dimaline's novel exposes the roots of environmental collapse in colonial history and calls for a rethinking of our relationship with the environment, one guided by Indigenous perspectives and values.

Johan Wolfgang von Goethe is known as a celebrated German poet, however, his scientific accomplishments have remained rather unknown. Yet, Goethe had a keen interest in all the science of his time and he has written a number of books and writings on mineralogy, geology, botany, morphology, osteology, zoology, meteorology, chemistry, physics and chromatics. This work concentrates on Goethe's studies of prismatic color phenomena and the formation of rainbows from a phenomenological point of view, they are also compared to the Newtonian physics of the time. 46 color photographs are included which illustrate the studied phenomena. Goethe's phenomenological way of doing science can be said to be complementary to way of mathematical physics.
