Artifacts. Miseries. Mysteries . . . From the moment Horace F. Andrews sees the sign from the bus—a sign with his own name on it—everything changes. The sighting leads him underground, to the House of Answers, a hidden warehouse full of mysterious objects. But there he finds only questions. What is this curious place? Who are the strange, secretive people who entrust him with a rare and immensely powerful gift? And what is he to do with it? Horace quickly discovers that nothing is ordinary anymore. From the sinister man lurking around every corner to the gradual mastery of his newfound abilities to his encounters with Chloe—a girl who has an astonishing talent of her own—Horace follows a path that puts him in the middle of a centuries-old conflict. Horace’s journey leads him and Chloe deep into a place where every decision they make could have disastrous consequences. Most important, it links Horace to the Box of Promises and a future he never saw coming. With an action-packed blend of science fiction and fantasy, Ted Sanders creates a world where everything is more than it seems and where friendship and loyalty have the greatest power of all.

All languages offer linguistic means to express causal relations, with causal connectives and auxiliaries serving as key markers. Cognitive scientists and linguists explore the extent to which causal modeling is influenced by specific cultures and languages versus general human cognition. For instance, English speakers can choose between "because" and "since," or "therefore" and "so." In contrast, Dutch speakers have a unique marker for non-volitional causality ("daardoor"). This volume centers on the parameters of categorization that influence the use of causal connectives and auxiliary verbs across languages. It examines how differences among closely related languages, such as English, Dutch, and Polish, can enhance our understanding of the typology of causation in language. Additionally, the book highlights the convergence of linguistic, corpus-linguistic, and psycholinguistic methodologies in identifying cognitive categories of causality. Causality emerges as an ideal linguistic phenomenon to showcase various methods and stimulate discussion on the most effective approaches to studying fundamental issues in language and cognition.
