I'm getting it just fine in both Safari and Firefox. Maybe you should try going to the google books site and do a fresh search? Search for "micromegas" under the "full text only" search limitation. It's odd. The Google books site is a little temperamental, but I've never heard of...

I've only ever heard "Kee" for quay . I pronounce Tuesday with a "Tyoo-", but tumult with either an "-uh" or a schwa. I have some British pronunciation habits, from my mother, so this may not be standard American pronunciation regarding these words, if there is such a t...

P.S. from Smokestack's Ego: Does that mean the other versions will be (unintentioally) "buried?" That's not just your ego talking - I'm concerned about that too. If someone searches for Lovecraft, or for a particular story, all of your existing stuff will turn up... but it will be a lot e...

I think there might be another South African or two around. I know we've got a poem in Afrikaans one of our multilingual collections. Your test sounds good! A little louder, if possible, is the only thing I'd say. Your reading speed is very good, and your voice is nice and clear, with good clean con...

Yes -- I was curious about this too, as I thought the 'no cross-listing' policy was pretty well in place. I guess it's not really a "rule," per se, though. Sorry I didn't bring this up earlier. I would encourage you, Sarah, to just start anew. This gives more people a chance to take part, ...

Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Point of View is Lewis White Beck's 1963 translation of Idee zu einer allgemeinen Geschichte in weltbürgerlicher Absicht . This translation *may* have an expired copyright, but I'm not sure. It is published on marxists.org and wikisource, but this is...

Sounds great! We hear periodically from people who use our recordings to teach language -- especially English as a second language. I've also talked recently with a number of people in organizations who plan to use our recordings in similar ways; for example, a group in Ecuador working with underser...

You're talking to someone right now! Please tell us what you're looking for. You say you are researching virtual literacy volunteering. Are you looking for statistics? Interviews with volunteers? You mention working with OU. Are you thinking of a link exchange/publicity/etc? If there are particular ...
