      "James Adams has a rare gift. In fact he has three. He is a brilliant writer, a comedic genius and is able to push his mind and body as far as anyone I know. The thought of getting up day after day to run 45 miles in utter agony, through chronic fatigue and sickness doesn't even bear thinking about. His examination of self on that journey is utterly inspiring together with his tales from other incredible feats of endurance. Of all the books on ultra running published in recent years, this has to be the best all rounder."--Amazon.com

    • Focusing on the defense of English pronunciation, this scholarly work by James Adams contends that the language's pronunciation follows specific rules rather than being arbitrary. The book is structured in two parts: the first explores the historical evolution of pronunciation, while the second offers an in-depth analysis of sounds and their correct articulation. Additionally, it includes an appendix discussing global dialects and specifically vindicating the Scottish dialect. This important contribution to linguistic studies remains relevant for linguists and educators alike.
