Ladybugs Tornadoes and Swirling Galaxies

This book answers the question, “What's next in comprehension strategy instruction?” Content comprehension, that's what. Join Brad and Anne as they teach their kids to merge their thinking with social studies and science content to learn, understand and remember it. 
Step inside their rooms and see how seamlessly and joyously they create a mix of intellectual curiosity, passion for the real world and pure unadulterated fun to nurture engagement and long lasting learning. What a terrific read. I love this book!
—Stephanie Harvey, co-author of Strategies that Work
"Ladybugs, Tornadoes, and Swirling Galaxies is an engaging and vital resource for teachers endeavoring to address the needs not just of ELLs, but of all students in today's increasingly diverse schools.
The cornerstone of literacy development for second language learners is the skillful mediation of conceptual knowledge through visual imagery and oral interaction, coupled with the representation of these ideas in text. As Brad and Anne describe their classrooms and their teaching, we see myriad examples of this in action, as well as the rationale behind it.
—Nancy L. Commins, author of Linguistic Diversity and Teaching
Brad Buhrow and Anne Garcia are primary teachers in a diverse school in Boulder, Colorado. In Ladybugs, Tornadoes and Swirling Galaxies, you will see how they blend comprehension instruction and ELL best practices to explore inquiry as a literacy pathway for English language learners.
As teachers and students engage in learning science and social studies content they also discover multiple ways to make meaning. The book is full of photographs of student artwork—including a color insert—that reveals the children's inquiry process, and demonstrates the important role of art as a sign system in ELL literacy and language acquisition. 
Brad and Anne provide explicit detail on the process they use as they move step-by-step with students from personal narrative through the independent inquiry process. They also discuss use of the Gradual Release Model, authentic assessment, and bilingual identities.
Appendices in Spanish and English help to round out this informative and charming resource.

Getting Science The Teachers Guide to Exciting and Painless Primary School Science by Brian Clegg

Science is rightly a fundamental part of primary school education, but that doesn’t make it easy to teach - especially for teachers without a science background. This straight talking book from an experienced science writer and communicator looks at how to make the most of it and give primary school children a good grounding in the topic.
Getting Science sets out to engage the sense of wonder. The science in this book is not for the children, but for the adults who have to explain it. Starting with a whirlwind tour of the great milestones of modern science, Getting Science goes on to take each of the main curriculum topics and give it a new twist. It provides the information needed to understand the key topics better and be able to put them across with enthusiasm and energy.
This book will help teachers to get children excited by science, to understand science rather than just answer questions. Getting Science makes science fun, approachable and comprehensible to those who just don’t get it.

Bullying in Schools and What to Do About it - Revised and Updated by Ken Rigby

The theme of this book is a simple one. Bullying is an undesirable form of behaviour which is widely prevalent in schools, and it can be greatly reduced, if not entirely eliminated, principally by actions taken by schools and also, to a lesser degree, by parents.
The purpose of this book is to provide an understanding of the phenomenon of school bullying and to suggest how it can be countered effectively.

Asking Questions the Definitive Guide to Questionnaire Design

    This book is a revised and updated edition of Asking Questions: APractical Guide to Questionnaire Designfirst published in 1982. Itfocuses on the type of question asking that social science researchersand market researchers use in structured questionnaires or interviews.
Many of the principles of effective formalized questioning wefocus on in this book are useful in other contexts. They are usefulin informal or semi structured interviews, in administering printedquestionnaires in testing rooms, and in experimental studies involvingparticipant evaluations or responses
We intend this book to be a useful “handbook” for sociologists,psychologists, political scientists, evaluation researchers, socialworkers, sensory scientists, marketing and advertising researchers,and for many others who have occasion to obtain systematic informationfrom clients, customers, or employees.In the past two decades, two major changes in the practice ofsurvey research prompted us to produce a revised edition. First,there has been a revolution in research on question asking broughtabout by the application of cognitive psychology to the study ofquestionnaire design. We now have a conceptual framework forunderstanding the question-answering process and the causes of thevarious response effects that have been observed since the earlydays of social scientific surveys. This work has helped move questionnaireconstruction from an art to a science.

The Complete Idiots Guide to Personal Finance In Your 20s And 30s

 Organizing your financial affairs and making the most of your money can be a toughchallenge-especially when you're a young adult busy building a career and, perhaps, afamily. It’s particularly tough because, most likely, no one ever taught you much about managingyour money.
 We've learned to talk openly about sex in recent years, but money seems to bethe last taboo subject. Chances are your parents were fairly secretive about their ownfinancial affairs. And it's dollars to doughnuts that you went through 12 or 16 or more yearsof education without a sensible course in money management.So this is the time to get started.
          
For one thing, the principles learned here will stand you ingood stead throughout life. The fine points may change as you grow older and movethrough various stages of life, but the underlying principles are the same. And, as Benjamin Franklin so wisely said back in the eighteenth century, compound interestis the eighth wonder of the world. In his words, "Money makes money and the money thatmoney makes more money. “In other words, if you get started saving now, while you're young, you'll have far moremoney later in life than you ever dreamed possible. Put away $2,000 a year in a tax-shelteredretirement account-that's just $166 a month-and, as Sarah Fisher and Susan Shelly point out, you'll have $439,000 by the time you reach age 65. And that's if you put the$2,000 away each year for just 10 years and then stop.

A Handbook of Economic Anthropology BY James G Carrier

 This is a handbook. So, it is not something that lays out a coherent argument in an extended form. Rather, it is a set of chapters that cover economic- anthropological work on specific topics and in specific regions of the world. At the same time, however, these chapters all revolve around economic anthropology. It seems appropriate, then, to include in this introduction to the whole a presentation of what
I think economic anthropology is, if only because this thinking has shaped the organization of this handbook. Because this work is oriented to those unfamiliar with economic anthropology, and perhaps unfamiliar with anthropology, that presentation will cover some material that may seem common sense to those familiar with the sub-discipline or the discipline as a whole.
  
Those who are not novices may want to skip the opening section of this Introduction and go to the section titled ‘Approaching economic life’. Those wholly familiar with the field may want to skip to the final section of this Introduction, which explains the orientation of this work.

Websters New World Telecom Dictionary by Ray Horak

Webster’s New World Telecom Dictionary, by Ray Horak, is a comprehensive telecommunications dictionary of more than 7,500 terms critical to understanding voice, data, video, and multimedia communications system and network technologies, applications, and regulation.

Given the convergence of computing and communications, the book also effectively is a computer dictionary with a telecom focus. It is thoroughly researched, highly objective, absolutely accurate, and includes just about every essential term, abbreviation, acronym, contraction, initialism, and portmanteau you might encounter in the telecom and datacom domains.

Although the book is a technical dictionary, Horak’s plain-English, commonsense style yields definitions that are as thoroughly understandable to the business professional or student as they are to the electrical engineer. In fact, many entries are encyclopedic in nature, discussing applications and issues. Horak also injects a bit of his wry sense of humor, sprinkling occasional telecom trivia and marginally related definitions that will have you smiling and chuckling to yourself, but not to the point that they detract from what is an important book on a serious subject.

An instant classic, Webster’s New World Telecom Dictionary is the one and only telecom dictionary you will need. It also makes a perfect companion to Horak’s Telecommunications and Data Communications Handbook, published by Wiley-Interscience in October 2007.

The Tense System in English Relative Clauses (Topics in English Linguistics)


The central hypothesis of this book is that the differences to be observed between future time restrictive and future time non-restric-tive relative clauses cannot be generalized to include just any issue relating to tense in relative clauses. I will illustrate the similarities between restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses and show that the differences between them occur primarily in (a) future time contexts and (b) "world-posterior indirectly bound" contexts.
The distribution of the differences and similarities will raise the issue of the relative importance of the various findings, and it is on this hierarchy of relatively less/more important factors that the conclusion whether or not restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses differ in the use of tense, will have to be based. My detailed investigation of relative clauses will allow me to reveal some of the underlying principles useful for explaining the use of tense in English in general and to comment on the differences in effect produced by "mutually substitutable" forms.
My analysis also provides a means of putting Declerck's model to the test: if it contains any inaccuracies or shortcomings, they are likely to emerge in the course of the discussion. It will be shown that (apart from a few minor inaccuracies) the predictions the model makes about the way in which temporal relations are expressed in English are borne out by the facts and that therefore, it constitutes a theory that is descriptively and explanatorily adequate.
I will proceed in the following way: in chapter 1,1 give a definition of the concepts (un)boundedness and (a)telicity, as these will prove extremely important for the discussion which follows. Chapter 2 gives an outline of the theoretical framework of this book, i.e. the descriptive theory of tense as developed in Declerck (1991a) and shows how it can be applied to relative clauses; a survey is given of the different options which the system allows.
The first two chapters, then, provide the necessary tools to embark upon the analysis of the use of tense in relative clauses. In the next three chapters, some of the possibilities illustrated in chapter 2 are considered in detail. In chapter 3,1 examine how anteriority and posteriority are expressed in past sector relative clauses, some observations relating to the expression of simultaneity in the past sector also being included. Chapter 4 deals with anteriority in pre-present sector relative clauses. Chapter 5 offers an analysis of anteriority and simultaneity in post-present sector relative clauses. This approach will result in a comparison between the three sectors and the two types of relative clauses.
Having explained the constraints on, and possibilities of, expressing temporal relations by means of tense, I discuss the differences in effect between mutually substitutable forms in more detail (chapter 6). Chapter 7 is focussed on how relative clauses are temporally interpreted when neither tense, adverbs nor pragmatic or contextual knowledge provide information about the temporal location of the situations. In the last chapter, I examine whether non-restrictive relative clauses differ from restrictive relative clauses as far as the choice of binding time of orientation and (in)direct binding are concerned.

Subjectification Intersubjectification and Grammaticalization (Topics in English Linguistics)

This volume aims to arrive at a fine-grained and grammar-based understanding of the notions of (inter-)subjectivity and (inter-)subjectification in their application to grammaticalization research. In terms of linguistic theory, position is taken vis-? -vis existing approaches to (inter-)subjectification which are either too narrow or too general by addressing two questions:
(i) what is the relation between (inter-)subjectivity and pragmatics, and (ii) on what grounds can subjective and intersubjective meanings be distinguished? In the descriptive sections of the volume, these theoretical considerations are confronted with extensive analytical, and often also quantitative, study of empirical data mainly from English but also from Romance languages.
The focus in these case studies is on the analytical and diachronic relations between subjectivity and intersubjectivity, with particular emphasis on the question how linguistic syntagms may shift towards the expression of meanings of which the hearer is an essential part. The domains covered include adverbials and modals, but also the noun phrase, to date a relatively under-researched area in grammaticalization studies. Together these three areas ensure broad verification of existing hypotheses about the relative order in which subjectification and intersubjectification take place.
This volume is mainly of interest to researchers and graduate students with a special interest in subjectification, intersubjectification and grammaticalization, and with a general interest in language change. The volume will also be welcomed by functional linguists (in a broad sense), since it is the first to bring eclectic functionalists' reflections to bear so explicitly on grammaticalization.

Grammars Grammarians and Grammar Writing in Eighteenth Century England (Topics in English Linguistics)

By focussing on individual grammars and their history a number of long-standing questions are solved with respect to the authorship of particular grammars and related work (the Brightland/Gildon grammar and the Bellum Grammaticale; Ann Fisher's grammar) while new questions are identified, such as the significant change of approach between the publication of one grammar and its second edition of seven years later (Priestley), and the dependence of later practical grammars (for mothers and their children) on earlier publications.

The contributions present a view of the grammarians as individuals with (or without) specific qualifications for undertaking what they did, with their own ideas on teaching methodology, and as writers ultimately engaged in the common aim presenting practical grammars of English to the general public. Interestingly - and importantly - this collection of articles demonstrates the potential of ECCO as a resource for further research in the field.

English Adjectives of Comparison Lexical and Grammaticalized Uses (Topics in English Linguistics)

The book is concerned with a largely unrecognized grammaticalization process: deictification, or the development from quality-attributing to deictically used adjectives in the English noun phrase.

On the basis of the synchronic and diachronic corpus-study of six English adjectives of comparison, deictification is shown to involve unstudied variants of subjectification and decategorialization.

A Comparative Grammar Of British English Dialects - Topics in English Linguistics 50.1(Topics in English Linguistics)

This volume offers qualitative as well as corpus-based quantitative studies on three domains of grammatical variation in the British Isles. All studies draw heavily on the Freiburg English Dialect Corpus (FRED), a computerized corpus for predominantly British English dialects comprising some 2.5 million words.
Besides an account of FRED and the advantages which a functional-typological framework offers for the study of dialect grammar, the volume includes the following three substantial studies. Tanja Herrmann's study is the first systematic cross-regional study of relativization strategies for Scotland, Northern Ireland, and four major dialect areas in England.
In her research design Hermann has included a number of issues crucial in typological research on relative clauses, above all the Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy. Lukas Pietsch investigates the so-called Northern Subject Rule, a special agreement phenomenon known from Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. His study is primarily based on the Northern Ireland Transcribed Corpus of Speech, but also on the FRED and SED data (Survey of English Dialects) for the North of England. Susanne Wagner is concerned with the phenomenon of pronominal gender, focussing especially on the typologically rather unique semantic gender system in the dialects of Southwest England. This volume will be of interest to dialectologists, sociolinguists, typologists, historical linguists, grammarians, and anyone interested in the structure of spontaneous spoken English.
