The aim of this book is to explore how teachers, students and
parents can be given more of a say in the education system - in how
schools are organised, and in what and how children learn. The book
does not promote a specific view of education, but considers the
means by which educational purposes and approaches can be
conceived, agreed and enacted democratically - a precursor to a
flourishing democratic society. Rebuilding Our Schools from the
Bottom Up has been written in response to significant changes which
have taken place in the education system over the past 30 years. In
England at least, these changes have resulted in an increasingly
centralised system in which the voices of those who teach, those
who learn, and those whose children go to school have been
marginalised. The book covers four main areas: Teacher voice:
listening to the professionals Student voice: involving students as
active participants in their education Parent voice: building a
genuine home-school partnership School community voice: developing
a shared vision With inspiring examples from around the UK and
overseas and a range of resources that can be used by senior
leaders, teachers and parents, the book aims to encourage and
support transformative change so that schools can meet the needs of
the communities they exist to serve.
Alternative Approaches to Education provides parents and teachers
with information and guidance on different education options in the
UK and further afield. This new and expanded edition, including
additional chapters and up-to-date contact details, explains the
values, philosophies and methods of a range of alternative
approaches available outside and within the state system, as well
as if you're 'doing it yourself'. Illustrated throughout with the
first-hand experiences of children, teachers and parents, it
provides lists of useful contacts, sources of further information
and answers to common questions. Together with brand new chapters
on recent research and contemporary debates, and on Free Schools,
it covers: Small alternative schools Steiner Waldorf education
Democratic schools Alternatives in the state system Parents as
change agents Setting up a Small School or Learning Centre
Home-based education Flexible schooling Exploring why alternative
approaches to education are needed, this accessible and informative
book challenges the dominant educational orthodoxies by putting
children first. It will be of interest to teachers looking to build
on their knowledge of different educational approaches in order to
find new ways of working. It is also an ideal introduction for
parents deciding how best to educate their children.
Eloise Jelinek was a leading authority on syntactic and semantic
theory, information structure, and several Native American
languages (including Lummi, Yaqui, and Navajo). She was one of the
very first generative linguists who brought the theoretical
implications of the properties of typologically unusual and
understudied languages to the forefront of mainstream generative
thinking. Jelinek originated the Pronominal Argument Hypothesis -
the idea that many languages restrict realization of their
arguments to pronouns. In other work, Jelinek investigated a broad
range of morphological, syntactic and semantic phenomena in
understudied and endangered languages. Besides the theoretical
value of that work, it was instrumental in providing sophisticated
semantic and syntactic documentation for such languages, where
description is typically limited to the basic morphophonology and
morphosyntax, as well as texts, that form the core of most
descriptive work. Thirteen of her most important papers, together
with a fourteenth essay previously unpublished, are here collected,
each preceded by a short introduction that provides context for the
work and evidence of its subsequent influence.

The study of syntax over the last half century has seen a
remarkable expansion of the boundaries of human knowledge about the
structure of natural language. The Routledge Handbook of Syntax
presents a comprehensive survey of the major theoretical and
empirical advances in the dynamically evolving field of syntax from
a variety of perspectives, both within the dominant generative
paradigm and between syntacticians working within generative
grammar and those working in functionalist and related approaches.
The handbook covers key issues within the field that include: *
core areas of syntactic empirical investigation, * contemporary
approaches to syntactic theory, * interfaces of syntax with other
components of the human language system, * experimental and
computational approaches to syntax. Bringing together renowned
linguistic scientists and cutting-edge scholars from across the
discipline and providing a balanced yet comprehensive overview of
the field, the Routledge Handbook of Syntax is essential reading
for researchers and postgraduate students working in syntactic
theory.

There is a new age of philanthropy in Europe - a EURO50 billion
plus financial market. Changing attitudes to wealth, growing social
need and innovations in finance are creating a revolution in how we
give, aided and sometimes abetted by governments. Mapping the
changes, Christopher Carnie focuses on high-value philanthropists -
people and foundations as 'major donors' - investing or donating
EURO25,000 upwards. Designed to help people find their way around
the sector, this book includes interviews with philanthropists,
advisers and fundraisers, and provides practical insider knowledge
to access donors and donor information. Complete with a substantial
appendix of sources, this book helps readers understand the
revolution in philanthropy in Europe and provides market
information for anyone building strategies for fundraising or
philanthropy.

Jamie Carnie argues for a new way of thinking about sensory
qualities as relations. He claims that colour is determined by the
way an object projects itself and challenges both the long standing
Newtonian position and the simple realist belief, referencing LSD
trips and zen-like realizations for a unique look at an age-old
truth.
"The Syntax Workbook" was written as a response to the students
and instructors who, over the years, have requested more problem
sets that give greater experience in analyzing syntactic structure.
Aligned chapter-by-chapter with Carnie's bestselling textbook, this
workbook provides over 120 new exercises on all of the major topics
in generative syntax.An all-new workbook to accompany the

This practical coursebook introduces all the basics of modern
syntactic analysis in a simple step-by-step fashion. Each unit is
constructed so that the reader discovers new ideas, formulates
hypotheses and practises fundamentals. The reader is presented with
short sections of explanation with examples, followed by practice
exercises. Feedback and comment sections follow to enable students
to monitor their progress. No previous background in syntax is
assumed. Students move through all the key topics in the field
including features, rules of combination and displacement, empty
categories, and subcategorization. The theoretical perspective in
this work is unique, drawing together the best ideas from three
major syntactic frameworks (minimalism, HPSG and LFG). Students
using this book will learn fundamentals in such a way that they can
easily go on to pursue further study in any of these frameworks.
Three years ago, Carnie Wilson was 300 pounds, unemployed,
depressed, and sitting in a doctor's office being that she probably
wouldn't live much longer. At night, she had terrible dreams of her
mother getting a phone call from the police saying, "We're very
sorry, but someone found your daughter in bed, and she's gone."
Knowing she had to do something to save her own herself, Carnie
opted to have gastric bypass surgery. She woke up the next day in
the hospital determined that she wouldn't just work on having a new
body, but also a new life. That's the story we've already heard. In
Still Hungry, Wilson picks up where she left off in her 2001 book
Gut Feelings. She takes readers step by step on her weight loss
journey, which wasn't just a road to reaching 125 pounds. It was a
mental trip where she had to conquer all of her fears and
insecurities, including issues with her father, Beach Boy Brian
Wilson--which made her gain the weight in the first place. This
book offers a unique way of showing the progression of weight loss,
with one section serving as a diary of sorts. It details Carnie's
weight at specific times so that readers can use this part of the
book to find their own weight and see how Carnie's life lessons got
her head in the right place so the pounds could keep falling off.
Wilson also offers a humorous look at her own weight loss, asking:
What's better--sex or chocolate? (Answer: "Sex followed by
chocolate.") She also discusses re-establishing her career as an
actress and singer in Hollywood. It wasn't easy when the National
Enquirer was practically staking out her house to catch her on "a
fat day," or when fans e-mailed her to chastise her for flashing
"some arm flab" onEntertainment Tonight. And, of course, the book
includes Carnie's minute-by-minute description of posing for the
June 2003 issue of Playboy magazine, with the inevitable questions:
Can I eat breakfast before posing nude? Why do I have my period
this week of all weeks? and Do I look fat? Carnie also gives
readers a glimpse of what spurred on the much awaited 2004
regrouping of the Wilson Phillips band and how she is in perfect
harmony again with her partners, sister, Wendy Wilson; and
bandmate, Chynna Phillips. Finally, the last part of the book
reveals the specific weight-loss plan that Carnie still uses to
keep slim--and anyone can follow this plan to lose weight whether
they've had weight-loss surgery or not. Carnie even includes a few
of her favorite desserts. Wilson is still hungry for knowledge,
love, acceptance, and yes, a chocolate chip cookie or two.
