important aspects of contemporary Norwegian as used by native
speakers. The Grammar presents a fresh and accessible description
of the language. Explanations are clear, free from jargon and often

demonstrates and explains usages which have proved difficult for
those learning the language in the past. It is clearly laid-out for
easy reference making it accessible for those at a
beginner/intermediate level. This is the ideal reference source for
all learners, whether studying independently or in a class.
Writing and Fantasy brings together essays which restore a sense of
the fantastic as a political response to cultural opportunities and
pressures. It moves on from two conventional fields of discussion:
the psychoanalytic, where phantasies are produced by the emergence
of the consciousness, and the social, where fantasies are the
production of nineteenth-century individualism. Chapters run from
the classical period to the twentieth century, each focusing on a
local reading of how fantasy acts as a strategy to contain or
exploit specific historical and cultural moments. A wide variety of
sites are investigated including the feminization of the wild west,
originary and maternal spaces, highwaywomen, financial credit, and
the ideal home. Multiple genres containing fantasy are explored,
ranging from ghost stories to feminist utopias.Aids to the reader
include an introduction summarising recent discussions of fantasy,
illustrations dealing with visual fantasies, and an annotated
bibliography. The new research presented here will be of great
interest to academics and students in literature, history and
cultural studies departments who are working in the field of the
historical development of concepts of fantasy, cultural opposition,
and the imbrication of politics and modes of representation.

The Power of We: The Ohio Study Group Experience traces the work of
a network of early childhood educators who are inspired by and
engaged in the study of the early childhood programs and practices
of Reggio Emilia, Italy. The text describes how the network of
study groups began, expanded, and sustained their work. It explains
how study groups serve as professional development and are integral
to the shaping of learning communities and making an impact on
classroom practices in early childhood programs. It chronicles some
of the specific experiences of study groups as well as initiatives
of Ohio Voices for Learning (OVL), the organization formed by study
group facilitators. This book is important for the uniqueness of
the organization it describes and the direction it provides for
others interested in replicating the study group experience in
their geographic area. The targeted audience is the general early
childhood education field. It is also appropriate for any educator
engaged in or interested in study groups and professional learning
communities.
