This study presents the findings of a major investigation of second language proficiency in various groups of school-aged learners, and invites a frank appraisal of the research from an outside panel of experts. The theoretical and practical implications of the study are the subject of a lively debate focused on three main research issues: the nature of second language proficiency, the impact of classroom treatment on second language learning, and the role of social and individual factors in bilingual development. This original collection of articles will be of interest to all those concerned with policy and practice in second language education.
Pushed by the Covid-19 crisis, the UK government has borrowed
massively to save jobs, businesses and the economy from collapse,
making a mockery of the austerity policies that it had championed
for a decade. As a result, the role of the state is now in sharp
focus. The contributors to this volume assess what that role should
be and how it should be harnessed for the good of the British
people in all four of its nations. Together they present policy
proposals capable of generating a new social settlement and a
long-term, equitable economic recovery post-pandemic. It offers
both a vision of a future Britain and a roadmap to getting there.
This book provides a practical guide to molecular dynamics and
Monte Carlo simulation techniques used in the modelling of simple
and complex liquids. Computer simulation is an essential tool in
studying the chemistry and physics of condensed matter,
complementing and reinforcing both experiment and theory.
Simulations provide detailed information about structure and
dynamics, essential to understand the many fluid systems that play
a key role in our daily lives: polymers, gels, colloidal
suspensions, liquid crystals, biological membranes, and glasses.
The second edition of this pioneering book aims to explain how
simulation programs work, how to use them, and how to interpret the
results, with examples of the latest research in this rapidly
evolving field. Accompanying programs in Fortran and Python provide
practical, hands-on, illustrations of the ideas in the text.

This book details the heraldry of the Stealth Fighter beginning 10
years prior to its history-making flights over Baghdad during
Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. It includes actual
photos of many rare F-117A patches produced only for those
intimately involved in the F-117A Program. Information dealing with
the development of these patches and explaining their symbology are
provided. It's also about the people and comaraderie involved. As a
bonus, this book contains history and lineage of patches produced
during the Lockheed Product Excellence Program's existence for the
Engineering and Manufacturing organizations concealed deep within
the walls of the highly secretive Skunk Works.

Harold Keeley, a television weatherman, stumbles onto a system to
control the weather after his friend and business partner, who
designed the system, mysteriously dies in a car accident.
Unbeknownst to Keeley, the system also has weapons applications,
the development of which have been paid for by a power-hungry
billionaire businessman, and supported at the highest levels of the
U.S. government. When Keeley experiments with the system in order
to increase his television ratings, the results are potentially
deadly and the ultimate ramifications threaten the very future of
the earth's weather. Now, it is up to Keeley; a doomed NASA
astronaut abandoned in space; and a former undercover operative,
recalled to duty for one last mission, to disable the system and
remove the threat of an imminent planet-wide catastrophe.
