If John Lennon, Gertrude Stein, Stephen Hawking, and Mother
Goose had conspired to write a grammar book, "GRAM-O-RAMA" would be
it.
Suited both for an audience of word-lovers and for students in
the classroom, this textbook contains dozens of unconventional
exercises geared toward learning grammar. Its interactive method
offers students and teachers a smart approach by focusing on the
musical side of language. Exercises encourage the writer to
experiment with style, pitch, rhythm, and sound to realize the
levels behind words and structures.
Although this work includes rules as backup reference, it points
students toward hearing language rather than memorizing rules.
Inevitably, they'll have fun By reading and performing the
exercises out loud, students will come to understand and appreciate
grammar in a new and irresistible way.
Classroom tested with hilarious results for participants and
audiences.
"Not your grandma's grammar, these irresistible exercises prod
and provoke, delight and inspire. They rattle students (and
teachers) out of boredom, apathy, and fear and awaken them to the
power and possibilities of language."
-Elizabeth Moose, instructor of English,
North Carolina School of Science and Math
This new edition of The Routledge Companion to Landscape Studies
contains an updated and expanded selection of original chapters
which explore research directions in an array of disciplines
sharing a concern for 'landscape', a term which has many uses and
meanings. It features 33 revised and/or updated chapters and 14
entirely new chapters on topics such as the Anthropocene,
Indigenous landscapes, challenging landscape Eurocentrisms,
photography and green infrastructure planning. The volume is
divided into four parts: Experiencing landscape; Landscape,
heritage and culture; Landscape, society and justice; and Design
and planning for landscape. Collectively, the book provides a
critical review of the various fields related to the study of
landscapes, including the future development of conceptual and
theoretical approaches, as well as current empirical knowledge and
understanding. It encourages dialogue across disciplinary barriers
and between academics and practitioners, and reflects upon the
implications of research findings for local, national and
international policy in relation to landscape. The Companion
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to current thinking
about landscapes, and serves as an invaluable point of reference
for scholars, researchers and graduate students alike.
This volume explores the themes of theodicy and hope in both
individual portions of the Twelve (books and sub-sections) and in
the Book of the Twelve as a whole, as the contributors use a
diversity of approaches to the text(s) with a particular interest
in synchronic perspectives. While these essays regularly engage the
mostly redactional scholarship surrounding the Book of Twelve,
there is also an examination of various forms of literary analysis
of final text forms, and engagement in descriptions of the thematic
and theological perspectives of the individual books and of the
collection as a whole. The synchronic work in these essays is thus
in regular conversation with diachronic research, and as a general
rule they take various conclusions of redactional research as a
point of departure. The specific themes, theodicy and hope, are key
ideas that have provided the opportunity for contributors to
explore individual books or sub-sections within the Twelve, and the
overarching development (in both historical and literary terms) and
deployment of these themes in the collection.
An accessible introduction to the historical and theological
developments between the Old and New Testament. Bridging the end of
the Old Testament period and the beginning of the New Testament
period, this book surveys the history and theological developments
of four significant eras in Israel's post-exilic history: the Late
Persian Era (465-331 BC), the Hellenistic Era (332-167 BC), the
Hasmonean Era (167-63 BC), and the Roman Era (63-4 BC). In doing
so, it does away with the notion that there were four hundred years
of prophetic silence before Jesus. Bridging the Testaments outlines
the political and social developments of these four periods, with
particular focus on their impact upon Judeans and Samarians. Using
a wide range of biblical and extra-biblical sources, George Athas
reconstructs what can be known about the history of Judah and
Samaria in these eras, providing the framework for understanding
the history of God's covenant people, and the theological
developments that occurred at the end of the Old Testament period,
leading into the New Testament. In doing so, Athas shows that the
notion of a supposed period of four hundred years of prophetic
silence is not supported by the biblical or historical evidence.
Finally, an epilogue sketches the historical and theological
situation prevailing at the death of Herod in 4 BC, providing
important context for the New Testament writings. In this way, the
book bridges the Old and New Testaments by providing a historical
and theological understanding of the five centuries leading up to
the birth of Jesus, tracking a biblical theology through them, and
abolishing the notion of a four-century prophetic silence.
