Educators and researchers in variety of locations around the world increasingly encounter linguistically and socio-culturally diverse groups of students in their classrooms and lecture halls. The chapters in this edited collection explore how students, teachers and researchers understand and engage with this diversity by examining everyday forms of talk and writing in relation to standardised forms and schooling expectations. It brings to our attention sets of sites and themes from around the world concerned with developing critical responses to the challenges and opportunities provided by social and linguistic diversity in education. Such diversity requires more dynamic and mobile concepts of language and literacy than has often been the case in educational discourse and the chapters show how these might work, making the book's contribution to the field both timely and challenging.

This historical/biblical research by modern-day researcher Allen C. Stroud, follows in the spirit and intent of renowned historians: Flavius Josephus, Michel Nostradamas, Johannes Kepler, Martin Luther, Archbishop James Ussher, and most recently, Ivan Panin. -But this research project developed an unexpected twist as the author discovered a plethora of amazing mathematical facts he was not actually searching for; and certainly not expecting. The Daniel Calendar Matrix presents mathematical evidence showing how the Genesis genealogy was designed and implemented by a God that knows all history before it happens; illustrating how the 2,309 year contiguous genealogy in Genesis was designed with mathematic patterns and timing that could, 6,000 later, create evidence tantamount to validating the book of Genesis; not as an ancient work of men, or ancient fiction, but as an intricately and supernaturally created historical record of the ancient Hebrews -those claiming to be God's specially chosen people, led out of captivity in Egypt by Moses. "Collectively, Religious scriptures have created religious faiths that are esoteric in nature; many of which are extremely problematic to educated, rational people, having an inherent tendency to challenge statements of faith; especially those involving miraculous or scientifically unprovable claims. Different religious ideologies are contradictory, and can only fuel endless controversy between ideologies regarding any individual's perceived relationship with God. Opposing religions are based on conflicting, dogmatic scriptures. While this fact in itself does not make all religious "scripture" false; it does overwhelmingly suggest they cannot all be true. History will eventually, and necessarily, prove all of God's words to mankind. It is not an open-ended story without an ending, therefore, history and science must eventually reveal God to all of us. Before publishing this material, I decided not to delve into "established religious faiths" in this work, essentially because I realized it would not better accomplish the goals set for himself in this book by speaking dogmatically, placing one religion over another. History speaks for itself, and that is the voice that needs to be heard speaking here. After clearly hearing that voice, the scriptures to which you personally adhere will be confirmed ...or challenged. And if you are Agnostic, or accept no religious scriptures as being valid, due to their "supernatural" nature, you will find yourself extremely challenged by this material." 310 pages.
