This international collection of research from the field of signed
language teaching fills a gap in the applied linguistics
literature. While signed language teaching has rapidly established
an accepted place in the academic domain of second language
teaching, pedagogy has widely been shaped by conventional
practices, available teaching curricula, and findings from
descriptive linguistic research. In general, developments in
curricula, teaching approaches, and assessment have been relatively
unmediated by applied, empirical research on learning and teaching.
Teaching and Learning Signed Languages contributes to expanding an
emerging research literature on contemporary practices and issues
in the teaching and learning of signed languages. 11 chapters by
authors in Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America address the
following themes:
Training of signed language teachers
Contexts for signed language teaching and learning
Application of digital tools at the research-teaching nexus
Learner perspectives
Effects of first and second languages and modality in signed
language instruction
Formative assessment
Teaching and Learning Signed Languages examines current practices,
contexts, and the research nexus in the teaching and learning of
signed languages, offering a contemporary, international survey of
innovations in this field.

Part of the practical, highly illustrated Operative Techniques
series, this fully revised book from Drs. Emil H. Schemitsch and
Michael D. McKee brings you up to speed with must-know surgical
techniques in today's technically demanding orthopaedic trauma
surgery. Step-by-step, evidence-based guidance walks you through
both common and unique cases you're likely to see in your practice,
including upper extremity, lower extremity, spine, pelvis, and
acetabulum trauma. Practical features such as pearls of wisdom, key
points, and potential pitfalls detailed by the authors in order to
successfully manage patients with complex fracture patterns have
all been reinforced in this new edition. Includes all-new chapters
on Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries, Sternoclavicular Joint Open
Reduction and Internal Fixation, Intramedullary Fixation of
Clavicle Shaft Fractures, Use of the Reamer Irrigator Aspirator
(RIA) for Bone Graft Harvesting, Fractures of the Posterior Tibial
Plateau, Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Proximal Humerus
Fractures, and many more. Features high-quality line drawings,
diagnostic and intraoperative images, and radiographs alongside
expert technical guidance on instrumentation, placement,
step-by-step instructions and more - all supported by best
evidence. Includes practical videos online to support visual
understanding and implementation into practice. A bulleted, highly
templated format allows for quick understanding of surgical
techniques. Outlines positioning, exposures, instrumentation, and
implants to equip you to be more thoroughly prepared for every
procedure. Offers post-operative management guidelines and
discussions of expected outcomes to help you avoid mistakes and
offer quality, patient-focused care. Enhanced eBook version
included with purchase, which allows you to access all of the text,
figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

University commitments to diversity and inclusivity have yet to
translate into support for women of color graduate students.
Sexism, classism, homophobia, racial microaggressions, alienation,
disillusionment, a lack of institutional and departmental support,
limited help from family and partners, imposter syndrome, narrow
reading lists-all remain commonplace. Indifference to the struggles
of women of color in graduate school and widespread dismissal of
their work further poisons an atmosphere that suffocates not only
ambition but a person's quality of life. In Degrees of Difference,
women of color from diverse backgrounds give frank, unapologetic
accounts of their battles-both internal and external-to navigate
grad school and fulfill their ambitions. At the same time, the
authors offer strategies for surviving the grind via stories of
their own hard-won successes with self-care, building supportive
communities, finding like-minded mentors, and resisting racism and
unsupportive faculty and colleagues. Contributors: Aeriel A.

Early descriptions and considerations of the characteristics of
modern eolian sand deposits, mostly in the great sand seas of the
world, date back to the 1880's and 1890's, when pioneer geologists
and explorers wrote their classic papers on desert dunes. One or
two decades later, interest in eolian processes greatly increased
when wind-formed deposits were recognized in ancient sandstones in
many parts of the world and in rocks of many ages. Throughout the
20th century, as the science of geology has expanded and the
programs of the U.S. Geological Survey have proliferated to keep
pace, dune studies have had a similar growth. Work was initially
concentrated mostly on the description of dune forms or morphology
and on analysis of textural features; by midcentury, however, major
contributions had been made to the physics of eolian sand by
detailed studies and interpretations of minor eolian structures, by
statistical analyses of cross-strata dip directions, and by the
development of systems for dune classification. Most recently,
interest has been renewed in detailed grain studies, in the study
of cross-strata, and in interpretation of dune patterns by means of
aerial photographs and Landsat imagery. A major feature of this
report on global sand seas is the compilation and comparison of
available data based on many different methods of investigation.
The application of these studies to economic problems, which is
described in one chapter, clearly illustrates the importance of
eolian deposits to our present culture and to human welfare. H.

Since the Korean War began, Western families have adopted more than
200,000 Korean children. Two-thirds of these adoptees found homes
in the United States. The majority joined white families and in the
process forged a new kind of transnational and transracial kinship.
Kimberly D. McKee examines the growth of the neocolonial,
multi-million-dollar global industry that shaped these families-a
system she identifies as the transnational adoption industrial
complex. As she shows, an alliance of the South Korean welfare
state, orphanages, adoption agencies, and American immigration laws
powered transnational adoption between the two countries. Adoption
became a tool to supplement an inadequate social safety net for
South Korea's unwed mothers and low-income families. At the same
time, it commodified children, building a market that allowed
Americans to create families at the expense of loving, biological
ties between Koreans. McKee also looks at how Christian
Americanism, South Korean welfare policy, and other facets of
adoption interact with and disrupt American perceptions of nation,
citizenship, belonging, family, and ethnic identity.
