This book presents the research of the 'Sydney School' in language
and literacy pedagogy. Widely known as genre-based pedagogy, the
research is cutting-edge, but is built on 30 years of developments
in the field, in a unique collaboration between functional
linguists and literacy educators. This collaboration has
transformed linguistic and pedagogic theory into a powerful,
comprehensive methodology for embedding literacy teaching in
educational practice. The book is written to be useful for
practitioners, researchers and students, building up pedagogic,
linguistic and social theory in steps, contextualized within
teaching practice. Topics covered include the genre-based writing
pedagogy, genres across the school curriculum, pedagogy for
learning through reading, and the pedagogic metalanguage developed
in the research. On one hand this volume offers educators an
unparalleled set of strategies for transforming educational
outcomes; on the other it offers researchers powerful tools for
investigating and redesigning educational practice.
This second edition of the best-selling textbook "Working with
Discourse" has been revised and updated throughout. The book builds
an accessible set of analytic tools that can be used to explore how
speakers and writers construe meaning through discourse. These
techniques are introduced in clear steps, through analyses of
spoken, written and visual texts that focus on truth and
reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa. The new edition
includes a chapter on Negotiation, clear definitions of key terms,
chapter summaries and revised suggestions for further reading.
Accessibly written and presupposing no prior knowledge of discourse
or functional linguistics, this is the ideal textbook for students
encountering discourse analysis for the first time at advanced
undergraduate or postgraduate level.
This book provides an introduction to genre analysis from the
perspective of the 'Sydney School' of functional linguistics.
Chapter 1 introduces our general orientation to genre from the
perspective of system and structure, and places genre within our
general model of language and social context. Chapters 2-5 deal
with five major families of genres (stories, histories, reports,
explanations and procedures), introducing a range of descriptive
tools and theoretical developments along the way. Finally in
Chapter 6 we deal with a range of issues arising for genre analysis
in a model of this kind. The book has been written for a readership
of functional linguists, discourse analysts and educational
linguists, including their post-graduate and advanced undergraduate
students.

A collection of original poems about PTSD and war experiences
written in a poetic format from a Vietnam War veteran.
This volume showcases a range of Reading to Learn (R2L) projects
from around the world in a variety of educational settings in many
different languages. The pedagogy emerged over two decades from a
coalescence of idealism, academic research and teachers'
experience. One ideal shared by everyone involved in R2L has been
to become a more effective teacher, and to help others do so.
Underlying this drive to excel is the democratic ideal that
education should be equally available, inclusive and effective for
every student. In the first chapter David Rose recounts the origins
of R2L in work with Indigenous Australian children, informed by
genre writing and scaffolded reading pedagogies. Three following
chapters celebrate the impact of the methodology in settings of
educational disadvantage in Australian schools. Further chapters
describe the efficacy of the methodology around the world in a
variety of languages, often in very challenging educational
settings. Stories from Africa detail the successes of R2L pedagogy
in South Africa, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. In Europe, a
ground-breaking project to adapt the methodology for the education
of deaf and hearing-impaired students working in Swedish Sign
Language (SSL) is described. Also in Sweden, a long-term project to
train teachers working in disadvantaged schools grew out of the
success of the EU-funded project, Teacher Learning for European
Literacy Education (TeL4ELE). Following chapters describe how the
TeL4ELE project unfolded and spread R2L to Portuguese and Spanish
schools and teacher education. Chapters from the Americas provide
stories of success from a US community education project with
Spanish-speaking mothers learning English, a tertiary setting in
Colombia where the methodology has been used as a cross-faculty
initiative, and a literacy outreach program from a university in
Argentina for teachers from disadvantaged local schools. Final
chapters include an evaluation of the R2L methodology in comparison
with other literacy methods used in Argentina, an analysis of the
R2L methodology for teaching mathematics in Chile and a project to
teach scientific literacy with Indonesian school students, in both
Indonesian and English.
Italian philosophy constitutes one of the most vibrant and fruitful
areas in contemporary thought, bringing extraordinary novelty to
some of the oldest tropes, from human nature to the relation
between political power and life, the thinking of actuality and
potential, and the nature of work and labour. This reader includes
texts by the most renowned thinkers, from Dante and Machiavelli to
Giorgio Agamben, Antonio Negri, and Roberto Esposito, all of which
are introduced by an expert on the particular thinker, and situated
within the context of their work as a whole. The Bloomsbury Italian
Philosophy Reader provides a unique resource for students and
scholars alike, covering the history of Italian thought to the
present day.

The book incorporates three alternative conceptions of class. Erik
Olin Wright's structural Marxist account is set alongside John
Goldthorpe's occupational class schema, and the Registrar-General's
prestige and skill-related categories. The authors use their unique
data on inequality and conflict in contemporary Britain to provide,
for the first time, a rigourous comparison of Marxist, sociological
and official class frameworks. The book ranges widely across such
topics as sectionalism in the workforce; privatism of families and
individuals; fatalism; gender and class processes; sectoral
production and consumption cleavages. The authors conclude that
class is still crucial in structuring economic, political and
social life.
First published in 1988, Social Stratification and Economic Change
brings together, for the first time in textbook form, some of the
most significant work both theoretical and empirical on
stratification in Britain. In part I, David Rose provides on
overview of stratification research, and papers from David
Lockwood, John Goldthorpe, Gordon Marshall, Ray Pahl, and Claire
Wallace tackle key theoretical issues. In part II, six papers
commissioned for the book report on empirical studies and their
implications. By bringing together an outstanding group of authors,
all at the forefront of their field, the book makes an important
contribution to debates on social stratification and will be
invaluable for both students and researchers in sociology.
This timely volume introduces a new social class schema, the
European Socio-economic Classification (ESeC), which has been
specifically developed and tested for use in EU comparative
research. Social Class in Europe aims to introduce researchers to
the new classification and its research potential. Since
socio-economic classifications are so widely used in official and
academic research, this collection is essential reading for all
users of both government and academic social classifications. While
primarily aimed at researchers who will be using the ESeC, the
book's contents will also have a wider appeal as it is suitable for
students taking substantive courses in European studies or as a
supplementary text for undergraduates studying the EU, Sociology
and Economics. Because of its inherent methodological interest, the
book should prove a valuable tool for undergraduate and graduate
courses that discuss how social scientists construct and validate
basic measures. It will also be required reading for policy makers
and analysts concerned with social inequality and social exclusion
across Europe.

In this user-friendly introduction, European and American experts
in the field join forces to explain what panel studies can achieve
and to illustrate some of the potential pitfalls in the
construction and analysis of panel data. Household panel studies
provide one of the most significant national and international
resources for analysing social and economic change. This is an
essential and accessible introduction for those contemplating the
use of panel studies for the first time and will be an invaluable
resource for both practising researchers and the commissioners of
research.

Columbus, Georgia, has been run by the same tiny clique for over
100 years - the members of the all-white Big Eddy Club. This is the
story of a fascinating and rotten community whose victims pay the
ultimate price. Over eight terrifying months in the 1970s, seven
elderly women were raped and murdered in Columbus, Georgia, a city
of 200,000 people whose history and conservative values are typical
of America's Deep South. The victims, who were strangled in their
beds with their own stockings, were affluent and white, while the
police believed from an early stage that the killer was black. In
1986, eight years after the last murder, an African-American,
Carlton Gary, was convicted and sentenced to death. Though many in
Columbus doubt his guilt, he is still on death row. Award-winning
reporter David Rose has followed this case for almost a decade,
while Gary and his lawyers have fought his legal appeals. He has
uncovered important fresh evidence that was hidden from Gary's
trial and that suggests that he is innocent, including a cast of
the killer's teeth, made from a savage bite wound in the last
victim's breast. However, as Rose's investigation proceeded, he
came to realise that the dark saga of the Columbus stocking
stranglings only makes sense against the background of the city's
bloodstained history of racism, lynching and unsolved, politically
motivated murder. 'Violation' is a tense and gripping drama, its
pages filled with evocatively drawn characters, insidious
institutions and the extraordinary connections that bind the past
and present. A unique melange of investigative journalism, true
crime mystery, personal travelogue and historical scoop, the book
is also a compelling, accessible and timely exploration of
America's approach to race and criminal justice, addressing the
corruption of legal due process as a tool of racial oppression.
Review of the hardback edition: 'There are some very thought
provoking findings here. While ideologues of neither thge left nor
the right will discover much ammunition form their causes, those
who expect sociologists to give us an objective account of the
structure of our society and how it is changing will find this
essential and very rewarding reading. The publication of this book,
by any standards, represents a major landmark in the development of
British social research. - Times Higher Education Supplement ..."It
is a modern scholarly monogragh, sharply focused on issues of
importance, technically competent, clear and well written. This is
the first paperback edition of a book widely acclaimed upon first
publication as a major contribution to the study of contemporary
British class structure. The book incorporates three alternative
conceptions of class. Erik Olin Wright's structural Marxist account
is set alongside John Goldthorpe's occupational class schema, and
the Registrar-General's prestige and skill-related categories. The

Praised as a “tour-de-force deconstruction of Bush’s supermax
gulag” (San Diego Union Tribune) when first published in
hardcover, Guantánamo makes shocking allegations about the
infamous U.S. detention camp in Cuba. Award-winning journalist
David Rose argues that the camp not only constitutes a grotesque
abuse of human rights but is also ineffective as a tool for
combating terrorism. Through firsthand research in Cuba, government
documents, and dozens of interviews with guards, intelligence
officials, military lawyers, and former detainees, Rose sheds light
on Gitmo’s ugly inner workings. He reveals that, contrary to the
Bush administration’s claims, the prisoners at Guantánamo are
not “the hardest of the hard-core” Al Qaeda terrorists,
ruthless men “involved in a plot to kill thousands of ordinary
Americans.” And he provides solid evidence that the brutal
interrogations that supposedly justify the camp’s existence have
yielded very little useful intelligence.
Metaphysics, almost entirely neglected by experimental
philosophers, is the central focus of Experimental Metaphysics. The
volume brings together a range of views aimed at addressing the
question of how cognitive science might be relevant to metaphysics.
With contributions from cognitive scientists and philosophers,
chapters focus on theoretical and empirical issues involving the
potential role of cognitive science in metaphysics. Alongside
topics such as free will, objects and causation, in which relevant
empirical evidence is discussed and connected to relevant
metaphysical issues, more programmatic papers explore theoretical
issues centered on the connection between cognitive science and
metaphysics. This balanced approach exposes metaphysicians to
philosophically relevant work in cognitive science, while showing
cognitive scientists the ways in which their work might be
important for philosophers. Presenting cutting-edge empirical and
theoretical research, Experimental Metaphysics pushes forward the
discussion and encourages further engagement with issues at the
intersection of cognitive science and metaphysics.
