This book examines the impact of globalization on languages in contact, including the study of linkages between the global and local, and transnational and situated communication. It engages with social theory and social processes while grappling with questions of language analysis raised by globalized language contact. Drawing on case studies from North America, Europe and Africa, the volume makes three important contributions to contemporary sociolinguistics by: * arguing that concepts of scale and space are essential for understanding contemporary sociolinguistic phenomena * showing that the transnational flows and movements of peoples highlight the problem and work of identity in relation to both place and time * addressing methodological challenges raised by different approaches to the study of globalization and language contact. This cutting-edge monograph featuring research by renowned international contributors will be of interest to academics researching sociolinguistics, and language and globalization.

For a number of years I have collected stories. My criteria for saving a story was always what I thought of as "Tears In My Heart," and I must admit most of those resulted in tears on my cheeks. This is a selection of some of those stories. Ones I would like to share with others. Some stories are true and others are illustrations, but, all have been used by God to touch my heart when I needed Him most. Always to remind me of His "Great Love" and to remind me to thank Him and praise Him for the blessings of the family and friends that He has sent me to encourage me and give me hope and faith in Him and "HOPE" in the future. It is my prayer that perhaps through these stories the Spirit of God will put "Tears in Your Heart" also and remind you of God's great LOVE for you and your "HOPE" for the future.

Developing a new synthesis of literacy studies, this book explores the domain of power through questions of colonialism, modern state formation, educational systems and official versus popular literacies.

The Native Tolowa of Northern California were displaced and nearly destroyed in the nineteenth century, but they have since struggled to reclaim their language and collective identity. Today they are emerging as a cohesive cultural and political group. In Understanding Tolowa Histories, James Collins presents a complex historical inquiry into the Tolowa, Native American responses to U.S. domination, and Enlightenment political legacies. He incisively analyzes the relation between cultural otherness and political-economic subjugation, the complexities of history and identity, and the discursive dynamics of claiming a place and resisting displacement. In the process, he situates the Tolowa in the larger context of U.S. and Indian histories while developing a critique of contemporary anthropology.

Is love at first sight possible or just an old-fashioned romantic idea? And what if, to further complicate things, you meet the love of your life and then lose her phone number? "Then "what if, after the impossible happens and you find her again, she's now about to marry a roguish lothario who is also your best friend?

Part modern-day Jane Austen, part Tom Wolfe, "Beginner's Greek" is a romantic comedy of the highest order, with characters who are perfectly, charmingly real as they swerve and stumble from fairy tale to social satire and back again.

Fusion: The Performance of Architecture explores the work of award-winning, Boston-based architecture firm Payette, a leader in the design of complex settings for science and healthcare. Payette's work embodies the integration of design and performance that is essential to the creation of humane and sustainable buildings of any type. To achieve this integration amidst the programmatic intricacy, technological complexity, and intense energy use of hospitals and laboratories, the firm draws on its almost ninety-year history of progressive innovation. It draws, as well, on an inclusive, collaborative, research-oriented culture that is a model for the profession. Fusion presents Payette's philosophy and traces the firm's contributions through concise histories of laboratory and hospital design. It explores the core principles that underlie its work - Identity and Transformation, Materiality and Craft, Taming Complexity and Measuring Performance - and digs deeply into seven of the firm's most recent projects. Other chapters describe the process of nurturing the design excellence and practice culture that earned Payette the 2019 AIA Architecture Firm Award. The monograph's 400 diagrams, drawings, and photographs reveal the firm's principles and methods, along with the open-source tools it has developed to enable it to design, not "by the numbers," but with the numbers. A gallery of architectural "fingerprints" presents plan views of more than 100 of Payette's projects, drawn to a common scale. With a preface by Z Smith, Director of Sustainability and Building Performance at EskewDumezRipple, and an introduction from Kevin Sullivan, President of Payette, Fusion includes essays by Sullivan and partners James Collins, George Marsh, Leon Drachman, Andrea Love and Peter Vieira, as well as a critical reflection by Mark Lee, Chair of the Department of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
