Published in 1981, this book describes and critically examines the
standardised tests and modes of assessment available and most
commonly used by speech therapists, psychologists and
educationalists. Tests and other assessment procedures are
discussed and therapeutic strategies suggested. Thus,
psycholinguistic approaches such as ITPA, the Reynell Developmental
Language Scales and the Aston Index; linguistic techniques such as
LARSP and phonological assessments are described, and adult
disorders as well as childhood problems, are reviewed. There is
also a brief consideration of the problem of assessing the language
of those not speaking English as a first language. The book serves
as a core text for student speech therapists and also as a
reference for those practicing or researching in speech therapy,
special education and linguistic pathology.

Transboundary Policy Challenges in the Pacific Border Regions of
North America responds to a growing interest in borderlands
environmental policy by highlighting significant transboundary
research and practices being undertaken within and across the
Pacific border regions of North America. The issues explored here
reveal how intricate and interrelated social, economic, and
environmental concerns have become, particularly along borders, as
Canada, Mexico, and the United States collectively search for
sustainable solutions. Growing concern about the seriousness of
environmental problems, particularly in high-growth border areas,
coupled with the rising awareness of the complexities entailed in
wise development decisions, has spurred recognition that new
realities require new responses. Critical for effective
environmental protection, restoration, and education is a sharing
of understanding and effort across borders. Transboundary Policy
Challenges in the Pacific Border Regions of North America
highlights advances in transborder environmental research and
discusses sensible policy directions with particular focus on
critical areas of international concern and engagement: land and
water use planning; regional growth management; trade and
transportation corridors; environmental education; and travel and
tourism. With Contributions By: J.C. Day Donald K. Alper K.S.

This study focuses upon the language of the Song of Songs in an
attempt to see how individual images work together in the
constitution of a poetic unity. The perception of certain
'imaginative fields', each of which organizes a range of related
imagery, is helpful to an appreciation of the symbolic density
which certain images acquire in the course of the Song's movement
and to an acknowledgment of their capacity for narrativity.
After apartheid, South Africa established a celebrated new
political order that imagined the postcolonial nation as belonging
equally to the descendents of indigenous people, colonizing
settlers, transported slaves, indentured laborers, and immigrants.
Its constitution, adopted in 1996, was the first in the world to
include gays and lesbians as full citizens. Brenna M. Munro
examines the stories that were told about sexuality, race, and
nation throughout the struggle against apartheid in order to
uncover how these narratives ultimately enabled gay people to
become imaginable as fellow citizens. She also traces how the gay,
lesbian, or bisexual person appeared as a stock character in the
pageant of nationhood during the transition to democracy. In the
process, she offers an alternative cultural history of South
Africa. Munro asserts that the inclusion of gay people made South
Africans feel OC modernOCOOCoat least for a while. Being gay or
being lesbian was reimagined in the 1990s as distinctly South
African, but the OC newnessOCO that made these sexualities apt
symbols for a transformed nation can also be understood as foreign
and un-African. Indeed, a Western-style gay identity is often
interpreted through the formula OC gay equals modernity equals
capitalism.OCO As South AfricaOCOs reentrance into the global
economy has failed to bring prosperity to the majority of its
citizens, homophobic violence has been on the rise. Employing a
wide array of textsOCoincluding prison memoirs, poetry, plays,
television shows, photography, political speeches, and the
postapartheid writings of Nobel Laureates Nadine Gordimer and J. M.
CoetzeeOCoMunro reports on how contemporary queer activists and
artists are declining to remain ambassadors for the OC rainbow
nationOCO and refusing to become scapegoats for the perceived
failures of liberation and liberalism.
