"Reading this volume transported me back to Harvard and MIT lecture
halls of the 1960s, where weekly Roman Jakobson would spellbind his
audience (this reviewer included), developing his vision of
language through impassioned exposition, deft and devastating
allusions to critical literature, anecdotes with the force of
parables, metaphors of mythic imagery, and above all else
overriding verbal artistry: truly in his own phrase, 'In the poetry
of grammar'. The Sound Shape of Language, his collaboration with
Linda R. Waugh, a scholar who has devoted considerable attention to
an exposition and elaboration of Jakobsonian views, fortunately has
preserved in print the authoritative lectorial voice." Michael
Silverstein in Journal of Communication
NEW! Now in full color! With its distinctive investigative approach
to learning, this best-selling laboratory manual is now more
engaging than ever, with full-color art and photos throughout. As
always, the lab manual encourages students to participate in the
process of science and develop creative and critical-reasoning
skills. The Eighth Edition includes major revisions that reflect
new molecular evidence and the current understanding of
phylogenetic relationships for plants, invertebrates, protists, and
fungi. The sequence of the lab topics has been reorganized to
reflect the closer relationship of the fungi and animal kingdoms. A
new lab topic, "Fungi," has been added, providing expanded coverage
of the major fungi groups. The "Protists" lab topic has been
revised and expanded with additional examples of all the major
clades. Both lab topics include suggestions and exercises for
open-inquiry investigations. In the new edition, population
genetics is covered in one lab topic with new problems and examples
that connect ecology, evolution, and genetics.
Students can master key concepts and earn a better grade with the
thought-provoking exercises found in this study guide. A wide range
of questions and activities helps students test their understanding
of biology.

Thucydides, Pericles, and the Idea of Athens in the Peloponnesian
War is the first comprehensive study of Thucydides' presentation of
Pericles' radical redefinition of the city of Athens during the
Peloponnesian War. Martha Taylor argues that Thucydides subtly
critiques Pericles' vision of Athens as a city divorced from the
territory of Attica and focused, instead, on the sea and the
empire. Thucydides shows that Pericles' reconceputalization of the
city led the Athenians both to Melos and to Sicily. Toward the end
of his work, Thucydides demonstrates that flexible thinking about
the city exacerbated the Athenians' civil war. Providing a thorough
critique and analysis of Thucydides' neglected book 8, Taylor shows
that Thucydides praises political compromise centered around the
traditional city in Attica. In doing so, he implicitly censures
both Pericles and the Athenian imperial project itself.

After suffering a stroke and the onset of aphasia Dr. Ruth Resch
engaged successfully in the difficult process of separating the
'verbal mind' from the visual mind, thereby providing a platform
for arousing previously enjoyed pleasures in painting, drawing, and
music. These evolved as places of rest and avenues of healing
fulfillment. As a person with aphasia she found no comparable
equivalent in the world of words. Her expression through art
translated into a feeling of balance, an adaptation through the
creation of pleasure, which she views as central to the life of
recovery. Dr. Resch describes her quest for meaningfulness in all
aspects of daily life and how she has learned to use the
environment as a source of fulfillment and well being. Her ability
to connect with the ever-changing natural environment has provided
easy access to a stimulating non-verbal world. Readers at all
levels, patients, students, and clinicians, will gain a deeper
understanding of the inner life of someone with aphasia. We are
grateful to Dr. Resch for sharing her innermost feelings in
describing her long journey in the quest for a new life. Her
courage, integrity, and passion for the human spirit are an
inspiration to us all.
What does it take for you to Count Yourself In? In this innovative
book, Lesley Ann Taylor takes you through a model for living life
that you practice while developing the everyday skill of cooking.
Believing that we all want to take control of our lives to get the
things that we want, she shows how it begins with moving up to
choose to choose, moving on to choosing what we want, and moving
into getting our dreams. This is ingeniously done with a Feast of
Choice paradigm at the beginning of what turns out to be a cookbook
in which you are encouraged to go on and play with Cooking
Catalysts (aka recipes) that are not to be followed but to be
changed. In the process, you change and become more able to take a
bolder leap and a surer stand with more favourable results from
wherever your starting point in the kitchen, and more powerfully in
the game of life itself. This is a book for anyone who wants to
simply learn how to cook with confidence in any kitchen with
whatever food is to hand. It is also a book for anyone who wants to
begin to understand how to live with confidence in any place with
whatever adventure is to hand. It is about seizing the choice that
is yours, to use what you've got, to get what you want. A must read
for anyone who wants to take ordinary things from ordinary places
and get remarkable results.
