This book applies the techniques of systemic functional grammar to
the description of the Old English historical dialect, 650-1150 CE.
Systemic functional grammar is an approach to the description of
language which distinguishes three separate functions in
communication: language as representation, language as attitude,
and language as the construction of text. Most applications of
systemic functional theory have concentrated on modern English.
This book is the first comprehensive description of the Old English
dialect on systemic functional principles. The book begins with an
outline of systemic functional grammatical theory. It then
describes the Old English clause with a separate grammar for each
of the three general functions it serves, the representational, the
attitudinal, and the text-formative. Other areas covered include
structures and functions within nominal, verbal and adverbial
groups; relationships among clauses; embedding; and cohesion. The
book is thus designed to suit the needs of systemic functional
grammarians who are interested in the historical development of the
English language. It is also designed for students of Old English
who are looking for ways of explaining the grammatical system of
Old English on terms other than those of traditional grammar.

In this novel for young adults, Josh knows there is something about
the tall Victorian House on the Harpers Ferry Hill, the one his
father grew up in, that he can't quite put his finger on. And his
impossible father won't give him any clues. He's hiding something.
And then there's the famous John Brown. The one who all the
tourists come to hear about. The one whose statue looms over Josh's
house. Why does he seem to haunt Josh and his whole family? When
the fancy Richmonds come to town and move right next door, their
presence forces Josh to find the answers and stand up to the
secrets of the House, to his father-and to John Brown, too. The
historic village of Harpers Ferry comes alive in this young boy's
brave search for answers and a place of his own in this brilliant
first novel by John Michael Cummings.

Jason Stevens is growing up in picturesque, historic Harpers
Ferry, West Virginia in the 1970s. Back when the roads are smaller,
the cars slower, the people more colorful, and Washington, D.C. is
way across the mountains--a winding sixty-five miles away.
Jason dreams of going to art school in the city, but he must first
survive his teenage years. He witnesses a street artist from Italy
charm his mother from the backseat of the family car. He stands up
to an abusive husband--and then feels sorry for the jerk. He puts
up with his father's hard-skulled backwoods ways, his grandfather's
showy younger wife, and the fist-throwing schoolmates and eccentric
mountain characters that make up Harpers Ferry--all topped off by a
basement art project with a girl from the poor side of town. "Ugly
to Start With" punctuates the exuberant highs, bewildering
midpoints, and painful lows of growing up, and affirms that
adolescent dreams and desires are often fulfilled in surprising
ways.
Currently there is a movement in linguistics towards careful use of
corpora in linguistic and text analysis, which has involved both
written and spoken corpora and those which combine spoken and
written text. Most text analyses address written texts - often
literary works - but detailed discussion of the language of a
single oral text from multiple perspectives has rarely been
published. This book is among the first to integrate the analysis
of the language of spoken and written texts. It describes language
as a network of functional relations involving a context which is
also a network of functional relations. The essays in Part One
present several perspectives on the theory of language as
functional relations; those in Part Two discuss a single oral text
using a variety of functional perspectives. All of the essays are
by linguists interested in oral and written texts, who have
achieved international recognition in their fields. Illustrated in
this book are cognitive, social construction, social praxis and
anthropological approaches to the description of text.

This full-color, practical handbook provides a concise,
evidence-based psychopharmacological approach to the management of
complex treatment-resistant psychotic disorders. Part I focuses
uniquely on topics and strategies relevant to treating this
challenging patient population. These approaches go beyond standard
guidelines while adhering to research and clinically derived data.
Part II provides a concise array of information regarding those
classes of medications most commonly used when treating complex
treatment-resistant psychotic disorders. Each medication guide
contains sections including mechanisms of action, typical treatment
response, monitoring, dosing and kinetics, medications to avoid in
combination/warnings, and take-home pearls. Part III offers tips in
brief appendix chapters for managing common issues ranging from
loading lithium and valproic acid to the treatment of acute
psychomotor agitation. An essential resource for psychiatrists,
forensic clinicians, psychiatric trainees, and all mental health
professionals involved with, or interested in, the treatment of
challenging psychotic disorders.
Stunned by the death of his mentally ill brother,
forty-two-year-old Mark Barr returns to his hometown in West
Virginia for his brother's funeral only to find out that his
estranged family has no such plans. Once back home, he discovers
that his family's memory, as well as his own, of his brother as a
broken, hopeless schizophrenic is belied by mounting evidence that
Steve Barr had lived a much fuller and more complicated life. Armed
with this new knowledge, Mark tears off on a mission to honor his
brother's memory with justice and compassion. As he fights to
change the hearts of his father, mother, and middle brother, all of
whom are fractured by anger, blame, and dysfunction, his own
stability is rocked apart. In tough, spare, beautiful language that
pulls the reader into the peeling, gothic world of southern West
Virginia, Don't Forget Me, Bro shows us that at the heart of every
human existence is the ultimate fear of being forgotten, of simply
being gone.
Facilitated Growth: Experiential Activities for Recovery and
Wellness is designed for those facilitators and professionals who
work with people in the process of recovery and wellness. It is
filled with useful tools and activities that are sure to liven up
your programming. Facilitated Growth: Experiential Activities for
Recovery and Wellness by Michelle Cummings, Marc Pimsler, and Diane
Sherman offers: A new energy and excitement for your recovery and
wellness work. Experiential activities to provide an opportunity to
intentionally surface behaviors or scenarios that happen in the
real world in a more controlled environment. A process to walk

A compass can be used in many ways, from telling which way is North
to finding hidden treasure or following an unmarked path over
wilderness terrain. In any conflict, you have to get your bearings
on what happened in order to best determine how to resolve the
issue. Conflict is inevitable, and despite how many of us feel
about it, conflict is not always a bad thing. The activities
in Setting the Conflict Compass: Activities for Conflict Resolution
and Prevention will help participants become aware of how they
perceive and deal with conflict, while gaining tools and techniques
for increasing collaboration, resolving disputes, and ultimately
finding win/win resolutions to workplace and classroom conflicts.
Having strategies for dealing with conflict are essential to
healthy relationships. Setting the Conflict Compass explores these
strategies and present a framework for conflict management. This
framework can be described as an experiential learning approach for
helping individuals understand the influence of contextual factors
and perspective in conflict resolution and management. Setting the
Conflict Compass: Activities for Conflict Resolution and Prevention
examines and discusses: Â Assumptions about Conflict
Experiential Activities for Conflict Resolution Recognizing Others'
Points of View Methods to Resolve and Diminish Conflict Perspective
