Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of
language study and are one-stop resources for students. Assuming no
prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview
of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses,
commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume. The
innovative and flexible 'two dimensional' structure is built around
four sections - introduction, development, exploration and
extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic
can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to
build gradually on the knowledge gained. Each book in the series
has a companion website with extra resources for teachers,
lecturers and students. Discourse Analysis: * provides a
comprehensive overview of the major approaches to and
methodological tools used in discourse analysis; * introduces both
traditional perspectives on the analysis of texts and talk as well
as more recent approaches that address technologically mediated and
multimodal discourse; * incorporates practical examples using real
data; * includes articles from key authors in the field, including
Jan Blommaert, William Labov, Paul Baker, Penelope Brown and
Stephen Levinson. Features of the new edition include: new readings
featuring cutting-edge research; updated references; revised and
refreshed examples; and a wider range of material from social media
that includes Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. Written by an
experienced teacher and author, this accessible textbook is
essential reading for all students of English language and
linguistics.
The African Struggle for Independent Education focuses on the
Wilberforce Institute, one of the first major independent African
schools in segregationist South Africa. It became the epicentre of
the independent school movement in the Transvaal in the early
twentieth century, demonstrating how newly urbanised
mission-educated Africans, despite profound linguistic differences
and regional backgrounds, shared far-reaching educational
aspirations in the rapidly growing cosmopolitan, gold-driven
Johannesburg after the South African War (1899-1902).

This book examines the foundation of the London Jews Society (LJS)
in 1809, and the construction of Palestine Place in 1813 at Bethnal
Green in East London. The early supporters of the LJS from 1815
were Anglican Evangelicals, including William Wilberforce and
Charles Simeon. A mission centre was established at Palestine Place
on a five-acre site, which incorporated an Episcopal Jews' Chapel;
separate schools for boys and girls; staff houses; a missionary
training college and a House of Industry, which provided work for
converted Jews, especially by printing leaflets and books.
Christian Philosemitism is a new genre of research into the
development of the positive response by Evangelicals towards the
Jews from the Puritan era. Lewis Way has been chosen as the leading
example of Evangelical Anglican philosemitism between 1810 and
1840. The London Jews Society (LJS) was founded in 1809, Way was
actively involved from 1811 and his substantial financial gift
rescued the Society from ruin in 1815. Christian Philosemitism
developed from the Puritan period and was strengthened by the
Readmission of the Jews in 1656. A new impetus was given at the end
of the eighteenth century, when in the challenging context of the
social, religious and political upheaval in England following the
French Revolution the LJS was founded.
This catalogue describes MSS 1-247 and 298 in the Chapter Library
of Lincoln Cathedral, plus ten former Lincoln MSS now elsewhere.
About half of the MSS were part of the cathedral's medieval
Library; nearly all the rest came there before the late seventeenth
century. Among the MSS, which date from the eighth to the early
sixteenth century, are biblical commentaries and sermons, works of
pastoral theology and an important corpus of Middle English texts,
including the famous Thornton Romances. A group of MSS written at
the Cathedral c.1100 is notable for its distinctive decoration. The
Catalogue is preceded by a history of the Cathedral Library, based
on the rich documentary evidence, which includes two medieval
catalogues. The plates illustrate bindings, ownership marks,
important decoration and noteworthy script, including samples from
all signed and dated books.

With incisive critical ana lysis and historical examples, "The
Great Crash Ahead "lays bare the traditional assumptions of
economics, outlining why the next financial crash and crisis is
inevitable, and just around the corner-- coming between mid-2012
and early 2015. Widely respected in the financial world for his
accurate forecasts, Harry S. Dent, Jr., shows that the government
doesn't drive our economy, consumers and businesses do; that the
Fed does not create most of the money in our economy, the private
banking system does. This necessary and illuminating book gives
very clear strategies for prospering in the challenging decade
ahead . . . a world turned upside down.
The rise and fall of Manchester City's Young Guvnors mirrored the
government's attempts to get to grips with the escalating violence
at football matches throughout the 1980s. Here Rodney Rhoden, one
of the youngest members of this feared group of supporters, recalls
the police tactics that ended The Young Guvnors reign of terror.
"This is my story". The story of the Young Guvnors. "The Young
Guvnors fought not only on the streets of Manchester against their
fellow hooligans but with other firms up and down the country. We
sought out rival fans to fight - to say it is not a pleasant story
is an understatement. "From our formation in the mid 1980s when
organized football hooliganism was at an all time high its a
vicious account of how we operated our bloody battles with opposing
mobs and ultimately about our demise."
