This volume responds to a growing interest in the language of legal settings by situating the study of language and law within contemporary theoretical debates in discourse studies, linguistic anthropology, and sociolinguistics. The chapters in the collection explore many of the common occasions when those acting on behalf of the legal system, such as the police, lawyers and judges, interact with those coming into contact with the legal system, such as suspects and witnesses. However the chapters do this work through the conceptual lens of 'textual travel', or the way that texts move across space and time and are transformed along the way. Collectively, notions of textual travel shed new light on the ways in which texts can influence, and are influenced by, social and legal life. With contributions from leading experts in language and law, Legal-Lay Communication explores such 'textual travel' themes as the mediating role of technologies in the investigatory stages of the legal process, the centrality of intertextuality in the legal construction of cases in court, the transformative effects of recontextualization in processes of judicial decision-making, and the way that processes of textual travel disturb the apparent permanence of legal categorization. The book challenges both the notion of legal text as a static repository of meaning and the very idea of legal-lay or lay-legal communication.

ROMA OMNIA VINCIT is the first book from Roman street artists JB Rock and Diamond. It has been done in a flip over style with two covers, on one side Diamond, on the other JB Rock. They are friends and collaborators and they work both together and alone. Each artist has his own technique, style, and perspective, however their work on the street often parallels the other. Their work is a true reflection of their street art attitude, which can be seen in their style and dedication to their work and designs. The process of creation can be followed from conception in the studio to the adhesion to the walls, which passes through the realization of the poster and stencil techniques. This leads to the meanderings of Street Art, not only a mere practice but also in its execution. The two artists and their two different approaches lead to questioning the values and the differences between exposition in a gallery and position on the street. The book, in its flip over style can be read from either direction, front to back it focuses on the work of one artists and from back to front on the work of the other. In the middle the works are fused together in critical texts that explain and contextualize this movement in an amplified vision that comprehends the landscape of contemporary art.Their art nouveau inspiration, mixed with decorative icons and rugged style, often comprised of exquisitely tattooed ladies who have been transported to a 1920s beauty pageant or transformed into Ancient Roman icons that recall the history of the Eternal City. This book contains something extremely new for street art lovers to understand and experience.

Prior to 1979, China had a bifurcated and geographically-dispersed industrial structure made up of a relatively small number of large-scale, state-owned enterprises in various industries alongside numerous small-scale, energy-intensive and polluting enterprises. Economic reforms beginning in 1979 led to the rapid expansion of these small-scale manufacturing enterprises in numerous energy-intensive industries such as aluminum, cement, iron and steel, and pulp and paper. Subsequently, the government adopted a new industrial development strategy labeled "grasp the large, let go the small." The aims of this new policy were to close many of the unprofitable, small-scale manufacturing plants in these (and other) industries, create a small number of large enterprises that could compete with OECD multinationals, entice these larger enterprises to engage in high-speed technological catch-up, and save energy. China's Technological Catch-Up Strategy traces the impact of this new industrial development strategy on technological catch-up, energy use, and CO2 emissions. In doing so, the authors explore several detailed, enterprise-level case studies of technological catch-up; develop industry-wide estimates of energy and CO2 savings from specific catch-up interventions; and present detailed econometric work on the determinants of energy intensity. The authors conclude that China's strategy has contributred to substantial energy and CO2 savings, but it has not led to either a peaking of or a decline in CO2 emissions in these industries. More work is needed to cap and reduce China's CO2 emissions.

In this book, eCoaching pioneer Marcia Rock draws on best-practice research and decades of experience to offer a blueprint for professional development that maximizes teacher and student growth.The eCoaching Continuum for Educators provides teachers, administrators, and other school professionals a step-by-step guide to the four connected, coordinated components of technology-enabled professional development: (1) studying theory and practice to build knowledge of specific content and pedagogy; (2) observing theory and practice to aid in the transfer of new knowledge to classroom practice; (3) one-on-one coaching to give teachers the feedback they need to improve classroom practice; and (4) group coaching to build capacity for identifying and solving problems of professional practice. Rock offers a practical approach for putting professional development where it can do the most good-in the classroom. You'll learn: Why technology is so well suited for authentic, job-embedded professional development. How to cultivate a culture in which the eCoaching continuum can have the greatest impact. Which technologies are the most useful for carrying out eCoaching in a variety of settings. How to capture and evaluate the impact of eCoaching on teachers and students. The eCoaching Continuum for Educators integrates best practice in coaching for professional development with a detailed account of how teachers and other school professionals can use today's technologies to improve their practice and ensure their students are fully engaged and learning.
