In Amazonian Quichua Language and Life: Introduction to Grammar,
Ecology, and Discourse from Pastaza and Upper Napo, Janis B.
Nuckolls and Tod D. Swanson discuss two varieties of Quichua, an
indigenous Ecuadorian language. Drawing on their linguistic and
anthropological knowledge, extensive fieldwork, and personal
relationships with generations of speakers from Pastaza and Napo
communities, the authors open a door into worlds of intimate
meaning that knowledge of Quichua makes accessible. Nuckolls and
Swanson link grammatical lessons with examples of naturally
occurring discourse, traditional narratives, conversations, songs,
and personal experiences to teach readers about the languages'
structures and discourse patterns and speakers' sensory depictions,
ecological aesthetics, and emotional perspectives.

A Spiral Approach to Financial Mathematics lays a foundation of
intuitive analysis of financial concepts early in the course,
followed by a more detailed and nuanced treatment in later
chapters. It introduces major financial concepts through real
situations, integrates active learning, student focused
explorations and examples with Excel spreadsheets and
straightforward financial calculations. It is organized so sections
can be read independently or through in-class guided-discovery
activities and/or interactive lectures. Focusing on conceptual
understanding to maximize comprehension and retention, using modern
financial analysis tools and utilizing active learning, the book
offers a modern approach that eliminates tedious and time-consuming
calculations initially without underestimating the ability of
readers.
