In the controversy over the reporting of the Falklands conflict,
criticism focused on the media's use of armchair strategists to
interpret and speculate about operations in the South Atlantic.
Valerie Adams sets that media commentary in an historical
perspective and examines its actual content to see whether the
criticism was justified and whether the material actually helped to
inform the public about the actions undertaken on their behalf. The
issues raised in wartime by the relationship between the media, the
government and the public in a democracy are explored: the
Falklands' problems appear insignificant set against potential
future difficulties.
A series to meet the need for books on modern English that are both
up-to-date and authoritative.For the scholar, the teacher, the
student and the general reader, but especially for English-speaking
students of language and linguistics in institutions where English
is the language of instruction, or advanced specialist students of
English in universities where English is taught as a foreign
language
Complex Words in English presents a comprehensive account of
present-day word formation in English. Starting with a discussion
of some basic issues, including the definition of 'word',
motivation, lexicalization, productivity, the relevance of
historical information and the usefulness of dictionaries and other
data-bases, the book then moves on to describe in detail a variety
of prefixing, suffixing and compounding patterns - all illustrated
with copious up-to-date examples. Other topics that are explored
in-depth include diminutives, backformation and other effects of
reanalysis, Latin and Greek based formations and sound symbolism.
Many examples are given in context: recent writing and the records
of OED on CD ROM are drawn on to demonstrate the relationship
between spontaneous coinages and familiar items. The comprehensive
coverage allows an instructive overview and comparison of patterns
and of the many and diverse factors relevant to the notion of
productivity. Throughout, the discussions are placed in the context
of other recent and less recent work in the area and the book also
contains a useful extensive bibliography.
Walking on the Grass brings to life women's experiences during
their doctoral study and the experiences of women who supervise
doctoral students. Sensations, reflections, and imaginations emerge
through memories, histories, and different ways of narrating
academic journeys. This book examines in depth, the emotional and
embodied nature of writing, supervising, and inter-subjective
learning. It makes visible ethics of care required in that liminal
space in which supervisors and doctoral scholars work to shape and
give confidence to the becoming academic. The book works through
the politics of gender, sexuality, age, class, and ethnicity to
understand meanings inherent in doctoral and supervisory
relationships, reasons for entering academe, and how academic
writing obtains form and content. The significance of the book is
its contribution to understanding academic thesis writing as
complex emotional and embodied gendered labor rather than an
instrumental activity in which to earn the title of Doctor of
Philosophy.

to man, you are sure to get an answer. It may not be the answer you
want, but God is always speaking if you're listening. In every
