Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is an increasingly
popular educational approach given its dual focus on enabling
learners to acquire subject-matter through an additional language,
while learning this second language in tandem with content. This
handbook provides a comprehensive overview of recent CLIL
developments, illustrating how CLIL has been uniquely
conceptualized and practiced across educational and geographical
contexts. Divided into six sections, covering language and language
teaching, core themes and issues, contexts and learners, CLIL in
practice, CLIL around the world and a final section looking forward
to future research directions, every chapter provides a balanced
discussion of the benefits, challenges and implications of this
approach. Representing the same diversity and intercultural
understanding that CLIL features, the chapters are authored by
established as well as early-career academics based around the
world. The Routledge Handbook of Content and Language Integrated
Learning is the essential guide to CLIL for advanced students and
researchers of applied linguistics, education and TESOL.

Celebrate the special bond between fun-loving moms and their lucky
kids in this tribute from the bestselling creators behind Because
I'm Your Dad, Ahmet Zappa and Dan Santat. What's the best kind of
mom? The kind of mom who lets you have nachos for breakfast, goes
skateboarding with you at the beach, and does the dinosaur dance
with you under the full moon. But best of all, she kisses away your
owies, wishes upon a shooting star for you, and loves you
always...for exactly who you are. Ahmet Zappa, son of legendary
rock star Frank Zappa, was inspired by his own wife and son to
write this ode to moms everywhere and the unique bonds they have
with their kids-perfect for Mother's Day and all year round.
The brash and outrageously funny autobiography of music legend
Frank Zappa--now in trade paperback. Here is the real story of how

it: wild rock 'n' roll road stories, confrontations with
bureaucratic idiocy, and more. Black-and-white photographs and line
drawings throughout.

"A movie for your ears" is how rock icon Frank Zappa first described his album Hot Rats, which remains, 50 years after its release, not only one of Zappa's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, but a stunning tour-de-force of the totality of his musical genius and legendary skills as a composer, lyricist, producer, arranger, studio innovator and virtuoso guitar player. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this much-loved LP, Ahmet Zappa and the Zappa Trust have teamed with Backbeat Books and Bill Gubbins, the only photographer to document the Hot Rats sessions, to create The Hot Rats Book, a deluxe, commemorative book packed with never-been-seen-before photos and an interview between Ahmet Zappa and Bill Gubbins documenting the Hot Rats sessions and last U.S. show of the original Mothers of Invention on August 10, 1969 at Cleveland's Musicarnival in Warrensville Heights, Ohio.
The Hot Rats Book is an official Frank Zappa book produced and written with the full cooperation and endorsement of the Zappa Trust.
New Media and Religious Transformations in Africa casts a critical
look at Africa's rapidly evolving religious media scene. Following
political liberalization, media deregulation, and the proliferation
of new media technologies, many African religious leaders and
activists have appropriated such media to strengthen and expand
their communities and gain public recognition. Media have also been
used to marginalize and restrict the activities of other groups,
which has sometimes led to tension, conflict, and even violence.
Showing how media are rarely neutral vehicles of expression, the
contributors to this multidisciplinary volume analyze the mutual
imbrications of media and religion during times of rapid
technological and social change in various places throughout
Africa.

Frank Zappa was an unremitting musical innovator and experimenter
always looking for ways to exploit the latest advances in
technology. His working life coincided with the explosive
development of music technology that ran from the 1960s through the
following three decades. Without such inventions as the Marshall
amplifier the Gibson SG the wah-wah pedal and the Synclavier-much
of it modified to his requirements and used in ways for which they
had never been designed-Zappa's air sculptures as his music has
been described would have had a significantly different shape and
texture. Lavishly illustrated-including over 180 unique photographs
of Frank Zappa's guitars and equipment taken by the author at his
UMRK studio in LA and featuring a foreword by Dweezil Zappa-Zappa's
Gear offers an unprecedented inside look at the machinery behind
the legendary music. In addition to a detailed presentation of the
equipment Zappa's Gear also introduces some of the pioneering
inventors, engineers and entrepreneurs without whom the instruments
would not exist. Zappa's Gear is an official Frank Zappa book
produced and written with the full cooperation and endorsement of
Gail Zappa and the Zappa Family Trust.

America Throne is living the good life in L.A. Her career is sprouting, and she is in love -- with Jasper Husch, a sexy-sultry artist from San Fran. But just as soon as they've realized domestic bliss, Jasper has a change of heart, and America falters on the slippery slope of hope: hoping that he will come back, hoping that new sex will erase all evidence of him, and hoping that in nurturing a truce with her dead father she will make peace with all men. America's trip from self-destruction to wholeness is a romp on the wilder shores of the West Coast. From a dodgy therapist to a silent retreat, America Throne's "aha" moment culminates with, "While we are all busy swimming upstream, the universe is conspiring to take us to something better." In America the Beautiful, Moon Zappa has taken the broken-heart story and given it a twist all her own through the emotional honesty and edginess of America Throne. Hailed as "brilliant" (Sunday Telegraph Magazine), America the Beautiful is the debut of an unforgettable and unfaltering new voice.
"Because I'm your dad, you can have spaghetti for breakfast, French
toast for dinner, and rocky road ice cream in the bathtub."
In a text that's both playful and loving, a father expresses his
hopes and dreams for a one-of-a-kind relationship with his child.
Whimsical monster characters bring the silly and sweet scenes to
life and keep the book universal. The book's ending, a moving
tribute to the author's father, guarantees intergenerational
appeal.
"Because I'm your dad, I will do all of these things for you and
more . . ."
"because that's what my dad did for me."
