Standard English: The Widening Debate

PDF | 3 MB


The debates surrounding "Standard English", grammar and correctness are as intense today as ever and extend far beyond an academic context, as shown by the Ebonics controversy in Oakland, California. Standard English: The Widening Debate draws together leading international scholars who place these debates in a historical, social and international context.Standard English traces the notion of "Standard English" from the practices of late 17th century grammarians to the present day and explores the definitions of "Standard English", with particular attention paid to distinctions between spoken and written English. The authors also show how "Standard English" is viewed very differently in the US versus Britain and reveal how it is used as a marker for different forms of social discrimination. An accessible, important work, Standard English is essential to anyone interested in language and discrimination.

Dictionary of Medicine and Biology

| PDF | 20,2 MB
Dictionaries are didactic books used as consultation instruments for self-teaching. They are composed by an ordered set of linguistic units which reflects a double structure, the macrostructure which correspond to the word list and the microstructure that refers to the contents of each lemma. The great value of dictionaries nests in the fact that they establish a standard nomenclature and prevent in that way the appearance of new useless synonyms.
This dictionary contains a total of about 27.500 main English entries, and over of 130.000 translations that should normally sufficiently cover all fields of life sciences. The basic criteria used to accept a word a part of the dictionary during thedevelopment period in order of importance were usage, up-to-dateness, specificity, simplicity and conceptual relationships. The dictionary meets the standards of higher education and covers all main fields of life sciences by setting its primary focus on the vastly developing fields of cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, developmental biology, microbiology, genetics and also the fields of human anatomy, histology, pathology, physiology, zoology and botany.
The fields of ecology, paleontology, systematics, evolution, biostatistics, plant physiology, plant anatomy, plant histology, biometry and lab techniques have been sufficiently covered but in a more general manner. The latest Latin internationalanatomical terminology "Terminologia Anatomica" or "TA" has been fully incorporated and all anatomical entries have been given their international Latin TA synonym. This dictionary will be a valuable and helpful tool for all scientists, teachers, students and generally all those that work within the fields of life sciences.

Rachel is horrified to discover that she has genuine feelings for Dex.

The Hidden Brain [Audiobook]

The "hidden brain" is Shankar Vedantam's shorthand for a host of brain functions, emotional responses, and cognitive processes that happen outside of our conscious awareness, but that have a decisive effect on how we behave.

The hidden brain has its finger on the scale when we make all of our most complex and important decisions - it decides who we fall in love with, whether we should convict someone of murder, or which way to run when someone yells "fire!" It explains why we can become riveted by the story of a single puppy adrift on an ocean but are quickly bored by a story of genocide. The hidden brain can also be deliberately manipulated to vote against someone's interest, or even to become a suicidal terrorist. But the most disturbing thing is that it can do all of this without our knowing.

Shankar Vedantam, longtime author of the Washington Post's popular Department of Human Behavior column, takes us on a tour of this phenomenon and explores its consequences. Using original reporting that combines the latest scientific research with fascinating narratives that take listeners from the American campaign trail to terrorist indoctrination camps, from the World Trade Center on 9/11 to, yes, a puppy adrift in the Pacific Ocean, Vedantam illuminates the dark recesses of our minds while making an original argument about how we can compensate for our mental blindness - and what happens when we don't.

The Diviner's Tale: A Novel - Bradford Morrow

The Diviner's Tale is at once a journey of self-discovery and an unorthodox murder mystery, a tale of the fantastic and a family chronicle told by an otherwise ordinary woman.

Walking a lonely forested valley in upstate New York, Cassandra Brooks comes upon the shocking vision of a young girl hanged from a tree. When she returns with authorities, the girl has vanished, leaving in question Cassandra's credibility, if not her sanity. The next day, on a return visit, a dazed, mute missing girl emerges from the woods, alive - and the very picture of Cassandra's hanged girl. What follows is the narrative of ever deepening and increasingly bizarre divinations that will lead this gifted young woman, the struggling single mother of twin boys, hurtling toward a past she'd long since thought was behind her.

When Cass' dark forebodings take on tangible form, she is forced to confront a life spiraling out of control. And soon she is locked in a mortal chess match with a real-life killer who has haunted her since before she can remember.

Haunted [Audiobook]

One of Palahniuk's more sweeping and macabre offerings, this is a collection of 23 short stories and poems generated at a fictional writer's retreat turned grotesque survival camp. The pieces range from the stomach-turning to the satirical or the absurd. The seven readers tackling the decidedly offbeat Palahniuk are, for the most part, refreshingly successful. Cashman is a standout, narrating the action at the retreat. His voice shuttles nimbly between the male and female writers, while maintaining the integrity of his own unnamed character. Morey's narration is disappointing on "Guts," the novel's most notorious and gruesome tale, which has reportedly caused some listeners to faint. Morey sounds too mature and polished for this series of wicked adolescent masturbatory nightmares. In general, the multivoiced narration is practiced and professional, with the trio of actresses turning in particularly strong performances. The other side of all that spit and polish is that Palahniuk's humor is occasionally stifled. Some listeners may wonder whether the author's prose is so singular that only he might be capable of delivering it. But overall, an engaging, albeit lengthy, listen.

English for Academic Purposes( EAP) Now!: Students' Book

English for Academic Purposes Now! has been created for you as a course book in
English for Academic Purposes. It has been written with the intention of fulfilling a
need for a single book which includes the many skills that you will require in order
to be successful in English tertiary education (education after high school or post-
secondary education). If you wish to attend college or university, or to study in an
English speaking country where you will need to have Upper Intermediate or
Advanced level skills, or if you are a native speaker of English who would like to
expand your repertoire of English language skills and prepare for university, this book
will assist you to achieve your goals.
As experienced English language teachers ourselves, we have brought to the writing
of EAP Now! our own understanding of the learning difficulties and cultural
challenges that you will face as you undertake study in a language other than your
first. There are intellectual shifts which may be required of you as you learn new ways
to present your ideas and arguments in writing and speaking contexts; you will learn
to question texts rather than accept them as absolutely always correct; you will make
decisions as to the importance of the World Wide Web for your study; you will
increase your ability to become independent learners and you will strive for cross-
cultural understanding and critical cultural consciousness as a result of your studies
within this course.
Learning the academic skills necessary to succeed in a tertiary environment can be an
arduous, difficult and complex process. You, the student, and your teacher will set out
together on a journey that this course book provides. You will work together in order to
attain these skills. They are the skills and thinking modes that you will need in all the
various academic environments (universities and other institutions) into which you are
heading.
