En sann beretning om en mor og hennes barn, og deres fangenskap hos en islamsk ektemann og far, i spenningsfeltet mellom islamsk og vestlig syn på mann og kvinne, kultur og livsverdier.

In August 1984, Michigan housewife Betty Mahmoody accompanied her husband to his native Iran for a two-week vacation. To her horror, she found herself and her four-year-old daughter, Mahtob, virtual prisoners of a man rededicated to his Shiite Moslem faith, in a land where women are near-slaves and Americans are despised. Their only hope for escape lay in a dangerous underground that would not take her child... Now the true story of this courageous woman and her breathtaking odyssey bursts upon the screen in the Pathe Entertainment production starring Academy Award-winner Sally Field Not Without My Daughter is a Literary Guild Alternate Selection.

For courses in Business Statistics. A classic text for accuracy and statistical precision Statistics for Business and Economics enables students to conduct serious analysis of applied problems rather than running simple “canned” applications. This text is also at a mathematically higher level than most business statistics texts and provides students with the knowledge they need to become stronger analysts for future managerial positions. In this regard, it emphasizes an understanding of the assumptions that are necessary for professional analysis. In particular, it has greatly expanded the number of applications that utilize data from applied policy and research settings. The 9th Edition of this book has been revised and updated to provide students with improved problem contexts for learning how statistical methods can improve their analysis and understanding of business and economics. This revision recognizes the globalization of statistical study and in particular the global market for this book.

This introductory textbook presents statistics with a clarity and logic that will demystify the subject, while providing a comprehensive coverage of advanced as well as basic methods.

Hekling er en av de mest fleksible - og mobile -formene for håndarbeid; alt du trenger er en heklenål og litt garn. Hekleprodukter formes ofte av små enheter som settes sammen til større arbeider, så håndarbeidet er lite og lett å ha med seg, og kan i prinsippet gjøres overalt. Grunnmaskene er enkle og raske å lære, og når du behersker dem, kan de settes sammen og varieres nærmest i det uendelige. Her i boken får du oppskrift og forklaring på over 200 heklemønstre, fra ganske kompakte, med nesten vevd uttrykk, til lette kniplingsaktige blonder.

"Meaningful Differences in the Everyday Experience of Young American Children" is the story of the landmark research study that uncovered the widely cited "word gap" between children from low-income homes and their more economically advantaged peers. This groundbreaking research has spurred hundreds of studies and programs, including the White Housea s "Bridging the Word Gap" campaign and "Too Small to Fail," a joint initiative of the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton foundation. Betty Hart and Todd Risley wanted to know why, despite best efforts in preschool programs to equalize opportunity, children from low-income homes remain well behind their more economically advantaged peers years later in school. Each month, they recorded one full hour of every word spoken at home between parent and child in 42 families, categorized as professional, working class, or welfare families. Two and a half years of coding and analyzing every utterance in 1,318 transcripts followed. By age 3, the recorded spoken vocabularies of the children from the professional families were larger than those of the parents in the welfare families. Between professional and welfare parents, there was a difference of almost 300 words spoken per hour. Extrapolating this verbal interaction to four years, a child in a professional family would accumulate experience with almost 45 million words, while an average child in a welfare family would hear just 13 million coining the phrase "the 30 million word gap." The implications of this painstaking study are staggering: Hart and Risley's follow-up studies at age 9 show that the large differences in children's language experience were tightly linked to large differences in child outcomes. As the authors note in their preface to the 2002 printing of "Meaningful Differences," "the most important aspect to evaluate in child care settings for very young children is the amount of talk actually going on, moment by moment, between children and their caregivers." By giving children positive interactions and experiences with adults who take the time to teach vocabulary, oral language concepts, and emergent literacy concepts, children should have a better chance to succeed at school and in the workplace. Learn more about how parent and children's language interactions affect learning to talk in Hart & Risley's companion book The Social World of Children Learning to Talk."
