Ho ho oh hell, is it that time of year again? Already? When the muzak starts cranking out lousy Casio versions of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" non-stop? When the flavor du jour switches from pumpkin spice to eggnog every damned thing? When the world gets all twinkley and glittery and your eyes just want to roll out of your skull from the sparkle overload? When the clatter and jangle of the Salvation Army bell-swingers standing outside every shop entry and exit makes you want to put your ears out with an icepick? Worse: how about when every other person you come across wants to infect you with the holiday cheer, whether you want it or not? When the constant refrain is: "Remember the Reason for the Season" as if the reason isn't the cash register? When we have to hear the never-ending idiot bleating from certain quarters about the war on Christmas? Seriously, is it that time of year again already? Well, if that's got you feeling like Krampus, you've come to the right place. We don't give a tinseled crap about the reason for the season. Deck the halls with this. They want a war on Christmas? Fine. Here it is. And we don't take prisoners.

This book demonstrates the application of African Diaspora Literacy in K-12 schools and teacher education programs. The book emerged from a four-week Fulbright-Hays Group Abroad project to Cameroon, West Africa, which was focused on African Diaspora Literacy. The project was guided by the African principle of "Ubuntu" (I am because we are). The 15-member team was comprised of eight faculty members (representing five universities-Benedict College, Michigan State University, South Carolina State University, South University, and the University of South Carolina), one community member, two K-12 administrators, and four K-12 teachers from high need schools. The inclusion of such a diverse group of participants in the Kamtok project (e.g., professors, K-12 teachers, community members) lent itself to producing rich data that captured both the intellectual scholarship and layperson's experience with equilateral consideration. The purpose of the project was to gain firsthand knowledge, artifacts, documents, experiences, and resources to be used in the development, implementation, and dissemination of curricula to be used in K-12 schools and university classrooms to more effectively prepare educators to teach African American students.Focusing specifically on the language, history, politics, economics, religion, and cultural traditions of people in the African Diaspora (e.g, U.S., Africa, Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, Asia), this book illuminates critical information typically missing from K-12 schools and teacher education, and English curricula. Chapters are written by scholars from Cameroons as well as those from the U.S. The book represents a lovely compilation of application, theory, and research. The book explores how African Diaspora Literacy can be used to heal the endemic physical, symbolic, linguistic, curricula, pedagogical, and system violence that African American children and youth experience in schools and in society.

¿Sabías que la palabra pontífice significa “el que vigila el puente”? ¿Y que aún hoy usamos términos que vienen del antiguo Egipto? ¿Sabías que la palabra ministro proviene del nombre que se le da al esclavo romano de rango más bajo? ¿Cómo es posible que palabras como esta última hayan cambiado tanto de significado a lo largo de la historia? Palabralogía es una forma amena de descubrir cómo ha evolucionado el lenguaje desde Egipto, Grecia y Roma, pasando por la Edad Media, hasta nuestros días, al mismo tiempo que se retratan las formas de vida de estas civilizaciones. Este es un apasionante viaje por la historia de las palabras, su formación y sus cambios de significado que nos ayudará a comprender por qué algunas han sobrevivido durante siglos mientras que otras cayeron en desuso. Un libro fundamental para entender cómo se ha formado el español y cómo la historia también se escribe en nuestras palabras.

En av de mest innflytelsesrike og omtalte bøkene som er skrevet om samfunnet vårt de siste ti årene. Hvorfor stoler briter mindre på hverandre enn nordmenn gjør? Hvorfor er det flere tenåringsmødre i USA enn i Frankrike? Hva er det som gjør at svenskene er tynnere enn australierne? Svaret er det samme på alle spørsmålene: økonomisk ulikhet. Boka er fremdeles et brennaktuelt innlegg i debatten om hva som skaper et bedre samfunn. Norge kommer godt ut i sammenligningene, men den økonomiske ulikheten har økt de siste tiårene, spesielt under den sittende regjeringen. I et forord skrevet spesielt for den norske utgaven, hevder forfatter Richard Wilkinson at også Norge vil tjene på en enda likere fordeling. "Sterk dokumentasjon av at land med små forskjeller greier seg bedre." - Jonas Gahr Støre "...en av de ti viktigste bøkene som er utkommet i dette århundret." - Klassekampen "...så overbevisende at selv høyrekrefter som magasinet The Economist og statsminister David Cameron i Storbritannia har stilt seg bak konklusjonene." - Morgenbladet "...leverer fakta til en følelse mange har av at samfunnet forvitrer, at noe i utviklingen er grunnleggende galt." - Nationen "...en av vår tids viktigste bøker" - Audun Lysbakken "Det er all grunn til å glede seg over at Norge er blant de landene i verden med lavest ulikhet." - Dagens Næringsliv

Recent years have seen rapid growth in the numbers of children being taught foreign languages at younger ages. While course books aimed at young learners are appearing on the market, there is scant theoretical reference in the teacher education literature. This book is one of the few to develop readers' understanding of what happens in classrooms where children are being taught a foreign language. It will offer teachers and trainers a coherent theoretical framework to structure thinking about children's language learning. The book gives practical advice on how to analyse and evaluate classroom activities, language use and language development. Examples from classrooms in Europe and Asia will help bring alive the realities of working with young learners of English.

The only completely unabridged paperback edition of Victor Hugo's masterpiece--a sweeping tale of love, loss, valor, and passion. Introducing one of the most famous characters in literature, Jean Valjean--the noble peasant imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread-- Les Miserables ranks among the greatest novels of all time. In it, Victor Hugo takes readers deep into the Parisian underworld, immerses them in a battle between good and evil, and carries them to the barricades during the uprising of 1832 with a breathtaking realism that is unsurpassed in modern prose. Within his dramatic story are themes that capture the intellect and the emotions: crime and punishment, the relentless persecution of Valjean by Inspector Javert, the desperation of the prostitute Fantine, the amorality of the rogue Thenardier, and the universal desire to escape the prisons of our own minds. Les Miserables gave Victor Hugo a canvas upon which he portrayed his criticism of the French political and judicial systems, but the portrait that resulted is larger than life, epic in scope--an extravagant spectacle that dazzles the senses even as it touches the heart. Translated by Lee Fahnestock and Norman Macafee, based on the classic nineteenth-century Charles E. Wilbour translation Inlcudes an Introduction by Lee Fahnestock and an Afterword by Chris Bohjalian

Hva er organisasjonskultur? Hvordan kan du beskrive kulturen i din organisasjon? Hvor godt er kulturen tilpasset strategien og de nye utfordringer og krav organisasjonen står overfor? Hvilken miks av verdier er viktig i din organisasjon? Hvilken lederkompetanse trengs? Forfatterne ønsker med boken Identifisering og endring av organisasjonskultur å hjelpe deg med slike spørsmål. De gir ingen lettvinte svar og raske oppskrifter, men presenterer et velprøvd analytisk rammeverk og en metodikk for å kunne identifisere og endre organisasjonskultur og ledelseskompetanse. Forfatterne tar utgangspunkt i etablert teori, et omfattende empirisk materiale og egen konsulentpraksis. Grunnholdningen deres er analytisk, pragmatisk og konstruktiv. Cameron og Quinn får frem at verden er tvetydig og utspiller seg i paradoksene. De vet at det er krevende å få til bevisste endringer av organisasjonskultur, men at det nettopp derfor er viktig å vite hva man gjør. Boken har blitt en internasjonal bestselger innen fagbøker, med stor aksept både i akademia og blant praktikere. Den norske oversettelsen er basert på 3. utgave av Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture fra 2012. Boken bygger på det anerkjente «The Competing Value Framework», som er et rammeverk for å identifisere og endre organisasjonskultur og ledelsesprofil. Dette rammeverket, sammen med praktiske verktøy som presenteres i boken, gjør det lettere å gå fra analyse til handling og gjennomføring. Boken egner seg godt for studenter på bachelor- og masternivå. Den er også spesielt nyttig for ledere på alle nivå, og for dem som jobber med organisasjons- og lederutvikling i stabsfunksjoner eller som konsulenter.
