Baseball Before We Knew It: A Search for the Roots of the Game
ISBN: 9780803262553 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It may be America's game, but no one seems to know how or when baseball really started. Theories abound, myths proliferate, but reliable information has been in short supply--until now, when Baseball before We Knew It brings fresh new evidence of baseball's origins into play. David Block looks into the early history of the game and of the 150-year-old debate about its beginnings. He tackles one stubborn misconception after another, debunking the enduring belief that baseball descended from the English game of rounders and revealing a surprising new explanation for the most notorious...

Political Economy and Sociolinguistics: Neoliberalism, Inequality and Social Class
ISBN: 9781474281447 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book explores how political economy intersects with sociolinguistics, specifically how neoliberalism, inequality and social class mediate language in society issues. After the preface, in which the author sets the scene for the content of the book, Chapter 1 is an extensive, though selective, review of sociolinguistics research which has been framed as political economic in orientation. The chapter concludes that such research generally contains little in the way of thorough and in-depth coverage of the key ideas and conceptual frameworks said to undergird it. With this consideration in...

Second Language Identities
ISBN: 9781847065711 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Second Language Identities examines how identity is an issue in different second language learning contexts. It begins with a detailed presentation of what has become a popular approach to identity in the social sciences (including applied linguistics) today, one that is inspired in poststructuralist thought and is associated with the work of authors such as Anthony Giddens, Zygmunt Bauman, Chris Weedon, Judith Butler and Stuart Hall. It then examines how in early SLA research focussing on affective variables, identity was an issue, lurking in the wings but not coming to the...

Social Class in Applied Linguistics
ISBN: 9780415548182 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this ground breaking new book David Block proposes a new working definition of social class in applied linguistics. Traditionally, research on language and identity has focused on aspects such as race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, religion and sexuality. Political economy, and social class, as an identity inscription, have been undervalued. This book argues that increasing socioeconomic inequality, which has come with the consolidation of neoliberal policies and practices worldwide, requires changes in how we think about identity and proposes that social class should be brought to...

Neoliberalism and Applied Linguistics
ISBN: 9780415592055 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores neoliberalism - a view of the world that puts the market at its centre- from the perspective of applied linguistics. Neoliberalism and Applied Linguistics argues that while applied linguistics has become more interdisciplinary in orientation, it has ignored or downplayed the role of political economy, namely the way in which social, political and economic factors relate to one another within the context of a capitalist economy. The authors take the view that engagement with political economy is central to any fully rounded analysis of language and language-related issues in...

The Social Turn in Second Language Acquisition
ISBN: 9780878401444 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. David Block asks the question "What is second language acquisition (SLA)?" by offering an extended critique of one of the main theoretical approaches to second language acquisition: the "Input-Interaction-Output" model. He argues that a more interdisciplinary and socially informed approach to SLA research is in order, and he draws on recent work in sociolinguistics as well as SLA research influenced by sociolinguistic and sociohistorical approaches to language and language learning. In so doing, he demonstrates that there is a need to broaden the horizons of second language acquisition....

Toward a New Millennium in Galaxy Morphology: From Z=0 to the Lyman Break
ISBN: 9789401058018 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 821 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. South Africa - a land of paradigm shifts. A land where we are willing to leave behind the old, to bravely accept the new. What do we need to exit the dark ages in the morphology of galaxies? How prevalent is the cherishing of old concepts? Traditional morphology has been mask-oriented', focusing on masks of dust and gas which may constitute only 5 percent of the dynamical mass of a galaxy.
Some of the world's foremost astronomers flew to South Africa to address morphologically related issues at an International Conference, the proceedings of which are contained in this volume. Examine... South Africa - a land of paradigm shifts. A land where we are willing to leave behind the old, to bravely accept the new. What do we need to exit the ...

New Extragalactic Perspectives in the New South Africa: Proceedings of the International Conference on "Cold Dust and Galaxy Morphology" Held in Johan
ISBN: 9789401066372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 653 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The date: September 30, 1880 The place: A private observatory in Hastings-on-Hudson Profession of the observer: A medical doctor The instrument: An l1-inch Clark refractor. The significance of that night marked one of the truly great turning points in the development of astronomical techniques: Dr Henry Draper, a wealthy New York medical doctor, had secured the first photograph of a nebula: a 51-minute exposure on a dry gelatinobromide plate showing the wispy nebulosity of the Orion Nebula. By March 1882, Draper had secured an exposure of 137 minutes, showing far richer detail of both bright...
