Ihre Kindheit in den Siebzigerjahren ist geprägt von ihren verkorksten Eltern: ihrem Vater Pal, sanft, aber alkoholkrank, und der Mutter Joy, zwanghaft und aufbrausend.

American Empire: Roosevelt's Geographer and the Prelude to Globalizationvolume 9
ISBN: 9780520243385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 586 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An American Empire, constructed over the last century, long ago overtook European colonialism, and it has been widely assumed that the new globalism it espoused took us "beyond geography." Neil Smith debunks that assumption, offering an incisive argument that American globalism had a distinct geography and was pieced together as part of a powerful geographical vision. The power of geography did not die with the twilight of European colonialism, but it did change fundamentally. That the inauguration of the American Century brought a loss of public geographical sensibility in the United States...

The New Urban Frontier: Gentrification and the Revanchist City
ISBN: 9780415132558 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why have so many central and inner cities in Europe, North America and Australia been so radically revamped in the last three decades, converting urban decay into new chic? Will the process continue in the twenty-first century or has it ended? What does this mean for the people who live there? Can they do anything about it?
This book challenges conventional wisdom, which holds gentrification to be the simple outcome of new middle-class tastes and a demand for urban living. It reveals gentrification as part of a much larger shift in the political economy and culture of the late twentieth...

In a series of magisterial vignettes Smith emphasizes the perennial necessity of appealing to linguistic theory if we are to gain any real understanding of the phenomena of language. However profound or however trivial the questions we raise and try answer - What exactly does one have to know to count as a speaker of a language? What would it mean for a language to have no vowels? Why...

The Signs of a Savant
ISBN: 9780521617697 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Every once in a while nature gives us insight into the human condition by providing us with a unique case whose special properties illuminate the species as a whole. Christopher is such an example. Despite disabilities which mean that everyday tasks are burdensome chores, Christopher is a linguistic wonder who can read, write, speak, understand and translate more than twenty languages. On some tests he shows a severely low IQ, hinting at ineducability, yet his English language ability indicates an IQ in excess of 120 (a level more than sufficient to enter university). Christopher is a savant,...

Acquiring Phonology
ISBN: 9780521515870 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Children often mispronounce words when learning their first language. Is it because they cannot perceive the differences that adults make or is it because they can't produce the sounds involved? Neither hypothesis is sufficient on its own to explain the facts. On the basis of detailed analyses of his son's and grandson's development, Neil Smith explains the everyday miracle of one aspect of first-language acquisition. Mispronunciations are now attributed to performance rather than to competence, and he argues at length that children's productions are not mentally represented. The study also...
