ALL THAT IS FOREVER LOST is a story of a man and woman's journey through difficult times, the deaths of young friends, loss of home, prestige, liberty, each person telling the story from their own perspective, the man giving an inner personal expression of his soul, a kind of poetic autobiography, the woman lending a more factual narrative, thereby giving the reader a window of knowledge into the more obscure observations of the man, her husband, as they travel through the dark days that eventually separates them forever, despite the deep love they both feel for each other.

But all this was part of his skill and subtle strength. Although he had known...

This simple introduction to the history of the German language seeks to provide students who have some knowledge of modern German, but no knowledge either of its development or of linguistic theories, with a short account of the essential factors - chronological, geographical and linguistic - and their interrelation.

The material is arranged in three parts. The first traces the history of the German language from its origins in Indo-European through the pre-documentary Germanic period and the Middle Ages to the present day. In the second part the development of the German...

With pedagogical philosophy and practice changing significantly, faculty development has become much more important.

Each chapter in this volume identifies particular areas of opportunity, and although the authors recognize that not every initiative suggested can be implemented by all institutions--circumstances such as institutional mission, available resources, and governance issues will dictate that--it is their hope that every reader will be able to glean details that might provide a spark or fan a flame on campus.
