Book Synopsis Calling All Musicians by : Lightning Source
Download or read book Calling All Musicians written by Lightning Source and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has taken forty years of living, loving, sorrow, laughter and thirty extra pounds to make me feel like a woman; having a really great muse doesnat hurt either. Inspiration is highly underrated. I used to think body image was everything; now I know it is self image that dictates who we are. This book of poetry was inspired by a most unusual muse: a man I have never even met. I see myself in my muse as easily as I see the blue in my eyes. I know this man on a soul level. I know most people wonat believe that, but that doesnat mean it isnat true. Faith and free will are amazing gifts. Imagination is not only for children. I never understood when people would say, aI just know, a until I heard his music. Yes, he is a musician. Something in his music just makes me feel like I know him. I am a tiny speck in this beautiful universe, and that suits me just fine because there are six billion other tiny specks just waiting to be bumped into. As for the title, well, I have faith most of you will figure it out. I grow weary explaining my poetry to people as they have forgotten how to believe. This is a love story, my love story.

Book Synopsis What Teachers Need to Know About Language by : Carolyn Temple Adger
Download or read book What Teachers Need to Know About Language written by Carolyn Temple Adger and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising enrollments of students for whom English is not a first language mean that every teacher – whether teaching kindergarten or high school algebra – is a language teacher. This book explains what teachers need to know about language in order to be more effective in the classroom, and it shows how teacher education might help them gain that knowledge. It focuses especially on features of academic English and gives examples of the many aspects of teaching and learning to which language is key. This second edition reflects the now greatly expanded knowledge base about academic language and classroom discourse, and highlights the pivotal role that language plays in learning and schooling. The volume will be of interest to teachers, teacher educators, professional development specialists, administrators, and all those interested in helping to ensure student success in the classroom and beyond.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Indonesian Fashion by : Alessandra Lopez y Royo
Download or read book Contemporary Indonesian Fashion written by Alessandra Lopez y Royo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesian fashion has undergone a period of rapid growth over the last three decades. This book explores how through years of social, political, and cultural upheaval, the country's fashion has moved away from “colonial fashion” and “national dress” to claim its own distinct identity as contemporary fashion in a global world. With specific reference to women's wear, Contemporary Indonesian Fashion explores the diversity and complexity of the country's sartorial offerings, which weave together local textile traditions like batik and ikat-making with contemporary narratives. The book questions concepts of “tradition” and “modernity” in the developing world, taking stock of the elite consumption of luxury brands and the large-scale manufacturing of fast fashion, and introduces us to the rise of new trends such as busana muslim (or “modest wear”), creating a portrait of a vibrant and growing national and, increasingly, international, industry. Exploring clothing in shopping malls, on the catwalk, in magazines, and online, the book examines how Indonesian fashion is made, presented, and consumed, combining research in Indonesia with analysis and personal reflection. Contemporary Indonesian Fashion ultimately questions the deeply entrenched eurocentrism of "global fashion", simultaneously interrogating current homogenizing beauty and body image discourses posited as universal, by pointing to absences, silences, and erasures as reflected by contemporary Indonesian fashion- hence the "looking glass" of the title. Aptly illustrated, the book offers a new perspective on a rapidly developing new fashion capital, Jakarta.
Download or read book Language in Mind written by Dedre Gentner and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-03-14 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that the language we speak influences the way we think has evoked perennial fascination and intense controversy. According to the strong version of this hypothesis, called the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis after the American linguists who propounded it, languages vary in their semantic partitioning of the world, and the structure of one's language influences how one understands the world. Thus speakers of different languages perceive the world differently. Although the last two decades have been marked by extreme skepticism concerning the possible effects of language on thought, recent theoretical and methodological advances in cognitive science have given the question new life. Research in linguistics and linguistic anthropology has revealed striking differences in cross-linguistic semantic patterns, and cognitive psychology has developed subtle techniques for studying how people represent and remember experience. It is now possible to test predictions about how a given language influences the thinking of its speakers. Language in Mind includes contributions from both skeptics and believers and from a range of fields. It contains work in cognitive psychology, cognitive development, linguistics, anthropology, and animal cognition. The topics discussed include space, number, motion, gender, theory of mind, thematic roles, and the ontological distinction between objects and substances.

Book Synopsis Women and Islamization by : Karin Ask
Download or read book Women and Islamization written by Karin Ask and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current Islamic revival is frequently associated with fundamentalism and radical politics. This reinforces Western perceptions of Islamic women as victims of a sexist and reactionary rule. What many outsiders fail to realize is that quite a number of Muslim women are ardently embracing their religion as a means through which they can express gender identity, power and creativity.In overturning ingrained notions of Muslim women's subjugation, this timely book situates Islam as a religion undergoing reinterpretation and change -- especially in relation to gender identities -- rather than as a monolithic movement reacting against westernization and modernization. Through their political, educational, and recreational activities, more and more Muslim women are setting agendas of their own and are actively redefining the role of women in Muslim society.

Book Synopsis Meeting the Enemy by : Richard van Emden
Download or read book Meeting the Enemy written by Richard van Emden and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A British soldier walked over to the German front line to deliver newspapers; British women married to Germans became 'enemy aliens' in their own country; a high-ranking British POW discussed his own troops' heroism with the Kaiser on the battlefield. Just three amazing stories of contact between the opposing sides in the Great War that eminent historian Richard van Emden has unearthed – incidents that show brutality, great humanity, and above all the bizarre nature of a conflict between two nations with long-standing ties of kinship and friendship. Meeting the Enemy reveals for the first time how contact was maintained on many levels throughout the War, and its stories, sometimes funny, often moving, give us a new perspective on the lives of ordinary men and women caught up in extraordinary events.
Book Synopsis The Islamic State by : Taqiuddin an Nabahani
Download or read book The Islamic State written by Taqiuddin an Nabahani and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Islamic state is not a dream, nor is it a figment of the imagination, for it had dominated and influenced history for more than thirteen hundred years. It was indeed a reality which provided the most successful system for society - political, economic, social, and judicial and so on. It was a state that included Muslims and non - Muslims both living in harmony until its destruction in 1924 at the hands of the West and its treacherous agents with in the state. Today, the Muslims worldwide are eagerly working for the re-establishment of this state, and they are eager for the return of the Islamic glory. This book essentially highlights the methodology of Muhammad (saw) in his struggle to establish the State in Madinah, and it focuses on the rise and expansion of the Islamic State after his (saw) death. The book goes on to explain the factors that led to the decline and then the tragic end of the Islamic State in 1924 CE.
Download or read book Snitching written by Alexandra Natapoff and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2010 Honorable Mention, Silver Gavel Award, American Bar Association Uncovers the powerful and problematic practice of snitching to reveal disturbing truths about how American justice works Albert Burrell spent thirteen years on death row for a murder he did not commit. Atlanta police killed 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston during a misguided raid on her home. After being released by Chicago prosecutors, Darryl Moore—drug dealer, hit man, and rapist—returned home to rape an eleven-year-old girl. Such tragedies are consequences of snitching—police and prosecutors offering deals to criminal offenders in exchange for information. Although it is nearly invisible to the public, criminal snitching has invaded the American legal system in risky and sometimes shocking ways. Snitching is the first comprehensive analysis of this powerful and problematic practice, in which informant deals generate unreliable evidence, allow criminals to escape punishment, endanger the innocent, compromise the integrity of police work, and exacerbate tension between police and poor urban residents. Driven by dozens of real-life stories and debacles, the book exposes the social destruction that snitching can cause in high-crime African American neighborhoods, and how using criminal informants renders our entire penal process more secretive and less fair. Natapoff also uncovers the far-reaching legal, political, and cultural significance of snitching: from the war on drugs to hip hop music, from the FBI’s mishandling of its murderous mafia informants to the new surge in white collar and terrorism informing. She explains how existing law functions and proposes new reforms. By delving into the secretive world of criminal informants, Snitching reveals deep and often disturbing truths about the way American justice really works.

Book excerpt: This work focuses on translators and readers as participants in the communicative process, where the use of allusions is one type of problem to be solved.
