Download or read book The Golden Mean written by Annabel Lyon and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startlingly original first novel by “this generation’s answer to Alice Munro” (The Vancouver Sun)—a bold reimagining of one of history’s most intriguing relationships: between legendary philosopher Aristotle and his most famous pupil, the young Alexander the Great. 342 BC: Aristotle is reluctant to set aside his own ambitions in order to tutor Alexander, the rebellious son of his boyhood friend Philip of Macedon. But the philosopher soon comes to realize that teaching this charming, surprising, sometimes horrifying teenager—heir to the Macedonian throne, forced onto the battlefield before his time—is a necessity amid the ever more sinister intrigues of Philip’s court. Told in the brilliantly rendered voice of Aristotle—keenly intelligent, often darkly funny—The Golden Mean brings ancient Greece to vivid life via the story of this remarkable friendship between two towering figures, innovator and conqueror, whose views of the world still resonate today.

Book Synopsis Lettering Young Readers in the Dutch Enlightenment by : Feike Dietz
Download or read book Lettering Young Readers in the Dutch Enlightenment written by Feike Dietz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-22 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book presents a rigorous, hugely informative analysis of the early history of Dutch children’s literature, pedagogical developments and emerging family formations. Thoroughly researched, Dietz’s study will be essential for historians of eighteenth-century childhood, education and children’s books, both in the Dutch context and more widely.’ — Matthew Grenby, Newcastle University, UK. ‘A rich, informative, well-documented and effectively illustrated discussion of the ways Dutch eighteenth-century educators tried to transform youth into responsible readers. It does so in a wide international context and masterfully connects this process to the radical politicization and de-politicization of Dutch society in the revolutionary period.’ —Wijnand W. Mijnhardt, formerly of Utrecht University, the Netherlands, and the University of California at Los Angeles, USA. This book explores how children’s literature and literacy could at once regulate and empower young people in the eighteenth-century Dutch Republic. Rather than presenting the history of childhood as a linear story of increasing agency, it suggests that we view it as a continuous struggle with the impossibility of full agency for young people. This volume demonstrates how this struggle informed the production of books in a historical context in which the development of independent youths was high on the political agenda. In close interaction with international children’s literature markets, Dutch authors developed new strategies to make the members of young generations into capable readers and writers, equipped to organize their own minds and bodies properly, and to support a supposedly declining fatherland.

Book Synopsis From Southern Theory to Decolonizing Sociolinguistics by : Ana Deumert
Download or read book From Southern Theory to Decolonizing Sociolinguistics written by Ana Deumert and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which combines scholarly articles with interviews, seeks to imagine a decolonized sociolinguistics. All the chapters are firmly grounded in southern approaches to knowledge production, focusing not only on epistemology but also on the complex relationship between epistemology and ontology. The chapters address issues ranging from author positionality to the central theorists of a southern sociolinguistics, and roam from the language classroom to the church, in ways which invite us to begin to decolonize ourselves and rethink normative assumptions about everything from academic writing to research methods and language teaching. The book provides scholars and teachers with inspiration for how to teach linguistics in ways that challenge colonial hegemonies and that allow one to ‘do’ sociolinguistics otherwise. It also makes a powerful argument that debates about decolonization, southern theory and social justice are not just academic pursuits: what is at stake is our future and how we imagine it.

Book Synopsis Language, Meaning and the Law by : Christopher Hutton
Download or read book Language, Meaning and the Law written by Christopher Hutton and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-19 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language, Meaning and the Law offers an accessible, critical guide to debates about linguistic meaning and interpretation in relation to legal language. Law is an ideal domain for considering fundamental questions relating to how we assign meanings to words, understand and comment on texts, and deal with socially and ideologically significant questions of interpretation. The book argues that theoretical issues of concern to linguists, philosophers, literary theorists and others are illuminated by the demands of the legal context, since law is driven by the need for practical solutions and for determinate outcomes based on explicit reasoning. Topics covered include: the relationship of linguistics to legal theory, indeterminacy and statutory interpretation, the theory and practice of using dictionaries in law, defamation and language in the public sphere, and the distinction between perjury and deception. This book does not assume specialist knowledge of the field, and is designed as a self-contained, advanced introduction to a fascinating area of study. The reader will gain an overall insight into issues and debates about meaning and interpretation, as well as an understanding of how these questions are shaped by the legal context.

Book excerpt: There is a Language of Creation, within which we all exist, whether a sun, a tiger, or a human being... this language carries our Original Design. The flower opening toward the sun... is that language. The spiritual feeling of being one with God... is that language. The smile on a mother’s face when her infant is placed in her arms... is that language. The tears in our eyes when we feel heard or feel seen... are that language. Over the course of time, we have forgotten. But now, once again, something is stirring. And we are Awakening... We are in the midst of a phenomenal global shift. We are awakening to the discovery that much of what we have believed until now, in fact, isn’t true. Awakening is no longer secreted away in unconventional thinking. Awakening is what is happening. We just had no idea it would look or feel like it does. We have mistaken awakening for overwhelm, physical exhaustion, mental confusion, emotional anxiety. What we are experiencing, the old systems of understanding cannot sort out. Our minds and bodies are awakening into the Language of Creation. Our entire system is actively restoring this Original Design. We are beginning to remember, once again, that we are an integral part of life. New perceptions and applications are now demanded. After eons of time, we are in a powerful creative process as our Original Design reformats our minds, re configures our bodies, and reboots our physical and non-physical systems. This book is a road-map to navigate your path to your Original Design. Through the use of template-writing exercises you reconfigure your neural pathways to be life-enhancing rather than life-defeating, manifesting your life in the majesty of what it was always meant to be. The Language of Creation is a tool for re-formatting HOW you think to create the life you want.
