Book Synopsis Windows to the Mind by : Sandra Handl
Download or read book Windows to the Mind written by Sandra Handl and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive linguists are convinced that the nature of linguistic structures is strongly influenced by the way we experience and perceive the world and by how we conceptualize and construe these experiences and perceptions in our minds. At the same time, the study of linguistic structure and usage is credited with the potential to open windows to how our minds work. The present volume collects papers investigating linguistic phenomena that reflect the key cognitive processes of metaphor, metonymy and conceptual blending, which have proven to be highly influential in linguistic conceptualization. Theoretical and methodological issues, such as metaphor identification and the relevance of the target domain for children's understanding of metaphor, are focused on in the first section. The second and third parts are devoted to the application of the theoretical frameworks of the conceptual theory of metaphor and metonymy and the theory of conceptual blending to linguistic data. The contributions critically explore the explanatory potential of these theories, build bridges between them, link them with other approaches and notions (such as construction grammar, common ground and stance/evaluation), and uncover conceptual regularities and cognitive models that underlie and shape our language use in specific domains. The linguistic structures under consideration span the range from compounds and premodified noun phrases to constructions and texts such as jokes and political speeches. Methods applied include psycholinguistic experiments, analyses of data culled from authentic language corpora and discourse-analytical approaches.
Book Synopsis Windows to Minds by : Michael T. Martinez
Download or read book Windows to Minds written by Michael T. Martinez and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Windows to Minds, Martinez masterfully uses free form poetry to present perspectives of life that range from pleasantly endearing to shockingly confrontational. He invites readers to open their minds and consider his perspectives, while ultimately challenging them to think for themselves and not take anything he or anyone else says for granted. At the end, he even invites them to put their own perspectives on life into words! Windows to Minds has the power to either demand you turn the pages quickly, or force you to slow down and think. Its brutal honesty may have the same person who nods their head in agreement at some points, shake their head and curse under their breath at others. Perhaps not since Walt Whitman has free form poetry taken such a powerful form. But Martinez is not the next Walt Whitman-he is the first Michael Martinez, and this manifesto of his opinions and perspectives attests to this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Afrika Afeni Mills’ book fills an important gap in the arena of diversity, equity and inclusion. Most books are focused on the needs of children of color, but she helps us understand why White students need to build their cultural competence if we are to truly have a society that is bias-free. If you’re a White educator or parent, this book will help you to let go of the things that no longer serve you, and to teach your students to embrace those things that will help create welcoming environments where all feel a sense of belonging." —Zaretta Hammond Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Equip your students—and yourself—to grapple with racial identity and crucial questions about race. As antiracist educators, we strive to create learning environments where White-identifying students learn to shift from centering their own racial identity to recognizing the histories, perspectives, and experiences of others. How do we make that vision a reality? In Open Windows, Open Minds, transformational educator Afrika Afeni Mills explores why racial identity work is crucial, especially for White-identifying students and teachers, and shows educators how to use literacy instruction to provide more windows to racial awareness, antiracist thinking, and pro-human action in the classroom. This roadmap for moving from intention to action includes: Exercises that push educators to examine their own racial identity before facilitating antiracism work with students Prompts that lead educators from deep thinking to instructional planning and implementation Developmentally appropriate teaching strategies for guiding students toward understanding racial identity and engaging in action-oriented learning Tools and resources for navigating challenges, finding allies, and creating partnerships Engaging in anti-bias, antiracist work requires actively thinking, doing, and evolving. Open windows to racial identity and awareness in your students and help create a more inclusive and equitable society.

Book excerpt: Fiery cricketer Tino Best lived life in the fast lane - on and off the pitch. He will go down in history as one of the quickest bowlers ever to have played the game, consistently exceeding 145kph during his 11-year international career for the West Indies. His easygoing personality, charm and willingness to live the playboy lifestyle made him one of the sport's most exciting personalities. In this revealing autobiography, he tells all about his antics on and off the pitch, including the 'sledging' incident with Freddie Flintoff at Lord's in 2011 which has become part of cricketing folklore. From racism storms, to sex scandals and dressing-room battles, this is the story of a cricketer who has seen it all.
Book Synopsis The Boy Who Loved Windows by : Patricia Stacey
Download or read book The Boy Who Loved Windows written by Patricia Stacey and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, writer Patricia Stacey and her husband Cliff learned that their six-month-old son Walker might never walk or talk, or even hear or see. Unwilling to accept this grim prediction, they embarked on a five-year odyssey that took them into alternative medicine, the newest brain research, and toward a new and innovative understanding of autism. Finally their search led them to pioneering developmental psychiatrist Stanley Greenspan who helped them save their son and bring him into full contact with the world. This enthralling memoir, at once heart wrenching and hopeful, takes the reader into the life of one remarkable family willing to do anything to give their son a rich and emotionally full life. We stand witness as they struggle to elicit the first sign that Walker is connecting with them, and share in their fears, struggles, tiny victories, and eventual triumphs. The Boy Who Loved Windows is compelling and inspiring reading for parents and professionals who care for children with autism and other special needs. The book is also a stunning literary debut, of interest to anyone who cares about the lives of children and the passion of families who, against huge odds, put these children first.
Book Synopsis That Was When People Started to Worry by : Nancy Tucker
Download or read book That Was When People Started to Worry written by Nancy Tucker and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ' This is mental illness. It is unexpected strength and unusual luck and an uninterrupted string of steps. Then the next wave comes. And while you wipe grit from your eyes and swipe blood from your knees, the smiling faces in the distance call out: Why do you keep falling over?! Just stand up!' Conversations about mental health are increasing, but we still seldom hear what it's really like to suffer from mental illness. Enter Nancy Tucker, author of the acclaimed eating disorder memoir, The Time In Between. Based on her interviews with young women aged 16–25, That Was When People Started to Worry weaves together experiences of mental illness into moving narratives, humorous anecdotes, and guidance as to how we can all be more empathetic towards those who suffer. Tucker offers an authentic impression of seven common mental illnesses: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self-harm, disordered eating, PTSD and borderline personality disorder. Giving a voice to those who often find it hard to speak themselves, Tucker presents a unique window into the day-to-day trials of living with an unwell mind. She pushes readers to reflect on how we think, talk about and treat mental illness in young women.
Book Synopsis Windows of My Mind by : C. Lancelot Rowley
Download or read book Windows of My Mind written by C. Lancelot Rowley and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most contemporary books of poems are concentrated around particular themes which the authors explore from a variety of view points. Windows Of My Mind Is Different. It is different in that it speaks to no one theme, but is a selection of poems by the author after having written over one hundred titles. The aim behind the volume is to showcase the authors writing style which he has called conventionally unconventional. In doing so he has ranged from the divine to the debased. For example, the poem My Vision is about the origin of man and the planet and their destinations, while The Lies We Live underscores the vanity of human beings. Close to 25% of the poems can be said to have a religious thread running through them, but even so they are treated unconventionally. The Way, The Mountain Top, and Homeward Bound, should make interesting reading in this regard. Human frailty is another topic to fall under the pen of Rowley, as typified by Dishonours Folly and Loverss Lament. The author wrote most of his poems when he lived in New York, so it should surprise no one that his probing mind would have surveyed the American landscape. Might and Birthright and Afro-America and The N-Word are two of his offerings from the survey. Might and Birthright addresses the Native American condition, while Afro-America is about Afro-Americans (mainly in the entertainment industry) and their love affair with the N word. Rowley believes that everyone who opens a copy of Windows of My Mind will find at least a couple of poems that will resonate with his/her inner feeling on the subject matters, thus validating one of the aims of the book and his selections.

Book Synopsis Mind The Windows: Tino Best - My Story by : Tino Best
Download or read book Mind The Windows: Tino Best - My Story written by Tino Best and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiery West Indian cricketer Tino Best lives life in the fast lane – on and off the pitch. He was one of the quickest bowlers ever to have played the game, consistently exceeding 90mph in an eleven-year international career in which he roughed up – and got out – the best in the business. And if he played hard on the pitch, he played just as hard off it, living the playboy lifestyle with girls across the globe. In the middle, Best was never short of a word or two. He took his first Test wicket after giving Graham Thorpe an earful, he went nose-to-nose with Pakistan star Shoaib Malik in one heated exchange and later had to be separated from Kieron Pollard during one pugnacious argument in a hotel lift. Not content with his aggressive bowling, Best even dished out the verbals while batting: sledging the English bowlers during his record-breaking innings for a number 11 of 95 at Edgbaston. He reveals all about his career, including his fierce battle with Sachin Tendulkar in the Indian great's last ever Test, the dressing-room problems damaging the West Indies and his antics in the bedroom. Mind the Windows includes a foreword from Andrew Flintoff, the man who famously sledged him, while celebrity cricket fan Piers Morgan, legendary umpire Dickie Bird and former international captains Adam Hollioake and Darren Sammy have all written tributes.
