    Abstract: Melville J. Herskovits and the Racial Politics of Knowledge is the first full-scale biography of the trailblazing anthropologist of African and African American cultures. Born into a world of racial hierarchy, Melville J. Herskovits (1895-1963) employed physical anthropology and ethnography to undermine racist and hierarchical ways of thinking about humanity and to underscore the value of cultural diversity. His research in West Africa, the West Indies, and South America documented the far-reaching influence of African cultures in the Americas. He founded the first major interdisciplinary American program in African studies in 1948 at Northwestern University, and his controversial classic The Myth of the Negro Past delineated African cultural influences on American blacks and showcased the vibrancy of African American culture. He also helped forge the concept of cultural relativism, particularly in his book Man and His Works. Drawing extensively on Herskovits's private papers and published works, Jerry Gershenhorn's biography recognizes Herskovits's many contributions and discusses the complex consequences of his conclusions, methodologies, and relations with African American scholars

    Abstract: Die Familienpolitik ist ein spätes Kind des deutschen Sozialstaats. Sie etablierte sich vor dem Hintergrund tief greifender gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche. Der kriegsbedingte Männermangel und der ""Scheidungsboom"" wurden nach 1945 als Zeichen der Auflösung traditioneller Familienformen gedeutet; später verwiesen Schlagworte wie ""Pillenknick"" und ""sexuelle Revolution"" auf einen weit reichenden Wertewandel in Familienfragen. Wie die Familienpolitik auf solche Herausforderungen reagierte, zeigt die Studie im Blick auf drei zentrale Konfliktfelder: den finanziellen Familienlastenausgleich, die S

    Abstract: Review text: "Anhänge mit redaktionsgeschichtlichem Gesamtbild, Übersetzung, Stellen- und Sachregistern erschließen den pointierten und anregenden Entwurf, der sich als sehr gewichtiger Beitrag zur Redaktionsgeschichte der Samuelbücher erweisen dürfte."K. P. Adam in: Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 1/2006
    Abstract: Main description: In der jüngeren Forschung haben die beiden klassischen Hypothesen einer Aufstiegsgeschichte Davids und einer Thronfolgeerzählung an Überzeugungskraft verloren. Damit rücken die Texte in II Sam 1-5 verstärkt in den Blick, denen eine Schlüsselstellung für die literarische Genese der Davidüberlieferung zukommt. Die vorliegende Studie ermittelt einen ersten durchlaufenden und noch vorexilischen Darstellungszusammenhang, der im 7. Jh. v. Chr. entstanden ist. Entsprechend erklärt sie das Doppelkönigtum Davids über Israel und Juda als eine protodeuteronomistische Gründungsgeschichte der späten Königszeit. Die Untersuchung schließt mit einer redaktionsgeschichtlichen Skizze der Daviderzählungen im zweiten Samuelbuch und einer Revision der geschichtlichen Zeugnisse.
    Abstract: Main description: Recent research has led to a weakening of the two classical hypotheses on the story of David's rise and a succession narrative. Instead, attention has focussed on the texts in II Samuel 1-5, which are seen as being of crucial importance for the literary genesis of the story of David. The present study reveals a first continuous account from before the time of exile, which was produced in the 7th century BC. Thus it explains David's double kingship of Israel and Juda as a proto-deuteronomistic foundation narrative from the late Age of Kings. The study closes with a sketch of the editorial history of the David narratives in II Samuel and a revision of the historical records.

    Abstract: Knowledge work is now the reigning business paradigm and affects even the world of higher education. But what perspective can the knowledge of the humanities and arts contribute to a world of knowledge work whose primary mission is business? And what is the role of information technology as both the servant of the knowledge economy and the medium of a new technological cool? In The Laws of Cool, Alan Liu reflects on these questions as he considers the emergence of new information technologies and their profound influence on the forms and practices of knowledge.

    Abstract: The world around us is continually being shaped by science, and by society's relationship to it. In recent years sociologists have been increasingly preoccupied with the latter, and now in this fascinating book, Massimiano Bucchi provides a brief introduction to this topical issue. Bucchi provides clear and unassuming summaries of all the major theoretical positions within the sociology of science, illustrated with many fascinating examples. Theories covered include Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific change, the sociology of scientific knowledge, actor-network theory, and the social construction of technology. The second half of the book looks at recent public controversies over the role of science in the modern world including: * the Sokal affair, otherwise known as the science wars * debates over public understanding of science, such as global warming and genetically modified food * the implications of the human genome project. This much needed introduction to a rapidly growing area brings theory alive and will be essential reading for all students of the sociology of science.

    Abstract: Long description: Über Eliteuniversitäten und die Notwendigkeit von Eliten wird zurzeit heftig diskutiert. Aber was sind eigentlich Eliten? Was zeichnet sie aus? Sind Eliten und Demokratie überhaupt miteinander vereinbar? Michael Hartmann stellt im ersten Teil dieser Einführung die wichtigsten Elitetheorien der letzten 120 Jahre - von Mosca bis Bourdieu - in ihren wesentlichen Elementen vor und kommentiert sie kritisch. Ebenso wichtig für jeden, der sich mit Elitesoziologie beschäftigt, ist die Analyse der Eliten in den entwickelten Industrieländern, die Gegenstand des zweiten Teils sind: Wer besetzt in Wirtschaft, Politik, Verwaltung, Justiz oder Wissenschaft die Spitzenpositionen und welches sind ihre Funktionen? Michael Hartmann stellt dar, wie sich die maßgeblichen Eliten in den fünf größten Industriestaaten (Deutschland, Frankreich, Großbritannien, Japan und USA) rekrutieren, und untersucht ihre soziale Herkunft und Homogenität. Damit verbindet er auf anschauliche Weise Theorie und Empirie dieses wichtigen Teilgebiets der Soziologie.
    Abstract: Excerpt from book: Durch die von der SPD initiierte Debatte über die so genannten Eliteuniversitäten hat die Elitendiskussion in Deutschland einen neuen Schub erfahren. Plötzlich fordern Politiker, Manager und Journalisten fast unisono auch hierzulande Elitehochschulen, ein deutsches Harvard oder ein deutsches Princeton. Die berühmten privaten Eliteuniversitäten der USA werden zum unhinterfragten Vorbild für die gewünschte und bereits geplante Umgestaltung der hiesigen Hochschullandschaft. Ganz neu ist diese Vorliebe für den Begriff der Elite nicht. Schon seit Beginn der neunziger Jahre erfreut er sich einer stetig steigenden Unterstützung durch die maßgeblichen Medien, aber auch prominente Wirtschaftsvertreter und Politiker. Ihrer Ansicht nach bedarf Deutschland dringend handlungsfähiger Eliten, soll es im internationalen Wettbewerb Schritt halten und nicht im Mittelmaß versinken. Das mediale Dauerfeuer zeitigt inzwischen auch in der breiten Bevölkerung Wirkung. Zwar steht eine Mehrheit dem Begriff Elite nach wie vor kritisch bis ablehnend gegenüber, die Minderheit, die ihn bejaht, wächst aber kontinuierlich. So konnte die FAZ im letzten Oktober stolz vermelden, dass inzwischen 54 Prozent der Bundesbürger dafür seien, besonders begabte Schüler in Eliteklassen oder Eliteschulen zu fördern, und nur noch 33 Prozent dagegen. Das ist eine beachtliche Veränderung innerhalb weniger Jahre. Dennoch bleibt bei der Mehrheit der Bevölkerung ein Unbehagen, wenn von Eliten die Rede ist. Man assoziiert damit doch immer noch in erster Linie ungerechtfertigte Privilegien (wie zum Beispiel die horrenden Gehälter, Abfindungen und Pensionszusagen in den Chefetagen der deutschen Großkonzerne), Abgehobenheit und Arroganz der Macht. Man denkt an Personen wie die ehemaligen Vorstandsvorsitzenden von Mannesmann 8 und der Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Klaus Esser und Florian Gerster. Das Verhalten solcher Spitzenmanager scheint den meisten typisch zu sein für die Eliten. Wenn der Vorstandssprecher der Deutschen Bank, Josef Ackermann, vor jenem Gericht in Düsseldorf, das die außerordentlich hohen Abfindungen für die Vorstands- und Aufsichtsratsmitglieder von Mannesmann verhandelt, den Satz formuliert, Deutschland sei "das einzige Land, wo die Leute, die Werte schaffen, vor Gericht kommen", und dabei lächelt, dann bestätigt er, wenn auch ungewollt, diesen Eindruck. Ist von Elite die Rede, dann beeilen sich die Befürworter deshalb auch stets zu versichern, es dürfe sich dabei auf keinen Fall um Herkunftseliten handeln, die nur ihre Privilegien zu verteidigen suchten. Man wolle vielmehr Leistungseliten, so die übliche Formulierung, oder aber Werteliten, wie es hin und wieder auch ausgedrückt wird. Was aber verbirgt sich hinter all diesen Begriffen? Was ist unter Eliten zu verstehen? Gibt es sie und, wenn ja, wer zählt dazu? Auf all diese Fragen eine Antwort zu finden, bemüht sich die Soziologie schon seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert. Ihre Beschäftigung mit dem Thema hat dabei eine wechselvolle Geschichte. Sie kennt ausgesprochene Hochkonjunkturen wie um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert, in den dreißiger Jahren, nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg oder in jüngster Zeit, aber auch lange Phasen weitgehenden Desinteresses, aus ihrem Blickfeld verschwunden ist die Thematik aber nie. Die Frage, welche Personen eine Gesellschaft führen, wie sie das tun und woher sie kommen, hat zu allen Zeiten . mal mehr, mal weniger . die Phantasie der soziologischen Betrachter angeregt. Schaut man zwecks einer ersten begrifflichen Klärung zunächst in einschlägige Enzyklopädien wie etwa die von Brockhaus oder Meyer, dann findet man folgende Definition. Mit Elite, einem vom französischen Wort élire (auswählen) stammenden und seit dem 17. Jahrhundert in Frankreich geläufigen, seit dem 18. Jahrhundert auch in die deutsche Sprache übernommenen Begriff wird dort eine soziale Gruppe bezeichnet, "die sich durch hohe Qualifikationsmerkmale sowie durch eine besondere Leistungsfähigkeit und Leistungsbereitschaft " (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie) beziehungsweise "durch bes. Wert oder Leistung auszeichnet" (Meyers Enzyklopädisches Lexikon) und zudem die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung maßgeblich bestimmt. Historisch gesehen wurde der Begriff Elite im 18. Jahrhundert vom aufstrebenden französischen Bürgertum als demokratischer Kampfbegriff gegen Adel und Klerus entwickelt. Die individuelle Leistung sollte an Stelle der familiären Abstammung die entscheidende Voraussetzung für die Bekleidung gesellschaftlicher Spitzenpositionen bilden. Im 19. Jahrhundert veränderte sich die Verwendung des Elitebegriffs dann tief greifend. Er wurde nun als Gegenbegriff zu dem der Masse benutzt. Das Bürgertum und mit ihm die bürgerlich akademische Intelligenz waren damals zutiefst beunruhigt über das Phänomen der städtischen Massen, die mit der Bevölkerungsexplosion in Europa entstanden waren und einhergingen mit der Entstehung der industriellen Arbeiterklasse. Sie sahen die herrschende Ordnung durch politische Unruhen und revolutionäre Bestrebungen der Massen gefährdet. Die auf diesem Hintergrund formulierten klassischen Elitetheorien von Mosca, Michels und Pareto1 bildeten mit ihrer Gegenüberstellung von Elite und Masse später eine wichtige ideologische Grundlage für den aufkommenden Faschismus in Italien und Deutschland. Die von ihnen vertretene Überzeugung, dass die Herrschaft einer kleinen Elite über die große Mehrheit unumgänglich sei, wurde von den faschistischen Parteien als zentrale Begründung für das Führerprinzip benutzt. Die Diskreditierung des Elitebegriffs durch den Faschismus und der Konflikt mit dem sozialistischen Lager führten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu einer umfassenden Neubestimmung. Nachdem man sich zunächst (vor allem in Deutschland) auf den Begriff der Wertelite zurückbesonnen hatte, unter Elite, zumindest in öffentlichen Verlautbarungen, nur eine durch bestimmte moralische und ethische Qualitäten ausgezeichnete Minderheit verstand, ging man in den Sozialwissenschaften relativ schnell und später dann auch in der Öffentlichkeit dazu über, die in den USA gebräuchliche funktionalistische Definition von Eliten zu übernehmen. Diese Sichtweise dominiert bis heute, obwohl in jüngster Zeit wieder stärkere Anklänge an die klassische Dichotomie von Elite und Masse zu vernehmen sind. Ein stärker dichotomisches Weltbild erfreut sich gerade unter den Angehörigen des akademischen Bürgertums in den letzten Jahren einer deutlich wachsenden Beliebtheit. Das lässt sich an einer Reihe von Stellungnahmen im Rahmen der Diskussion über die Eliteuniversitäten ablesen. Typisch ist in dieser Beziehung der Prorektor der Universität Heidelberg, Karlheinz Meier, der seine Forderung nach einer freien Auswahl der Studierenden durch die Hochschulen mit der Aussage zu untermauern suchte: "Elite und Masse passen nicht zusammen". Es gibt ihr zufolge keine einzelne Elite mehr, die als auserwählte Minderheit der Masse gegenübersteht, und auch keine herrschende Klasse, sondern nur noch funktionale Sektor- oder Teileliten. Deren Mitglieder unterschieden sich vom Rest der Bevölkerung dadurch, dass sie wegen der von ihnen besetzten Spitzenpositionen in den verschiedenen Bereichen in der Lage seien, die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung maßgeblich zu beeinflussen. In diese Positionen seien sie dabei allein aufgrund ihrer individuellen Leistung gelangt. Es handele sich also, hier variieren die verwendeten Begriffe etwas, um leistungsabhängige Positions- oder Funktionseliten. Zu ihnen zählt die funktionalistische Eliteforschung die Inhaber der jeweils höchsten Positionen aus Politik (Mitglieder der Bundes- und Landesregierungen, Fraktions- und Parteivorstände), Verwaltung (Staatsekretäre, Ministerialdirektoren, Präsidenten wichtiger Behörden), Wirtschaft (Vorstands- und zum Teil auch Aufsichtsratmitglieder großer Unternehmen, Präsidenten und Vizepräsidenten der großen Verbände), Justiz (Bundesrichter), Medien (Eigentümer, Herausgeber, Geschäftsführer, Intendanten, Direktoren und Chefredakteure der wichtigen Medien), Wissenschaft (Hochschulrektoren und Leiter der Groß-forschungseinrichtungen), Militär (Generalität und Admiralität) und Gewerkschaften (Vorsitzende und Stellvertreter). Im Kern wird diese Auflistung von allen, das heißt auch den kritischen Eliteforschern geteilt. Einzig die Einbeziehung der Gewerkschaftsspitzen ist nicht unumstritten. Zwar finden sie in allen großen deutschen Elitestudien Berücksichtigung, sie werden aber nicht nur von kritischen Elitetheoretikern wie Mills oder Bourdieu nicht zu den gesellschaftlichen Eliten gerechnet, sondern durchaus auch von funktionalistisch orientierten wie Suzanne Keller. Das Beispiel Keller zeigt, dass sich nicht nur Theoretiker wie Bourdieu, die Eliten immer in einem engen Zusammenhang mit dem Begriff der herrschenden Klasse sehen, gegen die Klassifizierung der führenden Gewerkschafter als Elite wenden. Auch andere, weniger gesellschaftskritisch ausgerichtete Autoren beschleicht angesichts der re...

    Abstract: "Don't talk to strangers" is the advice long given to children by parents of all classes and races. Today it has blossomed into a fundamental precept of civic education, reflecting interracial distrust, personal and political alienation, and a profound suspicion of others. In this powerful and eloquent essay, Danielle Allen, a 2002 MacArthur Fellow, takes this maxim back to Little Rock, rooting out the seeds of distrust to replace them with "a citizenship of political friendship." Returning to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954 and to the famous photograph of Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Little Rock Nine, being cursed by fellow "citizen" Hazel Bryan, Allen argues that we have yet to complete the transition to political friendship that this moment offered. By combining brief readings of philosophers and political theorists with personal reflections on race politics in Chicago, Allen proposes strikingly practical techniques of citizenship. These tools of political friendship, Allen contends, can help us become more trustworthy to others and overcome the fossilized distrust among us. Sacrifice is the key concept that bridges citizenship and trust, according to Allen. She uncovers the ordinary, daily sacrifices citizens make to keep democracy working-and offers methods for recognizing and reciprocating those sacrifices. Trenchant, incisive, and ultimately hopeful, Talking to Strangers is nothing less than a manifesto for a revitalized democratic citizenry. "Allen understands that democracy originates in the subjective dimension of everyday life, and she focuses on what she calls our 'habit of citizenship'-the ways we often unconsciously regard and interact with fellow citizens. . . . [Her] focus on race is entirely appropriate."-Nick Bromell, Boston Review.

    Abstract: Niger's political history has lacked a synthesis on the army's involvement in politics since independence. The country is a fertile ground for such analysis. Between 1964 and 1999, the country witnessed three successful military coups during the democratisation process (April 1974, January 1996, and April 1999) and at least four military coup attempts (1964, 1975, 1976, 1983). In its forty years of independence, Niger has been under military rule for twenty-one years. It has also experienced seven different institutional regimes while four out of the six presidents who headed the country were soldiers. Niger evolved from the Second to the Fifth Republic in less than ten years - from the national conference (November 1991) to the last military coup (April 1999). In statistical terms, Niger has been witnessing a military coup or a military coup attempt every five-years since 1974. In addition to that, the country recorded seven mutinies and various other forms of troop rebellion between December 1963 and August 2000. In terms of institutional instability, Niger's record is unparalleled in Africa. A study on the army is therefore more needed than ever before. The recurrence with which the military appears on the political scene imposes another way of looking at Niger's army. A critical analysis of the military phenomenon, if not an assessment, would help envisage new prospects for Niger's future. This work, which was undertaken by a multi disciplinary team, suggests an analysis, from a historical and sociological perspective, of the long-standing involvement of the army in politics (the apparition of war leaders in the 19th century, the transition from colonial army to national army, the politicisation of the army and the emergence of 'military-politicians', the army sociology.). It aims at providing an answer to a key question: Why is the army so

    Abstract: This book brings together an international team of leading translation teachers and researchers to address concerns that are central in translation pedagogy. The authors address the location and weighting in translation curricula of learning and training, theory and practice, and the relationships between the profession, its practitioners, its professors and scholars. They explore the concepts of translator competence, skills and capacities and two papers report empirical studies designed to explore effects of the use of translation in language teaching. These are complemented by papers on student achievement and attitudes to translation in programmes that are not primarily designed with prospective translators in mind, and by papers that discuss language teaching within dedicated translation programmes. The introduction and the closing paper consider some causes and consequences of the odd relationships that speakers of English have to other languages, to translation and ultimately, perhaps, to their "own" language.

    Abstract: All historians would agree that America is a nation of nations. But what does that mean in terms of the issues that have moved and shaped us as a people? Contemporary concerns such as bilingualism, incorporation/assimilation, dual identity, ethnic politics, quotas and affirmative action, residential segregation, and the volume of immigration resonate with a past that has confronted variations of these modern issues. The Columbia Documentary History of Race and Ethnicity in America, written and compiled by a highly respected team of American historians under the editorship of Ronald Bayor, illuminates the myriad ways in which immigration, racial, and ethnic histories have shaped the contours of contemporary American society. This invaluable resource documents all eras of the American past, including blackwhite interactions and the broad spectrum of American attitudes and reactions concerning Native Americans, Irish Catholics, Mexican Americans, Jewish Americans, and other groups. Each of the eight chronological chapters contains a survey essay, an annotated bibliography, and 20 to 30 related public and private primary source documents, including manifestos, speeches, court cases, letters, memoirs, and much more. From the 1655 petition of Jewish merchants regarding the admission of Jews to the New Netherlands colony to an interview with a Chinese American worker regarding a 1938 strike in San Francisco, documents are drawn from a variety of sources and allow students and others direct access to our past. Selections include Powhatan to John Smith, 1609 Thomas Jefferson"Notes on the State of Virginia" Petition of the Trustees of Congregation Shearith Israel, 1811 Bessie Conway or, The Irish Girl in America German Society in Chicago, Annual Report, 18571858.

    Abstract: Algeria Facing Globalisation is a contribution by intellectuals (researchers, trade-unionists, members of associative movements) to the intellectual and material crisis which Algeria has gone through since the 1980s. The crisis, evident in the new economic downturn created by globalisation, has manifested itself through a genuine right of interference, then, at the end of the violence, through the search for new insertion into a world dominated by one super-power and by a neo-liberal economy. The contributions are strategic, assess public policies and their outcomes, and provide solutions for the crisis. Three of the contributions are of global interest and underscore, on the one hand, the crisis as turning point, with respect to Algeria's economic situation, and to trends in policies before 1988 (Mohamed Moulfi). On the other hand, the contributions underscore strategies by actors that are a disservice to reform policies and nurture corruption and the shambling of the economy (Rachid Tlem?ani). Five contributions are on sector-based policies: education (Ahmed Djebbar), banking and financial system (Fatima Zohra Oufriha), environment and sustainable development (Azzouz Kerdoun), rural development (Omar Benbekhti) and the implications of the law on Hydrocarbons (Farid Benyoucef). The authors assess the repercussions of external constraints (world market for oil and agricultural products, new information and communication technologies, and the financial market). The contributions on social movements (Ahmed Chouicha), women (Souad Bendjaballah and Fatima Zohra Sa?) and intellectuals (Tayeb Chenntouf) endeavour to assess the potentials of social transformation. Last but not least, the concluding contribution is an interim assessment of the situation (Tayeb Chenntouf). It provides potential means for solving the crisis: the setting up of a new

    Abstract: Globalization defines our era. While it has created a great deal of debate in economic, policy, and grassroots circles, many aspects of the phenomenon remain virtual terra incognita. Education is at the heart of this continent of the unknown. This pathbreaking book examines how globalization and large-scale immigration are affecting children and youth, both in and out of schools. Taking into consideration broad historical, cultural, technological, and demographic changes, the contributors--all leading social scientists in their fields--suggest that these global transformations will require youth to develop new skills, sensibilities, and habits of mind that are far ahead of what most educational systems can now deliver. Drawing from comparative and interdisciplinary materials, the authors examine the complex psychological, sociocultural, and historical implications of globalization for children and youth growing up today. The book explores why new and broader global visions are needed to educate children and youth to be informed, engaged, and critical citizens in the new millennium. Published in association with the Ross Institute.

    Abstract: A collection of essays by prominent scholars from many disciplines on the construction of public memories. The study of public memory has grown rapidly across numerous disciplines in recent years, among them American studies, history, philosophy, sociology, architecture, and communications. As scholars probe acts of collective remembrance, they have shed light on the cultural processes of memory. Essays contained in this volume address issues such as the scope of public memory, the ways we forget, the relationship between politics and memory, and the material practices of memory. Stephen Browne's contribution studies the alternative to memory erasure, silence, and forgetting as posited by Hannah Arendt in her classic Eichmann in Jerusalem. Rosa Eberly writes about the Texas tower shootings of 1966, memories of which have been minimized by local officials. Charles Morris examines public reactions to Larry Kramer's declaration that Abraham Lincoln was homosexual, horrifying the guardians of Lincoln's public memory. And Barbie Zelizer considers the impact on public memory of visual images, specifically still photographs of individuals about to perish (e.g., people falling from the World Trade Center) and the sense of communal loss they manifest. Whether addressing the transitory and mutable nature of collective memories over time or the ways various groups maintain, engender, or resist those memories, this work constitutes a major contribution to our understanding of how public memory has been and might continue to be framed.

    Abstract: The prime focus on the social processes of schooling within educational ethnography has tended to marginalise or eschew the importance of other 'informal' educational sites. Other social institutions, such as family, community, media and popular culture, work and prisons are salient arenas in which behaviours and lives are regulated. They all interrelate and are all implicated in the generation, management and development of social identities and the social and cultural reproduction of structures and relations. Individuals, though, are not merely shaped by these social institutions, their agency is evident in the way they creatively adapt and accommodate to the tensions and constraints of economic, educational and social policies. The maintenance of self in these situations requires identity work involving mediation, conflict, contestation and modes of resistance, which often contribute to a continual reconstruction of situations and contexts. This volume of "Studies in Educational Ethnography" focuses on identity and agency in a variety of social institutions in educational ethnography. The contributors explore these themes in a wide range of international contexts including: Belgium, Sweden, North America, South Africa and England. They demonstrate the capacity of educational ethnography to provide accounts of participants' perspectives and understandings to highlight the agency of educational subjects

    Abstract: This book accounts for the structural differences between 'non-creole' language varieties - such as African-American English - and their European source languages. John Holm argues that these differences resulted from 'partial restructuring', whereby some of the source languages' features were retained, but many features from the non-native speakers' language were also introduced
    Abstract: The study of partially restructured vernaculars --Social factors in partial restructuring --The verb phrase --The noun phrase --The structure of clauses --Conclusions.

    Abstract: Internet Environments for Science Education synthesizes 25 years of research to identify effective, technology-enhanced ways to convert students into lifelong science learners--one inquiry project at a time. It offers design principles for development of innovations; features tested, customizable inquiry projects that students, teachers, and professional developers can enact and refine; and introduces new methods and assessments to investigate the impact of technology on inquiry learning. The methodology-- design-based research studies --enables investigators to capture the impact of innovations in the complex, inertia-laden educational enterprise and to use these findings to improve the innovation. The approach-- technology-enhanced inquiry --takes advantage of global, networked information resources, sociocognitive research, and advances in technology combined in responsive learning environments. Internet Environments for Science Education advocates leveraging inquiry and technology to reform the full spectrum of science education activities--including instruction, curriculum, policy, professional development, and assessment. The book offers: *the knowledge integration perspective on learning, featuring the interpretive, cultural, and deliberate natures of the learner; *the scaffolded knowledge integration framework on instruction summarized in meta-principles and pragmatic principles for design of inquiry instruction; *a series of learning environments, including the Computer as Learning Partner (CLP), the Knowledge Integration Environment (KIE), and the Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (WISE) that designers can use to create new inquiry projects, customize existing projects, or inspire thinking about other learning environments; * curriculum design patterns for inquiry projects describing activity sequences to promote critique, debate, design, and investigation in science; *a partnership model establishing activity structures for teachers, pedagogical researchers, discipline experts, and technologists to jointly design and refine inquiry instruction; *a professional development model involving mentoring by an expert teacher; *projects about contemporary controversy enabling students to explore the nature of science; *a customization process guiding teachers to adapt inquiry projects to their own students, geographical characteristics, curriculum framework, and personal goals; and *a Web site providing additional links, resources, ...

    Abstract: As new communications applications are developed and brought to market, it is vital for communications professionals to keep abreast of these issues. Since the technologies and applications also affect our daily lives, it is important to understand how they will shape the country and, by extension, the world at large. International censorship, the impact of the Internet and wireless tools, and th legisation following the World Trade Center bombing all fall into this category. The New Communications Technologies, Fifth Edition, provides vital information on the new and emerging technologies that will shape the way communicators do business. The book explores the new communications technologies and covers topics ranging from multimedia and production to satellites to digital communication. Just as important, the book examines the social, economic, and political impact brought about by the adoption of such technologies and applications; this fallout includes privacy concerns, First Amendment issues, and the implications raised by biometric systems.

    Abstract: This new second edition of 'Managing People' provides a practical approach to applying up-to-the-minute management techniques, and is a vital source of information for professionals in the hotel and catering industry responsible for personnel and training. Riley explores how aspects such as labour cost, utilization, labour market behaviour and pay are inseparable from the skills of people management. In the new edition he extends his ideas on productivity so as to encompass its relationship with functional flexibility. In a similar manner, thinking about motivating people is extended to include modern ideas about commitment. We all loosely refer to peoples' attitude but here he shows the complexity that lies behind them. It is especially of relevance for managers with responsibility for personnel and training, and degree-level students will also find its non-prescriptive, user-friendly approach helpful. Michael Riley has extensive experience in the hotel and tourism industry and communicates in a way that reflects that experience.

Written by "chawla," a Final Cut Pro guru and veteran moderator on 2-Pop/Creative Cow, this book covers the interface basics and workflow but goes beyond to address intermediate techniques and timesaving tips for professional results. Roberts does not assume you have an IT staff on hand and therefore goes into crucial issues of set up, configuration, consumer advice on hardware purchasing, and troubleshooting. Equally valuable is coverage of working with formats such as standard definition, uncompressed, and FireWire DV.

    Abstract: Content and media asset management systems are core back office applications of the modern day broadcaster, yet there is little information available on the control and management of these systems and how content can be delivered over a variety of different channels: television, iTV, internet, webcasting, mobile phones and wireless PDAs. This book explains the potential for applying asset management systems to content creation models for distribution over a variety of outlets and the benefits gained from increased efficiency and lowering of costs. Taking an unbiased view and focusing on core principles rather than specific systems, David Austerberry presents the business case for digital asset management systems, demystifies some assumptions regarding the technology and provides a thorough introduction to the system components required, such as indexing, searching, middleware, database and rightsmanagement and web portals.

    Abstract: Modern system-on-chip (SoC) design shows a clear trend toward integration of multiple processor cores on a single chip. Designing a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSOC) requires an understanding of the various design styles and techniques used in the multiprocessor. Understanding the application area of the MPSOC is also critical to making proper tradeoffs and design decisions. Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chips covers both design techniques and applications for MPSOCs. Design topics include multiprocessor architectures, processors, operating systems, compilers, methodologies, and synthesis algorithms, and application areas covered include telecommunications and multimedia. The majority of the chapters were collected from presentations made at the International Workshop on Application-Specific Multi-Processor SoC held over the past two years. The workshop assembled internationally recognized speakers on the range of topics relevant to MPSOCs. After having refined their material at the workshop, the speakers are now writing chapters and the editors are fashioning them into a unified book by making connections between chapters and developing common terminology. *Examines several different architectures and the constraints imposed on them *Discusses scheduling, real-time operating systems, and compilers *Analyzes design trade-off and decisions in telecommunications and multimedia applications

    Abstract: One of the greatest challenges faced by designers of digital systems is optimizing the communication and interconnection between system components. Interconnection networks offer an attractive and economical solution to this communication crisis and are fast becoming pervasive in digital systems. Current trends suggest that this communication bottleneck will be even more problematic when designing future generations of machines. Consequently, the anatomy of an interconnection network router and science of interconnection network design will only grow in importance in the coming years. This book offers a detailed and comprehensive presentation of the basic principles of interconnection network design, clearly illustrating them with numerous examples, chapter exercises, and case studies. It incorporates hardware-level descriptions of concepts, allowing a designer to see all the steps of the process from abstract design to concrete implementation. Case studies throughout the book draw on extensive author experience in designing interconnection networks over a period of more than twenty years, providing real world examples of what works, and what doesn't. Tightly couples concepts with implementation costs to facilitate a deeper understanding of the tradeoffs in the design of a practical network. A set of examples and exercises in every chapter help the reader to fully understand all the implications of every design decision.

    Abstract: Over the last ten years, the ARM architecture has become one of the most pervasive architectures in the world, with more than 2 billion ARM-based processors embedded in products ranging from cell phones to automotive braking systems. A world-wide community of ARM developers in semiconductor and product design companies includes software developers, system designers and hardware engineers. To date no book has directly addressed their need to develop the system and software for an ARM-based system. This text fills that gap. This book provides a comprehensive description of the operation of the ARM core from a developer's perspective with a clear emphasis on software. It demonstrates not only how to write efficient ARM software in C and assembly but also how to optimize code. Example code throughout the book can be integrated into commercial products or used as templates to enable quick creation of productive software. The book covers both the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, covers Intel's XScale Processors, outlines distinctions among the versions of the ARM architecture, demonstrates how to implement DSP algorithms, explains exception and interrupt handling, describes the cache technologies that surround the ARM cores as well as the most efficient memory management techniques. A final chapter looks forward to the future of the ARM architecture considering ARMv6, the latest change to the instruction set, which has been designed to improve the DSP and media processing capabilities of the architecture. * No other book describes the ARM core from a system and software perspective. * Author team combines extensive ARM software engineering experience with an in-depth knowledge of ARM developer needs. * Practical, executable code is fully explained in the book and available on the publisher's Website. * Includes a simple embedded operating system.

    Abstract: The standards for usability and interaction design for Web sites and software are well known. While not everyone uses those standards, or uses them correctly, there is a large body of knowledge, best practice, and proven results in those fields, and a good education system for teaching professionals "how to." For the newer field of Web application design, however, designers are forced to reuse the old rules on a new platform. This book provides a roadmap that will allow readers to put complete working applications on the Web, display the results of a process that is running elsewhere, and update a database on a remote server using an Internet rather than a network connection. Web Application Design Handbook describes the essential widgets and development tools that will the lead to the right design solutions for your Web application. Written by designers who have made significant contributions to Web-based application design, it delivers a thorough treatment of the subject for many different kinds of applications, and provides quick reference for designers looking for some fast design solutions and opportunities to enhance the Web application experience. This book adds flavor to the standard Web design genre by juxtaposing Web design with programming for the Web and covers design solutions and concepts, such as intelligent generalization, to help software teams successfully switch from one interface to another. * The first interaction design book that focuses exclusively on Web applications. * Full-color figures throughout the book. * Serves as a "cheat sheet" or "fake book" for designers: a handy reference for standards, rules of thumb, and tricks of the trade. * Applicable to new Web-based applications and for porting existing desktop applications to Web browsers.

    Abstract: Praise for SAFELY PROSPEROUS or REALLY RICH? "Howard's brilliant concept that the roads to Prosperity and Riches are very different is very liberating. In most financial books, the author would never do what Howard has done-recount with unflinching honesty the big financial mistakes he and his subscribers have made over the years so readers can avoid the same stumbling blocks and pitfalls. Only a very secure man would have the guts to do that." -Robert Allen author of Multiple Streams of Income and Nothing Down "Howard Ruff is back, offering a wealth of powerful new financial advice for America's middle class. In his new manual, Safely Prosperous or Really Rich?, he challenges you to choose between two roads. The older I get, the more I favor 'Safely Prosperous,' but you make the call. I also love Howard's old-fashioned moral perspectives on money." -Mark Skousen editor of Forecasts and Strategies "Safely Prosperous or Really Rich? is destined to be one of the most influential books of the early twenty-first century, just as his mega bestseller, How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years, changed millions of lives in the late '70s. Welcome back, Howard." -John Mauldin author of Bull's Eye Investing
