Pruit`s analysis of preschool teachers` talk and interaction addresses pertinent sociological and early childhood education themes, including classroom management, social control, emotions, and identity construction.
A history of mainline Protestant responses to immigrants and refugees during the twentieth century Open Hearts, Closed Doors uncovers the largely overlooked role that liberal Protestants played in fostering cultural diversity in America and pushing for new immigration laws during the forty years following the passage of the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924. These efforts resulted in the complete reshaping of the US cultural and religious landscape.
During this period, mainline Protestants contributed to the national debate over immigration policy and joined the charge for immigration reform, advocating for a more diverse pool of newcomers. They were successful in their efforts, and in 1965 the quota system based on race and national origin was abolished. But their activism had unintended consequences, because the liberal immigration policies they supported helped to end over three centuries of white Protestant dominance in American society.
Yet, Pruitt argues, in losing their cultural supremacy, mainline Protestants were able to reassess their mission. They rolled back more strident forms of xenophobia, substantively altering the face of mainline Protestantism and laying foundations for their responses to today’s immigration debates. More than just a historical portrait, this volume is a timely reminder of the power of religious influence in political matters.

Описание: "This story is an exciting, fresh twist on the time travel genre." Remember the time, after a particular encounter, you said to yourself, "Well, that could have gone better." Or the moment you did something, or did nothing, that you instantly regretted. And in the back of your mind, you desperately wished you had a "do-over." In the novel, Do-Overs, Jake Patterson, a 72-year-old retiree, discovers that he can travel back through his own timeline and actually change those failed opportunities that he, like you, experienced in his life. And, while those second chances are not history-changing and don't alter any outcomes, Jake feels a little better about himself. They are exhilarating experiences, until he's pushed to uncover the answer to an awful question that's been haunting him for nearly 50 years. Finding that answer forces him to "do over" one hellish night as a soldier in the Central Highlands of Vietnam as a 23-year-old. When he makes a spur-of-the-moment decision that saves a friend, he begins to understand, to his horror, that when you mess with time for any reason-no matter how innocent or well-intended-sooner or later, she's going to seriously mess with you. "A stirring ride through a violent war experience that catapults the reader onto the floor of the real (and imagined) chaos that was the 1976 Republican Convention."

Описание: Lexical functional grammar refers to a grammatical framework in theoretical linguistics which is constraint-based. It presents syntactic structures on two different levels. The first level is a phrase structure grammar which represents constituency and word order. The second is the representation of grammatical functions such as subject and object. In this discipline, the structure of language is considered to be made up of multiple dimensions. Every dimension is defined as a distinct structure having its own concepts, form and rules. The primary goal of this discipline is the creation of a model of grammar which has a depth which attracts linguistics as well as a formal rigidity for the benefit of computational linguists. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of lexical-functional grammar and related fields. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
