Writing in the Devil's Tongue: A History of English Composition in China - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Asense of complacency, if not outright chauvinism, is tangible these daysin certain parts of American composition studies. Sensational state-ments of one kind or another—“Composition Studies Saves the World!”;“Globalizing Composition”; “Transnationalizing/Globalizing Rhetoric andComposition Studies”; and so forth—reveal not only tremendous disciplin-ary pride but also compositionists’ confidence in what the discipline cando: namely, rescue the troubled world at large.1 And why shouldn’t we beconfident about what the discipline can achieve? After all, we have gaineda better understanding of our students, students of diverse linguistic, cul-tural, racial, sexual, and class backgrounds who have made such a strongpresence in American universities since the 1960s; and we have developedeffective pedagogical approaches to address those students’ needs. Project-ing this national experience to the rest of the globe, we naturally becomeoptimistic. Indeed, the rest of the world is also hopeful now, looking toAmerican composition studies for standards of English writing practicesand proven pedagogies.As the teaching of composition is increasingly connected to global po-litico-economic dynamics, our disciplinary effort to lift composition out ofnarrow nation-state bounds is the right direction to go. However, Americancomposition scholars do not seem fully cognizant of the geopolitical differ-ences and stakes involved in the teaching of English writing. For one thing,while English has been taught as the native language, the official language,or a second language in the United States, it is typically taught as a foreignlanguage in the majority of nations in the world. A different name for Englishentails a different history of the language in a particular country. A differ-ent name for English entails a whole different constellation of values andpractices in teaching English writing

Residents' Teaching Skills (Springer Series on Medical Education) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: After a 2-year stint as a research fellow in nephrology, I returned to BostonCity Hospital in order to complete my 3rd year of internal medicine residen-cy. During the course of my fellowship, I'd done research on acid-basedisorders—an area that most medical students and residents find very con-fusing. Because of my research experience, the faculty and attendings as-sumed that I could teach this arcane subject to my peers and to our medicalstudents. With no training whatsoever in teaching (yes, even as a 3rd-yearresident!), I was assigned the task of putting together a lecture/seminar se-ries. To this day, I'm not sure whom the experience was worse for: theanxious, utterly unprepared "instructor" (me), or the learners, who probablygot very little satisfactory instruction from the seminar despite my mostearnest efforts.Does this sound familiar? It's an experience that nearly all of us have hadat some point during our residency: the sudden, sickening realization thatwe're going to be expected not only to care for patients, but to teach themedical students that we all too recently were ourselves. And we have abso-lutely no idea what to do. For more than a few residents, a crashing patientin the emergency room may be a lot less daunting than a clutch of earnestmedical students following in their wake and waiting for their wisdom.Traditionally, medical residents have not received the formal preparationthat is essential to the transition from full-time learner to at least part-timeteacher. Although many residents make that transition successfully through asort of osmosis, many more do not, and they remain ineffective teachersthroughout their residencies. With some estimates indicating that residentsare responsible for as much as 80% of student teaching, this is clearly anuntenable situation for medical education. Nor is it permissible according tothe standards of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which statethat "Residents must be fully informed about the educational objectives ofthe clerkships and be prepared for their roles as teachers and evaluators ofmedical students.
You Have a Point There: A Guide to Punctuation and Its Allies - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: SOME DAY a doctorate will justly be awarded to a scholar braveenough to write a history of the theory and practice of British andAmerican punctuation, from the time when there certainly was noneuntil the time when there will perhaps be none.I have aimed at something much less ambitious. Eschewing all butthe most recent history—except, here and there, for the sake of anexample—I deal only with the theory and especially the practice ofpunctuation as we know it today and knew it yesterday; and withsuch allies or accessories as capitals, italics, quotation marks,hyphens, paragraphs.Acquainted with ‘the literature of the subject’, I recognize themerits, both of such books as that of T.F. and M.F.A.Husband, that ofMr G.V.Carey and that of Mr Reginald Skelton, and of the chapters orentries in such works as the Fowler brothers’ The King’s English,H.W.Fowler’s Modern English Usage and G.H.Vallins’s Good English.This recognition and that knowledge strongly confirm me in adetermination (publicly stated in the article on punctuation in Usageand Abusage, 1942 in U.S.A., 1947 in Britain) to write a comprehensiveguide to punctuation and its concomitants. Such a guide is very badlyneeded, especially in what I have called ‘orchestration’: andorchestration forms the subject of the quite painfully practicalBook III.
Retire Secure!: Pay Taxes Later The Key to Making Your Money Last as Long as You Do - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Retire Secure! is written for consumers and advisors who wor-ry about these essential questions: “Will I have enough incomewhen I retire?” and “Will it last as long as I might?” These ques-tions might have additional significance for the wife of a maleretiree because she is statistically likely to survive her husband.Jim has properly identified the three stages of retirementplanning: accumulation, distribution, and estate planning, andreaders will fi nd the organization extremely helpful. They canquickly place themselves along the continuum of the retirementprocess and fi nd excellent recommendations for each stage oftheir journey.Understanding the implications of various retirement plan-ning decisions requires looking at the numbers. There is no get-ting around that. Comparing and contrasting different optionsguides the consumer into making the right choices. Jim takes allthe work out of this by providing numerous comparisons. Gradu-ally the reader is educated and informed—and making the rightchoices becomes easier.An important issue is, “Which account (Roth, IRA, 401(k),403(b), after tax, etc.) is the best to make withdrawals from first?”This is very clearly addressed in the book despite the fact that theexplanation cannot be simple or the response universal. It de-pends on an individual’s particular circumstances, and Jim avoidsgiving the reader the simplified, and often wrong, answer.The mini case studies are a real eye-opener for all readers,both consumers and financial advisors, because they mathemati-cally prove Jim’s assertions. Each comparison and mini case studyis based on several assumptions, which Jim is careful to point outin a clear fashion. I particularly enjoyed Mini Case Study 5.2about the disastrous execution of beneficiary forms and the deci-sion of Junior not to sue the careless estate administrator—hismother
Light (Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It series) (Robertson, William C. Stop Faking It!,) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Back when I was in college, there was a course titled Physics for Poets. At aschool where I taught physics, the same kind of course was referred to by thestudents as Football Physics. The theory behind having courses like these was thatpoets and/or football players, or basically anyone who wasn’t a science geek, neededsome kind of watered-down course because most of the people taking the coursewere—and this was generally true—SCARED TO DEATH OF SCIENCE.In many years of working in education, I have found that the vast majorityof elementary school teachers, parents who home school their kids, and parentswho just want to help their kids with science homework fall into this category.Lots of “education experts” tell teachers they can solve this problem by justasking the right questions and having the kids investigate science ideas on theirown. These experts say you don’t need to understand the science concepts. Inother words, they’re telling you to fake it! Well, faking it doesn’t work when itcomes to teaching anything, so why should it work with science? Like it or not,you have to understand a subject before you can help kids with it. Ever triedteaching someone a foreign language without knowing the language?The whole point of the Stop Faking It! series of books is to help you under-stand basic science concepts and to put to rest the myth that you can’t under-stand science because it’s too hard. If you haven’t tried other ways of learningscience concepts, such as looking through a college textbook, or subscribing toScientific American, or reading the incorrect and oversimplified science in anelementary school text, please feel free to do so and then pick up this book. Ifyou find those other methods more enjoyable, then you really are a science geekand you ought to give this book to one of us normal folks. Just a joke, okay?
No Perfect People Allowed: Creating a Come-as-You-Are Culture in the Church - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: People ask me how long it took to write this book. The truth is—aboutfifteen years.I left the business world for campus ministry fifteen years agobecause I wanted to help my generation find authentic faith like I was begin-ning to experience. The first seven years of ministry to America’s first post-modern* generation were discouraging—I almost lost hope. Since then,God has turned my philosophy of church and ministry upside down. I nowbelieve that only a church full of imperfect people, acting as his Body, canbring the hope and healing needed to change our postmodern world for thebetter—one life at a time. That’s why I’ve written this book, because I seeGod powerfully at work in our generation.A year ago I attended a conference about ministry in a postmoderncontext. I found myself terribly discouraged and bothered—and tired ofmodern-church deconstruction! For the past six years, I’ve read numerousbooks, attended conferences, and surfed the blogs about the emergingtrends of new generations and their new ways of thinking. We have decon-structed everything, identified all the problems with the current church,and proclaimed what we knew would not work. We’ve read statisticians likeBarna, Gallup, and Regele warn of the impending doom for our generationand the church in America.
Drug Transporters: Molecular Characterization and Role in Drug Disposition (Wiley Series in Drug Discovery and Development) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Transporters are membrane proteins that span cellular membranes and are the gate-keepers for all cells and organelles, controlling the intake and efflux of crucial en-dogenous substrates such as sugars, amino acids, nucleotides, and inorganic ions.The specificity of many transporters is not, however, limited to their physiologicalsubstrates, and for some, their physiological substrates remain undiscovered. Xeno-biotics (i.e., drugs, dietary and environmental compounds) have the potential to berecognized by transporters, which crucially influence the absorption, distribution, andelimination of drugs in the body.Due to their hydrophobic nature and relatively low abundance, the molecular iden-tification of transporters had been a difficult task until the development of the expres-sion cloning technique for transporters in the early 1990s. This powerful approach,combined with recent genome analysis, has facilitated the identification and charac-terization of numerous transporters that are important in drug disposition.
You Must Be from the North: Southern White Women in the Memphis Civil Rights Movement - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Echol Cole and Robert Walker died in a freak accident on 30 January1968 while working for the City of Memphis Sanitation Department.Trapped inside one of the city’s numerous archaic and dilapidated gar-bage packers, these men died a grisly death from injuries sustainedwhile operating the machinery. Their fellow workers staged a walkoutin protest of abysmal working conditions thirteen days later. Strikingsanitation workers believed that a walkout would prove to be their onlybargaining tool in an ongoing struggle between the public works em-ployees and their employer, the city of Memphis, over issues surround-ing better wages and the improvement of working conditions.Mayor Henry Loeb refused to negotiate with the striking workers,due to his belief that the strike was an illegal one. A local court decisionbuttressed Loeb’s belief in the illegality of the strike. According to a billpresented to the Chancery Court of Memphis, the strikers violated aninjunction of 26 August 1966 that prohibited “employees of the PublicWorks Department of the City of Memphis . . . [from] striking against theCity of Memphis.” The ruling also applied to those “influencing, advis-ing, coercing or directing employees of the Public Works Department . . .not to report to work in the usual and customary place and time.” Loeb’slack of sympathy for the striking workers derived not only from hisnotions of the illegality of the strike, but also from his personal racialattitudes toward the overwhelmingly African American sanitation work-ers.1آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
