While there are copious publications on classroom techniques and methods for lower levels of instruction, virtually nothing exists about this transition, which is vital for those who intend to use foreign languages in high-level international arenas. This book, by leading practitioners in this area of foreign language teaching, aims to fill this gap and assist those developing language programmes at the 'advanced to distinguished' level. Divided into three parts which provide information on different aspects of teaching at this level - theory of advanced language teaching - nine sample programs - description of highly advanced learners based on long-term experience and empirical research Presents programs in seven languages - Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, English, French and German Content is both theoretical and pragmatic", "author": "Betty Lou Leaver, Boris Shekhtman", "slug": "developing-professional-level-language-proficiency-189462-9780511030550", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780511030550.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "189462", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/189462/developing-professional-level-language-proficiency-189462-9780511030550", "bisac_codes": [ "FOR007000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780521816571", "EISBN13": "9780511030550", "EISBN10": "051103055X" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010033314243" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000189461", "attributes": { "name": "Autonomy and Trust in Bioethics", "subtitle": "", "description": "Why has autonomy been a leading idea in philosophical writing on bioethics, and why has trust been marginal? In this important book, Onora O'Neill suggests that the conceptions of individual autonomy so widely relied on in bioethics are philosophically and ethically inadequate, and that they undermine rather than support relations of trust. She shows how Kant's non-individualistic view of autonomy provides a stronger basis for an approach to medicine, science and biotechnology, and does not marginalize untrustworthiness, while also explaining why trustworthy individuals and institutions are often undeservingly mistrusted. Her arguments are illustrated with issues raised by practices such as the use of genetic information by the police or insurers, research using human tissues, uses of new reproductive technologies, and media practices for reporting on medicine, science and technology.

These frameworks have enabled scholars to renew both the microeconomics of coordination (with implications for industrial organization, labor economics, law and economics, organization design) and the macroeconomics of 'market' (decentralized) economies and of the institutional framework.

In a series of writings spanning the past four decades Professor Skinner examines, with his customary perspicuity, the evolution and character of Hobbes's political thought. An indispensable work in its own right, this volume also serves as a demonstration of those methodological theories propounded in Volume I, and as an appositional commentary on the Renaissance values of civic virtue treated in Volume II. All of Professor Skinner's work is characterised by philosophical power, limpid clarity, and elegance of exposition; these essays, many of which are now recognised classics, provide a fascinating and convenient digest of the development of his thought.

Under what conditions do women protest on the basis of their gender identity? Professor Baldez answers in terms of tipping, timing and framing. She relies on the concept of tipping to identify the point at which diverse organizations converge to form a women's movement. She argues that two conditions trigger this mobilization among women: partisan realignment, understood as the emergence of a new set of issues around which political elites define themselves, and women's decision to frame realignment in terms of widely held norms about gender difference. To illustrate these claims, she compares two very different women's movements in Chile: the mobilization of women against President Salvador Allende (19703) and that against General Augusto Pinochet (197390). Despite differences between these two movements, both emerged amidst a context of partisan realignment and framed their concerns in terms of women's exclusion from the political arena.", "author": "Lisa Baldez", "slug": "why-women-protest-189454-9780511029875-lisa-baldez", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780511029875.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "189454", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/189454/why-women-protest-189454-9780511029875-lisa-baldez", "bisac_codes": [ "POL009000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780521811507", "EISBN13": "9780511029875", "EISBN10": "051102987X" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010033303187" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000189453", "attributes": { "name": "Stealth Democracy", "subtitle": "Americans' Beliefs About How Government Should Work", "description": "Americans often complain about the operation of their government, but scholars have never developed a complete picture of people's preferred type of government.

The book furthermore contends that the Revolution of 17891799, reconceptualized in this fashion, needs to be placed in the larger contexts of 'early modern' and 'modern' French history and modern 'progressive' sociopolitical revolutions. In staking out these positions, the book offers a unique interpretation of the French Revolution, one that dissents from both the Marxian socioeconomic orthodoxy of earlier times and more recent 'political-cultural' analyses.", "author": "Bailey Stone", "slug": "reinterpreting-the-french-revolution-189449-9780511029868-bailey-stone", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780511029868.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "189449", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/189449/reinterpreting-the-french-revolution-189449-9780511029868-bailey-stone", "bisac_codes": [ "HIS010000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780521811477", "EISBN13": "9780511029868", "EISBN10": "0511029861" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010033314407" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000189448", "attributes": { "name": "Epidemiological Studies", "subtitle": "A Practical Guide", "description": "Following on in the footsteps of its acclaimed and popular predecessor, this new edition builds on the successful features that engaged readers of the first edition: it explains the principles and practice of epidemiology and serves as a handbook for those who wish to do epidemiology; it uses relevant exercises and examples, taken from real life, to illustrate how to set up a study; it aims to help produce valid results that will satisfy grant bodies, ethical committees and journal editors; ultimately it bridges the gap between theory and practice.

If this is so, Stephen Prickett argues, literary criticism can (and should) be applied to all these fields. Such new-found modesty is not necessarily postmodernist scepticism towards all grand narratives, but it often conceals a widespread confusion and naivety about what 'telling stories', 'description' or 'narrative', actually involves. While postmodernists define 'narrative' in opposition to the experimental 'knowledge' of science (Lyotard), some scientists insist that science is itself story-telling (Gould); certain philosophers and theologians even see all knowledge simply as stories created by language (Rorty; Cupitt). Yet story telling is neither innocent nor empty-handed. Prickett argues that since the eighteenth century there have been only two possible ways of understanding the world: the fundamentalist, and the ironic.", "author": "Stephen Prickett", "slug": "narrative-religion-and-science-189446-9780511029837-stephen-prickett", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780511029837.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "189446", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/189446/narrative-religion-and-science-189446-9780511029837-stephen-prickett", "bisac_codes": [ "REL000000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780521811361", "EISBN13": "9780511029837", "EISBN10": "0511029837" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010033305380" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000189445", "attributes": { "name": "Theology and the Dialogue of Religions", "subtitle": "", "description": "Theology of religions is an area of theological reflection on inter-religious relations which raises fundamental questions for all people of faith in a pluralist, post-modern world. How to practise a religious faith with integrity while respecting other claims to ultimate truth? Must 'the other' always be regarded as a problematic complication on the fringes of a Christianity-centred world? Is there a 'third way' between an all-dominating exclusivism and a vapid relativism? This book contributes to the debate about the place of inter-religious relations in the life of the Church by developing a 'theology of dialogue'. In offering a critique of much current thinking in this area, Michael Barnes SJ proposes instead a theology rooted in the themes of welcome and hospitality.

Its central questions are to what extent circuit judges' choices to adopt legal rules are influenced by the actions of other circuit judges and whether judges attempt to decide legal issues as they think the Supreme Court would in their place. Evidence comes from quantitative analyses of several hundred cases and from interviews with two dozen circuit court judges. The evidence indicates that judges give attention to the work of colleagues on their own court and other circuits and that the actions, prestige, and expertise of these colleagues are important. On the other hand, while Supreme Court precedents factor heavily in the circuit judges' decisions, expectations as to how the Supreme Court might decide appear to have little effect on their actions. These findings suggest that legal and policy goals influence judges' decision-making.", "author": "David E.

Choosing sustainability as the keystone concept of environmental policy, the author explores what we can learn about sustainable living from the philosophy of pragmatism, from ecology, from economics, from planning, from conservation biology and from related disciplines. The idea of adaptive, or experimental, management provides the context, while insights from various disciplines are integrated into a comprehensive philosophy of environmental management.
