 Reading Between the Signs: Intercultural Communication for Sign Language Interpreters By Anna Mindess 2006 | 313 Pages | ISBN: 1931930260 | PDF | 1 MB Listen up ITP trainers! "Reading Between the Signs" is a true gem and should be required reading for all students in Interpreter Training Programs nationwide. Mindess and her publisher's copy editors possess the requisite skills to render a typographically error-free book with pleasing margins and fonts, unlike Alcorn and Humphrey's "So You Want to Be an Interpreter," a required text of many ITPs. Unlike Alcorn and Humphrey, who dutifully introduce and briefly discuss cross-cultural differences and how they influence sign language interpreting, Mindess thoughtfully and thoroughly takes the reader on an extended journey with deep, eye-opening analysis and a plethora of real-world examples that interpreters encounter every day. It's easy to understand the content with so many supporting examples of it throughout the text.Like an engaging movie, play, or book that requires the moviegoer, theatergoer, or reader to use his/her critical thinking skills and comparisons to one's own experiences to what s/he experiences in that particular media, Mindess' book goes by quickly, because the content is so well-developed and on-point. I found this book quite by accident. It was on a reading list of an online course I took to prepare for the NIC Knowledge Exam. I found it to be extraordinarily helpful in filling in the gaps I had regarding cross-cultural communication between the hearing and Deaf communities. It answered a lot of questions I had and I felt much better having read it before taking the NIC Knowledge Exam (which I successfully passed). A must-have on your professional bookshelf!
 Rattiner's Review for the CFP Certification Examination, Fast Track Study Guide By Jeffrey H. Rattiner 2003 | 367 Pages | ISBN: 0471272655 | PDF | 2 MB I bought this book in order to prepare for the CFP exam. The material and organization in this book is a joke. Clearly out of date and some questions were nonsensical. I had to cram in the last week before the exam and this book made it worse. I would happily return it for a refund had I not started taking notes in the first few pages - before realizing what a waste of my time. You are better off with the Kaplan books or others out there. Don't blow your dollars here though.
 Marek Čejka, "Rabbis of our Time: Authorities of Judaism in the Religious and Political Ferment of Modern Times " English | ISBN: 1138813168 | 2015 | 248 pages | PDF | 8 MB The term 'rabbi' predominantly denotes Jewish men qualified to interpret the Torah and apply halacha, or those entrusted with the religious leadership of a Jewish community. However, the role of the rabbi has been understood differently across the Jewish world. While in Israel they control legally powerful rabbinical courts and major religious political parties, in the Jewish communities of the Diaspora this role is often limited by legal regulations of individual countries. However, the significance of past and present rabbis and their religious and political influence endures across the world.  QuickBooks Online For Dummies, 6th Edition by David H.

Terry Marks-Tarlow, "Psyche's Veil: Psychotherapy, Fractals and Complexity" English | 2008 | ISBN: 0415455448 | PDF | pages: 366 | 15.4 mb Historically, the language and concepts within clinical theory have been steeped in linear assumptions and reductionist thinking. Because the essence of psychotherapy involves change, Psyche's Veil suggests that clinical practice is inherently a nonlinear affair.  Kevin M. Ryan, "Prosodic Weight: Categories and Continua " English | ISBN: 0198817940 | 2019 | 320 pages | PDF | 43 MB This volume provides the most comprehensive treatment of phonological weight to date, bringing together traditional notions of categorical, rime-based weight and new developments in statistical prosodic phonology. The book demonstrates that while some systems treat weight as a simple (heavy vs. light) distinction, others treat it as a rich continuum of heaviness. Following an introduction to weight-sensitive systems in phonology, Kevin Ryan explores the range of phenomena that interact with prosodic weight. Chapters examine the analysis of scales in terms of prominence rather than moraic coercion; prosodic minimality in the context of larger prosodic constituents; syllable weight in metrics; and the relationship between prosodic end-weight and stress. Throughout, the analysis is based on a survey of weight systems both within and across the world's languages, which yields a number of valuable generalizations and points towards a universal theory of weight in human language.
