 Caroline Guardino, "Deaf and Hard of Hearing Multilingual Learners: Foundations, Strategies, and Resources" English | ISBN: 1032155655 | 2022 | 232 pages | PDF | 5 MB This critical resource provides foundational information and practical strategies for learners who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing (d/Dhh) multilingual learners. These learners come from backgrounds where their home languages differ from the dominant spoken or sign languages of the culture. This book is a one-stop resource for professionals, interventionists, and families, helping them to effectively support the diverse needs of d/Dhh multilingual learners by covering topics such as family engagement, assessment, literacy, multiple disabilities, transition planning, and more. The book provides vignettes of learners from 25 countries, discussion questions, and family-centered infographic briefs that synthesize each chapter. Deaf and Hard of Hearing Multilingual Learners is a groundbreaking step towards better supporting the many languages and cultures d/Dhh students experience in their lifetime through strength-based and linguistically responsive approaches.  D Ferrett, "Dark Sound: Feminine Voices in Sonic Shadow " English | ISBN: 1501325809 | 2020 | 272 pages | PDF | 1421 KB Read more  Current Issues in Project Analysis for Development By John Weiss, David Potts, John Weiss, David Potts 2012 | 299 Pages | ISBN: 1848445350 | PDF | 5 MB For over fifty years project analysis techniques have been applied in the assessment of development projects where poorly designed and appraised projects can waste scarce resources. This study examines the continued relevance of this approach, assesses methodological developments over this period and investigates current practical problems in the application of these techniques. This major work brings together authors with experience of both academic and operational project work to focus on issues such as the shadow exchange rate, the shadow wage, the discount rate and assessment of poverty impact and risk, as well as problems relating to specific sectors covering environmental projects, transport, education and health. There are also general chapters on the experience of semi-input-output-based estimation of shadow prices and the relevance of shadow pricing techniques to the context of developed economies in the EU. An overview by the editors sets out the evolution of the literature and highlights current issues. The general conclusion is that project analysis techniques remain relevant, albeit within a very different development context to that in which they were originally envisaged to be applied. With new perspectives on key economic parameters, this book will appeal to academics working on development, officials involved with project aid programs, postgraduate students of development and professional economists working on development projects.

Weiss  Cryptosocial: How Cryptocurrencies Are Changing Social Media by Allen Taylor English | March 8th, 2022 | ISBN: 1637421834 | 294 pages | True EPUB | 2.07 MB Cryptocurrency & Social Media Have Married and This is What It Looks Like  Maggie O'Neill, "Criminal Women: Gender Matters" English | ISBN: 1529208394 | 2021 | 152 pages | PDF | 10 MB Accounts of female offenders' journeys into the criminal justice system are often silenced or marginalised. Featuring a Foreword from Pat Carlen, and updating her seminal book 'Criminal Women', this collection uses participatory, inclusive and narrative methodologies to highlight the lived experiences of these women. It presents studies focused on drug use and supply, sex work, sexual exploitation and experiences of imprisonment including self-harm, maternal loss and education. Bringing together cutting-edge feminist research, this book exposes the oppression and social control which is often central to women's experiences of the justice system. The contributors offer invaluable insights for the development of penal policies which account for the needs of women.  Coronavirus Replication and Reverse Genetics by Luis Enjuanes English | PDF | 2005 | 260 Pages | ISBN : 3540214941 | 3.3 MB Coronaviruses are the RNA viruses with the largest genome known to date (27 to 32 kb). Members of this virus family affect most domestic animal species, causing important socio-economical losses, and also infect humans.  Peter M. Lewis, "Coping with Crisis in African States" English | ISBN: 1626372292 | 2016 | 235 pages | PDF | 1502 KB Although large-scale conflicts, political upheavals, and social violence are common problems throughout Africa, individual countries vary greatly in both their susceptibility to these crises and their capacities for responding effectively. What accounts for this variance? How do crises emerge, and how are they resolved? When are unexpected events most likely to spiral into crisis? Are there institutions and policies that can help to manage adverse shocks? The authors of Coping with Crisis in African States assess the capability for crisis management in countries across the continent, shedding new light on the sources of instability in the region, as well as on comparative questions of state capacity and resilience.  Harold Wolman, "Coping with Adversity: Regional Economic Resilience and Public Policy" English | ISBN: 0801478545 | 2017 | 278 pages | PDF | 3 MB Coping with Adversity addresses the question of why some metropolitan-area regional economies are resilient in the face of economic shocks and chronic distress while others are not. It is particularly concerned with what public policies make a difference in whether a region is resilient. The authors employ a wide range of techniques to examine the experience of all metropolitan area economies from 1978-2014. They then look closely at six American metropolitan areas to determine what strategies were employed, which of these contributed to regional economic resilience, and which did not. Charlotte, North Carolina, Seattle, Washington, and Grand Forks, North Dakota, are cases of economic resilience, while Cleveland, Ohio, Hartford, Connecticut, and Detroit, Michigan, are cases of economic nonresilience. The six case studies include hard data on employment, production, and demographics, as well as material on public policies and actions.  Marie-Eve Morin, "Continental Realism and Its Discontents " English | ISBN: 1474421148 | 2017 | 190 pages | PDF | 2 MB Speculative realism challenges philosophical approaches and traditions for supposedly failing to do justice to the real world. Taking this realist challenge seriously, Continental Realism and Its Discontents refuses to discard the philosophical contributions of Kant, Schelling, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Nancy without closer scrutiny. Instead, the contributors turn to these thinkers to meet the challenge of realism in contemporary philosophy.  Arnab Banerji, "Contemporary Group Theatre in Kolkata, India " English | ISBN: 0367496127 | 2021 | 182 pages | PDF | 38 MB This book is the first of its kind offering a materialistic semiotic analysis of a non-Western theatre culture: Bengali group theatre. Arnab Banerji fills two lacunas in contemporary theatre scholarship. First, the materialist semiotic approach to studying a non-Western theatre event allows Banerji to critically examine the material conditions in which theatre is created and seen outside the Euro-American context. And second, by shifting the critical lens onto a contemporary urban theatre phenomenon from India, the book attempts to even out the scholastic imbalance in Indian theatre scholarship which has largely focused on folk and classical traditions. |
