Quickly Changing River $12.98 With her strong voice and precise language, Meena Alexander has crafted this visceral, worldly collection of poems. The experience she brings to the reader is sensual in many senses of the word, as she invokes bright colors, sounds, smells, and feelings. Her use of vivid imagery from the natural world—birds, lilies, horses—up against that from the world of humans—oppression, slavery, and violence—ties her work to the earth even as she works a few mystical poetic transformations.In Alexander’s world, the songs of a bird can become the voice of a girl in a café and the red juice of mulberries can be as shocking as blood. When she focuses her attention on the cloth of a girl’s sari, the material of a woman’s life, or the blood in her veins, she speaks to the particular experience of women in the world. The women are vividly present—sometimes they are hidden or veiled, juxtaposed with open gardens in full bloom. It is difficult not to come away from Quickly Changing River without a new sense of the power and frailty of being alive. Aletheia (Girl in River Water) First I saw your face,The your whole body lying still Hands jutting, eyelids shut Twin nostrils flare, sheerEfflorescebce when memory cannot speak-a horde of body parts glistening.

Language Development and Learning to Read $24.48 Research on reading has tried, and failed, to account for wide disparities in reading skill even among children taught by the same method. Why do some children learn to read easily and quickly while others, in the same classroom and taught by the same teacher, don’t learn to read at all? In Language Development and Learning to Read, Diane McGuinness examines scientific research that might explain these disparities. She focuses on reading predictors, analyzing the effect individual differences in specific perceptual, linguistic, and cognitive skills may have on a child’s ability to read. Because of the serious methodological problems she finds in the existing research on reading, many of the studies McGuinness cites come from other fields — developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, and the speech and hearing sciences — and provide a new perspective on which language functions matter most for reading and academic success. McGuinness first examines the phonological development theory — the theory that phonological awareness follows a developmental path from words to syllables to phonemes — which has dominated reading research for thirty years, and finds that research evidence from other disciplines does not support the theory. McGuinness then looks at longitudinal studies on the development of general language function, and finds a "tantalizing connection" between core language functions and reading success. Finally, she analyzes mainstream reading research, which links reading ability to specific language skills, and the often flawed methodology used in these studies.

Eager to Learn $27.48 Clearly babies come into the world remarkably receptive to its wonders. Their alertness to sights, sounds, and even abstract concepts makes them inquisitive explorers–and learners–every waking minute. Yet, for a variety of reasons, far too little attention is given to the quality of these crucial years. What will it take to provide better early education and care for our children between the ages of two and five? Eager to Learn explores this crucial question, synthesizing the newest research findings on how young children learn and the impact of early learning. Key discoveries in how young children learn are reviewed in language accessible to parents as well as educators. Perhaps most significant, the book documents how very early in life learning really begins. The book discusses: evidence for competing theories, models, and approaches in the field and a hard look at some day-to-day practices and activitiesgenerally used in preschool; the role of the teacher, the importance of peer interactions, and other relationships in the child’s life; learning needs of minority children, children with disabilities, and other special groups; approaches to assessing young children’s learning for the purposes of policy decisions, diagnosis of educational difficulties, and instructional planning; and preparation and continuing development of teachers.

Learning a New Language $17.48 “Nothing we can ever say about God, no words, will ever be adequate to describe the burning mystery which is the Divine, but opening up the vocabulary to include feminine names and pronouns will bring a dimension to our understanding of God that has been tragically neglected. The idea of SHE WHO IS brings to bear all the loving, care-giving, wisdom-supplying richness of the female created in God’s image. The reality of the feminine in God is an idea we must consider and wrestle with if justice for all is to be a reality in the world. We must learn a new language.” (from Learning a New Language)

If you suspect that your child may have a learning problem–or if you simply want to help them be ready–here is the book to read before he or she enters the school system: a realistic, humorous, and kind-hearted guide to helping your little one learn. In Ready to Learn, Stan Goldberg draws on thirty years of clinical experience (and personal experience as the father of two kids with learning differences) to provide an easy-to-use guide to helping children overcome any problems and improve their learning skills. Illustrating his discussion with many anecdotes about teaching both his own children and children in his private practice, Goldberg walks readers through the process of learning and shows how to identify a learning problem.

He looks at seven down-to-earth strategies that will allow you to create the best plan to help your child overcome their problem and he provides many handy charts and figures that will help you organize your efforts. The book also includes a list of useful web sites and a chart of development milestones, outlining motor skills, cognitive-sensory skills, and language and social skills.

Why You Need a Foreign Language & How to Learn One $19.98 In the age of globalization, English-speakers have largely neglected the languages of others, trusting instead in the promise of an international version of English. In Why You Need a Foreign Language & How to Learn One, author Edward Trimnell makes a contrarian case for a renewed emphasis on foreign language skills in the United States, Great Britain, and elsewhere in the English-speaking world. Drawing on topics as wide-ranging as military intelligence and international business, Trimnell explains why our neglect of foreign languages makes us dangerously dependent on the language skills of others. The book also explores the "truth and the hype" about English as an international language, and explains the functional limitations of English as a global means of communication. Finally, the book describes techniques and resources that businesspersons and other professionals can use to acquire a language through independent study.

Learn Prolog Now! $29.48 Prolog is a programming language, but a rather unusual one. “Prolog” is short for “Programming with Logic”, and the link with logic gives Prolog its special character. At the heart of Prolog lies a surprising idea: don’t tell the computer what to do. Instead, describe situations of interest, and compute by asking questions. Prolog will logically deduce new facts about the situations and give its deductions back to us as answers. Why learn Prolog? For a start, its “say what the problem is, rather than how to solve it” stance, means that it is a very high level language, good for knowledge rich applications such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and the semantic web. So by studying Prolog, you gain insight into how sophisticated tasks can be handled computationally. Moreover, Prolog requires a different mindset. You have to learn to see problems from a new perspective, declaratively rather than procedurally. Acquiring this mindset, and learning to appreciate the links between logic and programming, makes the study of Prolog both challenging and rewarding. Learn Prolog Now! is a practical introduction to this fascinating language. Freely available as a web-book since 2002 (see www.learnprolognow.org) Learn Prolog Now! has became one of the most popular introductions to the Prolog programming language, an introduction prized for its clarity and down-to-earth approach. It is widely used as a textbook at university departments around the world, and even more widely used for self study. College Publications is proud to present here the first hard-copy version of this online classic. Carefully revised in the light of reader’s feedback, and now with answers to all the exercises, here you will find the essential material required to help you learn Prolog now.

The Will to Learn $90.98 Martin Covington introduces the basic principles of motivation in a readable, nontechnical form as they apply to classroom learning.

Traditional teaching methods, including conventional grading procedures and an emphasis on competition, can contribute to student demoralization, and Covington identifies the ways in which students respond to misguided incentives. The book suggests practical, concrete ways that teachers can transform classroom incentives into a positive desire to learn. It features a series of illustrative exercises at the end of each chapter and includes the latest research on gender and ethnic differences in motivation and learning in schools.
