Multilingual Development
English as a global lingua franca interacts with other languages across a wide range of multilingual contexts. Combining insights from linguistics, education studies, and psychology, this book addresses the role of English within the current linguistic dynamics of globalization. It takes Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai as case studies to illustrate the use of English in different multilingual urban areas, arguing that these are places where competing historical assessments, and ideological conceptions of monolingualism and multilingualism, are being acted out most forcefully. It critically appraises the controversial concept of multilingual advantages, and studies multilingual cross-linguistic influence in relation to learning English in bilingual heritage contexts. It also scrutinises multilingual language policies in their impact on attitudes, identities, and investment into languages. Engaging and accessible, it is essential reading for academic researchers and advanced students of bi- and multilingualism, globalization, linguistic diversity, World Englishes, sociolinguistics, and second/third language acquisition.

Energy Security and Environmental Sustainability in the Western Hemisphere
In light of the rapid fluctuations in oil prices and subsequent impact on the stability and economic perspectives of energy producing and energy importing states in the Western Hemisphere, this book stresses the urgency to integrate sustainability at the very core of national energy security strategies. From Canada to Argentina, this edited volume analyzes a series of case studies and diverging paradigms across the continent. It underlines how the relatively recent exploitation of unconventional energy sources in North America and the resulting impact on prices impact the geopolitical concerns of traditional producers. It also explains how much energy strategies are central to the developmen...

About My Mother
Since she's been ill, Lalla Fatma has become a frail little thing with a faltering memory. Lalla Fatma thinks she's in Fez in 1944, where she grew up, not in Tangier in 2000, where this story begins. She calls out to family members who are long dead and loses herself in the streets of her childhood, yearning for her first love and the city she left behind. By her bedside, her son Tahar listens to long-hidden secrets and stories from her past: married while still playing with dolls and widowed for the first time at the age of sixteen. Guided by these fragments, Tahar vividly conjures his mother's life in post-war Morocco, unravelling the story of a woman for whom resignation was the only way ...

El projecte de l'espai viari
El tombant del segle XIX al XX fou prolífic en la producció de manuals en l’àmbit de la bibliografia urbanística. Recordem els textos de Stübben, Baumeister, Eberstad i Henard o, una mica més tardà, el Town Planning in Practice de Raymond Unwin. Eren anys d’afirmació d’una disciplina i de difusió de tècniques i conceptes, i aquells manuals tenien la immensa utilitat de resumir el més substancial d’una matèria. Més tard, cap als anys seixanta i setanta, destaquen tot un seguit de textos de disseny urbà impulsats pel Greater London Council. I ara, a l’inici del segle XXI, en temps d’incerteses en el camp de l’urbanisme, tornem a necessitar bons manuals, com és aque...
Bolívar, Patriota e Internacionalista
La feliz ocasión de conmemorarse el 24 de julio de 1983 el bicentenario del natalicio del Libertador Simón Bolívar, me ha movido a escribir este breve ensayo sobre el "Bolívar Patriota e Internacionalista”, que pone de relieve maravillosas facetas de la extraordinaria personalidad del genio americano, como hombre de Estado, patriota integral, sociólogo, político, militar, y sobre todo, de inmaculada probidad. Este libro va dirigido particularmente a las juventudes colombianas, porque hoy más que nunca nuestra patria necesita de redoblada carga de dinámica y esfuerzo. Corresponde a las nuevas generaciones mante-ner la grandeza de la Patria y guiar su destino; y qué mejor que nutrir...
