For the first time, the Gifted Child Today Reader series brings together the best articles published in Gifted Child Today, the nation's most popular gifted education journal. Each book in this series is filled with exciting and practical classroom ideas, useful summaries of research findings, discussions of identification and classroom management, and informed opinions about educating gifted kids. Anyone involved in education will benefit from the practical, research-based ideas this unique series has to offer. Students who are gifted in English and language arts are able to discern the authors' purpose, anticipate layers of meaning, and use prior knowledge to make connections between the present text and the previous experiences, a complicated feat for any young child. "Language Arts for Gifted Students" offers information on the characteristics and identification of students who are gifted in English and language arts; how to develop differentiated curricula that include multicultural components; and specific teaching strategies, such as integrating drama with literature, using storytelling activities, and developing a writers' workshop.
Sonority is a central notion in phonetics and phonology and it is essential for generalizations related to syllabic organization. However, to date there is no clear consensus on the phonetic basis of sonority, neither in perception nor in production. The widely used Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP) represents the speech signal as a sequence of discrete units, where phonological processes are modeled as symbol manipulating rules that lack a temporal dimension and are devoid of inherent links to perceptual, motoric or cognitive processes. The current work aims to change this by outlining a novel approach for the extraction of continuous entities from acoustic space in order to model dynamic...

The saga of the Lombards, a uniquely American family, born into San Francisco's landed aristocracy, but soon irrevocably caught up in the troubled waters of war-torn Europe and the Pacific.
Die großen Zukunftsaufgaben der Gegenwart - Klimakrise, digitale Transformation, soziale Gerechtigkeit - sind systematisch ineinander verzahnt und befördern einen tiefgreifenden Wandel. Damit verbundene ökologische, wirtschaftliche und soziale Herausforderungen machen eine umfassende gesellschaftliche Transformation in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit notwendig. Was aber muss sich ändern? Wie soll diese Transformation gestaltet werden? Und vom wem? Die Größenordnung der sozialökologischen Transformation macht deutlich, wie notwendig vernetztes Denken ist und welches Potenzial inter- und transdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit birgt. Der elfte Band der Reihe 'University - Society - Industry' führt Perspektiven von Praktiker*innen und Wissenschafter*innen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen zusammen. Gemeinsam werfen sie einen kritischen Blick auf zentrale Transformationsschauplätze und entwickeln umsichtige Strategien für eine nachhaltige Lebens-, Arbeits- und Wirtschaftsweise. Darüber hinaus wenden sie sich einer Akteurin der sozialökologischen Transformation besonders zu: der Stadt als Experimentierraum für Nachhaltigkeit.
