Nothing, Nobody
September 19, 1985: A powerful earthquake hits Mexico City in the early morning hours. As the city collapses, the government fails to respond. Long a voice of social conscience, prominent Mexican journalist Elena Poniatowska chronicles the disintegration of the city's physical and social structure, the widespread grassroots organizing against government corruption and incompetence, and the reliency of the human spirit. As a transformative moment in the life of mexican society, the earthquake is as much a component of the country's current crisis as the 1982 debt crisis, the problematic economic of the last ten years, and the recent elections. In masterfully weaving together a multiplicity of...
The Continuity of Linguistic Change
The Continuity of Linguistic Change presents a collection of selected papers in honour of Professor Juan Andrés Villena-Ponsoda. The essays revolve around the study of linguistic variation and the mechanisms and processes associated with linguistic change, a field to which Villena-Ponsoda has dedicated so many years of research. The authors are researchers of renowned international prestige who have made significant contributions in this field. The chapters cover a range of related topics and provide modern theoretical and methodological perspectives, addressing the structural, cognitive, historical and social factors that underlie and promote linguistic change in varieties of Dutch, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. The reader will find contributions that explore topics such as phonology, acoustic phonetics and processes deriving from the contact between languages or linguistic varieties, specifically levelling, koineisation, standardisation and the emergence of ethnolects.
Broken Bars
Elena Poniatowska, Angeles Mastretta, Silvia Molina, and Brianda Domecq are Mexican writers whose works are beginning to attract substantial critical attention. To date, their work is not well known in the United States nor can readers obtain much information about the writers themselves. By combining in-depth interviews with critical essays, Kay Garcia provides an invaluable service to those who would like to have a better understanding of contemporary Mexican writing. Using a feminist literary critical approach, Garcia explores the connections between the writers' lives and their works. Both the writers and their protagonists have attempted to shape realities for themselves that contradict official discourses and boundaries. Unlike many writers of fiction today, these women give voice to the marginalized elements of Mexican society. The interviews, critical essays, and bibliography of Broken Bars will serve to make their works more accessible to readers in the United States.
Science for English Language Learners

With engaging stories and interactive activities examples suitable for all grade levels, teachers will learn how to assist their students to activate prior knowledge, build understanding, and question and explore crucial science themes, as well as explicitly develop their language abilities.

Nation, Language, and the Ethics of Translation
In recent years, scholarship on translation has moved well beyond the technicalities of converting one language into another and beyond conventional translation theory. With new technologies blurring distinctions between "the original" and its reproductions, and with globalization redefining national and cultural boundaries, "translation" is now emerging as a reformulated subject of lively, interdisciplinary debate. Nation, Language, and the Ethics of Translation enters the heart of this debate. It covers an exceptional range of topics, from simultaneous translation to legal theory, from the language of exile to the language of new nations, from the press to the cinema; and cultures and lang...
