Vygotsky’s Psychology-Philosophy
This book is an introduction to Vygotsky and his theories of language and second language acquisition. Employing a dual framework of metatheory and metaphor, the author focuses on Vygotsky's cultural-historical perspective (contrasted with the sociocultural heritage more prevalent in the West) and its emphasis on history as change and thought as related to action. Included also is a comparison of Vygotskyan and Chomskyan theories of language and grammar.
Vygotsky Today
There are three basic ways for a nation to organize its economy: command, tradition and free market. It is a free market economy, also known as capitalism, that by far has proved the most successful in securing prosperity and providing the foundation for other liberties. A market economy is based on the tenets of economic freedom which include the liberty to enter any cup on, start any business, produce any good, offer any service, charge any price and operate an enterprise as one chooses in an atmosphere of limited government. This book presents the history of economic freedom from the time of Colonial America to the modern era. It also explores economic freedom's relationship to personal and political liberties as well as to such concerns as efficiency, prosperity, equality and domestic tranquility. It stresses the importance of the classical, religious and economic, virtues; provides a discussion of both the Old and New Testaments and analyses the relationships of freedom and wealth to happiness.

Multiple Perspectives on Language Play
Interest in language play and linguistic creativity has increased in recent years, and the topic has been taken up from a variety of perspectives. In this book, disparate approaches to the topic are brought together, demonstrating that a number of phenomena whose similarities might not have been immediately recognized, have an academic home under the umbrella of language play and linguistic creativity. The contributions to this collection illustrate the variety of questions that can be asked regarding the social, cognitive, emotional, political, and cultural mechanisms and significance of innovative linguistic practices and point to new directions of inquiry. Furthermore, the work exemplifies a variety of ways in which this research can be carried out, as well as the range of contexts in which it might be investigated, including second language classrooms, online settings, and workplaces. Taken together, the chapters serve to illustrate the range of work that we will be accepting in the Language Play and Creativity series; viewed individually, each makes a unique contribution to some aspect of our understanding of creative language use.
