The Grammar of Q
The Grammar of Q puts forth a novel syntactic and semantic analysis of wh-questions, one that is based upon in-depth study of the Tlingit language, an endangered and under-documented language of North America. A major consequence of this new approach is that the phenomenon classically dubbed "pied-piping" does not actually exist.
Critical Communication Pedagogy
"One of the great strengths of the book is that it illustrates how critical pedagogy might actually look and feel and be useful as an organizing principle in an educator′s life. The wonderful statements about empowering students, creating spaces for dialogue, and envisioning moments of empancipation are hard to translate into real institutional settings. The authors are willing to open up their own areas of vulnerability by describing their efforts to encact critical pedagogy and ten refelecting on their missteps, disappointments, and blind spots." —Jo Sprague, San José State University In this autoethnographic work, authors Deanna L. Fassett and John T. Warren illustrate a synthesis of...
If You Give a Mom a Marathon
If you give a mom a marathon, she'll hit a wall. It happens to all marathoners, not just mothers. Still a new runner when that first happened in 2007, Michelle has now run more than 140 additional 26.2-mile races. But for Michelle, those races mean much more than a collection of medals and a spreadsheet of race times. All those races and training times have helped her become a better, more confident person, friend and − most importantly − mother. Come along with Michelle as she explains how running races in Australia, Iceland, and even the deck of a cruise ship has helped fuel her on her family's journey.

Across the Shaman's River
The story of one of Alaska’s last Indigenous strongholds, shut off for a century until a fateful encounter between a shaman, a preacher, and a naturalist. Tucked in the corner of Southeast Alaska, the Tlingits had successfully warded off the Anglo influences that had swept into other corners of the territory. This Native American tribe was viewed by European and American outsiders as the last wild tribe and a frustrating impediment to access. Missionaries and prospectors alike had widely failed to bring the Tlingit into their power. Yet, when naturalist John Muir arrived in 1879, accompanied by a fiery preacher, it only took a speech about “brotherhood”—and some encouragement from th...

Quantification
This volume presents articles by formal linguists on quantification in (relatively) understudied languages. The ten contributions provide analysis of quantificational phenomena in languages from nine different families: Eskimo-Aleut, Algonquian, Na-Dene, Austronesian, Basque, Quechua, Otomanguean, Bantu, and Chadic. Approximately half of the papers present systematic overviews of quantificational phenomena in the respective languages; the remainder of the papers present theoretical analyses of specific quantificational constructions. The cross-linguistic focus of this volume enables standard theories of quantification to be challenged by languages other than those for which they were origina...

Theatre with a Purpose
"This is the first book to offer a sustained focus on the amateur theatre movement in Britain from the end of WWI to the end of WWII, a movement that flourished and led to more people in Britain involved in drama than at any time before or since. It reveals how it was promoted as a tool for social action and improvement and evaluates its success and legacy. By surveying the contribution of key individuals, organisations and the role of festivals and competitions, this book provides a comprehensive account of this transformative movement and period"--
