Forget everything you’ve heard about adult language learning—evidence from cognitive science and psychology prove we can learn foreign languages just as easily as children! An eye-opening study on how adult learners can master a foreign language by drawing on skills and knowledge honed over a lifetime. Adults who want to learn a foreign language are often discouraged because they believe they cannot acquire a language as easily as children. Once they begin to learn a language, adults may be further discouraged when they find the methods used to teach children don't seem to work for them. What is an adult language learner to do? In this book, Richard Roberts and Roger Kreuz draw on insigh...

Golden Rice

The first book to tell the shocking story of Golden Rice, a genetically modified grain that provides essential Vitamin A and can save lives in developing countries—if only they were allowed to grow it. Ordinary white rice is nutrient poor; it consists of carbohydrates and little else. About one million people who subsist on rice become blind or die each year from vitamin A deficiency. Golden Rice, which was developed in the hopes of combatting that problem by a team of European scientists in the late '90s, was genetically modified to provide an essential nutrient that white rice lacks: beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. But twenty years later, this potentially si...

Physiology Or Medicine, 1991-1995

During the period 1991 ? 1995, important areas of physiological/medical research being recognized were ion channels in cells, protein phosphorylation, split genes, G-proteins and genetic control of embryonic development. The following is a list of the Nobel laureates for those years, with a description of the works that won them their prizes: (1991) E NEHER & B SAKMANN ? for their discoveries concerning the function of single ion channels in cells; (1992) E H FISCHER & E G KREBS ? for their discoveries concerning reversible protein phosphorylation as a biological regulatory mechanism; (1993) R J ROBERTS & P A SHARP ? for their discoveries of split genes; (1994) A G GILMAN & M RODBELL ? for their discovery of G-proteins and the role of these proteins in signal transduction in cells; (1995) E B LEWIS, C NšSSLEIN-VOLHARD & E F WIESCHAUS ? for their discoveries concerning the genetic control of early embryonic development.

Religion, Theology and the Human Sciences

Religion, Theology and the Human Sciences explores the religious consequences of the so-called 'end of history' and 'triumph of capitalism' as they have impinged upon key institutions of social reproduction in recent times. The book explores the imposition of managerial modernity upon successive sectors of society and shows why many people today feel themselves to be oppressed by systems of management that seem to leave them no option but to conform. Richard Roberts seeks to challenge and outflank such seamless, oppressive modernity, through reconfiguration of the religious and spiritual field.

Warriors, Merchants, and Slaves

Over the course of two centuries, the region of the Middle Niger valley of the Western Sudan was dominated by three successive states: the indigenous Segu Bambara state, the Islamic Umarian state, and the French colonial state. In each of these states, warriors were the rulers, and not surprisingly warfare was the primary expression of state power. The survival of each state depended on its ability to reproduce its capacity to make war; in order to do so, the warrior state intervened in the economy. In each of the three states, the interrelationship of warfare, the state, and the economy produced different results. How the state actually intervened in the economy and how this intervention in...

Producer Dynamics

The Census Bureau has recently begun releasing official statistics that measure the movements of firms in and out of business and workers in and out of jobs. The economic analyses in Producer Dynamics exploit this newly available data on establishments, firms, and workers, to address issues in industrial organization, labor, growth, macroeconomics, and international trade. This innovative volume brings together a group of renowned economists to probe topics such as firm dynamics across countries; patterns of employment dynamics; firm dynamics in nonmanufacturing industries such as retail, health services, and agriculture; employer-employee turnover from matched worker/firm data sets; and turnover in international markets. Producer Dynamics will serve as an invaluable reference to economists and policy makers seeking to understand the links between firms and workers, and the sources of economic dynamics, in the age of globalization.
