For many Japanese women, the English language has never been just another school subject. For them, English is the tool of identity transformation and the means of obtaining what they passionately desire – mobility, the West and its masculinity. Language Learning, Gender and Desire explores Japanese women's passion for learning English and how they negotiate identity and desire in the terrain of racial, sexual and linguistic politics. Drawing on ethnographic data and popular media texts, the book offers new insights into the multidirectionality of desire and power in the context of second language learning.
Philosophy student Mary Rose is working as a receptionist at Hill Realty to pay her overdue tuition. While absorbed in Nietzsche, she makes a major blunder in an ad campaign. With her bizarrely yellow-toothed boss’s face plastered on the side of every streetcar in downtown Toronto, Mary is forced to beg for her minimum-wage job. Rule-bending, top-selling agent Eli Klassen has escaped from his family’s home-skooling, End-Times cult and he only wants two things—to leave his past behind and to date Mary. When their boss assigns Mary to be Eli’s protegee as punishment for her negligence, Mary learns hard lessons in Eli's School of Life, from how to drive a luxury sports car without stalling to the real-world definitions of desire and love.
This book addresses the principles and methods for determining petroleum source rocks based on fossil spores and pollen. Studying petroliferous basins in China, we discovered that there are often as many as three different sources of the microfossils: the source rocks, the rocks along the pathway, and the reservoir rocks. Therefore, fossil spores, pollen and algae from inland and coastal shelf petroliferous basins are analyzed and illustrated to show this complex process. Furthermore, the organic origin theory of oil is proven and environmental characteristics for hydrocarbon source-rock formation are discussed. Along with the geochronical and geographic distribution of non-marine petroleum source rocks in China, the mechanisms of petroleum migration following the pathways to the reservoirs are investigated. It will be a valuable reference work as well as a textbook for a wider research areas ranging from stratigraphy, palynology, palaeontology and petroleum geology.
