Language Across Boundaries

Language Across Boundaries

A selection of papers from the millennium conference of the British Association of Applied Linguistics. The boundaries of the title have been widely interpreted, ranging from work on the linguistic repercussions of individual and group identity boundaries, to work dealing with ways of crossing national and cultural boundaries through language learning.

What Every Student Should Know about Using a Handbook

What Every Student Should Know about Using a Handbook

What Every Student Should Know About Using a Handbook offers students concrete strategies for getting the most out of their handbook. It shows students that handbooks are all-in-one, easy to reference tools that can provide invaluable help when engaging in any type or writing or research assignment, whether in their introductory writing course or beyond. Teaching students to use all the sections of their handbook (writing process, research process, grammar, and style) with tips, exercises and scavenger hunts, this guide helps students use a critical reference tool to produce better papers and projects.

The Yellow Papers

The Yellow Papers

It’s 1872 and China still bruised from its defeat in the two Opium Wars sends a group of boys, including seven-year-old Chen Mu, to America to study and bring back the secrets of the West. But nine years on Chen Mu becomes a fugitive and flees to Umberumberka, a mining town in outback Australia. He eventually finds peace working for Matthew Dawson, a rich pastoralist.

Liquid Crystalline Polymers

Liquid Crystalline Polymers

The International Workshop on Liquid Crystalline Polymers (LCPs) held in June 1993 in Italy attracted many of the leading researchers in this area of polymer science. The meeting provided a forum for the exchange of research and ideas on current developments and future research and applications of liquid crystalline polymers. This volume consists of a selection of the best papers presented at the meeting covering synthesis and characterization, liquid crystalline thermosets, rheology, blends and composites containing LCPs and transport properties.

Romans, Barbarians and the Transformation of the Roman World

Romans, Barbarians and the Transformation of the Roman World

One of the most significant transformations of the Roman world in Late Antiquity was the integration of barbarian peoples into the social, cultural, religious, and political milien of the Mediterranean world. The nature of these transformations was considered at the sixth biennial Shifting Frontiers in Late Antiquity Conference, at the University of Illonis at Urbana-Champaign in March of 2005, and this volume presents an updated selectin of the papers given on the occasion, complemented with a few others.

General Theory of Information Transfer and Combinatorics

General Theory of Information Transfer and Combinatorics

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed research papers contributed to a research project on the ‘General Theory of Information Transfer and Combinatorics’ that was hosted from 2001–2004 at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZIF) of Bielefeld University and also papers of several incorporated meetings thereof. The 63 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on probabilistic models, cryptology, pseudo random sequences, quantum models, statistics, probability theory, information measures, error concepts, performance criteria, search, sorting, ordering, planning, language evolution, pattern discovery, reconstructions, network coding, combinatorial models, and a problem section.
