New Perspectives on Pakistan's Political Economy: State, Class and Social Change by Matthew McCartney and S. Akbar Zaidi
English | 2019 | ISBN: 110848655X | 286 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This volume makes a major intervention in the debates around the nature of the political economy of Pakistan, focusing on its contemporary social dynamics. This is the first comprehensive academic analysis of Pakistan's political economy after thirty-five years, and addresses issues of state, class and society, examining gender, the middle classes, the media, the bazaar economy, urban spaces and the new elite. The book goes beyond the contemporary obsession with terrorism and extremism, political Islam, and simple 'civilian-military relations', and looks at modern-day Pakistan through the lens of varied academic disciplines. It not only brings together new work by some emerging scholars but also formulates a new political economy for the country, reflecting the contemporary reality and diversification in the social sciences in Pakistan. The chapters dynamically and dialectically capture emergent processes and trends in framing Pakistan's political economy and invite scholars to engage with and move beyond these concerns and issues.

New Norse Studies, edited by Jeffrey Turco, gathers twelve original essays engaging aspects of Old Norse-Icelandic literature that continue to kindle the scholarly imagination in the twenty-first century.

This volume will be welcomed not only by the specialist and by scholars in adjacent fields but also by avid general readers, drawn in ever-increasing numbers to the Icelandic sagas and their world.Contributors: Paul Acker, Saint Louis University; Guðrún Nordal, University of Iceland; Sarah Harlan-Haughey, Cornell University; Joseph Harris, Harvard University; Richard Harris, University of Saskatchewan; Thomas D.

Susan Olsen, "New Impulses in Word-Formation"
English | 2016 | ASIN: B01MYRH6SU | PDF | pages: 404 | 4.7 mb
This special issue entitled "New Impulses in Word-Formation" demonstrates in thirteen individual, empirically oriented case studies how the methods gleaned from newer theoretical models (optimality theory, construction grammar, cognitive grammar, distributive morphology, parallel architecture) as well as from the linguistic sub-disciplines of psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, corpus linguistics and computational linguistics can be applied lucratively to the field of word-formation. The individual contributions are from a team of international linguists and deal with a broad spectrum of interests divided almost equally between the two major areas of word-formation, derivation and composition.

English | 2020 | ISBN: 0367429179, 0367429160 | 162 pages | PDF | 4 MB

It includes an exploration of narcissistic fantasies from various protagonists of film and novels and focuses on the fantasy of the omnipotence of the self, which is a predominantly narcissistic desire to be a "Master of the Universe", a deity, an omnipotent, immortal figure.

Romain Rolland, Mary Blaiklock, "Musicians of To-Day"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1532714785 | EPUB | pages: 150 | 0.5 mb
It is perhaps fitting that the series of volumes comprising The Musician's Bookshelf should be inaugurated by the present collection of essays. To the majority of English readers the name of that strange and forceful personality; Romain Rolland; is known only through his magnificent; intimate record of an artist's life and aspirations; embracing ten volumes; Jean-Christophe. This is not the place in which to discuss that masterpiece. A few biographical facts concerning the author may not; however; be out of place here.

Nieto Moreno de Diezmas, "Multilingual Education under Scrutiny"
English | ISBN: 3631873220 | 2022 | 138 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This monography provides a comprehensive insight into the overriding hot topics regarding the implementation of bilingual education type CLIL (content and language integrated learning) that have been recently spotlighted by researchers and different stakeholders, including families and students. The authors analyse the multiple faces of CLIL as a global and ecological phenomenon and examine the potential of CLIL to guarantee effective language learning, along with preservation of adequate levels of content acquisition and satisfactory development of the mother tongue. The role of pre-service and in-service teacher training in unfolding CLIL is scrutinized, among other burning issues such as egalitarianism and sustainability of the approach.
