  Corpus-Assisted Ecolinguistics (eBook, PDF)

  Corpus-Assisted Ecolinguistics introduces and integrates key research concepts, principles and techniques in ecolinguistics and corpus-assisted discourse study, answering foundational questions for researchers new to the discipline and asserting the urgent need to expand its scope. Breaking new ground, the book analyzes under-explored environmental discourses that have a tangible impact on ecological wellbeing and sustainability by perpetuating harmful attitudes, practices and ideologies. Chapters present in-depth case studies, including an analysis of the evolving representations of wilderness, an eco-stylistic analysis of a popular novel, and an investigation of the use of humor in reports on animal escapes from slaughterhouses. The studies employ a range of corpus analysis techniques to show how ecological degradation and crisis have become normalized, and even trivialized, in popular discourse but also spaces where positive discourse practices are present. By applying tools from corpus linguistics to a diverse range of environmental discourses, this book makes a significant contribution to advancing the field of ecolinguistics.

  Effect of gibberellic acid

  Seeds are the unit of sexual reproduction of plants and have the function of multiplying and perpetuating the species to which they belong, being one of the most effective elements for this to spread in time and space. Gibberellins are directly involved in the control and promotion of seed germination; gibberellic acid (AG3) can break seed dormancy and replace the need for environmental stimuli such as light and temperature. Moringa oleifera, a tree belonging to the Moringaceae family, can grow in conditions of water scarcity, but its intensive cultivation, with irrigation and fertilization, increases biomass yields to over 100 tons per hectare. For millennia, practically all parts of Moringa oleifera have been used by man. The leaves, flowers, fruits and roots are prized for their nutritional value and can be used in both human and animal feed. The leaves are exceptionally rich in vitamins and different amino acids, so they are recommended to treat malnutrition problems in children.

  Fishscales: Strategies of a Cocaine Dealer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 147min

  Fishscales was written with the intent of bringing awareness to the brilliant mindsets of inner-city cocaine dealers in the United States. The purpose of this book is not for it to be used as a blueprint for perpetuating street crimes, but a plea to American politicians, policy makers, lobbyists, Congress people, senators, governors, and taxpayers to pay attention to the socioeconomic factors of the inner city that lead to a cocaine dealer’s state of mind.Each chapter includes a quote from the author and a collection of vivid stories about his life in the streets. The purpose of each quote is to provide a brief glimpse of the author’s thoughts regarding the chapter. The vivid stories take listeners through the streets of Memphis, Tennessee, and Houston, Texas, where they get a first-hand perspective of the author’s life. As he transitions from Big Bluff’s million-dollar crack corner, recruits his familia, searches for a coastal supplier, and devises a highway-trafficking system, he explains each transitional step. ungekürzt.

  Add, Subtract, Multiply & Divide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min

  Be the assertion true, that insanity is the expecting of a different result; while perpetuating the same ideologies and behavior patterns, then insanity is the plight of black Americans, as well as those charged with their education and liberation. This form of insanity is marked by illiteracy, decadent neighborhoods, spiritual ineptitude and social and financial insufficiency. It is the chains that have been passed down from generation to generation irrespective of the Emancipation Proclamation. It is the reason we gain education, yet not the power to positively alter the circumstances of our people en masse. It is the reason we claim spiritual fortitude, but have no relative impact on our surroundings. It is the reason that you can find entire neighborhoods in black communities where the people who live there own only 0-5% of the businesses and real estate of the community. It is what makes us vulnerable to the designs of spiritual predators and silver tongued politicians. It is the total darkness on which Austin so articulately pens. It is evolving and compounding. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Edgar Myers. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/050145/bk_acx0_050145_sample.mp3.

  The Murder of Crows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min

  In a near future of zero tolerance, Big Brother is not entirely born of the government. He is also your local news, your social media friends and followers, your neighbors. Everything you say and do is monitored - and judged. Almost overnight, the fabric of society has dissolved into a culture of carrions: a murder of crows. It was only a matter of time before someone found a way to capitalize on it. Meet Internet, television, and radio sensation Nick Saint, a man who has built a media empire off the public shaming of both celebrities and average Joes. Lately Nick has noticed a disturbing trend emerging from the culture he's spent so many hard hours at work perpetuating. The crows are no longer interested in the food he's providing, and scavenging for the dirty deeds of others is getting more difficult now that all the world has learned to watch their Ps and Qs. Can Nick continue to find fresh corpses for his starving flocks to feed on? Or will they finally turn on him instead? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Isaac Thorne.

  Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min

  Roseanne Barr is a force of nature. Whether taking the sitcom world by storm, challenging accepted social norms, or battling the wild pigs inhabiting her nut farm in Hawaii, she is not to be trifled with. In this audibook, Roseanne unleashes her razor-sharp observations on hypocrisy, hubris, and self-perpetuating institutions of questionable value - as well as menopause, pharmaceuticals, and her grandkids. And she's as controversial, original, and funny as ever. Raised half-Jewish, half-Mormon, and 100-percent misfit, Roseanne made a deal with Satan early on as the price she paid for stardom. But now she's looking to refinance the loan of her soul - this book represents her final exorcism of fame. Displaying her brilliance and sharp wit, Roseanne discusses the humor of everyday life with musings on more serious topics, such as class warfare, feminism, the cult of celebrity, and Kabbalah. Bold, brash, and insightful, Roseannearchy shows that she can still skewer any subject under the sun and why The New York Times describes her appeal as the power of a whole planet, pulling everything around it inexorably into its orbit. ungekürzt.

  The Little Book of Restorative Justice in Education: Fostering Responsibility, Healing, and Hope in Schools (The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 228min

  Much more than a response to harm, restorative justice nurtures relational, interconnected school cultures. The wisdom embedded within its principles and practices is being welcomed at a time when exclusionary discipline and zero-tolerance policies are recognized as perpetuating student apathy, disproportionality, and the school-to-prison pipeline. Relying on the wisdom of early proponents of restorative justice, the daily experiences of educators, and the authors’ extensive experience as classroom teachers and researchers, this Little Book guides the growth of restorative justice in education (RJE) into the future. Incorporating activities, stories, and examples throughout the book, three major interconnected and equally important aspects of restorative justice in education are explained and applied: creating just and equitable learning environments; building and maintaining healthy relationships; healing harm and transforming conflict The Little Book of Restorative Justice in Education is a reference that practitioners can turn to repeatedly for clarity and consistency as they implement restorative justice in educational settings. This audiobook includes a bonus lecture on restorative justice by series editor Howard Zehr. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.
