This unique contribution to the field of sociolinguistics scrutinises language ideologies of German and Australian Communities of Practice constituted by Salsa dance and asks what languages symbolise in transnational, non-ethnic cultures. Using ethnographic methodology and a deconstructive approach to language it examines these different Salsa communities and gives insight into the interaction of social discourses from local, national and transnational realms, examining differences, similarities and a simultaneous multiplicity of languages' symbolic functions.

The financial crisis of 2008 was not the first or the last to destroy jobs, homeownership and the savings of millions of people. Hurricanes clobber communities from New York to Bangladesh. How bad will the next catastrophe be, and how soon will it happen?Climate and financial crises are serious events, requiring vigorous responses. Yet public policy is trapped in an obsolete framework, with a simplistic focus on average or likely outcomes rather than dangerous extremes. What would it take to create better analyses of extreme events in climate and finance, and an appropriate policy framework for worst-case risks? ?Worst-Case Economics: Extreme Events in Climate and Finance' offers accessible and surprising answers to these crucial questions.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/0814b539/worst-case-economics-frank-ackerman-9781783087075.jpg|9781783087075|Worst-Case Economics : Hardback : Anthem Press : 9781783087075 : 23 Oct 2017 : In both climate change and financial crises, worst-case scenarios and disastrous risks are inescapable.

The book aims to throw light on a key moment in colonial contact, a new interface between two races, religions and ways of life. From a hesitant beginning as ?helpmeets' to a more confident phase of mission activities in the form of setting up formal educational institutions, writing books and so on comprise a long legacy of white women's participation in overseas colonial encounters. Historicizing imperial feminism will enable those who choose to use the past to locate and interrogate its ramifications on more ?modern' notions of feminism. The advent of the Baptist missionary William Carey in Bengal in 1793, followed by others, significantly altered how mission activity was perceived in India. From Hannah Marshman, who helped her more famous missionary husband Joshua Marshman to open schools for girls, to Mary Ann Cooke, the first single British woman missionary to come and work in India, to Hannah Mullens's contributions to zenana education, were all part of a long journey which helped professionalize women's missionary work in the colonies. With the death of Hannah Mullens in 1861, the ?early' phase of missionary work came to an end and then began a more proactive phase of evangelization and missionary activity in India.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/0cbec0e5/british-women-missionaries-in-bengal-1793-1861-sutapa-dutta-9781783087266.jpg|9781783087266|British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861 : Hardback : Anthem Press : 9781783087266 : 30 Nov 2017 : ?British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861' looks at the role and contributions of the early British women missionaries in Bengal, in easte ...|new|1|1|999|70|0|GBP|Sutapa Dutta|Anthem Press|30 Nov 2017|Christian mission & evangelism 9781783092123|Young Children as Intercultural Mediators|27.55|https://wordery.com/young-children-as-intercultural-mediators-zhiyan-guo-9781783092123|This multidisciplinary approach to cultural mediation brings together insights from anthropology, sociology, linguistics and intercultural communication to offer a detailed depiction of family life in immigrant Chinese communities.

The book's innovative survey of the oeuvres of four culturally representative women novelists of the period spanning the Anglo-French War and the Battle of Waterloo reveals the importance of visuality ? the continuum linking visual and verbal communication. It provided women novelists with a methodology capable of circumventing the cultural strictures on female expression in a way that concealed resistance within the limits of language. In contexts dominated by ?frustrated utterance', penetrating gazes and the perpetual threat of misinterpretation, Jane Austen, Ann Radcliffe, Maria Edgeworth and Frances Burney used references to the visible and the invisible to comment on emotions, socio-economic conditions and patriarchal abuses. Visuality in the Novels of Austen, Radcliffe, Edgeworth and Burney offers new insights into verbal economy and the gender politics of the era by reassessing expression and perception from a uniquely telling point of view.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/9a5527f1/visuality-in-the-novels-of-austen-radcliffe-edgeworth-and-burney-jessica-a-volz-9781783086603.jpg|9781783086603|Visuality in the Novels of Austen, Radcliffe, Edgeworth and Burney : Hardback : Anthem Press : 9781783086603 : 01 Mar 2017 : ?Visuality in the Novels of Austen, Radcliffe, Edgeworth and Burney' examines the forms and functions of visuality in the nove ...|new|1|1|999|70|0|GBP|Jessica A.

But these powers have faded when they did not embrace the next big innovation. Gerard J. Tellis and Stav Rosenzweig argue that openness to new ideas and people, empowerment of individuals and competition are key drivers in the development and adoption of transformative innovations. These innovations, in turn, fuel economic growth, national dominance and global leadership. In How Transformative Innovations Shaped the Rise of Nations, Tellis and Rosenzweig examine the transformative qualities of concrete in Rome; swift equine warfare in Mongolia; critical navigational innovations in the golden ages of Chinese, Venetian, Portuguese and Dutch empires; the patent system and steam engine in Britain; and mass production in the United States of America.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/ad804756/how-transformative-innovations-shaped-the-rise-of-nations-gerard-tellis-9781783087327.jpg|9781783087327|How Transformative Innovations Shaped the Rise of Nations : Hardback : Anthem Press : 9781783087327 : 30 May 2018 : Over the last 2,000 years, critical innovations have transformed various small regions into global powers.

In England she was just as well known as Charles Dickens, according to one of her biographers, George Bullock (117).1 Another biographer claimed that while QueenVictoria was alive, Corelli was the 'second most famous Englishwoman in the world' (Masters 6). More than half of her thirty novels sold more than 100,000 copies each year (Casey 163), a record that outpaces Hall Caine's annual sales of 45,000, Mrs. Humphrey Ward's of 35,000 and H. G. Wells' of 15,000 (Masters 6). Her sales exceeded those of Rudyard Kipling's, Arthur Conan Doyle's and H. G. Wells' combined (Casey 163). So popular were her books and her mystique, one cynic complained about the 'Corelli Cult' (Stuart-Young 680). Women flocked to her and actually 'fought over each other to get near her and tried to kiss the hem of her dress' (Masters 7).
