Paperback. Zustand: Good. Resilience is a textbook for adult learners of English who face challenges in life but are ready to bounce back through learning English. Pitched for learners at the high intermediate/advanced level, this text provides high-interest content with activities designed to reach all types of learners, providing multiple pathways for accessing the language and content. Even low-literate native speakers of English will benefit from this text. No other English course gives sustained attention to building resilience and coping in healthy ways with stress as Resilience does. It is based on the tried and tested materials developed for Eastern Mennonite University's STAR program (Strategies in Trauma Awareness and Resilience), which have been used in trainings around the world. Resilience develops reading and vocabulary skills while also providing practice in grammar study, speaking, listening, and informal writing. Sustained focus on practical content motivates students by increasing their sense of self-efficacy as they become experts in the subject matter. The book provides resources for powerful language and literacy learning as it guides teachers and students to create community. Every chapter features two readings, representing an international range of experiences, and provides learning activities that involve art, music, movement, interpersonal work, and intrapersonal reflection. This -whole person- approach offers students life skills that strengthen their ability to bounce back from tough times.…

Original Wraps. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition. First impression of the true first edition, published in April 1946. Some contributions were specially written for this issue of Penguin New Writing, and are the first publication in the UK, including William Sansom and Stephen Spender. With colour and photogravure illustrations - Issues 27-30 have colour illustrations including work by Robert Medley, Michael Ayrton, Laurence Gowing in this issue. ***A very good copy in pale-green colour-illustrated thin card covers. The covers are clean, with just light rubbing and creasing commensurate with age and handling - there is a scuff to the front cover where a sticker has been removed, and some light smudges / finger marks on the back cover (please see scans). The top outer corner of the page block has been slightly bumped, with slight creasing to the page corner tips. Bottom edge of spine slightly rubbed and scuffed, and the spine edges have some rubbing and surface loss, but with no loss to the fragile spine covering. Internally also very good with no previous ownership inscriptions and no internal foxing. Inside covers slightly browned. No creases or tears - other than the aforementioned slight creasing to the top corner tips. Paper stock lightly tanned as usual. ***180mm x120mm. 192 pages. ***Contents: William Sansom: How Claeys Died, Edith Sitwell: Casket Letter No. 2, Annabel Farjeon: The Lady in the Stone, Louis MacNiece (sic): Three Poems, Frank Sargeson: When the Wind Blows - I, C.

New Writing was a popular literary periodical in book format founded in 1936 by John Lehmann and committed to anti-fascism. During the Second World War, in 1940, with New Writing's future uncertain, John Lehmann wrote New Writing in Europe which was published by Penguin Books, a critical summary of the writers of the 1930s. ***Allen Lane of Penguin Books managed to secure paper for a new series which became Penguin New Writing, a monthly book-magazine, this time produced as a paperback. Penguin New Writing ran to 40 issues in total, surviving until 1950. ***First impression of the true first edition of John Lehmann's Penguin New Writing Issue 27, published in April 1946. A very good copy, albeit with the above-mentioned faults - of interest to collectors of collectable Penguin paperbacks. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Robert Medley, Michael Ayrton, Laurence Gowing et al (illustrator).…

Since well over half the ceramics in the collection were made at China's main porcelain producing centre, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, the wares from these kilns provide the subject for this colloquy. The Jingdezhen in kilns themselves and their products have provided some of the most fascinating archaeological finds in the People's Republica of China in recent years, and we were fortunate to have two speakers from China with first-hand knowledge of this important excavated material. Other contributors pursued a range of topics including technological developments, the organization of the kilns, the significance of ceremonial wares, specific decorative motifs, their origins and evolution, archaism, trading networks, the wares made for particular markets, and the influence of missionaires." excerpt from the foreword by Rosemary E. Scott, Curator, March 1993.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Wavelet and subband transforms have been of great interest in the fields of - gineering and applied mathematics. The theories of these powerful signal p- cessing tools have matured and many applications utilizing them are emerging in different disciplines. This book, comprised of eleven chapter contributions from prominent researchers in the field, focuses on communications and mul- media applications of wavelet and subband transforms. The first six chapters of this book deal with a variety of communications applications that significantly benefit from wavelet and subband theories. S- ilarly, the remaining five chapters present recent advances in multimedia - plications of wavelet and subband transforms. These chapters interconnect the requirements of applications with the underlying theory and their engineering solutions. Hence, the reader can easily trace the entire path from fundamentals to the purpose and merit of application in hand. A combined list of references for the entire volume is given at the end of the text that should be helpful to the interested reader for a further study. This book is anticipated to be of particular interest to engineers and sci- tists who want to learn about state-of-the-art subband and wavelet transform applications as well as their theoretical underpinnings. It can also serve as a supplementary book for graduate level engineering and applied mathematics courses on wavelet and subband transforms.…
