Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book offers description and assessment of the Jamaican language situation. It is aimed at providing basic information for interested laypersons as well as students of language and also at counteracting traditional social and linguistic prejudices, which are seen as affecting the usual assessments of the situation. Proficiency is essential for Jamaicans in view of its important role both within the island and internationally, but mastery of Standard English often falls short of the ideal. Some reasons for this failure are explored in the book. Its simple style is designed to enhance its appeal to the average reader. Topics specifically discussed include the functions of English and Creole (Patois) in the society and attitudes to these varieties, the origins, development and present state of English in Jamaica, the role of language in education and various proposals for taking Creole into account in classroom teaching. Although the main focus is on the Jamaican situation, this is also set within the framework of English worldwide and of developments outside of Jamaica involving the use of Creole.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Story of the Telegraph in Jamaica discusses the scientific principles governing telegraphy. And so the reader is taken through the Morse code, the Telex machine, Intelsat, various technical improvements such as those of Frederick Creed, including the Creed High Speed Automatic Printing Telegraphy System (from which the Telex machine emerged). The nineteenth century was remarkable for the growth of new technologies which were destined to have, in some cases, a revolutionary impact on the quantity of social and economic life. This book concentrates on one of the inventions telegraphy which was significant for local and international communication. The telegraphy and the cable, airmail and surface mail gave the post office a central role in the life of the villages scattered over the Jamaican countryside. The history of the telegraph is in part the history of the post office in Jamaica. The telegraph was an essential instrument. Indeed, not until 2004 was the news of the death of the telegraph announced by Cable and Wireless. Up to then it had served with an economy of words and in its distinct peach coloured envelope as the bearer of good news and bad. The people of Jamaica took to the telegram all the more so because telegraph assisted the illiterate or barely literate to compose their thoughts and record then in the format required. On the international front, Jamaica was first lined to the international telegraphic system by submarine cable through Cuba. The book outlines how the system spread into the rest of the Caribbean and to Latin America. Indeed, the books preface not only points to the potential loss to the historical record if the story of the telegraph was not written, but to the demand for this kind of data from students of social history and the history of science and technology.
