This volume presents original research in language acquisition, connecting linguistic theory with experimental work. It covers diverse learners and languages, offering novel insights to psycholinguists and theoretical linguists on how language is acquired and processed.
This book provides concrete steps for applying Crew Resource Management (CRM) skills in complex, error-prone situations. Learn to communicate clearly, be assertive about safety, and support your team to prevent errors, using best practices from real-world clinical scenarios.
This book opposes the dominant materialist view of the universe, which cannot adequately explain conscious phenomena. Taking the primacy of consciousness as a basic postulate, it argues for a metaphysical idealism where human nature is more spiritual than material.
This book journeys through the hidden dangers of foodborne illness, exploring the science behind contamination. Drawing on real-life case studies, it serves as a practical guide to safeguarding your health and the food you eat every day.
This book challenges the modern doctrine of pneumonia. Based on decades of research, it substantiates new principles of treatment clinically proven to be effective without the usual emphasis on etiotropic agents, and analyzes the causes behind widespread medical misconceptions.
This book covers the theory of Raman scattering by molecules and crystals, including molecular vibrations and their symmetry. It details Raman spectroscopic techniques and is ideal for students and scientists researching chemical, mineralogical, and biological systems.
African Tragedy
Unknown since 1946, African Tragedy is the original version of Wulf Sachs’s famous Black Hamlet. This enthralling novel tells the story of John Chawafambira, an nganga in a psychic and political struggle within the inhospitable Johannesburg of the 1930s.
