Book Description
An illustrated collection of recipes and advice based around the experiences of women separated from their families by imprisonment. Beyond Porridge engages with creativity, social interactions and diversity within prison walls. The book explains how women in prison use limited ingredients to supplement their standard prison diet and enjoy a ‘minor feast’. It tells of the comfort foods they miss most. In their own words and illustrations the book shows how ingenuity can spring from the most unlikely of circumstances. The book is based on a project led by researchers at the University of Surrey. It introduces readers to Chocolate Pudding in a Mug, a quick version of Callaloo prepared in a prison cell, Mackerel Curry, Pumpkin Seed Fry, Oreo Cheesecake, Kettle Chow Mein and various Midnight Snacks. Beyond Porridge is a book that says as much about the prison experiences of women as it does their inventive recreational activities. A rare snapshot of life in women’s prisons which describes food as a socio-cultural experience. Refreshingly new for penal observers and of interest to women’s support groups everywhere. Resourceful, instructive, innovative. Review ‘A unique culinary journey … I am truly amazed at the creativity and genius that it takes to create such recipes’ —Jon Watts (From the Foreword). Table of contents Foreword by Jon Watts; Introduction; Kettle Cooking; Taste of Home: Dreams of Social Cultural Identities; Celebrations in Prison; Concluding Thoughts; References; Acknowledgments; Index.

Book Description
Somewhere in the depths within us all we possess good & evil, honorable & shameful, ugly and beautiful. J.M. Tresaugue's Shadows Beyond the Flames and Other Stories proves just that. Within each of us we have the power to do great good, and in the blink of an eye we can turn into a depraved, immoral human being. You find variations of these human characteristics within the contents of stories such as The Manual and Sometimes Always. However, within Graphic Burn we are given a glimpse of what being a better person truly means. There are stories that grip us, stories that shake us to our cores, and stories that inspire. The stories contained within this volume touch on a little of everything; from the macabre, to the hopeful, but mainly the darkness within us. You won't be disappointed with the variety of science fiction, horror, fantasy, strange, unusual, and revenge thrown in for good measure in Shadows Beyond the Flames and Other Stories.

Agreement Beyond Phi
Author: Shigeru Miyagawa
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262338645
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
An argument that agreement and agreementless languages are unified under an expanded view of grammatical features including both phi-features and certain discourse configurational features. Much attention in theoretical linguistics in the generative and Minimalist traditions is concerned with issues directly or indirectly related to movement. The EPP (extended projection principle), introduced by Chomsky in 1981, appeared to coincide with morphological agreement, and agreement came to play a central role as the driver of movement and other narrow-syntax operations. In this book, Shigeru Miyagawa continues his investigation into a computational equivalent for agreement in agreementless languages such as Japanese. Miyagawa extends his theory of Strong Uniformity, introduced in his earlier book, Why Agree? Why Move? Unifying Agreement-Based and Discourse-Configurational Languages (MIT Press). He argues that agreement and agreementless languages are unified under an expanded view of grammatical features including both phi-features and discourse configurational features of topic and focus. He looks at various combinations of these two grammatical features across a number of languages and phenomena, including allocutive agreement, root phenomena, topicalization, “why” questions, and case alternation.

Beyond Tula
Author: Andrei Egunov-Nikolev
Publisher: Academic Studies PRess
ISBN: 1644690969
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Andrei Egunov-Nikolev’s Beyond Tula is an uproarious romp through the earnestly boring and unintentionally campy world of early Soviet “production” prose, with its celebration of robust workers heroically building socialism. Combining burlesque absurdism and lofty references to classical and Russian High Modernist literature with a rather tongue-in-cheek plot about the struggles of an industrializing rural proletariat, this “Soviet pastoral” actually appeared in the official press in 1931 (though it was quickly removed from circulation). As a renegade classics scholar, Egunov was aware of the expressive potential latent in so-called “light genres”—Beyond Tula is a modernist pastoral jaunt that leaves the reader with plenty to ponder.

Beyond Aspect
Author: Doris L. Payne
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027267871
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Certain grammatical elements help hearers know how propositions are conceptually related: Does a given proposition advance the foregrounded event line, or not? Initiate versus continue an event chain? Indicate that one proposition belongs to a different "mental space" from the previous one? Provide background information? Studies in this volume show that African languages sometimes support, but often refute the idea that perfective aspect or past tense marks the narrative event line. Rather, languages may employ clause level constructions, conjunctions or connectives, tonal melodies on verbs or subjects, specialized auxiliaries, special verb forms and even dependent clause and imperfective aspect forms. Often, correlation of such grammatical elements with the event line is a subcase of a more general function. Analyses in this volume contribute to developing a typology of the expression of discourse functions, a field of research which has so far been minimally addressed from a typological perspective.

Book Description
Alex Duncan is just an ordinary 14 year old boy. His main worries are homework, girls, the school bully... ...and his sister Jenna, who has ovarian cancer, stage B. As his parents retreat into themselves, Alex is desperate to help. While he tries to find a way to make things better for his sister, life still goes on and everything he does just makes him feel more and more awkward and out of place. His search for meaning, or at least some comfort in all the chaos, takes him on a journey of friendship, love, and discovery. What Alex learns helps him to come to terms with not only his sister's mortality, but also how he and his family and friends can cope with the one big question: what lies Beyond? Georgia Springate’s debut novel, Beyond, is a funny and touchingly compelling coming-of-age story about love, loss and discovery. Read it and take an emotional journey through one boy’s quest to understand that most tricky of questions: what lies beyond?

Storytime and Beyond
Author: Kathy Barco
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440858993
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Join the world of balloons, pancakes, and musical instruments—just a few items to help improve early literacy in the library, the classroom, and at home. Literacy-builders covered range from music and instruments to magnetic letters, alphabet beads, and food. Literacy is a popular topic of discussion among librarians. Especially important is "early literacy," what children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write. In this book, experienced librarians Kathy Barco and Melanie Borski-Howard share hands-on techniques that they have used to successfully promote early literacy and encourage family involvement. Storytime and Beyond teaches readers how to use "literacy doodads"—inexpensive props that add excitement to storytimes and can be used outside the library or classroom—to enhance the basic components of any early literacy program: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing. Many of the doodads can be created as family do-it-yourself projects, and some can be adapted to work with non-readers of any age. Instruments can also be a great way to get children's attention and teach literacy skills, whether it's a drum to beat while reading a story or a maraca for children to shake during a song, and lesson plans for musical storytimes address how to use rhythm, singing, and dancing to make early literacy fun.

Book Description
Integral geometry originated with problems on geometrical probability and convex bodies. Its later developments have proved to be useful in several fields ranging from pure mathematics (measure theory, continuous groups) to technical and applied disciplines (pattern recognition, stereology). The book is a systematic exposition of the theory and a compilation of the main results in the field. The volume can be used to complement courses on differential geometry, Lie groups, or probability or differential geometry. It is ideal both as a reference and for those wishing to enter the field.
