Total Speech: Blending Techniques in Speech and Language Therapy

Total Speech: Blending Techniques in Speech and Language Therapy

This book explores how speech and language therapists can use a wide range of multi-modal therapy techniques to elicit speech sound. Due to the nature of the approach there is a limited evidence base in the area so this book draws on the authors’ extensive experience as well as testimonials from families who have been successfully supported by the approach to offer a new and unique perspective for therapy. By using a total communication approach the book provides clinicians with the confidence to be more open and experimental in their practice when traditional routes are proving unsuccessful to best meet the needs of clients with more complex clinical backgrounds. Chapters include the following: Setting the scene. Persistent speech sound disorders. Popular techniques. Adding the extra dimension. Case studies. How to run a Total Speech group. Total Speech shares success stories of how well-known techniques can be blended to achieve progress and results. It will be a useful addition to any speech and language therapist’s therapy toolkit. | Total Speech: Blending Techniques in Speech and Language Therapy

Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination The Holocaust Plurality and Resistance

Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination The Holocaust Plurality and Resistance

Responding to the increasingly influential role of Hannah Arendt’s political philosophy in recent years Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination: The Holocaust Plurality and Resistance critically engages with Arendt’s understanding of totalitarianism. According to Arendt the main goal of totalitarianism was total domination; namely the virtual eradication of human legality morality individuality and plurality. This attempt in her view was most fully realized in the concentration camps which served as the major laboratories for the regime. While Arendt focused on the perpetrators’ logic and drive Michal Aharony examines the perspectives and experiences of the victims and their ability to resist such an experiment. The first book-length study to juxtapose Arendt’s concept of total domination with actual testimonies of Holocaust survivors this book calls for methodological pluralism and the integration of the voices and narratives of the actors in the construction of political concepts and theoretical systems. To achieve this Aharony engages with both well-known and non-canonical intellectuals and writers who survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. Additionally she analyzes the oral testimonies of survivors who are largely unknown drawing from interviews conducted in Israel and in the U. S. as well as from videotaped interviews from archives around the world. Revealing various manifestations of unarmed resistance in the camps this study demonstrates the persistence of morality and free agency even under the most extreme and de-humanizing conditions while cautiously suggesting that absolute domination is never as absolute as it claims or wishes to be. Scholars of political philosophy political science history and Holocaust studies will find this an original and compelling book. | Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination The Holocaust Plurality and Resistance

The Ideal of Total Environmental Control Knud Lönberg-Holm Buckminster Fuller and the SSA

The Ideal of Total Environmental Control Knud Lönberg-Holm Buckminster Fuller and the SSA

This book traces the ideal of total environmental control through the intellectual and geographic journey of Knud Lönberg- Holm a forgotten Danish architect who promoted a unique systemic cybernetic and ecological vision of architecture in the 1930s. A pioneering figure of the new objectivity and international constructivism in Germany in 1922 and a celebrated peer of radical figures in De Stijl the Bauhaus and Russian constructivism when he emigrated to Detroit in 1923 he introduced the vanguard theory of productivism through his photography essays designs and pedagogy. By following Lönberg- Holm’s ongoing matrix of relations until the postwar era with the European vanguards in CIAM and former members of the Structural Study Associates (SSA) especially Fuller Frederick Kiesler and C. Theodore Larson this study shows how their definition of building as a form of environmental control anticipated the contemporary disciplines of industrial ecology industrial metabolism and energy accounting. | The Ideal of Total Environmental Control Knud Lönberg-Holm Buckminster Fuller and the SSA

China's Grain Economy The Challenge of Feeding More Than a Billion

China's Grain Economy The Challenge of Feeding More Than a Billion

This book was originally pubished in 2000. China is the largest developing country in the world and is still heavily based on agriculture. Currently about 70 per cent of China's total of more than one bilion people live in rural areas and about half of the total national labour force is involved in agricultural activities. It is clear that agriculture is the foundation for the development of the Chinese national economy. Within agriculture the grain economy is the most important sector: indeed it has been recognised as a treasure in managing the country by all past Chinese dynasties. Ensuring enough grain supply to meet the demands of such a huge population seems to be a long-term goal for the Chinese government and this book explores whether China will be able to produce enough grain to keep pace with its population increases. | China's Grain Economy The Challenge of Feeding More Than a Billion

Teaching Writing A Systematic Approach

Teaching Writing A Systematic Approach

Originally published in 1986. The traditional approach to teaching writing concentrates on mastering the different aspects of writing in the hope that these will eventually unite as a set of integrated skills. More 'progressive' teachers emphasise that writing is a total process which is 'caught' intuitively rather than explicitly taught. Both models are partially unsatisfactory and consequently a third approach has evolved which seeks to combine the best of both. This book considers this 'systematic' approach which seeks to retain the emphasis on writing as a total process but identifies within each communicative context the set of sub-skills involved. The author discusses and illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of this approach and the changes in professional thinking and practice that are essential to its successful adoption. He presents an overview of the nature of the writing process to enable teachers to make clearer and more explicit statements about their objectives in setting classroom writing tasks. | Teaching Writing A Systematic Approach

Equilibrium Credit Rationing

Equilibrium Credit Rationing

This study first published in 1979 examines and contrasts two concepts of credit rationing. The first concept takes the relevant price of credit to be the explicit interest rate on the loan and defines the demand for credit as the amount an individual borrower would like to receive at that rate. Under the alternative definition the price of credit consists of the complete set of loan terms confronting a class of borrowers with given characteristics while the demand for credit equals the total number of loan which members of the class would like to receive at those terms. This title will be of interest to students of monetary economics. | Equilibrium Credit Rationing

The Spirit of the Soil Agriculture and Environmental Ethics

The Spirit of the Soil Agriculture and Environmental Ethics

In this second edition of The Spirit of the Soil: Agriculture and Environmental Ethics Paul B. Thompson reviews four worldviews that shape competing visions for agriculture. Productionists have sought increasing yields—to make two seeds grow where only one grew before—while traditional visions of good farming have stressed stewardship. These traditional visions have been challenged by two more worldviews: a call for a total cost accounting for farming and an advocacy for a holistic perspective. Thompson argues that an environmentally defensible systems approach must draw upon all four worldviews recognizing their flaws and synthesizing their strengths in a new vision of sustainable agriculture. This classic 1995 study has been thoroughly revised and significantly expanded in its second edition with up-to-date examples of agriculture’s impact on the environment. These include extensive discussions of new pesticides and the effects of animal agriculture on climate and other areas of the environment. In addition a new final chapter discusses sustainability which has become a dominant idea within environmental studies and agrarian political philosophy. | The Spirit of the Soil Agriculture and Environmental Ethics

Risk Management in Supply Chains Using Linear and Non-linear Models

Risk Management in Supply Chains Using Linear and Non-linear Models

The book examines a relatively unexplored issue in supply chain risk management which is how long companies specifically take to respond to catastrophic events of low probability but high impact. The book also looks at why such supply chain disruptions are unavoidable and consequently all complex supply chains are inherently at risk. The book illustrates how companies can respond to supply chain disruptions with faster responses and in shorter lead-times to reduce impact. In reducing total response time designing solutions and deploying a recovery plan sooner after a disruption in anticipation of such events companies reduce the impact of disruption risk. The book also explores the basics of multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and how they contribute to both the quality of the financial economic decision-making process and the quality of the resulting decisions. The book illustrates through cases in the construction sector how this industry has become more complex and riskier due to the diverse nature of activities among global companies. | Risk Management in Supply Chains Using Linear and Non-linear Models
