Softcover. Condition: Good. Communicating in Chinese is for the beginning learner. The series now includes three student books and two teacher activity books (available online as PDFs), and provides the framework for a proficiency-based approach to learning standard Chinese. Focusing on all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), the program consists of a series of graded tasks that approximate the real-life tasks that a student might face. The approach requires students to learn and manipulate vocabulary and structures to achieve specific real-life ends. The content of each lesson provides the student with the necessary resources, and the practice to develop the necessary skills, to use Chinese to achieve these ends.The Communicating in Chinese curriculum consists of task-based, interactive classroom exercises. The focus is on the learner, and students are encouraged to develop their own strategies to determine and express meaning. The material covers a variety of daily life needs, including becoming acquainted, making appointments, shopping, engaging in leisure activities, obtaining food and drink, and using transportation. All of these activities are presented in context at home, in school, or in common public places. Through exposure to practical reading texts such as street signs, menus, advertisements, schedules, forms, and hand-written notes - in simplified and traditional characters - students gain familiarity with a wide range of Chinese written styles, and learn to convey simple messages by writing Chinese characters as well.The Communicating in Chinese series has been adopted by many schools and colleges throughout the United States and abroad.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. Product DescriptionThe spirited and measured memoir of Walter Bagehot, had he left oneWalter Bagehot (1826-1877) was a prominent English journalist, banker, and man of letters. For many years he was editor of The Economist, and to this day the magazine includes a weekly Bagehot column. His analyses of politics, economics, and public affairs were nothing short of brilliant. Sadly, he left no memoir. How, then, does this book bear the title, The Memoirs of Walter Bagehot? Frank Prochaska explains, Given my longstanding interest in Bagehots life and times, I decided to compose a memoir on his behalf. And so, in this imaginative reconstruction of the memoir Bagehot might have written, Prochaska assumes his subjects voice, draws on his extensive writings (Bagehots Collected Works fill 15 volumes), and scrupulously avoids what Bagehot considered that most unpardonable of faults-dullness. A faux autobiography allows for considerable license, but Prochaska remains true to Bagehots character and is accurate in his depiction of the times. The memoir immerses us in the spirit of the Victorian era and makes us wish to have known Walter Bagehot. He is, Prochaska observes, the Victorian with whom we would most want to have dinner.Review[Prochaska] has done a remarkable job . . . What he has accomplished is a quiet tour de force, often tightening and (if it is permitted to say so) improving on the original . . . Frank Prochaska has shone an agreeable and revelatory light upon this great Victorian writer by an artful deployment of literary mirrors, not lanterns. The Memoirs of Walter Bagehot is a testimony not only to his command of the Bagehot oeuvre but also to his deep understanding of Bagehots curious place in the pantheon of that endangered species, the man of letters.-Roger Kimball, Literary Review -- Roger Kimball - Literary Review Published On: 2013-08-01A brief and eminently readable introduction to a stimulating writer and thinker, a man for whom the term 'public intellectual' may have been coined.-Gertrude Himmelfarb, The Weekly Standard -- Gertrude Himmelfarb - The Weekly StandardAn ambitious reconstruction . . . Augustine Birrell, the English politician and belle-lettrist, put the matter as plainly as Bagehot himself might have: "To know Walter Bagehot through his books," he said, "is one of the good things of life." And so is knowing Bagehot through these Memoirs.-George Selgin, The Wall Street Journal -- George Selgin - The Wall Street JournalAs far as I can check, pretty much everything in this little book is direct quotation, with only minimal editorial linking. So you will probably get as good a picture of what Bagehot was like and what he thought from Prochaskas two hundred pages as from St John Stevas 15 volumes. Prochaska picks out the plums nicely, and the ripest and juiciest are usually Bagehots remarks on the world he really knew from the inside, the world of money.-Ferdinand Mount, London Review of Books -- Ferdinand Mount - London Review of Books Published On: 2014-02-06About the AuthorFrank Prochaska, the author of more than a dozen books, has taught, researched, and published British history throughout his career. He is Honorary Fellow, Institute of Historical Research, London University, and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He lives in Oxford, UK.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Reprint. An eloquent, accessible survey of the work of the iconic American artistFor more than sixty years, Jasper Johns has found new ways to explore how art creates meaning in the mind's eye. His most celebrated paintings from the 1950s and 1960s, with their bold colors, popular imagery, and sculptural elements, had an enormous impact on the development of pop, minimalism, and conceptual art. Johns is undoubtedly one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, and his work has inspired some of the field's most incisive critical thinking and writing.At eighty-two, Johns is still active, as are his critics and observers. Jasper Johns: Seeing with the Mind's Eye brings together established and younger scholars with the aim of exposing a new generation to the variety of critical approaches to this contemporary master. Contributions range from historical to critical and poetic and, unlike most large surveys, take a close, in-depth look at specific works of art and series, including paintings, drawings, graphics, sculptural pieces, and illustrated books from all periods of Johns's career.Published in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern ArtExhibition Schedule:San Francisco Museum of Modern Art 11/03/12-02/03/13.
