Roughly half the world's population speaks languages derived from a shared linguistic source known as Proto-Indo-European. But who were the early speakers of this ancient mother tongue, and how did they manage to spread it around the globe? Until now their identity has remained a tantalizing mystery to linguists, archaeologists, and even Nazis seeking the roots of the Aryan race. The Horse, the Wheel, and Language lifts the veil that has long shrouded these original Indo-European speakers, and reveals how their domestication of horses and use of the wheel spread language and transformed civilization. Linking prehistoric archaeological remains with the development of language, David Anthony identifies the prehistoric peoples of central Eurasia's steppe grasslands as the original speakers of Proto-Indo-European, and shows how their innovative use of the ox wagon, horseback riding, and the warrior's chariot turned the Eurasian steppes into a thriving transcontinental corridor of communication, commerce, and cultural exchange. He explains how they spread their traditions and gave rise to important advances in copper mining, warfare, and patron-client political institutions, thereby ushering in an era of vibrant social change. Anthony also describes his fascinating discovery of how the wear from bits on ancient horse teeth reveals the origins of horseback riding. The Horse, the Wheel, and Language solves a puzzle that has vexed scholars for two centuries--the source of the Indo-European languages and English--and recovers a magnificent and influential civilization from the past.

The use of English as a global lingua franca has given rise to new challenges and approaches in our understanding of language and communication. One area where ELF (English as a lingua franca) studies, both from an empirical and theoretical orientation, have the potential for significant developments is in our understanding of the relationships between language, culture and identity. ELF challenges traditional assumptions concerning the purposed 'inexorable' link between a language and a culture. Due to the multitude of users and contexts of ELF communication the supposed language, culture and identity correlation, often conceived at the national level, appears simplistic and naive. However, it is equally naive to assume that ELF is a culturally and identity neutral form of communication. All communication involves participants, purposes, contexts and histories, none of which are 'neutral'. Thus, we need new approaches to understanding the relationship between language, culture and identity which are able to account for the multifarious and dynamic nature of ELF communication.

Celebrating 100 years of Agatha Christie stories, The Mysterious Affair at Styles is Hercule Poirot's first case, performed on audio by Captain Hastings actor Hugh Fraser. 'Beware! Peril to the detective who says: "e;It is so small - it does not matter..."e; Everything matters.' After the Great War, life can never be the same again. Wounds need healing, and the horror of violent death banished into memory. Captain Arthur Hastings is invited to the rolling country estate of Styles to recuperate from injuries sustained at the Front. It is the last place he expects to encounter murder. Fortunately he knows a former detective, a Belgian refugee, who has grown bored of retirement... 'Agatha Christie is the gateway drug to crime fiction thanks to her storytelling skills. Just one book is never enough...' VAL McDERMID 'What a writer. A hundred years after her first novel, and we are all still standing in her shadow.' ANDREW TAYLOR 'Agatha Christie must surely be the most imitated author in the entire canon of literature - what greater acclaim could there be?' PETER JAMES

Pjecen er skrevet for forældre til små børn, der stammer, og for forældre, der er i tvivl om, hvorvidt deres barn stammer. Pjecen henvender sig også til pædagoger, dagplejere og andre, der i deres hverdag er i kontakt med små børn.Formålet med pjecen er at give forældre og andre en forståelse af, hvad stammen er, hvordan stammen kan udvikle sig, og hvordan man bedst muligt kan håndtere stammen hos det lille barn. Stammen kan udvikle sig til et alvorligt handicap, hvis der ikke tidligt bliver grebet ind med behandling. Både logopæder, forældre og daginstitutionspersonale er vigtige i behandlingen.Pjecen indeholder beskrivelse af forskelle på stammen og normal ikke-flydende tale hos børn, viden om stammen, hvordan stammen kan udvikle sig og teorier om stammens opståen. Foruden råd til forældre er der en række henvisninger til kilder, hvor det er muligt at søge mere information.Denne pjece er en revideret udgave af pjecen fra 1990. Forfatterne har i den reviderede udgave gjort brug af den nyeste viden om arbejdet med børn, der stammer.2. udgave 2011

Tænk - når du tænkerSkriv - når du skriverRediger - når du revidererDet er den enkle filosofi som Maria Larsen beskriver i hendes nye bog, og bruger når hun underviser og rådgiver virksomheder og organisationer i at formidle og fortælle. For det lyder så nemt, men kan nemt drille, når man skal skrive, fordi man får blandet alle tre faser sammen. Det er besværligt at ændre vaner, men også forløsende. Små succeser bliver langsomt til nye vaner. Ved at følge bogens konkrete råd i hver fase af skriveprocessen kan du skrive godt, uanset hvilket emne eller hvilken type tekst, du skal skrive.Værktøjerne kan hjælpe dig med at skrive mere klart og fokuseret, så du bliver forstået og husket af din læser, både når du skal skrive: mails, notater, referater, blogindlæg, nyheder, opdateringer, pressemeddelelser, artikler eller kundecases.”Skriv lettere end du tror” er inspireret af, at mange kursister har oplevet, at det faktisk ikke behøver at være så svært, som de troede. En kommunikationskonsulent bruger teknikken i sin dagligdag: ”Det er blevet meget nemmere at skrive. Før sad jeg tit fast og vidste ikke, hvad jeg skulle skrive. Nu skriver jeg bare, og jeg synes, mine tekster bliver bedre”.Man kan uanset udgangsniveau lære at skriver bedre, mere effektivt og til stor glæde for både skribenten og læseren. På én og samme tid. Så kast dig ud i det, og oplev en større glæde ved at skrive.
