Sprogene i verden er et fascinerende emne. Denne bog fører læseren igennem de mange områder, som har med "sprog" at gøre og som er relevant for en studerende med sprogfag: hvad er sprog, hvor mange sprog findes der egentlig, hvordan er de opstået, hvorfor er sprog forskellige, hvor forskellige er sprog, hvordan hænger sproget sammen med den omgivende virkelighed, hvordan forholder tale og skrift sig til hinanden? Forfatteren, lektor emeritus i tysk, dansk, latin og oldtidskundskab, stiller de studerende en del spørgsmål om sprog før læsningen af de enkelte afsnit og endnu flere efter de enkelte afsnit samtidig med at han forklarer en hel del af de græske og latinske fremmedord, som dansk har så mange af og som er en del af den fagterminologi, som de studerende møder i deres lærebøger. På denne måde ser man sammenhængen i ordforrådet fra den græsk-latinske videnskabstradition, og yderligere slutter bogen med et lille, men effektivt latinkursus til brug for eleverne i almen sprogforståelse.

Florilegium er et udvalg af korte latinske tekster fortrinsvis fra 100 f.kr. til 100 e.kr. Hver tekst har en introduktion til forfatter og genre, og bogen sætter derfor teksterne ind i en bredere litteraturhistorisk sammenhæng.Bogen er en naturlig fortsættelse af Ludus og er glosseret efter samme princip, dvs. hver tekst er fuld gloseret og derfor kan teksterne læses i uvilkårlig rækkefølge. Florilegium kan derfor både bruges til slutningen af Latin på C-niveau og ved overgangen fra introduktionen på A-niveau.

Still is a collection of poems that focuses on the immigrant experience: a family's journey from Lima, Peru to Miami, Florida as political refugees and asylum seekers and the impact that had on the life of a boy as he grew into a man. Renzo Del Castillo's poems often reveal larger moral concerns, touching in their language the world of politics and betrayal that cannot help but impose upon the world of private language. That heritage of terror and exile that sometimes underlies these poems gives them a sense of history within the lyric confusions of a single life, capturing the idiosyncrasies of the Miami landscape as a destination for Latin American and Caribbean migrations that intersect with an evolving definition of American identity. These poems include reflections of memory and transition, as well as adaptation to new cultures and geographies, through an ethnographic lens. There is a lovely and intimate tone, used to remind the reader that imagination triumphs over, or sometimes through, adversity.

At 538 pounds, Rick Salewske lived a small life that consisted of his job, his house, and his car--and he was very close to no longer fitting into his car. His stomach rubbing on the steering wheel had already worn a threadbare line across his pants. Often ridiculed by total strangers, he felt humiliated and very much alone. Rick had been raised in a traditional Catholic family, but his relationship with God was more of a distant, respectful belief than an up-close and personal experience. He couldn't fit into a church pew and most definitely not into a confessional booth. What Rick didn't know was that even then, God was actively pursuing him, even when Rick was not pursuing God at all.When Rick's weight cost him a chance at his dream job, God would lead him on a journey that would reach the mountaintops of national television appearances and even the New York Marathon, but his own poor choices would plunge him back down to a valley leading nowhere. It was in that valley that Rick eventually looked up and recognized God's hand in his life. When he learned to keep his eyes on God, the life God intended him to lead finally came into focus.His path was not always smooth or straight. But learning to put his full trust in the Lord led Rick to be less than half and more than twice the man he used to be.

In this book, the author Jesus Briones focuses on the fragility of our psychological ecosystem--a fancy way of saying we are constantly changing and never know exactly what we are becoming. His writing is direct and organic, no fillers or artificial flavors, like folk medicine. He stresses the importance of avoiding false values and appreciating life's simple and unadorned truths. Not dark or gloomy, his message is timely and optimistic, but with provisos. While the world may measure the value of a man by the number of zeroes in his bank account, Mr Briones offers another take on what makes people worth knowing and staying connected to throughout the inevitably unpredictable course of life.His worldview has been shaped by a life spent among all types of people. He was born in 1940 and grew up in rural Mexico. Orphaned at a young age, he worked at a variety of jobs in Mexico and then Arizona, where he is now a builder/contractor. In the process, he came to refine what it means to be a "winner." Success has taught him that winning is not about who has the most points or the most money. For him, life is about accumulating experiences that forge your character and make you the person you were meant to be, something that is often apparent from a young age, as it was in his case.Mr Briones was born on Christmas more than eight decades ago, and he continues to go to work every day and build character, along with fine homes.

A riveting and heart-wrenching story of violence, grief and the American justice system, exploring the systemic issues that perpetuate gang participation in one of the wealthiest cities in the country, through the story of one teenager. In September of 2019, Luis Alberto Quiñonez--known as Sito-- was shot to death as he sat in his car in the Mission District of San Francisco. He was nineteen. His killer, Julius Williams, was seventeen. It was the second time the teens had encountered one another. The first, five years before, also ended in tragedy, when Julius watched as his brother was stabbed to death by an acquaintance of Sito's. The two murders merited a few local news stories, and then the rest of the world moved on. But for the families of the slain teenagers, it was impossible to move on. And for Laurence Ralph, the stepfather of Sito's half-brother who had dedicated much of his academic career to studying gang-affiliated youth, Sito's murder forced him to revisit a subject of scholarly inquiry in a profoundly different, deeply personal way. Written from Ralph's perspective as both a person enmeshed in Sito's family and as an Ivy League professor and expert on the entanglement of class and violence, SITO is an intimate story with an message about the lived experience of urban danger, and about anger, fear, grief, vengeance, and ultimately grace.
