Acquisition and development of Hebrew: from infancy to adolescence

Ruth A. Berman
"The volume addresses developing knowledge and use of Hebrew from the dual perspective of typologically specific factors and of shared cross-linguistic trends, aimed at providing an overview of acquisition in a single language from infancy to adolescence while also shedding light on key issues in the field as a whole. Essentially non-partisan in approach, the collection includes distinct approaches to language and language acquisition (formal-universalist, pragmatic-usage based, cognitive-constructivist) and deals with a range of topics not often addressed within a single volume (phonological perception and production, inflectional and derivational morphology, simple-clause structure and complex syntax, early and later literacy, writing systems), with data deriving from varied research methodologies (interactive conversations and extended discourse, adult input and child output, longitudinal and cross-sectional corpora, structured elicitations). Each chapter provides background information on Hebrew-specific facets of the topic of concern, but typically avoids ethno-centricity by relating to more general issues in the domain. The book should thus prove interesting and instructive for linguists, psychologists, and educators, and for members of the child language research community both within and beyond the confines of Hebrew-language expertise"--

Traveling heavy: a memoir in between journeys

Behar, Ruth
Traveling Heavy is a deeply moving, unconventional memoir by the master storyteller and cultural anthropologist Ruth Behar. Through evocative stories, she portrays her life as an immigrant child and later, as an adult woman who loves to travel but is terrified of boarding a plane. With an open heart, she writes about her Yiddish-Sephardic-Cuban-American family, as well as the strangers who show her kindness as she makes her way through the world. Compassionate, curious, and unafraid to reveal her failings, Behar embraces the unexpected insights and adventures of travel, whether those be learning that she longed to become a mother after being accused of giving the evil eye to a baby in rural Mexico, or going on a zany pilgrimage to the Behar World Summit in the Spanish town of Béjar. Behar calls herself an anthropologist who specializes in homesickness. Repeatedly returning to her homeland of Cuba, unwilling to utter her last goodbye, she is obsessed by the question of why we leave home to find home. For those of us who travel heavy with our own baggage, Behar is an indispensable guide, full of grace and hope, in the perpetual search for connection that defines our humanity.

Italian fascism's empire cinema

Ben-Ghiat, Ruth
"Ruth Ben-Ghiat provides the first in-depth study of feature and documentary films produced under the auspices of Mussolini's government that took as their subjects or settings Italy's African and Balkan colonies. These "empire films" were Italy's entry into an international market for the exotic. The films engaged its most experienced and cosmopolitan directors (Augusto Genina, Mario Camerini) as well as new filmmakers (Roberto Rossellini) who would make their marks in the postwar years. Ben-Ghiat sees these films as part of the aesthetic development that would lead to neo-realism. Shot in Libya, Somalia, and Ethiopia, these movies reinforced Fascist racial and labor policies and were largely forgotten after the war. Ben-Ghiat restores them to Italian and international film history in this gripping account of empire, war, and the cinema of dictatorship."--Publisher's description.

Ethnographic museums in Israel

Perry, Noam,Kark, Ruth
Ethnographic Museums in Israel focuses on a new dimension of the Israeli museological landscape. Since the 1970s, Jewish ethnic groups that were dissatisfied with the way large-scale museums had displayed (or ignored) their heritage, began to erect museums dedicated to their own cultures. These include museums dedicated exclusively to the cultural heritages of the Jews of Germany, Hungary, India, Iraq, Italy, Libya, Morocco, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Yemen, depicting the "glorious past" of these ethnic groups. In parallel, Arab (including Bedouin), Druze, and Circassian minorities of Israel and Palestinians began creating museums that challenge the narrative portrayed in the museums of Jewish settlement and highlight their own cultural heritage. Taken as a whole, these museums and heritage centers portray the ethnic diversity of Israeli society and preserve this diverse cultural heritage for future generations.

The Vanguard A Photographic Essay on the Black Panthers

Ruth-Marion Baruch,Pirkle Jones
This white husband-and-wife team of photographers became Black Panther sympathizers through their Peace and Freedom Party political involvement and their deeply-imprinted memories of anti-Semitism (Baruch) and Southern lynchings (Jones). ""Slowly, we began to comprehend how severely maligned they were by all the communications media."" Armed with a spur-of-the-moment promise from the art director of San Francisco's De Young Museum to show Panther pictures, Baruch approached Kathleen and Eldridge Cleaver, gained their tentative assent and, eventually, their full confidence. The pair's first photographic foray was to a Free Huey rally in Oakland's De Fremery Park. At first they could aim their cameras only at the rank and file, but ultimately they were permitted to photograph the leaders at close range too, including founder Huey Newton at the Alameda County Court House jail. The completed collection became an object of controversy when the exhibit was abruptly canceled, but Baruch and Jones fought back and their show finally opened to record crowds. Displayed here along with a historical interpretation of the Panthers by black journalist William Worthy, a ""review of Panther growth and harassment,"" and the Party rules, platform, and program, the photographs are of demonstrations, crowds, speeches, displays, but mostly of faces--candid, committed, and compellingly human.

Blood, marriage, wine and glitter: essays

Bergman, S. Bear
S. Bear Bergman is an acclaimed writer and lecturer who travels regularly across North America to speak on trans issues. Bear's first two books, Butch Is a Noun and The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You , are considered seminal texts on the subject of trans life. In his third essay collection, Bear enters, describes, and rearranges our ideas about family as a daughter, husband, father, and friend. In Bear's extended family "orchard," drag sisters, sperm-donor's parents, Sparkles and other relations provide more branches of love, support, and sustenance than a simple family tree. Defiantly queer yet full of tenderness and hilarity, Blood, Marriage, Wine & Glitter is a beautifully thought-provoking book that redefines the notion of what family is and can be.

Hot talk, cold science: global warming's unfinished debate

Singer, S. Fred
Designed to appeal to lay readers and specialists alike, this concise, scientific analysis refutes the pessimistic global warming scenarios depicted in the media. In addition to covering better-known topics such as the climate record, computer models, and the effects of clouds, oceans, and greenhouse gases, the book also provides an in-depth examination of less frequently discussed issues including the inaccuracies in historical climate data, the limitations of attempting to model climate on computers, solar variability and its impact on climate, and factors that could mitigate any human impacts on world climate. Potential upsides related to global warming and the extreme financial consequences that economically disadvantaged groups and nations would suffer as a result of many of the proposed solutions are identified.
