This book argues that teachers of multiple languages (TMLs) form a distinct group of language teachers and that the study of this largely overlooked demographic group can reveal new insights into how we perceive and research language teachers. The book highlights the narratives of three TMLs from diverse global contexts, examining their journeys in navigating their careers as well as traversing multiple worlds and developing additional ways of being through new identities, beliefs and emotions. The author offers new, globally-relevant insights for language teaching research at individual, pedagogical and institutional level and demonstrates that teaching multiple languages is an emerging transnational phenomenon that cuts across age, languages, countries, institutions and career stages. By furthering our understanding of why and how some multilingual language teachers have expanded and changed their careers through teaching additional languages, the book offers a new perspective on how language teaching careers are changing in an increasingly globalized, multilingual world.
Yum�yk Yum�yk is a collection of 204 Luise�o texts--including texts of songs--narrated by Mrs. Villiana Hyde and translated by Eric Elliott. Among the texts are "The Early Years at Rinc�n," "Gathering Acorns," "The First Car," "Courtship," "The Girl and Her Pet Coyote," "Plant Uses," "Ravens, Doves, and Flickers as Messengers," "Finding Water," "Chal�wish Song," "Seeing the T��kwish Spirit by Day," and "The Frog and the Coyote." This book is the result of the authors' concern for the survival of Luise�o, a Native American language of Southern California.
This handbook is a review of radioguided surgical procedures, including sentinel node mapping and biopsy described by experts in the field. It is a practical guide for the practicing surgeon and other clinicians who will provide the majority of clinical care for breast cancer and other diseases and who therefore must be able to safely and effectively perform these procedures for their patients.
This book is concerned with establishing the underlying technologies that are common to all forms of magnetic recording ... adaptable to a wide variety of data, video, and audio applications, both at the business and consumer levels."--Preface, p.xv.

This text organizes a range of results in chromatic homotopy theory, running a single thread through theorems in bordism and a detailed understanding of the moduli of formal groups. It emphasizes the naturally occurring algebro-geometric models that presage the topological results, taking the reader through a pedagogical development of the field. In addition to forming the backbone of the stable homotopy category, these ideas have found application in other fields: the daughter subject 'elliptic cohomology' abuts mathematical physics, manifold geometry, topological analysis, and the representation theory of loop groups. The common language employed when discussing these subjects showcases their unity and guides the reader breezily from one domain to the next, ultimately culminating in the construction of Witten's genus for String manifolds. This text is an expansion of a set of lecture notes for a topics course delivered at Harvard University during the spring term of 2016.
Symmetric designs are an important class of combinatorial structures which arose first in the statistics and are now especially important in the study of finite geometries. This book presents some of the algebraic techniques that have been brought to bear on the question of existence, construction and symmetry of symmetric designs - including methods inspired by the algebraic theory of coding and by the representation theory of finite groups - and includes many results. Rich in examples and containing over 100 problems, the text also provides an introduction to many of the modern algebraic approaches used, through six lengthy appendices and supplementary problems. The book will be of interest to both combinatorialists and algebraists, and could be used as a course text for a graduate course.
This book examines non-Gaussian distributions. It addresses the causes and consequences of non-normality and time dependency in both asset returns and option prices. The book is written for non-mathematicians who want to model financial market prices so the emphasis throughout is on practice. There are abundant empirical illustrations of the models and techniques described, many of which could be equally applied to other financial time series.
