In the movies, it seems as if it is hard work pushing the plow. The horse pulls the plow, all the plow-hand has to do is keep the plow upright and guide it. He can think and dream. As a 15-year-old boy, I plowed and dreamed of becoming wealthy and owning a big ranch. I worked, earned a living but never became wealthy. After retiring, I decided to write this book, put a 15-year-old boy behind a plow, find a way to make him wealthy, and thus accomplish my dreams and much more.

Language as Cultural Practice

Mexicanos en el Norte

By: Sandra R. Schecter,Robert J. Bayley

Language as Cultural Practice: Mexicanos en el Norte offers a vivid ethnographic account of language socialization practices within Mexican-background families residing in California and Texas. This account illustrates a variety of cases where language is used by speakers to choose between alternative self-definitions and where language interacts differentially with other defining categories, such as ethnicity, gender, and class. It shows that language socialization--instantiated in language choices and patterns of use in sociocultural and sociohistorical contexts characterized by ambiguity and flux--is both a dynamic and a fluid process. The study emphasizes the links between familial patterns of language use and language socialization practices on the one hand, and children's development of bilingual and biliterate identities on the other. Using a framework emerging from their selection of two geographically distinct localities with differing demographic features, Schecter and Bayley compare patterns of meaning suggested by the use of Spanish and English in speech and literacy activities, as well as by the symbolic importance ascribed by families and societal institutions (such as schools) to the maintenance and use of the two languages. Language as Cultural Practice: *provides a detailed account of the diversity of language practices and patterns of use in language minority homes; *offers educators detailed information on the language ecology of Latino homes in two geographically diverse communities--San Antonio, Texas, and the San Francisco Bay Area, California; *shows the diversity within Mexican-American communities in the United States--families profiled range from rural families in south Texas to upper middle class professional families in northern California; *provides data to correct the prevalent misconception that maintenance of Spanish interferes with the acquisition of English; and *contributes to the study of language socialization by showing that the process extends throughout the lifetime and that it is an interactive rather than a one-way process. This book will particularly interest researchers and professionals in linguistics, anthropology, applied linguistics, and education, and will be useful as a text in graduate courses in these areas that address language socialization and learning.

Margins of Reality

The Role of Consciousness in the Physical World

By: Robert G. Jahn,Brenda J. Dunne

WHAT HAS MODERN SCIENCE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG? This pioneering work, which sparked intense controversy when it was first published two decades ago, suggests that modern science, in the name of rigor and objectivity, has arbitrarily excluded the role of consciousness in the establishment of physical reality. Drawing on the results of their first decade of empirical experimentation and theoretical modeling in their Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program, the authors reach provocative conclusions about the interaction of human consciousness with physical devices, information-gathering processes, and technological systems. The scientific, personal, and social implications of this revolutionary work are staggering. MARGINS OF REALITY is nothing less than a fundamental reevaluation of how the world really works.

Auto Racing in the Shadow of the Great War

Streamlined Specials and a New Generation of Drivers on American Speedways, 1915-1922

By: Robert Dick

From 1915 through the early 1920s, American auto racing experienced rapid and exciting change. Competition by European vehicles forced American car manufacturers to incorporate new features, resulting in legendary engineering triumphs (and, essentially, works of art). Some of the greatest drivers in racing history were active during this time--Ralph DePalma, Dario Resta, Eddie Rickenbacker, the Chevrolet brothers, Jimmy Murphy. Presenting dozens of races in detail and a wealth of engineering specs, this history recalls the era's cigar-shaped speedway specials and monumental board tracks, the heavy-footed drivers, fearless mechanics, gifted engineers and enthusiastic backers.

Both a dreamer and doer her simple, one road, three-day journey to freedom, becomes a reality. Convinced her liberation lies in riches, fame and a law degree, her expectations control her every emotion, her every action. Her fresh journey is quickly detoured.

Married with children, her talents soar, and fame surges. Increasing to the pinnacle of her success, past choices, present-day anger, and her unfulfilled expectations force her full circle until, at the powerful River under the bridge, once Carries hallowed God spot, good and evil face off. A battle of titans. Carries inspirational story now in jeopardy. Will she trade her life, for a life, will she give in and give up saving her daughter? The kingdom stands still in anticipation of the God that she will serve.
