Yet many myths persist about bilingualism and bilinguals. Does being bilingual mean you are equally fluent in two languages, or that you belong to two cultures, or even that you have multiple personalities? Can you become bilingual only as a child? Why do bilinguals switch from one language to another in mid-sentence? Will raising bilingual children confuse and delay their learning of any language? In this book, the author, an international authority on bilingualism, son of an English mother and a French father, explores the many facets of bilingualism. He draws on research, interviews, autobiographies, and the engaging examples of bilingual authors. He describes the various strategies, some useful, some not, used by parents raising bilingual children, explains how children easily pick up and forget languages, and considers how bilingualism affects the experience and expression of emotions, thoughts, and dreams. This book shows that speaking two or more languages is not a sign of intelligence, evasiveness, cultural alienation, or political disloyalty. For millions of people, it is simply a way of navigating the complexities of life.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491203http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491036Description: From the tea parties to healthcare and climate change, America's conservative citizens revolted against President Obama's reform agenda. But just how real were the roots of this supposedly grassroots uprising? Was it, in fact, an example of 'astroturfing', which is the practice of manufacturing citizens groups for the purpose of delivering corporate messages? Curious to find out, Australian filmmaker Taki Oldham went undercover to investigate. What he found was astroturfing on a scale greater than he could have imagined. This film offers a look at how corporate elites are exploiting the anxieties of ordinary Americans.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491036http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=454144Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=454144http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456352Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456352http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504156Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504156http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504155Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=504155http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490655Description: This book reviews the complicated challenge facing journalism, tracing its 19th-century community-oriented origins and documenting the vast expansion of the news business via blogs and other Internet-enabled outlets, user-generated content, and news-like alternatives. The author argues that a radical shift in mindset - striving to meet each individual's demands for what he wants to know - will be necessary to save journalism.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490655http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456253Description: "Communication scholar Sut Jhally applies the late sociologist Erving Goffman's groundbreaking analysis of advertising to the contemporary commercial landscape in this provocative new film about gender as a ritualized commercial performance. Uncovering a remarkable pattern of gender-specific poses, Jhally explores Goffman's central claim that the way the body is displayed in advertising communicates normative ideas about masculinity and femininity. The film looks beyond advertising as a medium that simply sells products, and beyond analyses of gender that focus on biological difference or issues of surface objectification and beauty, taking us into the two-tiered terrain of identity and power relations"--Container.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456253http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456761Description: "Tom Boellstorff conducted more than two years of fieldwork in Second Life, living among and observing its residents in the same way anthropologists traditionally have done to learn about cultures and social groups in the so-called real world.

The authors offer constructive guidelines that provide a basis with future conflicts in five unique settings; intercultural, organizational, familial, mediation, and violence in intimate relationships. Within any conflict interaction adept communicators embrace the notion that adopting an ethical stance is both desirable and practical.--[book cover]http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503937http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456251Description: "Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car. Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children's advocates, and industry insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation, showing how youth marketers have used the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world. Consuming Kids pushes back against the wholesale commercialization of childhood, raising urgent questions about the ethics of children's marketing and its impact on the health and well-being of kids."--Container.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456251http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456350Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456350http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456349Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456349http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456351Description: "Essayist Stephen Miller pursues a lifelong interest in conversation by taking an historical and philosophical view of the subject. He chronicles the art of conversation in Western civilization from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its apex in eighteenth-century Britain to its current endangered state in America. As Harry G. Frankfurt brought wide attention to the art of bullshit in his recent bestselling On Bullshit, so Miller now brings the art of conversation into the light, revealing why good conversation matters and why it is in decline." "Miller explores the conversation about conversation among such great writers as Cicero, Montaigne, Swift, Defoe, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and Virginia Woolf. He focuses on the world of British coffeehouses and clubs in "The Age of Conversation" and examines how this era ended. Turning his attention to the United States, the author traces a prolonged decline in the theory and practice of conversation from Benjamin Franklin through Hemingway to Dick Cheney. He cites our technology (iPods, cell phones, and video games) and our insistence on unguarded forthrightness as well as our fear of being judgmental as powerful forces that are likely to diminish the art of conversation."--BOOK JACKET.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456351http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458264Description: Celebrity endorsement, customer testimony and emotional appeal are some of the psychological ingredients of adveritsing that are directed toward teenage consumers.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458264http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456348Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456348http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458273Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458273http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458267Description: Everett M.

Too often these debates have descended into simplistic battles between those who claim that media messages directly cause violence and those who argue that activists exaggerate the impact of media exposure altogether. The Mean World Syndrome, based on the groundbreaking work of media scholar George Gerbner, urges us to think about media effects in more nuanced ways. Ranging from Hollywood movies and prime-time dramas to reality programming and the local news, the film examines how media violence forms a pervasive cultural environment that cultivates in heavy viewers, especially, a heightened state of insecurity, exaggerated perceptions of risk and danger, and a fear-driven propensity for hard-line political solutions to social problems. A provocative and accessible introduction to cultivation analysis, media effects research, and the subject of media influence and media violence more generally"--Container.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=457012http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=454141Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=454141http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458265Description: "Designed for students to help alleviate the stress of preparing for the future.

Dave Kindred takes you inside the heart of the legendary newspaper and offers a unique opportunity to see what it really takes to produce world-class journalism every day. Granted unprecedented access to every nook and cranny of the paper, including candid exchanges with its most celebrated journalists, such as Bob Woodward, Sally Quinn, David Broder, and former executive editor Ben Bradlee, Kindred provides a no-holds-barred look at the twenty-first-century newsroom. As it becomes more difficult to maintain journalistic integrity, stay relevant in the age of blogs, and meet Wall Street's demands for profits, the newspaper--more than any other medium--also shoulders the tremendous responsibility of acting as a watchdog for democracy.--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475868http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456784Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456784http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458277Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458277http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476988Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476988http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=454140Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=454140http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477718Description: "We've been told again and again that sports and politics don't mix. But the way sportswriter Dave Zirin sees it, this is wishful thinking. In this powerful documentary, Ziriin, the iconoclastic sports editor of The Nation magazine, takes viewers on a fascinating and uncompromising tour of the good, the bad, and the ugly of American sports culture -- showing how sports have helped both to stabilize and to disrupt the political status quo throughtout history. After first exploring how American sports, at their worst, have reinforced repressive political ideas and institutions by mindlessly glamorizing things like militarism, racism, sexism, and homophobia, Zirin excavates a largely forgotten -- and ultimately exhilarating -- history of rebel athletes who dared to fight for social justice beyond the field of play." -- Container.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477718http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477805Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477805http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479010Description: Recounts not only the disturbing story of an unprecedented White House conspiracy to assassinate a journalist, but also the larger tale of the bitter quarter-century battle between the postwar era's most embattled politician, Richard Nixon, and its most reviled newsman, Jack Anderson.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479010http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477806Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477806http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476987Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476987http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491235Description: "The Promise of Happiness is a provocative cultural critique of the imperative to be happy. It asks what follows when we make our desires and even our own happiness conditional on the happiness of others: 'I just want you to be happy', 'I'm happy if you're happy'. Combining philosophy and feminist cultural studies, Sara Ahmed reveals the affective and moral work performed by the 'happiness duty', the expectation that we will be made happy by taking part in that which is deemed good, and that by being happy ourselves, we will make others happy. Ahmed maintains that happiness is a promise that directs us toward certain life choices and away from others. Happiness is promised to those willing to live their lives in the right way. Ahmed draws on the intellectual history of happiness, from classical accounts of ethics as the good life, through seventeenth-century writings on affect and the passions, eighteenth-century debates on virtue and education, and nineteenth-century utilitarianism. She engages with feminist, antiracist, and queer critics who have shown how happiness is used to justify social oppression, and how challenging oppression sometimes causes unhappiness. Reading novels and films including "Mrs. Dalloway", "The Well of Loneliness", "Bend It Like Beckham", and Children of Men, Ahmed considers the plight of the figures who are challenged by, and themselves challenge, the attribution of happiness to particular objects or social ideals: the feminist killjoy, the unhappy queer, the angry black woman, and the melancholic migrant. Through her readings, she raises critical questions about the moral order imposed by the injunction to be happy." -- Back cover.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491235http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476986Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476986http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=454139Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=454139http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477802Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477802http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491233Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=491233http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458268Description: This program examines ethical issues in social and natural sciences research and in health research.

[The film] examines how coercive interrogation methods were used by the CIA and then in military interrogations at Guantanamo Bay and Iraq. It carefully presents evidence that the Bush administration promoted these methods and developed legal justification for the practice - and so lays to rest the 'rotten apple' defense for abusive interrogation at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and elsewhere" -- Container.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=458261http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503943Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=503943http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477794Description: Lee Bollinger is one of our foremost experts on the First Amendment--both an erudite scholar and elegant advocate. In this sweeping account, he explores the troubled history of a free press in America and looks toward the challenges ahead. The first amendment guaranteed freedom of the press in seemingly clear terms. However, over the course of American history, Bollinger notes, the idea of press freedom has evolved, in response to social, political, technological, and legal changes. It was not until the twentieth century that freedom of the press came to be understood as guaranteeing an "uninhibited, robust and wide-open" public discourse. But even during the twentieth century, government continually tried to erect barriers: the sedition laws of World War One, the use of libel law, the Pentagon Papers case, and efforts to limit press access to information. Bollinger utilizes this history to explore the meaning of freedom of the press in our globalized, internet-dominated era. As he shows, we have now entered uncharted territory. What does press freedom mean when our news outlets can instantaneously disseminate information throughout the world? When foreign media have immediate access to the American market? Bollinger stresses that even though the law will surely evolve in the coming years, we must maintain our commitment to a press that is "uninhibited, robust, and wide-open," not only in America but everywhere. Given the new ability of foreign media to reach the United States via the Internet and vice versa, it is in America's national interest for press freedoms to expand overseas. While protecting the freedom of the press at home remains a crucial task, the next challenge is to help create a global public forum suitable for an increasingly interconnected world. Part of Oxford's landmark Inalienable Rights series, this book will set the agenda for how we think about the press in the twenty-first century.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477794http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456333Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456333http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479007Description: This is a tale about big business, an imploding dynasty, a mogul at war, and a deal that sums up an era of change. The main character, rocked by feuding factions and those who would remake it, is the Wall Street Journal, which affects the thoughts, votes, and stocks of two million readers daily. Sarah Ellison, while at the Journal, won praise for covering the $5 billion acquisition that transformed the pride of Dow Jones, and of the estimable but eccentric Bancroft family, into the jewel of Rupert Murdoch's kingdom. Here she expands her work, using her knowledge of the paper and its people to go deep inside the landmark transaction, as no outsider has or can, and also far beyond it. With access to all the players, Ellison moves from newsrooms to estates. She shows Murdoch, finally, for who he is--maneuvering, firing, undoing all that the Bancrofts had protected.--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479007http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=456252Description: "Analysis of how governments bent on war-making have relied on a vast arsenal of propaganda techniques to overcome resistance at home and disapproval abroad ...
