The ninth volume in Professor M.A.K. Halliday's collected works is dedicated to the subject of language and education. Professor Halliday sums up the scope of language education under the following five headings: mother tongue education; second language learning; multilingual societies; contexts of language education; and educational linguistics. In addition to the previously unpublished Applied Linguistics as an Evolving Theme (2002) originally presented by Professor Halliday on the occasion of his being awarded the first Gold Medal by the International Association of Applied Linguistics (AILA), this volume contains another nineteen papers covering a comprehensive breadth of topics in language and education addressed by Professor Halliday over the course of his career. The chapters cover language development, language teaching, multilingualism, functional variation in language, and the place of linguistics in education.

This is a collection of poems about arising with, opening to, and owning your life. The three sections start with sky, proceed through sea and come to earth. Getting higher, spreading out, and remaining grounded are the general categories roughly containing the seventy-two poems in this book. Reading this book will allow you a look into the mind of a practicing, long experienced, and well-trained psychiatrist. Dr. Rice has learned about habit patterns and their ability to dominate our lives. His slow healing through many iterations of himself subsequent to crippling personal losses as a young adult is central to most poems in this collection. His science and his experience inform every word of his poems. Resolution is slow. Evolution from grief to gratitude is painful and difficult. Through this process are pitfalls and injury to innocent bystanders. People who have loved him have been damaged. Though healing is incomplete, progress is appreciable. In his journey, the poet has lived the themes of his poems. He has been the team of horses running wild, the quadruple amputee begging at India's Gate, and the mythical kingship of bougainvillea. You may taste his experience in his poems. Taste and enjoy.
