DOWNLOAD EBOOKHi, I'm Bert Babero. I'm, what you might call, an observer of people. This is the audio-video version of my book, "Attitudes;" a collection of poetic essays intended to address the question: What makes people tick? It deals with Attitudes, some of which are mine, and some of which are not. The book is not intended to express a solitary theme or to promote a singular message. Rather, you should find it relatively eclectic. . , as, perhaps, am I. After all, I'm a Muslim, by religion, African, by ethnicity, and American, by citizenship- having been raised in Africa, Arabia, and the USA. I'm an advocate of Affirmative Action and stem-cell research, reparations for racial injustice and Palestinian sovereignty; trained as a lawyer and a boxer. I embrace the Republican party and the Nation of Islam, have joined the NAACP and the National Rifle Association; enjoy Andrea Boucelli, hate Ebonics, love boating and, am indifferent to basketball. In other words, if it's stereotypes you're looking for, look elsewhere. Now, poetry, I concede, is not for everyone. . . neither, in fact, is literature period, come to think of it. But for those of us, who appreciate art in language, poetry rocks. Of course, there is another possibility; you may like poetry. . , just not my poetry. And, that's OK, because if my style is not the same as yours, don't worry, that makes us even; but, if it is the same, take heart. . , that makes you exceptional. So, laugh, if you will; think, if you can; or cry, if you must. Just sit back, relax, appreciate and, hopefully. . , enjoy. Best Wishes, Bert

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEndlessly fascinating, dark and bright, The Red Shoes (1948) employs every branch of the cinematic arts to sweep the audience off its feet, invigorated by the transcendence of art itself, only to leave them with troubling questions. Representing the climax of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's celebrated run of six exceptional feature films, the film remains a beloved, if unsettling and often divisive, classic. Pamela Hutchinson's study of the film examines its breathtaking use of Technicolor, music, choreography, editing and art direction at the zenith of Powell and Pressburger's capacity for 'composed cinema'. Through a close reading of key scenes, particularly the film's famous extended ballet sequence, she considers the unconventional use of ballet as uncanny spectacle and the feminist implications of the central story of female sacrifice. Hutchinson goes on to consider the film's lasting and wide-reaching influence, tracing its impact on the film musical genre and horror cinema, with filmmakers such as Joanna Hogg, Sally Potter, Martin Scorsese and Brian De Palma having cited the film as an inspiration.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOMG UR a Teenager is a coming-of-age novel for the Me-Too generation. Full of Gen Z angst and humor and heart, it’s a revision of the classic story to highlight personal growth in a more feminist age. Poised on the brink of becoming a teenager, Kat Cruz rides waves of excitement and worry. Life’s possibilities are on the horizon: her first bra, perhaps a boyfriend, maybe a job as a journalist. It all seems so close but just out of reach, until her family moves to a ramshackle fixer-upper and Kat meets the neighbor’s son, Will Morris. Despite the sad state of the house and a rash of burglaries in the area, one look into Will’s golden-brown eyes makes Kat think that perhaps the move won’t be so bad. Kat relies on her best friend Jen to help her navigate their new adolescent world, including surviving her little brother Max’s superhero antics and catching Will’s attention. Kat’s parents are distracted by their floundering gym business and her grandmother’s advancing Alzheimer’s, leaving Kat to fend for herself against school bully Maria. Then Kat’s editorials in the school paper offend Will’s mother. Worse, her dance at the school talent show shocks her, and she turns her frosty back on the entire Cruz family. With life unraveling at the seams, Kat must grow more quickly than expected—and in more ways than simply filling out a bra.

Topics addressed concern the acquisition and learning, teaching and testing, assessment and treatment of various aspects of pragmatic ability, knowledge and use. These include, for example, the acquisition and development of speech acts, implicatures, irony, story-telling and interactional competence. Phenomena such as pragmatic awareness and pragmatic transfer are also addressed. The disorders considered include clinical conditions pertaining to children and to adults. Specifically, these are, among others, autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, and Alzheimer's disease.
