Описание:

Robert Geraci presents an exceptionally original account of both the politics and the lived experience of diversity in a society whose ethnic complexity has long been downplayed. For centuries, Russians have defined their country as both a multinational empire and a homogeneous nation-state in the making, and have alternately embraced and repudiated the East or Asia as fundamental to Russia's identity.

The author argues that the city of Kazan, in the middle Volga region, was the chief nineteenth-century site for mediating this troubled and paradoxical relationship with the East, much as St. Petersburg had served as Russia's window on Europe a century earlier. He shows how Russians sought through science, religion, pedagogy, and politics to understand and promote the Russification of ethnic minorities in the East, as well as to define themselves.

Vivid in narrative detail, meticulously argued, and peopled by a colorful cast including missionaries, bishops, peasants, mullahs, professors, teachers, students, linguists, orientalists, archeologists, and state officials, Window on the East uses previously untapped archival and published materials to describe the creation (sometimes intentional, sometimes unintentional) of intermediate and new forms of Russianness.

Описание: We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union. Current grammatical knowledge about particular sign languages is fragmentary and of varying reliability, and it appears scattered in scientific publications where the description is often intertwined with the analysis. In general, comprehensive grammars are a rarity. The SignGram Blueprint is an innovative tool for the grammar writer: a full-fledged guide to describing all components of the grammars of sign languages in a thorough and systematic way, and with the highest scientific standards.The work builds on the existing knowledge in Descriptive Linguistics, but also on the insights from Theoretical Linguistics. It consists of two main parts running in parallel: the Checklist with all the grammatical features and phenomena the grammar writer can address, and the accompanying Manual with the relevant background information (definitions, methodological caveats, representative examples, tests, pointers to elicitation materials and bibliographical references). The areas covered are Phonology, Morphology, Lexicon, Syntax and Meaning. The Manual is endowed with hyperlinks that connect information across the work and with a pop-up glossary.The SignGram Blueprint will be a landmark for the description of sign language grammars in terms of quality and quantity.

Описание: Non-Conventional Lending: Changing Investors' Status Quo There's a well-kept secret in the investment world, one with an upside that's so up, it's hard to believe that more investors--many, many more investors--aren't involved. If you're an investor, relying on a volatile investment like securities for needs such as income after retirement doesn't make sense. You need a more stable source of income. The answer is non-conventional lending. This is an investment that pays off in good times and bad. It's appropriate for investors with $15,000 to invest, as well as those with $150,000 or $1.5 million to invest. It takes advantage of one of the best cash flow owing asset classes in the world--real estate--while providing the stability of fixed-income bonds. And it allows the investor to be in control of the investment. In Earning Money While You Sleep, author Anthony Geraci takes you through his own investments to show you how, with non-conventional lending, things can go wrong, and mainly, how things usually go right. As a lawyer and as someone who has done non-conventional lending for his own personal investment for years, and he will teach you how these investments are too good to be ignored and how to protect yourself if the worst should happen.
