Brothers in Grief: The Hidden Toll of Gun Violence on Black Boys and Their Schools
by Nora GrossA heartbreaking account of grief, Black boyhood, and how we can support young people as they navigate loss. JahSun, a dependable, much-loved senior at Boys’ Prep was just hitting his stride in the fall of 2017. He had finally earned a starting position on the varsity football team and was already weighing two college acceptances. Then, over Thanksgiving, tragedy struck. An altercation at his older sister’s home escalated into violence, killing the unarmed teenager in a hail of bullets. JahSun’s untimely death overwhelmed his entire community, sending his family, friends, and school into seemingly insurmountable grief. Worse yet, that spring two additional Boys’ Prep students would be shot to death in their neighborhood. JahSun and his peers are not alone in suffering the toll of gun violence, as every year in the United States teenagers die by gunfire in epidemic numbers, with Black boys most deeply affected. Brothers in Grief closely attends to the neglected victims of youth gun violence: the suffering friends and classmates who must cope, mostly out of public view, with lasting grief and hidden anguish. Set at an ambitious urban high school for boys during the heartbreaking year following the death of JahSun, the book chronicles the consequences of untimely death on Black teen boys and on a school community struggling to recover. Sociologist Nora Gross tells the story of students attempting to grapple with unthinkable loss, inviting readers in to observe how they move through their days at school and on social media in the aftermath of their friends’ and classmates’ deaths. Gross highlights the discrepancy between their school’s educational mission and teachers’ and administrators’ fraught attempts to care for students’ emotional wellbeing. In the end, the school did not provide adequate space for grief, making it more difficult for students to heal, reengage with school, and imagine hopeful futures. Even so, supportive relationships deepened among students and formed across generations, offering promising examples of productive efforts to channel student grief into positive community change. A searing testimony of our collective failure to understand the inner lives of our children in crisis, Brothers in Grief invites us all to wrestle with the hidden costs of gun violence on racial and educational inequity.

Brüche, Verhältnisse und Wurzeln: Grundlagen wiederentdecken und interessante Anwendungen neu kennenlernen (essentials)
by Renate MotzerRenate Motzer führt in die Welt der Brüche ein und bringt sie in Verbindung mit Dezimalzahlen. Sie zeigt anschaulich, dass Brüche als Anteile eines Ganzen verstanden werden können, aber auch als Verhältnisse von zwei Größen. Die Autorin zeigt verständlich auf, warum Wurzeln nicht exakt durch Brüche angegeben werden können, wie man gute Näherungen findet und warum eine ungewöhnliche Bruchaddition zu paradoxen Ergebnissen führen kann. Weiterhin erläutert sie praxisnah die Anwendung von Brüchen beim Prozentrechnen und in der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und geht schließlich auf verschiedene Möglichkeiten ein, Mittelwerte zu bilden.
Brunei English: A New Variety in a Multilingual Society (Multilingual Education #4)
by David Deterding Salbrina SharbawiThis detailed survey of Brunei English reflects the burgeoning academic interest in the many new varieties of English which are fast evolving around the world. Wholly up to date, the study is based on careful analysis of a substantial dataset that provides real-life examples of usage to illustrate the narrative throughout. As well as a thorough account of the pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary usage, and discourse patterns of Brunei English, the volume explores its historical and educational background and current developmental trends, providing an in-depth review of the patterns of English usage within this multilingual, oil-rich society on the north-western coast of Borneo. Written in a non-technical style throughout that will assist non-specialists wishing to grasp the fundamentals of this unique brand of the English language, the work is a worthy addition to Springer’s series on multilingual education that plugs a gap in the coverage of the numerous varieties of English being used across South East Asia. “The authors bring renewed and badly needed attention to the long-overlooked development of Brunei English. Their examination of the variety not only documents the features and functions of English within Brunei society, it also suggests the development of regional or global varieties of English that extend beyond Brunei, and even beyond South East Asia.” Andrew Moody, University of Macau
Brunei English: A New Variety in a Multilingual Society (Multilingual Education #48)
by Salbrina Sharbawi David Deterding Nur Raihan MohamadThis book is a revised and updated edition of the first ever monograph wholly dedicated to the systematic linguistic description of Brunei English. Deterding and Salbrina (2013) provided a comprehensive coverage of the history, structural properties (on the levels of pronunciation, grammar, discourse and vocabulary) and social (and educational) settings of Brunei English. After almost a decade, several notable changes have since been observed in the Bruneian variety of English, and this second edition chronicles the ongoing narrative of language change and discusses the current trends in the use of Brunei English. In addition to presenting a contemporaneous account of English in Brunei, this book also incorporates the role of variation within this variety, thereby addressing a limitation of the first edition. The book also provides a discussion on the impact the rise of English has had in the shaping of the Bruneians’ sense of self, and their interactions between and across social groups. Based on the newly acquired data, the book re-assesses Brunei English’s position in the context of Global Englishes.

Brushing Teeth
by Kulvinder KaurThis collection of short wordless picture books helps to support children with speech, language and communication needs as they develop their expressive sentence and narrative skills through storytelling. Each book is comprised of six colourful images that follow a simple everyday routine such as ‘Brushing Teeth’, ‘Having a Haircut’ and ‘Walking the Dog’. Unlike traditional picture books, they follow a film scroll effect, showing the progression of time and allowing the child to follow the story to its resolution. Because of their simplicity, the books can support children as they move from simple to intermediate sentence levels, as well as encouraging them to consider additional elements of language such as cause and effect, sequencing and inference. This resource includes: Ten beautifully illustrated picture books, each following a simple pattern of routine, disruption and resolution An accompanying guidebook including story scripts, cue questions and prompts for using the resource to support additional skills Although developed specifically to help children with speech, language and communication needs, this set is suitable for any child who requires support and practice in developing their speech. It is an invaluable resource for speech and language therapists, teaching staff and caregivers.
Brushing Up on Grammar: An Acts of Teaching Approach
by Joyce Armstrong Carroll Edward E. WilsonTeachers will use this book as a quick but intensive way to brush up on their grammar skills and a guide to hands-on ways to teach grammar concepts.Brushing Up on Grammar: An Acts of Teaching Approach is grounded in a belief that grammar should be taught within the context of writing and reading. Of course, teachers need to know grammar to be able to teach it, something that has become harder as topics like sentence diagramming and parts of speech have disappeared from curriculums in recent years. This book provides the solid grammar foundation so necessary for teachers in the field of English/language arts.Brushing Up on Grammar illuminates the five meanings of grammar; identifies six key grammar characteristics; and covers all of the categories and labels, rules and history, research, and etymologies relative to the subject. The examples and connections here are designed first and foremost as verbal clay. With them, educators can help students mold, probe, shape, reshape, and above all, enjoy their acts of language.
