Welcome to English 4 U, a magazine for learners of English in the United Arab Emirates. It is issued three times during the academic year and distributed to schools and through selected retail outlets.

Distributed Language (Benjamins Current Topics)

The volume presents language as fully integrated with human existence. On this view, language is not essentially ‘symbolic’, not represented inside minds or brains, and most certainly not determined by micro-social rules and norms. Rather, language is part of our ecology. It emerges when bodies co-ordinate vocal and visible gesture to integrate events with different histories. Enacting feeling, expression and wordings, language permeates the collective, individual and affective life of living beings. It is a profoundly distributed, multi-centric activity that binds people together as they go about their lives.

Local Energy: Distributed generation of heat and power

In future the UK's energy supplies, for both heat and power, will come from much more diverse sources. In many cases this will mean local energy projects serving a local community or even a single house. What technologies are available? Where and at what scale can they be used? How can they work effectively with our existing energy networks? This book explores these power and heat sources, explains the characteristics of each and examines how they can be used.

The pedagogy used in Saxon Math is unique, effective, and research based. The authors of the Saxon Math series recognized that smaller pieces of information are easier to deliver and easier to learn. Rather than grouping topics into chapters, they separated complex concepts into increments and distributed them throughout each grade level. The result is a distributed approach in which instruction, practice, and assessment of concepts recur continually.
