You have an opportunity for a better paying job, but you need to improve your English before you can apply. Or, you want to enroll in a university in the United States, but your English is not good enough yet. You have already taken English classes for two years in secondary school. Maybe you have studied more English at the university. You know English grammar and can write, but you need to learn how to speak English.
And you need to improve your spoken English very quickly. This book will tell you how to retrain your mind—and your tongue—in order to learn fluent spoken English. With the information from this book, you can learn to speak English in half of the time it normally takes.
“Joyce takes on archaeology's major themes, writing, and practice in her own engaging text. She has indeed produced a telling story. The book disentangles the enmeshed terrain of representation and narrative, and promises to make a lasting contribution to archaeological theory.” Lynn Meskell, Columbia University
“This is an engaging and readable study of a profoundly neglected topic in archaeology. The Languages of Archaeology constitutes an open and disarmingly honest investigation of how archaeologists write and indeed construct the past through this process. This is a highly innovative and groundbreaking piece of research, in which the aim of retrieving dialogue from its marginalized position is successfully achieved.” Stephanie Moser, University of Southampton

English novelist and scientist C. P. Snow classed certain scientific ideas with the works of Shakespeare as something every educated person should know. One such idea, according to Snow, was the second law of thermodynamics, which deals with the diffusion of heat and has many profound consequences.
He might well have added Newton's laws, the periodic table of elements, the double-helix structure of DNA, and scores of other masterpieces of scientific discovery.
Now, Professor Robert M. Hazen introduces these and other great ideas in 60 lectures that explore the fundamental discoveries and principles of all of the physical and biological sciences—physics, genetics, biology, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology, thermodynamics, and more.
This book, written by two nationally renowned scholars in the area of
ethics in higher education, is intended to help teachers and
administrators understand and handle problems of academic dishonesty.
Chock-full of practical advice, the book is divided into three parts.
Part I reviews the existing published literature about academic
dishonesty among college and university students and how faculty
members respond to the problem. Part II presents practical advice
designed to help college and university instructors and administrators
deal proactively and effectively with academic dishonesty. Part III
considers the broader question of academic integrity as a system-wide
issue within institutions of higher education.
