In A.D. 327, a Roman galley with an extraordinary cargo barely escapes a pirate attack. In 1916, a British warship mysteriously explodes in the middle of the North Sea. In the present day, a cluster of important mosques in Turkey and Egypt are wracked by explosions. What ties them all together?
There are at least two ways in which such theoretical integration advances our understanding. First, it gives a more precise characterization of the different classes of copular clauses, which in turn helps us understand why each of them should have the cluster of behavioral properties that led Higgins to his classification.
Intended for elementary school teachers, researchers, and materials
developers, this book presents a cluster approach to vocabulary
instruction, in which words are taught in semantically related groups.
Over 7,000 words from elementary school textbooks have been organized
into 61 instructional clusters, each containing two levels of
subclusters which are grouped according to closeness of semantic
relationship. For each word, the authors have provided a recommended
grade level, its part of speech, and a note on whether it is a basic,
fundamental building block word. The list of clusters is presented in
the appendix. The four chapters that precede the appendix describe
vocabulary theory, procedures for forming the clusters, instructional
uses of the clusters, and additional vocabulary activities not directly
tied to cluster approach. Also included in separate appendixes are (1)
an alphabetized, referenced list of the words; and (2) definitions of
commonly confused words such as "infer" and "imply."
In the search for truth, there is only one question that needs to be
answered: Who am I?
This inquiry into the self is the core of advaita
vedanta (radical non-dualism) – a timeless teaching for breaking free
of mental bonds and reclaiming your true identity: the Infinite that is
beyond death.
On Who Are You? American-born spiritual teacher Gangaji
spells out the bedrock principles of self-inquiry – a cluster of
no-nonsense concepts that reveal how to effortlessly step outside
limited psychological conditioning and mental constructs into the
freedom, expansiveness, and peace of your own true nature.
