Latino Language and Literacy in Ethnolinguistic Chicago
This volume--along with its companion Ethnolinguistic Chicago: Language
and Literacy in the City's Neighborhoods--fills an important gap in
research on Chicago and, more generally, on language use in globalized
metropolitan areas. Often cited as a quintessential American city,
Chicago is, and always has been, a city of immigrants. It is one of the
most linguistically diverse cities in the United States and home to one
of the largest and most diverse Latino communities. Although language
is unquestionably central to social identity, and Chicago has been well
studied by scholars interested in ethnicity, until now no one has
focused--as do the contributors to these volumes--on the related issues
of language and ethnicity.
Encyclopedia Of Human Geography Human geography in the last decade has undergone a
conceptual and methodological renaissance that transformed it into one of the
most dynamic and innovative of the social sciences. Long a borrower of ideas
from other disciplines, geography has become a contributor in its own right,
and a “spatial turn” is evident in disciplines as diverse as Sociology, Anthropology,
and Literary Criticism.
With more than 300 entries written by an international team of leading
authorities in the field, the
Encyclopedia of Human Geography
offers a comprehensive overview of the major ideas, concepts, terms, and
approaches that characterize a notoriously diverse field. This
multidisciplinary volume provides cross-cultural coverage of human geography as
it is understood in the contemporary world and takes into account the enormous
conceptual changes that have evolved since the 1970s, including a variety of
social constructivist approaches.
Human Evolution
The story of human evolution stretches back over six million years. It is not the story of one species but of several diverse species, some of whom walked the Earth at the same time. From the earliest hominids to the early Homo sapiens, there was nothing inevitable about the course of human evolution.
But what conditions created the opportunity for diverse human species to thrive? What environmental factors led to the survival of one human species, but contributed to the extinction of so many others? What can the fossil record and the science of genetics tell us about our ancestors? How does the brain make modern man so unique in the natural world?
