Sense and Sensibility is Austen's first published novel and the one now most scrutinized by historicist and feminist scholars, who offer new, complex readings of the work. The text is that of the 1813 Second Edition (the origins of which can be traced back to 1795). The text is fully annotated and is accompanied by a map of nineteenth-century England. "Contexts" explores the personal and social issues that loom large in Austen's novel: sense, sensibility, self-control, judgment, romantic attachments, family, and inheritance.

This book offers work by the most outstanding researchers in each field and is intended as a snapshot of the sort of theory and research taking place in language acquisition in the 1990s. All of the articles were chosen to reflect topics and debates of current interest, and all take an interdisciplinary approach to language development, relating the study of how a child comes to possess a language to issues within linguistics, computational theory, biology, social cognition, and comparative psychology.

This book contains 30 topics designed for ESL and EFL learners. It aims to improve students' conversational skills by eliciting their opinions and views.

This is the third edition of Mark Tennant's popular and highly regarded text, which examines the role of psychology in informing adult education practice. It explores the seminal transitions of key psychological theories, and discusses issues and problems in applying them to an understanding of adult learning and development.
