Signs Books

This book was written for teachers of interpreters. While this is a great idea, I think the interpreters themselves should read this book. The field of interpreting is expanding and we need to keep up to date on the latest information. I cant say enough about this book!

This book is an amazing resource for patients with breast cancer and their friends and family. It gives you factual information to dispell the myths and clearly guides you through every step you may have to take. It has been my constant companion throughout my journey and has never failed me when I have needed information.

Mr.Pierce has researched this topic thouroughly and shares the foundation and evolution of communication design in an unprecedented format. The CD Rom which I have ordered with the book (usually extra) is a gold mine for graphic designers. I highly recomment this!

With so much information to be taken on board by clinical students, not only factually but also clinically, it is reassuring to find a book which covers all essentials so well. This highly readable book is written in a very easy-to-understand way and with all the colourful diagrams actually makes reading it fun. This book covers all the core topics that will carry a clinical student through to the exams and beyond.

This book gives an excellent account of the physical examination. It is profusely illustrated with high-quality diagrams and photographs. The text is engaging and holds reader interest. While the title implies an approach from a surgeon's perspective, this work will be immensely useful to all those interested in the study and practice of the clinical bedside examination, irrespective of specialty.

Written by Jack Hoza (Director of the Sign Language Interpretation Program at the University of New Hampshire, Manchester) It's Not What You Sign, It's How Your Sign It: Politeness In American Sign Language is an analysis of linguistic strategies employed by ASL signers as compared to English speakers, with regard to the social variables of specific contexts. Chapters contrast requests in ASL and English, rejections in ASL and English, the interconnection between fluency and politeness, and much more. A scholarly text ideal for intermediate to advanced linguistic students and scholars, It's Not What You Sign, It's How You Sign It is a welcome contribution to language and communication studies shelves.

I am definitely in the biblicist fold, so I view critical writings with a view to gain what I can from them while retaining my skepticism of their general value. I need not have held such a view with this book. The scholarship is of the highest quality, thoroughly researched and well supported in the notes. Questions such as, "Did the prophets really act in the way described in the text?", are treated in a forthright, very objective manner. This approach is maintained throughout. In addition to being a worthy contribution in sign-acts study, Friebel's book can be used to illustrate how good exegesis can combine with reverence for the Scriptures to produce fresh insights into biblical teachings. I know it is expensive, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it to serious students of the prophets.

Harrington is one of the most accessible writers of scripture who is also a true historical-critical biblical scholar. The Jesus of Mark's Gospel and the real Paul and his understanding of Jesus are revealed to the reader with clarity and verve. He also presents a cogent argument that Paul was not anti-woman at all, but was very much in line with the acceptance of women that Jesus held.

I have use this text for years in theology classes, with much success.

I wish it were still in print.

Firstly, it is a wonderful photography book. The large color Photos feature women from the many ethnic groups within Nepal, decked out in the most gorgous jewelry! Much attention is given to the jewelry of the Tibetan groups. The text is informative and easy to read. After a long day at the office, I can open this book and be magically transported to an exotic place. If you enjoy learning about Himalayan art and culture, this book is for you!
