Sinopsis

In "Sign Language Among North American Indians," Garrick Mallery meticulously explores the intricate system of sign language used by various Indigenous tribes across North America. Through a comprehensive analysis, Mallery delves into the diverse linguistic elements of these visual-gestural languages, highlighting their cultural significance and social function. Drawing from an array of ethnographic accounts and linguistic research, the book enriches the understanding of Native American communication, presenting a unique perspective on the interplay between language and culture. Mallery's scholarly approach is complemented by detailed illustrations and observational studies, situating the work within the broader context of anthropological and linguistic discourse of the late 19th century. Garrick Mallery, a prominent figure in the fields of anthropology and linguistics, was driven by a profound interest in Indigenous cultures during a period marked by significant research into Native American languages. His deep engagement with the Native populations and persistent inquiries into their methods of communication inform this seminal work, making it both a product of its time and a pioneering exploration of sign language. Mallery's contributions extend beyond this book, as he sought to elevate understanding and appreciation of Indigenous knowledge systems through his research. I highly recommend "Sign Language Among North American Indians" to scholars, linguists, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of Native American cultures. Mallery's groundbreaking research not only sheds light on the complexities of Indigenous sign language but also serves as an essential resource for understanding the broader implications of communication within these societies. This book is invaluable for those seeking to appreciate the cultural dimensions of language and the profound ways in which it shapes human interaction.

Why is it important to learn collocations and idioms? 
An appreciation of collocations and idioms will help you to use the words you know more accurately. In other words, you’ll make (NOT do) fewer mistakes. 
Sound more natural when you speak and write. 
By saying, for example, go blank, rather than forget everything, you won’t just be understood, you will – quite rightly – sound like a fluent user of English. 
Vary your speech and, probably more importantly, your writing 
Instead of repeating everyday words like very, good or nice, you will be able to get access to wider range of language. 
Mastering collocations, idioms and phrases means no more struggle, pausing or confusion while dealing with any of the major skills of the language (writing, reading, speaking and listening). This is the most effective method to use English words in a correct but natural way.

Get to the Publishing Punchline...

As a literary agent, Joy Eggerichs Reed sees book proposals that, unfortunately, she writes off after about sixty seconds of skimming. 
While that may sound harsh, there are specific things she looks for that show her immediately how seriously a writer takes their goals of getting published. 
Even though the first steps of writing and figuring out how to publish a book can feel daunting, this book will not only give you everything you need for an incredible proposal, but demystify the publishing process, tell you how to market yourself authentically (and enjoyably), and cheer you on with practical next steps as you decide which publishing route is best for you. 
And, Joy wants to make this whole process FUN. 
This is an upbeat 30-day guide with easy to follow examples, stories, and funny illustrations (that you're more than welcome to color in because your brain will need a break), as well as insider knowledge about how to catch an agent's eye, how to land your dream endorsement and how to wildly increase your chances of getting a book deal. 
Non-fiction, memoir, or novel—this book will help authors (especially first-timers) who have questions and feel alone in the writing process. Let Joy be your (slightly aggressive) friend who will encourage you, tell you what to do, and leave you feeling oh-so-confident because of all the progress you've made by day 30. If you let this book guide you, you will close the last page, and involuntarily shout, "WOW, I did that!" 
You’ll also get to know way more about Joy’s personal life than you probably wanted

Writing is, and always will be, an act defined by failure. The best plan is to just get used to it.
		 
Failure is a topic discussed in every creative writing department in the world, but this is the book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare them. Less a guide to writing and more a guide to what you need to continue existing as a writer, On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer describes the defining role played by rejection in literary endeavors and contemplates failure as the essence of the writer’s life. Along with his own history of rejection, Marche offers stories from the history of writerly failure, from Ovid’s exile and Dostoevsky’s mock execution to James Baldwin's advice just to endure, where living with the struggle and the pointlessness of writing is the point.

This is the story of Dr. Geneva Smitherman, aka "Dr. G," the pioneering linguist often referred to as the "Queen of Black Language." In a series of narrative essays, Dr. G writes eloquently and powerfully about the role of language in social transformation and the academic, intellectual, linguistic, and societal debates that shaped her groundbreaking work as a Black Studies O.G. and a Womanist scholar-activist of African American Language. 
 
 
 
These eleven essays narrate the development of Dr. G's race, gender, class, and linguistic consciousness as a member of the Black Power Generation of the 1960s and 70s. In My Soul Look Back In Wonder, Dr. G links the personal to the professional and the political, situating the struggles, and successes, of a Black woman in the Academy within the historical experiences and development of her people. 
 
 
 
As Dr. G enters her eighth decade, in this Black Lives Matter historical moment, she seeks to share the meaning and purpose of a life of study and struggle and its significance for all those who seek racial and social justice today.
