  In contrast to literary or cultural studies linguistics is not taught in the EFL classroom, yet, it plays a major role in any English language teaching degree. Given this discrepancy it does not come as a surprise that students sometimes ask: "I want to be a teacher! Why do I need all this?" The main goal of this textbook is to demonstrate the relevance of linguistic expertise for the EFL classroom. It explores a wide range of topics (phonetics/phonology, lexis, corpus linguistics, text linguistics and the power of language) with a clear focus on providing a convincing answer to the question above. With its highly accessible style and layout, a wealth of examples and exercises as well as a large range of additional innovative online materials this textbook sets out to convince its readers that they will be better teachers if they are good linguists.

  Maladies of Empire - How...

  Jim Downs

  Most stories of medical progress come with ready-made heroes. John Snow traced the origins of London's 1854 cholera outbreak to a water pump, leading to the birth of epidemiology. Florence Nightingale's contributions to the care of soldiers in the Crimean War transformed hospitals from crucibles of infection to sanctuaries of recuperation. Yet histories of individual innovators ignore many key sources of medical knowledge. 
   
   
   
  Reexamining the foundations of modern medicine, Jim Downs shows that the study of infectious disease depended crucially on the unrecognized contributions of nonconsenting subjects—conscripted soldiers, enslaved people, and subjects of empire. Plantations, slave ships, and battlefields were the laboratories in which physicians came to understand the spread of disease. Military doctors learned about the importance of air quality by monitoring Africans confined to the bottom of slave ships. Statisticians charted cholera outbreaks by surveilling Muslims in British-dominated territories returning from their annual pilgrimage. 
   
   
   
  The scientific knowledge derived from discarding and exploiting human life is now the basis of our ability to protect humanity from epidemics. Boldly argued and eye-opening, Maladies of Empire gives a full account of the true price of medical progress.

  The Myths of Creation - Stories...

  Odessa Nightshade

  The story of creation is one of the most profound and enduring themes in human history. Across every culture and civilization, humanity has sought to understand its place in the cosmos by asking the same timeless questions: Where did the world come from? How were humans formed? What forces or beings shaped the universe? The answers to these questions, though infinitely varied, have been passed down through myths—narratives that blend imagination, culture, and spirituality to explain the mysteries of existence.  
    
  Creation myths are more than just stories; they are reflections of how humans see themselves and their relationship to the universe. Some cultures envision a creator as a benevolent being bringing life into existence through love and care, while others see the world as the result of chaos, conflict, or sacrifice. Some myths place the origin of the cosmos in an act of divine speech, a sacred breath, or the unfolding of an egg, while others suggest that the universe emerged accidentally, out of chaos or chance. These narratives often reflect the values, fears, and aspirations of the societies that tell them, offering a glimpse into their worldview and the way they interpret their surroundings.  
    
  Despite their differences, creation myths share common themes that highlight the universal nature of human curiosity and imagination. The struggle between order and chaos, the role of divine beings, the cycle of creation and destruction—these motifs appear repeatedly, connecting disparate cultures in their quest to explain the unknown. Whether told by the ancient Greeks, the Norse, the Hindus, or the Aztecs, these stories often reveal a shared longing to make sense of existence, to explain the unexplainable, and to give meaning to life’s beginnings.
