Paperback. Etat : Good. The book reviews recent theoretical and pedagogical innovations in foreign language teaching and learning in Chinese higher education. Facing new requirements of foreign language education, Chinese researchers and practitioners have responded by developing innovative teaching and learning approaches suitable for the local context. Firstly, Xu-argument and Production-Oriented Approach are theories proposed to address the weaknesses of low teaching efficiency and meet the needs for better learning effect. The former is a new approach to second language acquisition, contending that language is acquired through continuation, and the latter is a pedagogical theory that holds that learning starts with and ends with production. As an innovative teaching approach, Content and Language Integration (CLI) expands the curriculum to incorporate systematic disciplinary knowledge into foreign language teaching in the Chinese context. In modern media technology, multimodal pedagogy has been adopted to cultivate multiliteracies in language learners as new requirements for talents. In addition, Chinese scholars have argued for the comprehensive integration of technologies and have engaged in theoretical construction and pedagogical practice of technology-enhanced language teaching. Finally, projected-based language learning has been localized to foster innovation and creativity in English learners. Tom Novak (illustrateur).…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Amazon's Best Biographies and Memoirs of the Year List "This touching memoir of the late neurologist Oliver Sacks, by a photographer and writer with whom he fell in love near the end of his life, turns a story of death into a celebration." -The New Yorker "A beautifully written once-in-a-lifetime book, about love, about life, soul, and the wonderful loving genius Oliver Sacks, and New York, and laughter and all of creation." -Anne Lamott Bill Hayes came to New York City in 2009 with a one-way ticket and only the vaguest idea of how he would get by. But, at forty-eight years old, having spent decades in San Francisco, he craved change. Grieving over the death of his partner, he quickly discovered the profound consolations of the city's incessant rhythms, the sight of the Empire State Building against the night sky, and New Yorkers themselves, kindred souls that Hayes, a lifelong insomniac, encountered on late-night strolls with his camera. And he unexpectedly fell in love again, with his friend and neighbor, the writer and neurologist Oliver Sacks, whose exuberance--"I don't so much fear death as I do wasting life," he tells Hayes early on--is captured in funny and touching vignettes throughout. What emerges is a portrait of Sacks at his most personal and endearing, from falling in love for the first time at age seventy-five to facing illness and death (Sacks died of cancer in August 2015). Insomniac City is both a meditation on grief and a celebration of life. Filled with Hayes's distinctive street photos of everyday New Yorkers, the book is a love song to the city and to all who have felt the particular magic and solace it offers.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. In his most extraordinary book, one of the great clinical writers of the twentieth century (The New York Times) recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders. Oliver Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks's splendid and sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling against incredible adversity, and they enable us to enter the world of the neurologically impaired, to imagine with our hearts what it must be to live and feel as they do. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of medicine's ultimate responsibility: the suffering, afflicted, fighting human subject.…
