Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Burchfield's brilliant book on the English language is both scholarly and human. It is the best brief survey I have read of the development of English .it conveys an authentic sense of the great mystery of language. It instructs, but it also compels wonder." Anthony Burgess Dr Burchfield stresses both the flexibility and the resilience of the language as he describes the sweeping changes that have transformed it from the relative uniformity of Anglo-Saxon to the many varieties of English spoken throughout the world today. He gives special prominence to the recording of the language in dictionaries and grammars, and to the linguistic importance of migration from the homeland. He pays close attention to particular areas such as pronounciation, dialect, slang, the formation of words, the language of literature, and the language of the English Bible. He also examines and questions the attitudes and methods of some modern scholars. The reader is left in no doubt about the extraordinary richness of the language. As to the future, Dr Burchfield believes that, whatever changes the language may undergo, English will remain a splendidly endowed communicative force for centuries to come. This book is intended for students of English language, linguistics, and literature (A-level and above); general readers interested in the development of the English language, and collectors of the OPUS series.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Stage or film presentations of Look Back in Anger, A Taste of Honey, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Alfie, and Darling were much changed, even transformed, by censorship between 1955-1965. Indeed, censorship altered the progression of the artistic and creative renaissance of the period, and John Osborne, Shelagh Delaney, Alan Sillitoe, Tony Richardson, Lindsay Anderson, and John Schlesinger are just a few of the people who were forced to change their work. Censorship and the Permissive Society explores the predicament writers and directors faced, and highlights the debate over the liberalizing or progressive aspects of the sea changes affecting British society at the time.

This is based on three main problems: reduced lung-volume, breathlessness, and sputum retention. There is a section on pain management which questions the belief that chest physiotherapy need be painful, and advice on the management of on-calls and emergencies. Other topics include the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases and their medical management, people with hyperventilation syndrome, children, and pulmonary rehabilitation, on which this edition places extra emphasis on home management. Outcome measures and critical review are themes throughout, and the final chapter focuses exclusively on the evaluation of practice. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book has two central aims. First, to demonstrate the importance of qualitative research through an examination of the type of data that it is capable of producing. Second, to do so using first-hand research accounts of ethnographic work. Toward these ends, the contributors cover a variety of topics: drug dealing; football hooliganism; entrepreneurial crime; the culture of policing; policing and the miners' strike; protest at Greenham Common; the politics of organizational change and race and sexuality in the field-work process. In reflecting upon personal experiences of field-work, together with the research strategies employed, the authors illustrate their arguments in both a detailed and accessible manner. The themes they discuss include the ethics and politics of field-work; reflexivity and data production; feminist field-work; the publication and production of studies, and an examination of the contrasting cultures of academia and what is normally termed the `field', where knowledges are authenticated according to different rules and power relations. As a result, Interpreting the Field, will have wide appeal for those who wish to understand the dynamics, advantages, and problems associated with ethnographic work: for example, undergraduates and post-graduates undertaking their own research. It will also be of interest to methodologists and those working in the areas of crime, deviance, and organizational studies, as well as general readers of social science literature.
