This book was released on 1993-09-15 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who uses "skeeter hawk," "snake doctor," and "dragonfly" to refer to the same insect? Who says "gum band" instead of "rubber band"? The answers can be found in the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (LAMSAS), the largest single survey of regional and social differences in spoken American English. It covers the region from New York state to northern Florida and from the coastline to the borders of Ohio and Kentucky. Through interviews with nearly twelve hundred people conducted during the 1930s and 1940s, the LAMSAS mapped regional variations in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation at a time when population movements were more limited than they are today, thus providing a unique look at the correspondence of language and settlement patterns. This handbook is an essential guide to the LAMSAS project, laying out its history and describing its scope and methodology. In addition, the handbook reveals biographical information about the informants and social histories of the communities in which they lived, including primary settlement areas of the original colonies. Dialectologists will rely on it for understanding the LAMSAS, and historians will find it valuable for its original historical research. Since much of the LAMSAS questionnaire concerns rural terms, the data collected from the interviews can pinpoint such language differences as those between areas of plantation and small-farm agriculture. For example, LAMSAS reveals that two waves of settlement through the Appalachians created two distinct speech types. Settlers coming into Georgia and other parts of the Upper South through the Shenandoah Valley and on to the western side of the mountain range had a Pennsylvania-influenced dialect, and were typically small farmers. Those who settled the Deep South in the rich lowlands and plateaus tended to be plantation farmers from Virginia and the Carolinas who retained the vocabulary and speech patterns of coastal areas. With these revealing findings, the LAMSAS represents a benchmark study of the English language, and this handbook is an indispensable guide to its riches.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Education in West Virginia In that splendid address delivered at Buffalo only the day before his assassination, President McKinley said that expositions are the timekeepers of progress. This is true in many ways with reference to the development and advancement of West Virginia. In 1876 there was distributed at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia a book entitled The Resources of West Virginia, which first called the attention of the world to our vast material wealth, and to the other great possibilities within our borders. Then in 1893 a similar work called "The Mountain State" was prepared for the World's Fair at Chicago. At that time also the "Columbian History of Education in West Virginia" was issued, being the first printed record relating to our educational progress. This book was prepared by State Superintendent B. S. Morgan and Mr. J. F. Cork, and was an excellent presentation of what had been accomplished up to that time. It is proper to say here that in 1889 Prof. A. R. Whitehill, of the West Virginia University, prepared an educational history of the State for the Bureau of Education at Washington, but it was not published until 1902, at which time he added an appendix bringing it up to date and making it a valuable contribution to the literature of this class. So the great expositions held in former years have been to us timekeepers of our educational as well as our material progress, and this present sketch is the outgrowth of a desire to indicate to the world at St. Louis that we are aiming to have our educational work keep at least within hailing distance of our wonderful material development. As a part of the old "Mother State" at the time of the purchase of Louisiana, West Virginia can claim a share in that honor, and she gladly Joins with other parts of the Union in celebrating this great event that has given us such a vast domain and added so many prosperous states to our sisterhood. With this end in view, and as indicating somewhat of our advancement, this History of Education is issued. It consists of sketches relating to the educational work in various cities, towns and counties of the State, together with cuts and illustrations of some of our school buildings and their equipment. Most of our leading towns and cities and about half of our counties are represented. All superintendents and principals in the State were requested to furnish material for the book, but many failed to do so. At this time I desire to thank all the contributors who have aided in this work. I believe our citizens will appreciate very highly the most excellent service they have rendered in thus showing what our schools are doing.

Download or read book The Polictical Ecology of Education written by David Meek and published by Radical Natures. This book was released on 2020-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agrarian social movements are at a crossroads. Although these movements have made significant strides in advancing the concept of food sovereignty, the reality is that many of their members remain engaged in environmentally degrading forms of agriculture, and the lands they farm are increasingly unproductive. Whether movement farmers will be able to remain living on the land, and dedicated to alternative agricultural practices, is a pressing question. The Political Ecology of Education examines the opportunities for and constraints on advancing food sovereignty in the 17 de Abril settlement, a community born out of a massacre of landless Brazilian workers in 1996. Based on immersive fieldwork over the course of seven years, David Meek makes the provocative argument that critical forms of food systems education are integral to agrarian social movements' survival. While the need for critical approaches is especially immediate in the Amazon, Meek's study speaks to the burgeoning attention to food systems education at various educational levels worldwide, from primary to postgraduate programs. His book calls us to rethink the politics of the possible within these pedagogies.
