When Books Break the Bank
The prices for textbooks are high enough, and publishers have added the more recent practice of bundling texts with guides or CD-ROMs, and the net result is a cost to students far out of proportion to the value they receive. It won't be long before the internet becomes a genuine alternative, at which point we will hear a collecting wail from the publishing sector. More...
The E-book vs the Ordinary Book
The latest IFETS discussion paper is out and the criticism has already started, one writer commenting - accurately - that the article is nothing more than a series of unsubstantiated assertions. More...
In the context of Arabic and Semitic, it is only natural to treat case and mood under one umbrella: Arab grammarians ingenuously devised the same terms for the independent case and the independent mood on the one hand, and for the dependent case and the dependent mood, respectively. Still, the main focus of these proceedings lies on case in Semitic and Afroasiatic, wherever relevant. Thereby, taking up controversial data, issues, arguments and discussion is indispensable.
The volume contains contributions covering data mainly from Akkadian, Hebrew, Arabic, Ethio-Semitic, Berber, and selected Cushitic and Omotic languages. One paper investigates the diachronic development of case and the mimation in Akkadian, another discusses a number of accepted as well as a number of controversial residues of case in Biblical Hebrew and proposes suggestions of reanalysis in this context. A critical reading of chapter 17 of al-Zaǧǧāǧī’s ʾĪḍāḥ is offered as well as a summary and further development of recent discussion on the scenario of case in historical varieties of Arabic. The discussion about “The Case for Proto-Semitic and Proto-Arabic Case” is followed up. Furthermore, the intricacies of delimitating the concepts of case and state in Berber are discussed as well as the meaningfulness of applying the opposition “nominative” vs. “absolutive”, which is widely acknowledged to be valid in a broader Afroasiatic perspective, to Semitic. The final paper rounds up the volume with some more general deliberations on the verbal system in Semitic, thereby proposing a four-stage model.

The book begins with a Prologue which provides an introduction and sets the scene for the ideas introduced in subsequent chapters.

The chapter provides some notable examples of how established industries were supplanted by what Schumpeter called creative destruction. It also accounts for how higher education worldwide is being transformed through new technologies and entrepreneurial activities. More...
The textbook has been declared dead many times over. Progressive educator John Dewey decried the “text-book fetish” back in the 1890s. Former U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan wished out loud for textbooks to become obsolete. Articles on the demise of textbooks regularly appear with each new school year.
