Learning Foreign and Second Languages: Perspectives in Research and Scholarship by Heidi Byrnes, ISBN 0873528018
This inaugural volume in the MLA series Teaching Languages, Literatures, and Cultures provides an overview of second language acquisition research. Is language a system of linguistic forms to be acquired by the study of grammar, or is language a means of communication, where students learn not by studying rules but by engaging straightaway in the use of language to convey meanings? Which approach is better in the classroom? The vibrant field of second language acquisition research is now carefully examining questions like these.
Written for a nonspecialized audience -- for readers who share an interest in foreign language teaching and learning -- Learning Foreign and Second Languages addresses both theory and methodology. Administrators, department chairs, curriculum and materials developers, teachers, and graduate students will find this collection of essays enlightening.

The Dunlap Cabinet Makers: A Tradition in Craftmanship
The Dunlaps of New Hampshire began making fine furniture in the mid-1700s. Their distinctive tables, chests, chairs, and clockcases have their origins in the traditions that the Scots-Irish brought to the New World. Most Dunlap works are now in museums where they are studied by scholars, but thanks to the book's detailed scaled drawings and Donald Dunlap's construction notes, woodworkers can undertake the challenging proportions and ornament practiced by the Dunlaps. The 14 projects range from a simple knife box to an intricate tall clock and include a one-drawer stand, tea table, and desk.

Shutter Island
In 1954 on a remote island in Massachusetts Bay, a mental patient has escaped from Ashecliffe Hospital. Since there is no way off the island, logic dictates that she must be hiding somewhere, and the hospital calls in US Marshalls Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule to flush her out. But when they arrive, they find that there is more going on than a simple escape, and a lot of it is in their own heads--and an approaching storm isn't going to make things easier....
