The Roman statesman, orator, and author Marcus Tullius Cicero is the embodiment of a classic: his works have been read continuously from antiquity to the present, his style is considered the model for classical Latin, and his influence on Western ideas about the value of humanistic pursuits is both deep and profound. However, despite the significance of subsequent reception in ensuring his canonical status, Cicero, Greek Learning, and the Making of a Roman Classic demonstrates that no one is more responsible for Cicero's transformation into a classic than Cicero himself, and that in his literary works he laid the groundwork for the ways in which he is still remembered today. The volume presents a new way of understanding Cicero's career as an author by situating his textual production within the context of the growth of Greek classicism: the movement had begun to flourish shortly before his lifetime and he clearly grasped its benefits both for himself and for Roman literature more broadly. By strategically adapting classic texts from the Greek world, and incorporating into his adaptations the interpretations of the Hellenistic philosophers, poets, rhetoricians, and scientists who had helped enshrine those works as classics, he could envision and create texts with classical authority for a parallel Roman canon. Ranging across a variety of genres - including philosophy, rhetoric, oratory, poetry, and letters - this close study of Cicero's literary works moves from his early translation of Aratus' poetry (and its later reappearance through self-quotation) to Platonizing philosophy, Aristotelian rhetoric, Demosthenic oratory, and even a planned Greek-style letter collection. Juxtaposing incisive analysis of how Cicero consciously adopted classical Greek writers as models and predecessors with detailed accounts of the reception of those figures by Greek scholars of the Hellenistic period, the volume not only offers ground-breaking new insights into Cicero's ascension to canonical status, but also a salutary new account of Greek intellectual life and its effect on Roman literature.

She knows her journalist mother spent time in the country forty years earlier, reporting on the Swiss women’s liberation movement, but what she doesn’t know is what happened to her while she was there.

Social kommunikation handlar om hur man använder språk i praktiken. Det som med ett lingvistiskt begrepp kallas pragmatik. Svårigheter uppstår när sättet att kommunicera inte fungerar. Det här är en bok som underlättar vardagen för familjer, förskolegrupper, klasser. Den sätter fokus på sådant som ofta är bortglömt men minst lika viktigt för barn och elever i ett livslångt perspektiv som alla ord i världen. Vi behöver som föräldrar, lärare, specialpedagoger och logopeder bli bättre på att ge barn och elever stöd även i utvecklingen av den sociala kommunikationen. En grupp av logopeder i staden Portsmouth i södra England har sammanställt sina tankar och goda råd i denna handbok som är full av praktiska förslag. I ett överskådligt diagram har de samlat många olika delfärdigheter. Där kan man markera barnets starka och svaga sidor och sedan planera sina insatser. Varje delfärdighet presenteras både i teori och praktik, det vill säga konkreta förslag på hur man gör för att hjälpa barnet vidare. I många fall ges förslag för olika åldrar eller utvecklingsnivåer. Det är inte fråga om konkreta material i form av bilder och skrivna ord, utan snarare underlag för samtal och inspiration till insiktsskapande aktiviteter. Boken har blivit mycket uppskattad av lärare, logopeder och föräldrar. Boken är översatt av Astrid Frylmark och fackgranskad av leg. logoped, docent Carmela Miniscalco. Den är mycket uppskattad av såväl pedagogisk personal som logopeder, psykologer och föräldrar.
