Co-published by the Center for Applied LinguisticsTimely and comprehensive, this state-of-the-art overview of major issues related to heritage, community, and Native American languages in the United States, based on the work of noted authorities, draws from a variety of perspectives—the speakers; use of the languages in the home, community, and wider society; patterns of acquisition, retention, loss, and revitalization of the languages; and specific education efforts devoted to developing stronger connections with and proficiency in them. Contributions on language use, programs and instruction, and policy focus on issues that are applicable to many heritage language contexts. Offering a foundational perspective for serious students of heritage, community, and Native American languages as they are learned in the classroom, transmitted across generations in families, and used in communities, the volume provides background on the history and current status of many languages in the linguistic mosaic of U.S. society and stresses the importance of drawing on these languages as societal, community, and individual resources, while also noting their strategic importance within the context of globalization.

Introduction to current modeling methods for electromagnetic metasurfaces using the generalized sheet transition condition Numerical Methods for Modeling Metasurface with GSTC provides a systemic and deep monograph of numerical modeling approaches for metasurfaces and thoroughly explores various numerical methods, encompassing not only those in the frequency domain, but also those in the time domain that incorporate generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs). It then introduces the mainstream full-wave computational electromagnetic method, including finite-difference frequency-domain method (FDFD), method of moments (MoM), finite element method (FEM), spectral element method (SEM), finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD), and discontinue Galerkin time-domain method (DGTD). And the incorporation of GSTC with these numerical methods. Well-designed examples show that the GSTC equivalence is a quick and accurate tool for metasurface analysis. Written by a team of highly qualified authors, Numerical Methods for Modeling Metasurface with GSTC also includes information on: The basics of metasurfaces, the GSTC technique, and computational electromagnetics methodsMetasurfaces modeling, covering media homogenization techniques, GSTC theory, and the susceptibility synthesis methodMethods to simulate steady or transient responses of both planar and curved metasurfacesNumerical Methods for Modeling Metasurface with GSTC is an essential up-to-date reference on the subject for academic researchers and engineers in electromagnetics, optics, and applied physics and graduate and senior undergraduate students in related programs of study.

This book honors the impactful work of Terrence G. Wiley on advancing social justice in the areas of language diversity and language policy. It brings together a group of experienced scholars to provide an overview of research and progress in three areas: heritage and community language education, ideologies of language and literacies, and language policy. The chapters cover a wide range of formal and informal learning spaces and address language policies and practices from the national to the local levels. The international appeal of Wiley’s work is represented through the rich diversity of the contributing scholars and research contexts. With an emphasis on advancing scholarship and advocacy for language minoritized populations in the United States and around the world, this book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in the fields of language education, language policy and sociolinguistics.
