Fox--the beloved and popular trickster character featured in the Geisel Award-winning books Fox Has a Problem, Fox at Night, and Fox the Tiger--is on the move! But Fox knows that life is about the journey, not the destination, and if his untraditional transportation methods get him in a bit of trouble, he can always try again tomorrow.

Tabor's award-winning Fox series, making it a perfect choice for emerging readers and their caretakers. The Fox series, which is comprised of both picture books and beginning readers, has received thr

How the legacy of the Civil War--as presented by writers, poets, and artists of the time--has shaped American visions of democracy In Haunted by the Civil War, Shirley Samuels explores the work of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others to investigate the long cultural shadow of America's cataclysmic sundering. Juxtaposing these texts with images--ranging from paintings by Winslow Homer to newspaper and magazine illustrations of political controversies--Samuels argues that the Civil War still haunts our attitudes toward democracy. The recent toppling of Confederate monuments, the continuing protests over racial and sexual discrimination, immigration, and Indigenous land rights: each of these forms part of the war's legacy. Examining the fraught deliberations about an ideal American democracy in the early republic, Samuels turns to the language of sensation in the poetry of Melville, Dickinson, and Whitman alongside Lincol

根據劍橋字典 (Cambridge Dictionary)，語言係指一連串聲音（頻率）所構成的訊息，經由接收者的大腦轉譯為有意義的指令或資料。語言可以分成兩種，分別為人類自然發展而來的自然語言 (Natural Language)，以及人類因需要開發指令或其他需要而創造的人工語言 (Constructed Language)。本書主要著重於自然語言。語言是人類生活中人際交往的工具，不僅可以用來傳達意見和表示感情，也能夠作為適應環境及解決問題時幫助思考的工具。典型的一般人（含兒童、青少年和成人）通常在自然的環境中就可以順利地獲得、產生和理解聲音、單詞、句子和慣例的規則，以便在各種社會情境中適當地使用它們。不過有些人卻會由於生物的成因（有關中樞神經系統或身體內其他系統的功能及結構問題），或者是環境的成因（如貧窮、嚴重的過敏症、耳朵重複發炎干擾到聽力、濫用聲音或強調產生說話所涉及的肌肉、忽視或虐待），而形成異常或障礙。為求有效的治療或介入，首要的任務就是實施診斷和評估，試著找出可能造成言語–語言遲緩、異常或障礙的原因，然後再計畫地進行語言治療介入，以求恢復正常的言語–語言功能。是故，筆者們特別搜羅國內外有關言語–語言障礙評估的相關文章、叢書和期刊論文，撰寫《言語–語言障礙評估：臨床篩檢與檢查》專書，藉以提供職前語言治療師培育、現場語言治療師、一般學生、家長和社會人士能夠對於言語–語言障礙評估有個概括性的認識和理解。基本上，全書分成「言語–語言障礙評估的基礎」和「異常∕障礙類型之言語–語言障礙評估」等兩大類，共計分為 11 章來探究。其中「言語–語言障礙評估的基礎」包含：第 1 章緒論（張世彗）；第 2 章要探討語言治療師服務傳遞的諮商（張世彗）；第 3 章則簡要敘述言語與語言評估之心理計量分析（張世彗）。「異常∕障礙類型之言語–語言障礙評估」則包括：第 4 章言語相關之口腔顏面部評估（陳雅資、張世彗）、第 5 章兒童及成人聽力篩檢（鄧菊秀、劉樹玉）、第 6 章兒童語言障礙之評估（邱怡婷）、第 7 章構音和音韻異常之評估（張世彗）、第 8 章自閉症類群障礙之言語和語言評估（張世彗）、第 9 章吞嚥障礙的評估（巴甫仁、吳家欣）、第 10 章運動言語障礙之評估（陳雅資），以及第 11 章語暢異常之評估（楊淑蘭）等。本書得以順利付梓，要特別感謝合記圖書出版社的大力地支
