The Secret Stories of Hidden Languages

Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing

An invitation to engage with some of today's most respected science journalists as they take readers beneath the surface to reveal the making of eleven of the best science stories. With eleven deeply reported, artfully crafted stories and annotations by some of the most thoughtful and respected science journalists working today, The Best Science Stories and How They Work is more than the sum of its impressive parts. Experience the pleasure of reading a "Best of" anthology, attending a science writing masterclass, and meeting journalists who become more than their familiar bylines. Each piece benefits from an introduction, annotations, and a conversation between the piece's author and annotator. Siri Carpenter--editor of this book and cofounder of The Open Notebook, a leading source of training and educational materials for journalists who cover science--has long considered what's behind the best writing. The pieces in this guide are drawn from a range of publications such as Scientific American, Nature, The Atlantic, and The New York Times Magazine and offer a unique perspective on how great science journalism happens: the careful structuring of a narrative, the delicate balance of skepticism and wonder, the ethical challenges of working with sources, the artistry of prose that sings. Readers will not only encounter outstanding examples of stellar storytelling, but they will also understand how these successful stories were reported and written, revealing the choices fundamental to good science journalism. Following each annotation, a Q&amp;A with the original author provides an intimate look at the decisions and challenges that shaped their work. Taken together, these pieces and annotations reveal the detailed, technical narrative work required to tell science stories. The book will delight, inspire, and equip readers with new tools to appreciate the stories that matter most.

The Best Science Stories and How They Work

Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Laos provides a comprehensive introduction to the Lao People's Democratic Republic's recent development and transformation.The handbook showcases state-of-the-field interdisciplinary research across six themes: The Basics, The Populace, Political Economy, Resources, International and Challenges. Individual chapters provide specialist and non-specialist readers with a rigorous overview of 32 fundamental topics in Lao Studies, from 'The Party: Lao People's Revolutionary Party', 'Inter-Ethnic Relations' and 'Decision Making', to 'Land', 'Lao Foreign Policy' and 'Gender.' Marking the 50th anniversary of the country's landmark revolution of 1975, the handbook explores the contested achievements of socialist rule under the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP), examines the political, economic and environmental impact of the LPRP's resource intensive strategies for growth and development, and considers the benefits and challenges of Laos's evolving geo-political and geo-economic relations with China, Vietnam, Thailand and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). While focusing on contemporary Laos, the chapters are rooted in a clear understanding of how present-day issues have emerged from Laos's extraordinary history, spanning pre-colonial Buddhist kingdoms, French colonialism, royalist nationalism and socialist revolution.Bringing together a purposely diverse collection of scholars, each an established or emerging authority in their own sub-field, the timely study takes stock of the country's development and considers what the next phase in the country's history might hold.

Jewish Lives

The first biography in more than three decades of the Austrian-born thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century"An engrossing biography [that] focuses on what is most essential and interesting in the philosopher's work and life. . . . It is rare to find a book that you can open at random and almost always find something that piques your interest."-Julian Baggini, Wall Street Journal"Very clear and lively and interesting."-Nigel Warburton, Five Books, "Best Philosophy Books of 2025"According to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), philosophy is a "battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language." This audacious idea changed the way many of its practitioners saw their subject. In the first biography of Wittgenstein in more than three decades, Anthony Gottlieb evaluates this revolutionary idea, explaining the evolution of Wittgenstein's thought and his place in the history of philosophy. &nbsp; Wittgenstein was born into an immensely rich Viennese family but yearned to live a simple life, and he gave away his inheritance. After studying with Bertrand Russell in Cambridge, he wrote his famous Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus while serving in World War I. He then took several positions as a primary-school teacher in rural Austria before returning as a fellow to Cambridge, where a cultlike following developed around him. Wittgenstein worked not only as a philosopher and schoolteacher, but also as an aeronautical engineer in Manchester and as an architect in Vienna. &nbsp; Gottlieb's meticulously researched book traces the itinerant and troubled life of Wittgenstein, the development of his influential ideas, and the Viennese intellectual milieu and family background that shaped him.

New Perspectives on Teaching Interculturality

This book takes an original and impactful approach to intercultural communication by examining lived experiences across diverse global workplaces. It offers an engaging, personal approach that moves beyond traditional academic abstractions toward dynamic relational understanding.Through thirty compelling interviews with individuals from Asia, Europe, Australia and Papua New Guinea, including First Nations participants, readers encounter intercultural communication across varied professional contexts: business management, law, architecture, mining, education, healthcare, journalism, community work and creative arts. This diversity makes the book applicable across multiple academic disciplines without requiring context adaptation. Using reflexive ethnography, the work analyzes key concepts while examining assumptions, beliefs, power structures, and language and social inequities that shape intercultural communication. Each chapter features creative exercises and "thinkboxes" where readers can critically reflect on content and construct personal narratives of their own intercultural experiences.Written in accessible, jargon-free language, this book engages with contemporary scholarship while empowering educators, students and all those interested in intercultural communication across workplace and community contexts. It is suitable for use as a textbook in intercultural communication education courses.

As media landscapes shift, new questions arise over what constitutes a 'narrative text', from graphic novels to twitter accounts, web series and computer games. Siobhan O'Flynn provides a new theoretical framework in which to discuss and analyse this continually evolving area.

Elements in Language and Power

This Element introduces the conceptualization of language weaponization, examining how dominant groups use language to control, marginalize, and harm minoritized communities. It proposes a three-phase framework- (1) stigmatization and othering, (2) dehumanization, and (3) harm-to explain how linguistic practices evolve from prejudice to violence, shaping both social structures and individual identities. Through analysis of the dynamics between dominant and minoritized groups and case studies focused on LGBTQ+ communities, the Element reveals the historical and ongoing consequences of weaponized language. Moving beyond critique, it advances a vision for transformation by positioning applied linguists as central actors in promoting societal healing. Further, storytelling is presented as a vital practice for (re)humanization and collective restoration. Ultimately, this Element invites readers to critically examine how language constructs power and to imagine its potential as a force for healing, peace, and goodness across diverse societies.
