An Introduction to Sociolinguistics

Society and Identity

This is a definitive introductory text to modern sociolinguistics that looks at the study of language and society through the concept of identity.

Throughout, the authors offer keen insight into all of the topics, issues and methods that students of language and society will need to understand. The chapters contain a range of pedagogical features, including key terms, study questions, chapter summaries and further reading.

Power of the Talking Stick

Indigenous Politics and the World Ecological Crisis

The Power of the Talking Stick makes the case that, reaching back to the beginning of the nation-state and all through the current period of corporate-led globalisation, our governments and social institutions have been engaged in activities that will ultimately extinguish the world's ecological life support systems. This book offers an alternative, listening to indigenous leaders and others whose voices often go unheard in the din of contemporary culture. Sharon Ridgeway and Peter Jacques offer a stark warning, but their insights are firmly grounded in traditional knowledge and provide a way to see past the politics and rescue the earth. An important resource for climate activists, students and academics.

Strategic Management for Nonprofit Organizations

Theory and Cases

Nonprofit organizations in the U.S. earn more than $100 billion annually, and number over a million different organizations. They face increasing competition for donor's dollars and many of the issues they confront are similar to those confronted by for-profit organizations. Strategic Management for Nonprofit Organizations applies powerful concepts of strategic management developed originally in the for-profit sector to the management of nonprofits. It describes the preparation of a strategic plan consistent with the resources available; it analyzes the operational tasks in executing the plan; and describes the ways in which nonprofits need to change in order to remain competitive. The book draws clear distinctions between the different challenges encountered by nonprofits operating in different industries.

last several decades, the management of nonprofit organizations has become an
increasingly rich terrain for academic work in the social sciences. As our
knowledge of these organizations has deepened, so has our sense of both the
applicability of management principles developed in the forprofit sector and the
limitations of those principles for nonprofit management. At the same time, we
have seen managers in the nonprofit sector reaching out for new ideas to
