This volume deals with linguistic purism in its many realizations. In particular, the articles look at the relationship of purism to historical prescriptivism (e.g. the influence of grammarians in the 17th and 18th centuries), to nationhood (e. g. the instrumentalising of purism in the standardisation of Afrikaans or Luxembourgish), to modern society (e. g. the existence of puristic tendencies in computer chatrooms), to folk linguistics (e. g. lay perceptions of different varieties of English), and to academic linguistics (e. g. the presence of puristic notions in the historiography of German or English).

The first book to provide direct evidence for the effectiveness of traditional and reform-oriented teaching methods, Experiencing School Mathematics reports on careful and extensive case studies of two schools that taught mathematics in totally different ways. Three hundred students were followed over three years, providing an unusual and important range of data, including observations, interviews, questionnaires, and assessments, to show the ways students' beliefs and understandings were shaped by the different approaches to mathematics teaching. The interviews that are reproduced in the book give compelling insights into what it meant to be a student in the classrooms of the two schools.
