The Fighter of Auschwitz: The incredible true story of Leen Sanders who boxed to help others survive
**A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**‘He had the dream again last night… He taps the gloves of his unbeaten Polish opponent. There are rumours that the loser will be sent to the gas chamber.’
In 1943, the Dutch champion boxer, Leen Sanders, was sent to Auschwitz. His wife and children were put to death while he was sent ‘to the left’ with the others who were fit enough for labour. Recognised by an SS officer, he was earmarked for a ‘privileged’ post in the kitchens in exchange for weekly boxing matches for the entertainment of the Nazi guards. From there, he enacted his resistance to their limitless cruelty.
With great risk and danger to his own life, Leen stole, concealed and smuggled food and clothing from SS nursing units for years to alleviate the unbearable suffering of the prisoners in need. He also regularly supplied extra food to the Dutch women in Dr. Mengele’s experiment, Block 10. To his fellow Jews in the camp, he acted as a rescuer, leader and role model, defending them even on their bitter death march to Dachau towards the end of the war.
A story of astonishing resilience and compassion, The Fighter of Auschwitz is a testament to the endurance of humanity in the face of extraordinary evil.

So, for the past three years the Telegraph has run a weekly feature inviting members of the public to send in photographs of menus, health and safety warnings, road signs, adverts, headlines and personals columns – anything in which the language has gone egregiously, hilariously and, usually, unintentionally wrong.
Entitled Sign Language, the published selection of the very best images has become one of the newspaper’s most popular features, attracting over 300,000 online visitors every week and attracting thousands of submissions from around the world.
Now, we present the very best of Sign Language – both seen and unseen – and offer a timely warning about the imperilled state of modern English.

Learning British Sign Language : British Sign Language
British Sign Language (BSL) is used in the United
Kingdom. The number of Deaf people in the UK using
BSL has been put at about 50,000; there are in addition many more hearing people who use BSL to
communicate with Deaf users.
Sign languages are not related to spoken languages and BSL is completely different, for example, from
American Sign Language.
Sign language conveys meaning through the use of
space and movement of the hands, body, face and
head.
We know that many hearing people are keen to learn
BSL (it is a very popular evening class course, for
example). But there is a lack of good teaching materials written in English for hearing learners of BSL, which this course fills.Read more

Evaluative Constructions in Italian Sign Language (LIS): A Multi-Theoretical Analysis (Sign Languages and Deaf Communities [SLDC] Book 17)
The domain of evaluative morphology is vast and complex, as it requires the combination of morphological, semantic and pragmatic information to be understood. Nevertheless, cross-linguistic studies on spoken languages show that languages share some patterns in the way they encode evaluative features. It follows that investigating evaluative morphology in sign languages (SLs) can enrich the literature and offer new insights. This book provides descriptive and theoretical contributions by considering Italian Sign Language (LIS) as empirical ground of investigation. At the descriptive level, the analysis of corpus and elicited data improves the description of morphological processes in LIS, as well as typological studies on evaluative morphology by adding the patterns of a visuo-gestural language. At the theoretical level, the study shows the benefit of combining different approaches (Generative Linguistics, Linguistic Typology, Cognitive Linguistics) for the exploration of evaluative constructions in SLs, as it allows to identify both modality-specific and modality-independent properties.
In sum, this book encourages the readers to rely on different data types, analyses and theoretical perspectives to investigate linguistic phenomena in SLs.Read more

Sign Language and Linguistic Universals
Sign languages are of great interest to linguists, because while they are the product of the same brain, their physical transmission differs greatly from that of spoken languages. In this 2006 study, Wendy Sandler and Diane Lillo-Martin compare sign languages with spoken languages, in order to seek the universal properties they share. Drawing on general linguistic theory, they describe and analyze sign language structure, showing linguistic universals in the phonology, morphology, and syntax of sign language, while also revealing non-universal aspects of its structure that must be attributed to its physical transmission system. No prior background in sign language linguistics is assumed, and numerous pictures are provided to make descriptions of signs and facial expressions accessible to readers. Engaging and informative, Sign Language and Linguistic Universals will be invaluable to linguists, psychologists, and all those interested in sign languages, linguistic theory and the universal properties of human languages.Read more

Baby Sign Language Made Easy – How to Teach Baby 25 Basic Baby Sign Language
Baby Sign Language Made Easy – How to Teach Baby 25 Basic Baby Sign LanguageYou can communicate with your infant even if he or she isn’t talking yet. Here’s how to use everyday baby signs to teach infant sign language.
We all hate seeing our children sad, but when your child is too little to communicate, it can be difficult to know exactly what he or she wants. In recent years, an increasing number of parents have turned to baby sign language to assist their preverbal children communicate.
Baby sign language is a series of simple hand motions (also known as signs) that correlate to words you use with your baby on a daily basis. The infant signs are sometimes, but not always, the same as those used in American Sign Language.
There are various methods for teaching infant sign language (several schools and publications are available), but in general, you can teach baby by uttering a word, such as “milk,” while simultaneously making the sign, and then giving baby the milk. The importance of repetition—as well as patience—can’t be overstated. Keep in mind that your baby won’t begin creating signs on her own until she’s around 6 to 9 months old.
You’ll need to determine which baby signals to teach first when you’re ready to start teaching baby sign language. Consider the terms you and your family use most frequently on a daily basis. Do you require assistance? We’ve demonstrated how to teach 25 common baby signs in this book.

How to Sign with Babies with Terry the Monkey: British Sign Language for children
Learn how to sign with your baby with the latest title in the popular Terry the Monkey series of sign language books for children. Signs in this book include everything your baby will need in order to communicate their needs and share their observations of the world around them. As Joe Jacobs explains, ‘Most babies say their first words at around 12 months’ old, but babies are able to sign from as young as 7 months’ old. The muscles required for speech, in the throat and larynx, take longer to develop than the hand and arm muscles needed to sign. My own children began signing at around 8 months’ old. Signing can significantly reduce frustration and gives you an insight into your baby’s thoughts months before they can speak.’This book contains all the signs you will need to teach your baby how to communicate their needs and observations, including milk, mummy, daddy, more, hug, I love you, park, swings, toys, funny, play, brother, sister, wash hands, please, sleep, bed, bath, coat, hat and many more. The Terry the Monkey books have featured in Little London magazine and Familes, the magazine of the National Deaf Children’s Society, as well as limpingchicken.com, the world’s most popular deaf blog. Joe’s work has been praised by former children’s laureate Julia Donaldson, BBC’s Steve Backshall and Oscar winner and deafness awareness campaigner Rachel Shenton. This book contains tips on signing and a list of the benefits of signing with babies. A great gift for any new parent.Read more
