This volume begins with an overview of Joshua A. Fishman's extensive work and influence in the field of language planning. The other papers link language planning with weighty issues such as politics, ecology, and national development. More specific papers deal with the problems of political and social intricacies of language planning in the European Community, in India, on the African continent, in Israel, Cuba and Quebec. Two papers deal with corpus planning from a lexicological (Yiddish) and terminological point of view.

Language Planning

For those who think their beliefs are no longer valid, for all who wonder if there is any truth in religion, for anyone questioning why theology doesn't make sense—this is book for you. Here are arguments against some claims of faith. Science helps us gain new insights into what we used to believe. Recent discoveries in physics and other modern sciences have opened doors that may help you gain a new, more positive perspective on religion. For any of you who want to understand theological conundrums, here are some believable answers, including what happens when we die and whether we exist after death. A quick survey of world religions compares the beliefs of Christianity and how these present challenges lead to doubt; however, some interesting historical and scientific findings can aid you in gaining more insights which can foster your faith. These discoveries are capable of nurturing a sense of wholeness, overcoming doubts about the relevance of your faith. When that happens, your attitudes become more positive about learning what you can believe. This book helps you do that.
