At the heart of every Spanish-speaking community, the plaza is a place for people to come together and connect. Inspired by this metaphor, PLAZAS: LUGAR DE ENCUENTROS draws students into the study of Spanish by creating a meeting place in every classroom. Each chapter of this successful beginning Spanish program unites the latest in language research with the reality of students and classrooms today, providing opportunities for real-life communication using the rich and colorful threads of Spanish-speaking cultures. With each chapter students are transported to a Spanish-speaking country or region for an authentic, personalized cultural language-learning experience. With this approach, culture is embedded into every page of PLAZAS, giving your students an appreciation of different cultural practices and perspectives. This Third Edition features the increased use of visuals throughout to enhance authenticity, aid in comprehension, address the different learning styles of today's students, and ultimately promote acquisition of the language.

Plazas: Lugar de encuentros

Plazas is based on the premise that true, authentic communication takes place where language and culture meet. In the real world, plazas are about meeting and connecting and are at the very heart of every Spanish-Speaking city. Likewise, Plazas is designed to bring you and your students together to communicate and interact. Invoking the metaphor of the plaza, Plazas intends to be a meeting place, a lugar de encuentro, for the Spanishspeaking world both in and outside of the classroom.

Plazas

"One year shy of her fiftieth wedding anniversary, Dee Hershberger was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Her husband, Bob, serving as her primary caregiver, kept a journal the following four and a half years. Diary of an Alzheimer's Caregiver provides an unflinchingly honest and heartbreaking account of what the couple went through. During the first two and a half years, Dee gradually lost short-term memory but maintained most physical and social abilities. Over the last two years she lost these abilities, most words, and long-term memory. She also became incontinent, suffered from undetected illnesses, and experienced psychotic episodes and uncontrollable, violent behavior. This is a brutally raw look at what it is like to lose a loved one to Alzheimer's, including what the disease does to the patient and the effects it has on loved ones and caregivers. This personal view into caring for a spouse with Alzheimer's will help readers understand the physical, emotional, and financial consequences of the disease, as well as provide support, advice, and hope to anyone in the same situation"--
