"Different Tongues" (Why Children Code Switch?) is a valuable book that gives us answers to endless questions that we have as parents who wish to raise bilingual children: Will teaching the child two languages end up with the child not speaking any language clearly? What role do parents play in controlling their children's code switching? When children switch languages when speaking, should this be seen as meaningful, insightful or not to be tolerated? Does where I live have an impact on how my children code switch?; The father is the only one who speaks the minority language, is this enough input for the child to be brought up bilingually.
These questions and many others that parents are faced with are discussed in this book. Actually, "Different Tongues (Why Children Code Switch?)" proved quite valuable to me when I began my own family. I was an Anglophone married to a French Quebecer and I lived in Quebec Canada, which is French. I was the only English speaking person in my children's lives for the first five years of their lives, so I was not sure if bilingualism was feasible for our family since I spoke the minority language. In fact, this book has enabled me to understand how children learn two languages at the same time; how children may mix their languages in the early years, but soon after this stage, the child begins to code switch, within his two languages, in meaningful ways.
"Different Tongues (Why Children Code Switch?)" gives a new perspective on children's code switching in today's world. In the past, it was seen as inherently bad, whereas in this book, it shows how a child can now use code switching to more clearly transmit his language, as a contextualization tactic; and this is now seen as a clear advantage that the child possesses as compared to others who are not bilingual. In fact, this "advantage" is definitely a paradigm shift for today's parents when it comes to their children's code switching.

Patrick McCarthy has contributed to the literature on bilingual development by providing an excellent overview of issues surrounding code-switching in young children.
As his book points out, code-switching is normal behavior in children exposed to two or more languages, as it is in adults. Parents and teachers will find useful information about children's bilingual development in this book.

Is evil a power or a negation without power? Is darkness substantial or is there substance only in light against which darkness cannot stand? Research by Rolf Witzsche. The book is designed to juxtapose the arrogant impositions of the world's imperial systems and the demands of their rulers, which have no principle to support their claim, against the substance of the principles of our humanity that in historic times have repeatedly brought the light of a renaissance to the dark ages of suffering and subjugation. The book explores our need and our potential for a profound new renaissance in our modern age. The research book presented here is Volume 4 of the research series, Discovering Infinity. The series was created over 15 years, beginning in the late-1980s, based in some degree on the work of Mary Baker Eddy and Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr..
