anxiety and at worst a potential career stopper. Ours is a time when
the ability to communicate in front of individuals or groups in all
types of business and other situations is becoming paramount.
Speak Without Fear offers a unique, practical process for combating the stage fright that plagues us every day in these situations.

Speak Without Fear goes
beyond the external techniques, such as how to breathe properly and
keep eye contact, to delve deeply into the reason for your performance
anxiety. It gets to the root of what's giving you the sweats so you can
identify what's in the way and work through it to communicate naturally
and comfortably before audiences of any size.
The research is indisputable: Students are less disruptive and do better academically in schools that cultivate the internal motivation of students. In Activating the Desire to Learn, veteran educator Bob Sullo shows how to apply lessons from the research on motivation in the classroom. According to the author, we are all driven to fulfill five essential needs: to connect, to be competent, to make choices, to have fun, and to be safe. Studies show that when these needs are met in schools, good behavior and high achievement tend naturally to ensue.
In this lay reader's introduction to the most spectacular and devastating of all geological events, Rolf Schick describes how earthquakes and volcanoes are related, and how they are an integral part of Earth's structure. Tracing the latest findings and theories in plate tectonics, he helps readers ask and answer the basic questions: What was it during the formation of Earth that led to these phenomena? Why do they occur in certain areas and not in others? How can we, within reason, protect ourselves from their devastation?
Linguistics: An Introduction To Language And Communication (Fifth Edition)
This popular introductory linguistics text is unique in the way various
themes are integrated throughout the book. One primary theme is the
question, "How is a speaker’s communicative intent recognized?" Rather
than treat phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and
pragmatics as completely separate fields, the text shows how they
interact in principled ways. Similarly, language variation and
acquisition are informed by results in these fields. The text provides
a sound introduction to linguistic methodology while also revealing why
people are intrinsically interested in language--the ultimate puzzle of
the human mind.
The fifth edition has been thoroughly revised. Revisions include, but
are not limited to, the addition of "selected readings" sections,
updated examples, new discussion on the creative nature of neologisms,
and the use of IPA as the primary transcription system throughout. This
edition also includes an account of the patterns of occurrence of
reduced vowels in English. An understanding of these patterns enables
the reader to write a phonemic transcription of any English word.
