The Essential Gaelic (Scottish)-English Dictionary

In the present volume the aim has been to present as rich a cross-section of the Gaelic language as possible in the space available, giving due weight both to the new contexts of our times and to the riches of the past, as well as to both colloquial and more formal language.

The registers, styles and contexts represented in the dictionary include: vulgar, familiar, colloquial, formal and traditional words and expressions; examples drawn from modem poetry, modem and traditional song (an area that attracts many learners to the language), proverbs and sayings and, occasionally, placenames; the more common vocabulary of administration, politics and government, journalism and information technology also figures here.

The Essential English-Gaelic (Scottish) Dictionary:


This volume complements the same compiler's Essential Gaelic-English Dictionary, published by Birlinn in 2001. The intention has been to make available, in a format that is pleasant to handle, a generous proportion of "essential" or core Gaelic. For this reason much of the material given is common to the two volumes, and can thus be accessed from the starting point of either English or Gaelic.

Terence Gargiulo's 'breakthrough' communications and storytelling are amply demonstrated with dozens of corporate examples. And the best part? Gargiulo shows us, step by step, how to create this storytelling communication magic in our own organizations. The competencies assessed by the instrument represent the nine essential communication behaviors that need to be developed and cultivated in all of today’s leaders and managers: Modeling, Telling, Selecting, Indexing, Synthesizing, Reflecting, Eliciting, Listening and Observing.

Once Upon a Time will show you how to develop exceptional communication skills, and it will serve as an invaluable resource for helping others do the same. Stories are a natural part of how we communicate. Yet many of us are unaware of the different ways we use stories. This book will take the intuitive aspects of communicating through stories and break it down into repeatable practices and essential competencies. The story-based activities in the second half of the book will give you powerful, easy to lead, structured, experiential exercises that can be used in a variety of settings and for lots of different purposes that go beyond training.

In 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success, the founder of Investor's Business Daily and author of How to Make Money in Stocks, William O'Neil, distills his 40 years of experience, study, and analysis of the market into a series of lessons about how to buy and sell stocks. O'Neil is neither a pure fundamentalist nor a technician--instead, he advocates blending both approaches, applying fundamental analysis to identifying the best companies and technical analysis to understanding the price actions of those stocks. The lessons cover everything from protecting your investment account (always cut your losses at 8 percent of the purchase price) and basic chart reading (identifying market tops and bottoms) to understanding relative price strength and tips on building a concentrated portfolio. While not absolutely necessary, it helps to have a copy of Investor's Business Daily handy: these lessons were drawn from a series that O'Neil wrote, which frequently mention features unique to that newspaper. 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success is a easy-to-read, commonsense guide to stock picking that both novices and seasoned investors should find extremely useful. --Harry C. Edwards
