Atlantic Books Fifty Thinkers Who Shaped the Modern World
Book SynopsisStephen Trombley's Fifty Thinkers Who Shaped the Modern World traces the development of modern thought through a sequence of accessible profiles of the most influential thinkers in every domain of intellectual endeavour since 1789. No major representative of post-Enlightenment thought escapes Trombley's attention: the German idealists Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel; the utilitarians Bentham and Mill; the transcendentalists Emerson and Thoreau; Kierkegaard and the existentialists; founders of new fields of inquiry such as Weber, Durkheim and C.S. Peirce; the analytic philosophers Russell, Moore, Whitehead and Wittgenstein; political leaders from Mohandas K. Gandhi to Adolf Hitler; and - last but not least - the four shapers-in-chief of our modern world: the philosopher, historian and political theorist Karl Marx; the naturalist Charles Darwin, proposer of the theory of evolution; Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis; and the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, begetter of the special and general theories of relativity and founder of post-Newtonian physics.Fifty Thinkers Who Shaped the Modern World offers a crisp analysis of their key ideas, and in some cases a re-evaluation of their importance as we proceed into the 21st century.

Bohlau Verlag Rotwelsch: Die Alte Sprache Der Gauner, Dirnen
Book SynopsisVon Aasgeier bis Zylindervergolder: die dritte Neuauflage von Roland Girtlers Standardwerk zur Gaunersprache.Bei seinen Forschungen in der Welt der Stadtstreicher, Ganoven und Dirnen hörte der Soziologe Roland Girtler seltsame Wörter, die er nicht verstand. Er ging diesen Wörtern nach und fand heraus, dass diese zur alten Gaunersprache, dem Rotwelsch, gehören, die im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum bis heute verbreitet ist. Das Rotwelsch (rot: mittelhochdeutsch für listig und welsch: falsch reden) ist eine lebende Sprache, die aus langen sprachlichen Traditionen schöpft: Neben mittelhochdeutschen und jiddischen Ausdrücken finden sich Begriffe aus romanischen, slawischen sowie vermehrt aus osteuropäischen Sprachen. Das vorliegende Buch untersucht diese Ausdrücke vor allem aus der Wiener bzw. österreichischen Gaunersprache und stellt sie in Beziehung zum gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum.

Columbia University Press Better Presentations
Book SynopsisDesigned for presenters of scholarly or data-intensive content, Better Presentations details essential strategies for developing clear, sophisticated, and visually captivating presentations. With a range of clear examples for what to do (and what not to do), Jonathan Schwabish shares the best techniques to display work and win over audiences.Trade ReviewMany smart people often become selfish idiots when they give a presentation. Jon's much-needed book is a must read for just about anyone asked to share some slides. -- Seth Godin, author of Really Bad Powerpoint Do us all a favor: read this book before your next presentation. From font size to data visualization, Schwabish guides you through creating a presentation that will both hold your audience's attention and effectively deliver information. -- Susan Dynarski, University of Michigan Modern scholars spend many hours a week watching or giving presentations; every one of us should be forced to practice the wisdom of Jonathan Schwabish's wonderful short book. I thought I had mastered this craft and imposed my mastery on others, but I learned so much from Better Presentations that from now on, I'll just say "Read the book!" -- Robert E. Hall, Stanford University Your work can shape the future only when others understand you. You can show how your ideas matter if you master the fundamentals of communication, and this book shows how to do just that. -- Carmen Simon, author of Impossible to Ignore If you are a scientist or scholar who doesn't care about designing beautiful slides for your presentations, you are doing it wrong. Elegance, clarity, and good visual composition make your messages understandable. In this concise book, Jonathan Schwabish outlines simple but essential rules of design and data visualization that anybody can benefit from. Apply them, and I guarantee that you will never again see a bored face in your audience. -- Alberto Cairo, University of Miami, author of The Truthful Art: Data, Charts, and Maps for Communication Data visualization has provided a new set of powerful tools to help analysts communicate their ideas more clearly and effectively. Jon Schwabish helped to pioneer the use of these tools in the policy community, and Better Presentations is full of valuable insights that teach his approach to others. Both new and experienced analysts would benefit immensely from reading this book. -- Douglas Elmendorf, former director of the Congressional Budget OfficeTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Part I.

Oxford University Press Fowlers Dictionary of Modern English Usage
Book SynopsisWhy literally shouldn''t be taken literally. Why Americans think home in on something is a mistake and Brits think hone in is. Is it OK to spell OK okay? What''s wrong with hence why? Was Alanis Morrisette ever ironic? Fowler''s Dictionary of Modern English Usage is the world-famous guide to English usage, loved and used by writers, editors, and anyone who values correct English since it first appeared in 1926.

Now enlarged and completely revised to reflect English usage in the 21st century, it provides a crystal-clear, authoritative picture of the English we use, while illuminating scores of usage questions old and new. International in scope, it gives in-depth coverage of both British and American English usage issues, with reference also to the English of Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, and South Africa. The thousands of authentic examples in the book vividly demonstraTrade ReviewJeremy Butterfield has given us easily the best edition of this beloved work since H. W. Fowler's original. For anyone who cares about the English language, this book will provide helpful guidance and fascinating distraction in equal measure. * Times Literary Supplement, Benjamin George Friedman *The book is impressively up to date, with entries on internet-related neologisms: hash-tag is here and selfie, and the verb to google (which Butterfield does not object to, insisting only that is should be capitalized) ... easily the best edition of this beloved work since H.W Fowler's original. For anyone who cares about the English language, this book will provide helpful guidance and fascinating distraction in equal measure. * Benjamin George Friedman, The Times Literary Supplement *Butterfield's passion for discussing language is evident throughout ...
