What is Violent Communication? If "violent" means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate—judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who's "good/bad" or what's "right/wrong" with people—could indeed be called "violent communication." What is Nonviolent Communication? Nonviolent Communication is the integration of four things: Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all Means of influence: sharing "power with others" rather than using "power over others" Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three things: Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit

Bestselling Author Jen Wilkin Explores the Beauty of Our Limitations and Our Limitless GodHuman beings were created to reflect the image of God—but only to a limited extent. Although we share important attributes with God (love, mercy, compassion, etc.), there are other qualities that only God possesses, such as unlimited power, knowledge, and authority. At the root of all sin is our rebellious desire to be like God in such ways—a desire that first manifested itself in the garden of Eden. In None Like Him, Jen Wilkin leads us on a journey to discover 10 ways God is different from us—and why that's a good thing. In the process, she highlights the joy of seeing our limited selves in relation to a limitless God, and how such a realization frees us from striving to be more than we were created to be.- Explores 10 Distinct Attributes of God: Explains why our limits are a good thing- Practical: Includes verses for meditation and reflection questions at the end of each chapter- Written and read by Jen Wilkin: Author of the bestselling book Women of the Word

Small-town Louisiana, 1935. When Eugene was twelve, a girl from town disappeared. Everyone said the gators must have got her when she strayed too near the bayou. No foul play, just a terrible accident. But Eugene can't shake the conviction that Mary Beth's death had something to do with the man who used to haunt her—the man no one else could see. Now, nearly two decades later, there are more dangerous things than gators in Chanlarivyè. People are disappearing again, and this time, no one can find the bodies. As the town's unease grows, charismatic fugitive Johnny Walker arrives on the scene, shedding bullet casings and stolen bank notes in his wake. He tangles himself up in Eugene's life and awakens memories Eugene thought he had laid to rest years ago. Memories of the mysterious man who followed Eugene into his dreams, and memories of the bayou—and of the horrifying entity that lurks beneath the water's surface, slowly seeping into the town like a stain. The Bayou is a queer southern gothic horror novella of approximately 33,000 words.

'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray 'She came forward, the outlines of her figure blurred in the half-light. She came forward like a film star, or rather like the ideal woman in an adolescent's dream. 'I gather you wish to talk to me, Inspector . . . but first of all please sit down . . .' Her accent was more pronounced than Carl's. Her voice sang, dropping on the last syllable of the longer words.' Maigret has been interrogating Carl Andersen for seventeen hours without a confession. He's either innocent or a very good liar. So why was the body of a diamond merchant found at his isolated mansion? Why is his sister always shut away in her room? And why does everyone at Three Widows Crossroads have something to hide? This novel has been published in previous translations as Maigret at the Crossroads and The Crossroad Murders. 'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories' Guardian 'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent

The present grammar is based on empirical data collected over more than three decades. It investigates the phonology and morphosyntax of Jordanian Arabic, with a focus on the traditional sedentary varieties of Central and Northern Jordan, locally known as Balgawi and Horani. Although theory-neutral, the description is typologically informed and should be accessible to anyone broadly acquainted with linguistics. The structure of the grammar follows the traditional division between phonology, morphology and syntax. The phonology chapter discusses both segmental and suprasegmental features. The morphology section investigates the structure of the major word classes, both open and closed, as well as minor classes such as interjections, discourse markers and other uninflected particles. The chapter on syntax explores the internal structure of noun and verb phrases and the syntax of simple and complex clauses as well as transversal phenomena such as agreement, negation and information structure. The book also includes a section devoted to the social dialectology of Jordan, and a discussion of the data upon which the grammar is based and three transcribed and translated texts belonging to the traditional dialect.

Now in its fifth edition, Diffusion of Innovations is a classic work on the spread of new ideas. In this renowned book, Everett M. Rogers, professor and chair of the Department of Communication & Journalism at the University of New Mexico, explains how new ideas spread via communication channels over time. Such innovations are initially perceived as uncertain and even risky. To overcome this uncertainty, most people seek out others like themselves who have already adopted the new idea. Thus the diffusion process consists of a few individuals who first adopt an innovation, then spread the word among their circle of acquaintances—a process which typically takes months or years. But there are exceptions: use of the Internet in the 1990s, for example, may have spread more rapidly than any other innovation in the history of humankind. Furthermore, the Internet is changing the very nature of diffusion by decreasing the importance of physical distance between people. The fifth edition addresses the spread of the Internet, and how it has transformed the way human beings communicate and adopt new ideas.

This textbook provides a comprehensive scholarly introduction to Classical Chinese and its texts. Classical Chinese is the language of Confucius and Mencius and their contemporaries, who wrote the seminal texts of Chinese philosophy more than 2,000 years ago. Although it was used as a living language for only a relatively short time, it was the foundation of Chinese education throughout the Imperial age, and formed the basis of a literary tradition that continues to the present day. This book offers students all the necessary tools to read, understand, and analyse Classical Chinese texts, including: step-by-step clearly illustrated descriptions of syntactic features; core vocabulary lists; introductions to relevant historical and cultural topics; selected readings from classical literature with original commentaries and in-depth explanations; introductions to dictionaries and other reference works on the study of ancient China; and a guide to philological methods used in the critical analysis of Classical Chinese texts. The extensive glossary provides phonological reconstructions, word classes, English translations, and citations to illustrate usage, while the up-to-date bibliography serves as a valuable starting point for further research.

Some deliveries come with tracking. This one comes with feelings. The box turns up outside Catherine's flat one evening, enormous and bearing only her name. Inside is an expensive pink rabbit vibrator and a label containing one word: *Enjoy.* Catherine takes the hint and prepares for an extensive bathtub session. But when she pays far more attention to the toy than the packaging that delivered it, the box gets jealous. It follows her from room to room. It watches. It communicates through snarky labels. And it can provide whatever its recipient craves-even the things she would never admit to wanting. But the box has developed a craving of its own: Catherine. When it opens its flaps and invites her inside, Catherine discovers that the best part of a special delivery might be the box it came in. No returns. No refunds. Lingerie included. A filthy, funny sentient-object romance featuring voyeurism, an exceptionally talented rabbit vibrator, packing-tape restraints, bubble-wrap sensory play, one possessive cardboard box and a cat determined to sit in the middle of everything.

A calm, immersive way for children to learn European Portuguese through reading stories. The Apartment: Bilingual European Portuguese-English Stories for Kids is the first book in a carefully designed 52-story reading system for children who want to develop real fluency in European Portuguese through natural storytelling, not memorisation or grammar drills. Set in a friendly neighbourhood in Portugal-sunlit courtyards, narrow cobbled streets, small bakeries filled with the smell of fresh bread, apartments where neighbours know one another by name, and peaceful mornings that begin with coffee and the sound of church bells-each story follows the same small community as a new resident slowly finds his place among them. At B2 level, the language becomes more natural, literary, and emotionally rich. Sentences are longer and more varied, but meaning remains clear through context, repetition, and rhythm. This book follows a structured B2 progression across four connected stories. Across these stories, the setting, characters, and emotional world gradually deepen while the language gently increases in complexity. Readers encounter more nuanced descriptions, richer dialogue, and subtle themes of belonging, memory, and community. Key vocabulary is carefully recycled throughout the book, so learners repeatedly meet important words and expressions in new and meaningful contexts until they become familiar and natural. New vocabulary is introduced slowly and intentionally, with meaning carried through situation, atmosphere, and emotional connection rather than explanation. Instead of teaching grammar explicitly, the series encourages learners to absorb European Portuguese through immersion in story, place, and everyday life-where language is discovered naturally, one conversation, one street, and one small moment at a time. Perfect for intermediate learners moving into upper-intermediate European Portuguese.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Named a "Must-Read" by TODAY, Us Weekly, Bustle, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly, Southern Living, Book Riot, Woman's Day, The Toronto Star, and more! For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetime—maybe even love—in this romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling authors of Love and Other Words. Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin: from inexplicable mishaps to a recent layoff, her life seems to be almost comically jinxed. By contrast, her sister Ami is an eternal champion...she even managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a slew of contests. Unfortunately for Olive, the only thing worse than constant bad luck is having to spend the wedding day with the best man (and her nemesis), Ethan Thomas. Olive braces herself for wedding hell, determined to put on a brave face, but when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning, the only people who aren't affected are Olive and Ethan. Suddenly there's a free honeymoon up for grabs, and Olive will be damned if Ethan gets to enjoy paradise solo. Agreeing to a temporary truce, the pair head for Maui. After all, ten days of bliss is worth having to assume the role of loving newlyweds, right? But the weird thing is...Olive doesn't mind playing pretend. In fact, the more she pretends to be the luckiest woman alive, the more it feels like she might be. With Christina Lauren's "uniquely hilarious and touching voice" (Entertainment Weekly), The Unhoneymooners is a romance for anyone who has ever felt unlucky in love.

Within an entry words are ordered alphabetically, though different senses are also often distinguished with multiple alphabetic runs. The structure of entries gives headword, part of speech, and a gloss in English that helps to establish the semantic domain for the words which follow. A number of register labels are given to help specify the usage of the words which follow them. The number of entries appearing as paragraphs in the thesaurus is nearly 12,000.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Acclaimed developmental psychologist David Yeager reveals the new science of motivating young people ages ten through twenty-five in this groundbreaking book that is a must-read for managers, parents, educators, coaches, and mentors everywhere. "Ambitious and revelatory...10 to 25 offers baffled adults new approaches—and possibly new hope—during some of their families' most difficult years." —The Wall Street Journal "Required reading for anyone who aspires to be a wise influence on the young people they care about." —Angela Duckworth "One of the most fascinating and important books of the past decade...It will change millions of lives." —Carol Dweck "This engaging, data-driven book is filled with practical insights." —Adam Grant Imagine a world in which Gen Xers, millennials, and boomers interact with young people in ways that leave them feeling inspired, enthusiastic, and ready to contribute—rather than disengaged, outraged, or overwhelmed. That world may be closer than you think. In this book based on cutting edge research, psychologist David Yeager explains how to stop fearing young people's brains and hormones and start harnessing them. Neuroscientists have discovered that around age ten, puberty spurs the brain to crave socially rewarding experiences, such as pride, admiration, and respect, and to become highly averse to social pain, such as humiliation or shame. As a result, young people are subtly reading between the lines of everything we say, trying to interpret the hidden implications of our words to find out if we are disrespecting or honoring them. Surprisingly, this sensitivity to status and respect continues into the mid-twenties. 10 to 25 helps adults develop an ear for the difference between the right and wrong way to respect young people and avoid frustrating patterns of miscommunication and conflict. Yeager explains how to adopt what he terms the mentor mindset, which is a leadership style that's attuned to young people's need for status and respect. Anyone can adopt the mentor mindset by following a few highly effective and easy-to-learn practices such as validating young people's perspectives (rather than dismissing them), asking them questions (rather than telling them what to do), being transparent about your beliefs and goals (rather than assuming that they will accurately guess your thoughts), and holding them to high standards (rather than coddling them). Yeager's scientific experiments have shown these practices reduce a wide variety of behavior problems, including school dropout, unhealthy eating, stress, purposelessness, mental health problems, and more. One of the biggest misconceptions about mentoring is that it takes up too much time. On the contrary, those who use the mentor mindset end up with more time. Through back-and-forth conversations, young people feel empowered, and managers can transfer responsibility to them. Young people in this age group are poised to learn, grow, and accomplish incredible things—if only we can tap into the basic neurobiological systems that drive their motivation and behavior. An essential read for anyone who interacts with young people, 10 to 25 is a groundbreaking book that offers long-term strategies to help nurture well-adjusted, independent, accomplished young people who contribute to society in positive ways—all while making our own lives easier.

Build Vocabulary. Hear the Connections. Speak Naturally. English Vocabulary Builder B1.1: Connections is Book 6 in the English Vocabulary Builder - Interlinear Pronunciation Edition and begins the intermediate stage. It combines 780 essential words with grammar, pronunciation, and connected speech so you learn not only what words mean, but how they actually sound in real conversation. Every reading appears in three layers: careful interlinear pronunciation, normal English spelling, and connected speech. Easy respelling uses ordinary letters, with CAPITALS for stress and hyphens for syllables. Meanings appear separately with definitions and examples. What Makes Book 6 Different? Books 2-5 taught sounds to join . Book 6 begins the next stage: sounds start to change one another . The central skill is assimilation in natural spoken English. Palatalization: did you → DI-juh, don't you → DOHN-chuh, miss you → MI-shoo Nasal assimilation: ten pounds → tem-POWNDZ, in case → ing-KAYS Strong and weak forms: keep important words strong while function words stay weak in longer sentences These changes explain why familiar words can seem to disappear in fast speech. Once you know what to listen for, natural conversation becomes easier to recognize and produce. Vocabulary, Grammar, and Real Communication Across 18 chapters , you build intermediate vocabulary for relationships, family, emotions, community, media, news, the internet, entertainment, opinions, discussion, storytelling, and reporting. You also develop practical B1 grammar: Defining relative clauses with who, which, that, where, and whose Past continuous and past perfect for richer storytelling The second conditional for unreal and hypothetical situations Introductory reported speech Should, ought to, might, may, and could for advice and possibility Designed for ESL and Independent Learners If you can read English but still hesitate over pronunciation-or if natural conversation feels much faster than textbook English-this book builds a visible bridge between spelling and speech. The respelling system needs no special phonetic alphabet, so you can practice aloud without audio. The goal is to help you become clearly understood , understand others more easily, and speak with smoother rhythm and confident connected speech. Study and Exam Preparation The skills support speaking and listening for learners working toward Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET) and toward IELTS around 4.0-5.0 . They also support classes, presentations, interviews, work, and everyday conversation. By the End of This Book, You Will Be Able To: Use common assimilation patterns in natural speech Follow longer sentences with rhythm and weak forms Discuss relationships, society, media, and opinions Agree and disagree politely and support your point of view Tell more complex past stories and imagine unreal situations Report what people said and give practical advice Standard American English is the main pronunciation model, with British differences noted where they matter. The book is English-only and suitable for any language background. Continue the Pronunciation Journey Connections follows Book 5, Horizons, where linking and English rhythm are consolidated. Here, sounds begin to reshape one another through assimilation. Book 7, Perspectives, continues with elision -where sounds begin to disappear in fluent speech. Learn the word. See the pronunciation. Hear the connection. Say it naturally.
