"Dean Nelson is one of the best interviewers around." -Anne Lamott
From respected journalist, professor, and founder of the Writer's
Symposium by the Sea, an indispensable guide to the subtle art of
the interview guaranteed to afford readers with the skills and
confidence they need the next time they say, "talk to me."
Interviewing is the single most important way journalists (and
doctors, lawyers, social workers, teachers, human resources staff,
and, really, all of us) get information. Yet to many, the perfect
interview feels more like luck than skill-a rare confluence of
rapport, topic, and timing. But the thing is, great interviews
aren't the result of serendipity and intuition, but rather the
result of careful planning and good journalistic habits. And Dean
Nelson is here to show you how to nail the perfect interview every
time. Drawing on forty-years of award-winning journalism and his
experience as the founder and host of the Writer's Symposium by the
Sea, Nelson walks readers through each step of the journey from
deciding whom to interview and structuring questions, to the nitty
gritty of how to use a recording device and effective note-taking
strategies, to the ethical dilemmas of interviewing people you love
(and loathe). He also includes case studies of famous interviews to
show readers how these principles play out in real time. Chock full
of comprehensive, time-tested, gold-standard advice, Talk to Me is
a book that demystifies the art and science of interviewing, in the
vein of On Writing Well or How to Read Literature Like a Professor.
Quantum Leap uses key events in the life of Polkinghorne to
introduce the central ideas that make science and religion such a
fascinating field of investigation. Sir John Polkinghorne is a
British particle physicist who, after 25 years of research and
discovery in academia, resigned his post to become an Anglican
priest and theologian. He was a professor of mathematical physics
at Cambridge University, and was elected to the Royal Society in
1974. As a physicist he participated in the research that led to
the discovery of the quark, the smallest known particle. This
cheerful biography-cum-appraisal of his life and work uses
Polkinghorne's story to approach some of the most important
questions: a scientist's view of God; why we pray, and what we
expect; does the universe have a point?; moral and scientific laws;
what happens next?

The Experiential Approach is a book for the millions of us who are
searching for ways to handle the ever-changing streams of stress
that complicate our lives.
It effectively answers questions like:
Do you find yourself in the grasp of procrastination?
Do your fears keep you from doing what you want in life?
Do you have difficulty maintaining focus?
Do your goals always seem to be out of reach?
Do you live with self doubt?
Do you feel frustrated over situations you want to change but
cannot?
Do you feel stuck in your job, relationship or life situation?
The book addresses these issues and more by providing real-life
examples that people can relate to along with simple step-by-step
measures that allow the reader to transition into a feeling of
fulfillment.
Interesting and compelling exercises within the book promote
avenues for discovering hidden deterrents to moving forward in
life. They will assist you in changing behavioral patterns leading
to sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
This book was written from the author's ongoing desire to assist
those in need of experiencing the joy of living a fulfilled life.
It accomplishes this by helping people obtain goals, eliminate
doubt, realize their potential and also aids them in discovering
ways to implement the changes needed to create the life of one's
dreams.
Dreadful childhood experiences led the author on a lifelong search
for meaning. This journey intensified his hunt for a sense of
fulfillment and joy in living everyday life.
His haunting past contributed to feelings of doubt, shame, failure
and hopelessness.
During more than twenty-five years of research and attending
seminars in the self development arena he discovered ways of
banishing the doubt and shame, accepting success and
accomplishments and turning his life into a self-fulfilling path of
meaningful relationships, creative destiny and the joyous
expression of bliss.
The material in this book gives the reader somewhat of a shortcut
to fulfillment.
All the years the author spent completing the research and
learning the processes and techniques will benefit the reader
immensely by providing an easy to follow, results-oriented plan for
life improvement.
If you like thrilling action, lots of romance and plenty of good
deeds, read about Zane Winchester, teenage savior of the frontier.
