Packed with the latest research, best practices and hands-on
applications, Keith/Lundberg's PUBLIC SPEAKING: CHOICES AND
RESPONSIBILITY, 4th Edition, equips you with everything you need to
become comfortable creating an outstanding speech. Working from a
conversational framework, you'll learn to approach public speaking
as a way of continuing important public conversations with specific
audiences. The authors emphasize the importance of civility as the
ethical grounding of speech in public as well as address "fake
news" and the problem it poses for doing research. An all-new
chapter takes a deep dive into online presentation skills, covering
everything from eye contact on Zoom to using graphics in a mediated
presentation. Expanding the formats of public speaking, the final
chapter is devoted to special kinds of speaking like TED Talks,
PechaKucha, poetry slams, toasts and more.
The conventional portrayal of George Augustus Selwyn, the first
Anglican bishop of New Zealand, focuses upon his significance as a
missionary bishop who pioneered synodical government in New Zealand
and acted as a mediator between settlers and Maori. George Augustus
Selwyn (1809-1878) focuses on Selwyn's theological formation, which
places him in the context of the world of traditional high
churchmanship, rather than the Oxford Movement narrowly conceived.
It argues that his distinctiveness lay in the way in which he was
able to transplant his vision of Anglicanism to the colonial
context. Making use of Selwyn's personal correspondence and papers,
as well as his unpublished sermons, the book analyses his
theological formation, his missionary policy, his role within the
formation of the colonial episcopate, his attitude to conciliar
authority and his impact upon the diocesan revival in England. The
study places Selwyn alongside other likeminded high churchmen who
shaped the framework for the transformation of Anglicanism from
State Church to worldwide communion in the nineteenth century.
If you feel like the world has gone to hell in a handbasket,
you’re not alone. If you often feel there’s nothing you can do
about it, you’re also not alone. Along with this increasing
anger, fear, and frustration, much confusion still prevails on the
appropriate communication practices for responding to difficult
situations and improving our lives. Communication experts, Robert
Danisch and William Keith, explain why and how we can practice
radical civility in this practical guide to everyday
“political” communication. This guide begins with examples of
radical civility to show the potential of this kind of
communication to change minds and bridge differences. The authors
then unpack the three foundational principles of radical civility
as useful theoretical tools for thinking throughout interactions
with others in civic spaces. This is then followed by a three-step
process for practicing radical civility drawing on research into
active listening and its importance for creating connections,
validating other views, and opening up possibilities for future
conversation. The guide concludes with evidence-based communication
practices and prescriptive recommendations for how to do each and
show examples of each in action. Radically Civil: Saving Democracy
One Conversation at a Time is a much-needed communication-based
antidote to polarization, preparing students, researchers, and
community leaders to be responsible participants in today’s
society.

as an entire chapter devoted to special kinds of speeches like TED
Talks, PechaKucha, poetry slams and more.

This is a guide for the system designers and installers faced with
the day-to-day issues of achieving EMC, and will be found valuable
across a wide range of roles and sectors, including process
control, manufacturing, medical, IT and building management. The
EMC issues covered will also make this book essential reading for
product manufacturers and suppliers - and highly relevant for
managers as well as technical staff.
The authors' approach is thoroughly practical - all areas of
installation EMC are covered, with particular emphasis on cabling
and earthing. Students on MSc and CPD programmes will also find in
this book some valuable real-world antidotes to the academic
treatises.
The book is presented in two parts: the first is non-technical, and
looks at the need for EMC in the context of systems and
installations, with a chapter on the management aspects of EMC. The
second part covers the technical aspects of EMC, looking at the
various established methods which can be applied to ensure
compatibility, and setting these in the context of the new
responsibilities facing system builders.
EMC for Systems and Installations is designed to complement Tim
Williams' highly successful EMC for Product Designers.
Practical guide to EMC design issues for those involved in systems
design and installation.
Complementary title to Williams' bestselling EMC for Product
Designers.
Unique guidance for installers on EMC topics.
From the pundits to the polls, nearly everyone seems to agree that
US politics have rarely been more fractious, and calls for a return
to “civil discourse” abound. Yet it is also true that the
requirements of polite discourse effectively silence those who are
not in power, gaming the system against the disenfranchised. What,
then, should a democracy do? This book makes a case for
understanding civility in a different light. Examining the history
of the concept and its basis in communication and political theory,
William Keith and Robert Danisch present a clear, robust analysis
of civil discourse. Distinguishing it from politeness, they claim
that civil argument must be redirected from the goal of political
comity to that of building and maintaining relationships of minimal
respect in the public sphere. They also take into account how
civility enables discrimination, indicating conditions under which
uncivil resistance is called for. When viewed as a communication
practice for uniting people with differences and making them more
equal, civility is transformed from a preferable way of speaking
into an essential component of democratic life. Guarding against
uncritical endorsement of civility as well as skepticism, Keith and
Danisch show with rigor, nuance, and care that the practice of
civil communication is both paradoxical and sorely needed. Beyond
Civility is necessary reading for our times.

The tales told of Orpheus are legion. He is said to have been an
Argonaut--and to have saved Jason's life. Rivers are reported to
have stopped their flow to listen to the sounds of his lyre and his
voice. Plato cites his poetry and Herodotus refers to "practices
that are called Orphic." Did Orpheus, in fact, exist? His influence
on Greek thought is undeniable, but his disciples left little of
substance behind them. Indeed, their Orphic precepts have been lost
to time.
W.K.C. Guthrie attempts to uncover and define Orphism by
following its circuitous path through ancient history. He tackles
this daunting task with the determination of a detective and the
analytical rigor of a classical scholar. He ferries his readers
with him on a singular voyage of discovery.
