Sinossi

The French Revolution comes to vivid life in Charles Dickens's famous novel about the best of times and the worst of times...

The storming of the Bastille…the death carts with their doomed human cargo…the swift drop of the guillotine blade—this is the French Revolution that Charles Dickens vividly captures in his famous work A Tale of Two Cities. With dramatic eloquence, he brings to life a time of terror and treason, a starving people rising in frenzy and hate to overthrow a corrupt and decadent regime. With insight and compassion, Dickens casts his novel of unforgettable scenes with some memorable characters: the sinister Madame Defarge, knitting her patterns of death; the gentle Lucie Manette, unswerving in her devotion to her broken father; Charles Darnay, the lover with a secret past; and dissolute Sydney Carton, whose unlikely heroism gives his life meaning.

    Persuasion - The Act of...

    Persuasion is an integral part of human interaction, deeply embedded in how we communicate and influence others in various aspects of life. It involves the art of convincing someone to change their beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, often through reasoning, emotional appeal, or both. Whether it’s a political leader attempting to sway voters, a marketer aiming to sell a product, or an individual trying to resolve a conflict, persuasion is a tool that enables individuals to shape others’ thoughts and actions. Understanding persuasion is essential not only to comprehend how others influence us but also to understand how we can use it ethically to influence others in return. 
    At its core, persuasion is about changing the way people think or act without forcing them into compliance. It is often misunderstood as a form of manipulation, but while both involve influencing others, manipulation typically involves deceit or coercion, whereas persuasion focuses on genuine reasoning and voluntary agreement. The ethical boundaries between persuasion and manipulation are significant, and understanding where persuasion becomes harmful is an important distinction in the study of this process. 
    One of the most significant aspects of persuasion is its psychological foundation. Persuasion works through the understanding of human cognition, emotions, and behavior. People are naturally influenced by their emotions, biases, and the social context in which they find themselves. Cognitive biases such as the bandwagon effect, anchoring, and authority bias can make individuals more susceptible to persuasive messages. This means that the context, presentation, and emotional appeal can have a profound impact on how persuasive an argument or idea is.

    We broke our new series on learning Romanian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Romanian.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Romanian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Romanian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Romanian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Romanian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Romanian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    1. Asking about family 
    2. Asking about relationship status

  • Writing the Wisdom - Creative writing as healing from childhood trauma - cover

    Writing the Wisdom - Creative...

    Writing the Wisdom explores the effects and emotional impact that trauma and abuse have on a person's life whilst also bringing together religious, spiritual, pastoral and therapeutic understandings. In a partnership between a church minister and an accredited counsellor, Barbara Glasson and Penny Johnson have used “creative writing for wellbeing” with women survivors of childhood trauma, including organized ritual abuse, a subject that still remains largely hidden from our society.
    
    
     
    The poetry and prose that have been produced during these creative writing workshops may help those who have lived through such devastation to feel less isolated, by giving them the opportunity to read about others' experiences.
    
     
    Writing the Wisdom also explores church practices that are unhelpful for those who have experienced abuse. Language and litany, listening and witnessing, healing, forgiveness and wisdom are all discussed, in the hope of enabling faith communities to look more closely and honestly at our way of life and to be mindful of the difficulties that some survivors of childhood abuse face.
