Beschreibung

The France Alphabet is a wry, informative handbook for the discerning international traveller on how to handle the French. It offers essential A-Z insights into France and its ways through a snap alphabetic look at characters, traditions and historical events that together get to the essence of who the French are. France's best known writers and thinkers over the centuries come under the handbook's microscope with a light, challenging touch, as do world figures like Napoleon and Joan of Arc as well as France's role in high fashion, sex and the art of staying slim. For newcomers to France, indeed also for those already acquainted with its ways, The France Alphabet gives fresh insider counsel on how to discuss these things, some extremely touchy, when in French company. Each A-Z feature, from A is for Art, through R is for Revolution to Z is for Zola is the selection of English author David Lawday, who has long made France his home and has a French wife. Each one - with a brisk commentary and matching cartoon - epitomizes what it is that helps make the French the way they are.

  • The Sunk Cost Fallacy - Continuing a Venture Due to Past Investments - cover

    The Sunk Cost Fallacy -...

    William Rands

    The sunk cost fallacy is a psychological phenomenon that influences how people make decisions. At its core, this fallacy occurs when individuals continue investing time, money, or effort into a venture simply because they have already made prior investments, even when it becomes clear that continuing is not the best course of action. The irrational commitment to these past investments often overrides logic, leading to suboptimal outcomes. 
    The term "sunk cost" refers to resources that have already been expended and cannot be recovered. Examples include the money spent on a non-refundable ticket, the hours devoted to a project that’s unlikely to succeed, or the emotional energy invested in an unhealthy relationship. Once these resources are gone, they should not factor into future decision-making. However, human nature frequently drives people to consider these costs as if they can be salvaged, causing them to persist in unproductive pursuits. 
    The roots of the sunk cost fallacy are deeply tied to human psychology. Loss aversion, a key principle in behavioral economics, plays a significant role. People have a natural tendency to avoid losses, often valuing what they’ve already invested more than the potential benefits of walking away. Cognitive dissonance further complicates matters, as individuals may find it uncomfortable to admit that their previous choices were mistakes. This discomfort often leads to doubling down on those choices in an attempt to justify them.

    We broke our new series on learning Italian 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 Italian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Italian 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 Italian 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 Italian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Italian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Italian, 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. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    - Greeting 
    - Asking personal information 
    - Asking about people or things 
    - Talking about the current time and date
