  Effective communication serves as the bedrock of personal and professional success. It enables us to express our ideas clearly, persuade others, and forge stronger relationships. This chapter delves into the essential elements that make up effective communication, emphasizing the need to understand its fundamental principles. 
  At the core of effective communication lies the understanding of its basics. This involves recognizing the different modes of communication—verbal, non-verbal, and written—and knowing when and how to use each mode effectively. Communication is not just about speaking or writing well; it's equally about listening. Active listening skills are crucial as they allow individuals to interpret both the words and the non-verbal cues sent by others, enhancing mutual understanding. 
  The distinction between verbal and non-verbal communication is another significant aspect. Verbal communication uses words to convey messages, which can be in oral or written form. In contrast, non-verbal communication includes gestures, facial expressions, body language, and even the tone of voice. Mastering both forms is vital for effective communication, as non-verbal cues often speak louder than words.

  Democracy Unmoored - Populism...

  Samuel Issacharoff

  The 2016 election of Donald Trump focused people's minds on populism, and most of the attention paid to the subject since has been on the threat it poses to wealthy democracies. In Democracy Unmoored, Samuel Issacharoff takes a far wider-angle view of the phenomenon, covering countries from across the globe: Brazil, Poland, Argentina, Turkey, India, Hungary, Venezuela, and more. Just as importantly, he focuses on populism's attack on the institutions of governance. Democracy requires two critical features: first, a commitment to repeat play such that political actors understand that what goes around comes around; and, second, institutional constraints so that the majority can prevail, albeit not by too much. Democracies must avoid the doomsday scenario in which the contending parties see the next election as the final choice between salvation and perdition. Issacharoff shows how populist governance undermines each of these two critical underpinnings of stable democracy, first by compressing the time horizon to the immediate, and second by eroding institutional constraints on strongman rule. At the same time, Issacharoff highlights the fact that ascendent populists were pushing in an open door as they found democracies in states of disrepair in the post-2008 world.

  Darkness Visible - A Study of...

  W.R. Johnson

  One of the best books ever written on one of humanity’s greatest epics, W. R. Johnson’s classic study of Vergil’s Aeneid challenges centuries of received wisdom. Johnson rejects the political and historical reading of the epic as a record of the glorious prehistory of Rome and instead foregrounds Vergil’s enigmatic style and questioning of the heroic myths. With an approach to the text that is both grounded in scholarship and intensely personal, and in a style both rhetorically elegant and passionate, Johnson offers readings of specific passages that are nuanced and suggestive as he focuses on the “somber and nourishing fictions” in Vergil’s poem. A timeless work of scholarship, Darkness Visible will enthrall classicists as well as students and scholars of the history of criticism—specifically the way in which politics influence modern readings of the classics—and of poetry and literature.
