Synopsis

“A splendid study, surely one of the most important that has appeared on the whole matter of power and resistance.”—Natalie Zemon Davis Confrontations between the powerless and powerful are laden with deception—the powerless feign deference and the powerful subtly assert their mastery. Peasants, serfs, untouchables, slaves, laborers, and prisoners are not free to speak their minds in the presence of power. These subordinate groups instead create a secret discourse that represents a critique of power spoken behind the backs of the dominant. At the same time, the powerful also develop a private dialogue about practices and goals of their rule that cannot be openly avowed. In this book, renowned social scientist James C. Scott offers a penetrating discussion both of the public roles played by the powerful and powerless and the mocking, vengeful tone they display off stage—what he terms their public and hidden transcripts. Using examples from the literature, history, and politics of cultures around the world, Scott examines the many guises this interaction has taken throughout history and the tensions and contradictions it reflects.

    Karen Hough doesn't want you to be "perfect." People fear public speaking because they worry about having to conform to all sorts of handed-down rules that tie them up in knots and put their audiences to sleep. It's authenticity and passion that win people over, she says, not "polish." But you can't be authentic if you’re following guidelines that drain the life and personality out of your presentation. 
     
     
     
    Hough debunks over a dozen myths about presenting to make it more fun and natural for everyone. She explains how practicing in front of a mirror makes you worse, why you should never end with questions, and much more. She includes true stories of people who not only were able to become great presenters by being "bad" but actually came to enjoy it! Like them, by following Karen Hough's wise and witty advice, you'll be able to tear up the old rules and embrace and develop your own style. You'll be freed to be a living, breathing, occasionally clumsy human being whose enthusiasm is powerful and infectious.

    Dreaming of becoming a published author but don't know where to start? 
    Self-publishing can seem daunting when you're starting from scratch. But it doesn't have to be! 
    This book is here to guide you through the maze of self-publishing without the usual prerequisites.Every day, aspiring authors are told they need an email list, a marketing budget, or an existing audience to succeed. But what if you're starting with nothing?Thousands of potential writers are discouraged before they even begin, believing they lack the resources to compete in today's crowded market.This is frustrating for talented storytellers who have brilliant ideas but feel stuck in a catch-22: needing an audience to sell books, but needing to sell books to build an audience. 
    The conflicting advice out there is overwhelming. You're told to invest in expensive marketing strategies, build a massive email list, or already have a strong social media following. It's enough to make any new author feel like they're already behind before they've even started. 
    This book is different. 
    From Zero to Published is your roadmap to success when you're starting from ground zero. Jason has been where you are, facing the same challenges and overcoming the same obstacles that you're encountering right now. 
    He's made the mistakes so you don't have to.

    Cork born Seamus Cashman is the founder of one of Ireland's leading literary and cultural publishing houses, Wolfhound Press. Previous poetry collections are: Carnival and Clowns & Acrobats. He edited two landmark anthologies for young readers, The Wolfhound Press Book of Irish Poems for Young People (1975) still in print, and Something Beginning with P: new poems from Irish poets (2004). He is a publishing consultant and writing tutor. He lives in Portmarnock. 
    The new poems in this collection reflect Cashman's sense of place and of the spiritual groundings of daily life characteristic of his early poems. Secrets, a sequence of thirteen poems written following a visit to Palestine– such as 'The Seperation Wall', 'Random Contact', 'Exceptions To The Truth', – are passionate responses to contemporary political tragedy, abuse of human rights, and love of homeland (tír grá). Poems in section two, Opening Doors, dance between childhood and parenthood, catch glimpses in mirrors and are 'Flying Skies'. Here are accessible, confident poems by a poet whose lyrical voice captivates.
