From the author of TheWordhord:Daily Life in Old English, an audiobook narrated by Isabel Adomakoh Young that takes you on an entertaining tour of Old English words for animals Many of the animals we encounter in everyday life, from pets and farm animals to the wild creatures of field and forest, have remained the same since medieval times. But the words used to name and describe them have often changed beyond recognition, starting with the Old English word for "animal" itself, deor (pronounced DAY-or). In The Deorhord, Hana Videen presents a glittering Old English bestiary of animals real and imaginary, big and small, ordinary and extraordinary—the good, the bad, and the downright baffling. From gange-wæfran or walker-weavers (spiders) and hasu-padan or grey-cloaked ones (eagles) to heafdu swelce mona or moon-heads (historians still don't know!), The Deorhord introduces a world both familiar and strange: where ants could be monsters and panthers could be your friend, where dog-headed men were as real as elephants, and where whales were as sneaky as wolves. The curious stories behind these words provide vivid insights into the language, literature, and lives of those who spoke Old English—the language of Beowulf—more than a thousand years ago. A delightful journey through the weird and wonderful world of Old English, The Deorhord is a magical menagerie of new creatures and new words for the modern englisc reader to discover.Ver livro

The fear of public speaking is a common experience, affecting individuals across diverse professions and backgrounds. This book recognizes that fear and provides a comprehensive approach to understanding and overcoming it. It bridges the gap between the neuroscience of anxiety and the practical application of techniques for building confidence and delivering effective presentations. We'll explore the neurological underpinnings of public speaking anxiety, examining the role of the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, and how our cognitive processes contribute to the amplification of anxiety. You'll learn how cognitive distortions and negative self-talk can perpetuate a cycle of fear, and we'll equip you with strategies to challenge and reframe these unhelpful thought patterns. But this book is not just about understanding the problem; it’s about finding solutions. We will delve into the remarkable power of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself, and demonstrate how consistent practice and positive reinforcement can transform your response to public speaking. We'll introduce you to a range of techniques, including mindfulness, visualization, breathwork, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), all designed to help you manage stress, cultivate self-compassion, and build unwavering self-efficacy. Furthermore, this book will guide you through the mechanics of effective communication, covering everything from crafting compelling narratives and mastering vocal delivery to employing powerful body language and engaging your audience. Throughout the book, you'll find practical exercises, real-world examples, and case studies to help you integrate these techniques into your daily life and build lasting confidence. Prepare to embark on a transformative journey, one that will not only improve your public speaking abilities but also empower you to become a more confident, clear, and charismatic communicator in all aspects of your life.Ver livro
