  Read for Insights, Improve Your Life, & Make an Impact 
  * INSIGHTS present you with a shift in the way you think about an idea or topic. They provide you with a realization that you should change the way you think about something and reconsider the actions that you take. * 
  Insights from reading have the power to provide us with priceless nuggets of knowledge and wisdom. For example, you may discover a key piece of advice that helps you move away from a bad situation and to change your life around. Or you may discover words that aid you to help someone close to you in need of advice or support, perhaps helping you to save a life. 
  Seeking out and reading insightful books will help catapult you to higher levels of success, happiness, physical and emotional health, understanding, wisdom, and peace. This is because when you read, you have access to some of the most brilliant and inspirational people of all time, and the lessons they learned. 
  The problem is most of us learn how to read superficially in school, rather than in a deep and meaningful way. Thankfully, The Insightful Reader will help you to choose the right books to read, get more out of what you read, create a better life through reading, and ultimately to become an insightful reader, learner, and thinker. Whether you read hundreds of books or just a few per year, you will benefit from this book. 
  With the insights you acquire through reading, you can change and empower yourself, aid those around you, and ultimately make an impact on the world.

  Old and new, serious and absurd, tricky and electrifying. A book of words, words, words, for actors and directors, playwrights and poets, readers and speakers. For Shakespeareans and Anti-Shakespeareans and Non-Shakespeareans. A sequence of thirty-three mesmerising epilogue-and-prologue-like eleven-line paragraphs or poems or stanzas. A monologue of monologues. A stream of consciousness. 
  “Unclassifiable. Classify under poetry, theatre, Shakespeare.” – Carolyn Lloyd Davies 
  “The poems shake Shakespeare into shimmering new assemblages.” – Emma Smith 
  “Surprising and haunting.” – Stephen Greenblatt 
  In this audiobook edition, the poems are read by folk singer Jackie Oates, who animates them with the skill of a consummate performer.

  Lost in Automatic Translation -...

  Vered Shwartz

  The last decade has seen an exponential increase in the development and adoption of language technologies, from personal assistants such as Siri and Alexa, through automatic translation, to chatbots like ChatGPT. Yet questions remain about what we stand to lose or gain when we rely on them in our everyday lives. As a non-native English speaker living in an English-speaking country, Vered Shwartz has experienced both amusing and frustrating moments using language technologies: from relying on inaccurate automatic translation, to failing to activate personal assistants with her foreign accent. English is the world's foremost go-to language for communication, and mastering it past the point of literal translation requires acquiring not only vocabulary and grammar rules, but also figurative language, cultural references, and nonverbal communication. Will language technologies aid us in the quest to master foreign languages and better understand one another, or will they make language learning obsolete?
