Beschreibung

In 'The Histories of Polybius', the author provides a detailed account of the rise of Rome from 264 to 146 BC. Polybius combines historical facts with analysis, making this work a significant contribution to ancient historiography. Written in a straightforward and lucid style, the book offers insight into the political and military events of the time, as well as the complex interplay of different cultures and civilizations. Polybius' meticulous research and impartial narration add to the credibility of his work, ensuring its enduring value for scholars and history enthusiasts alike. Polybius, a Greek historian and statesman, was an eyewitness to many of the events he described in his work. His firsthand experiences and close relationships with key figures in Roman politics enabled him to provide unique perspectives on the rise of Rome. Polybius' expertise in military matters and politics, as well as his ability to analyze historical events, shines through in this comprehensive history. I highly recommend 'The Histories of Polybius' to readers interested in ancient history, Roman politics, and military affairs. This two-volume work is a cornerstone of ancient historiography and offers valuable insights into the development of one of the greatest civilizations in history.

Speaking by the Numbers -...

Sean Palmer

It's not just what you say, but how you say it.
Good communicators know this, but it's often easier said than done. Teachers, leaders, and speakers are often left bewildered, wondering why the content that was so carefully planned and delivered seems to fall flat with the audience. The art of communication requires more than the transfer of information; it both connects with and engages the hearer. To communicate well, speakers must understand both their audience and themselves.
Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences. Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive and process information. Sean Palmer draws from his extensive experience as a public speaker to develop communication strategies that lead to connection, transformation, and mobilization of audiences. Providing real examples of speeches and messages he has given, Palmer shows how he uses the Enneagram to craft a message that connects with his audience.
A healthy marriage of Enneagram wisdom and communication skill can help us speak with clarity into the heart of where people live, love, and experience life.
