Beschreibung

Odd Business Names delves into the critical role of language in global branding and business management, highlighting how a company's name can significantly impact its success. The book explores the high stakes involved when branding goes wrong, particularly due to linguistic translation errors or cultural insensitivity. Consider that a name resonating positively in one culture might be offensive elsewhere, leading to financial losses and reputational damage. This book uniquely bridges linguistic theory with practical business, demonstrating how a proactive approach to naming is an investment, not an expense. 

 
The book examines real-world case studies of naming blunders to dissect the linguistic, cultural, and business factors at play. It emphasizes the importance of linguistic due diligence, cultural sensitivity, and understanding onomastics (the study of names). For example, mistranslations can turn a well-intended brand into a source of amusement or even offense, severely impacting marketing efforts. Progressing from fundamental concepts to case studies and practical guidelines, this book offers actionable insights for navigating the complexities of global branding.

How to Tell a Story - An Ancient...

Aristotle

An inviting and accessible new translation of Aristotle's complete Poetics—the first and best introduction to the art of writing and understanding stories 
 
 
 
Aristotle's Poetics is the most important book ever written for writers and readers of stories—whether novels, short fiction, plays, screenplays, or nonfiction. Aristotle was the first to identify the keys to plot, character, audience perception, tragic pleasure, and dozens of other critical points of good storytelling. Despite being written more than 2,000 years ago, the Poetics remains essential reading for anyone who wants to learn how to write a captivating story—or understand how such stories work and achieve their psychological effects. Yet for all its influence, the Poetics is too little read because it comes down to us in a form that is often difficult to follow, and even the best translations are geared more to specialists than to general readers who simply want to grasp Aristotle's profound and practical insights. In How to Tell a Story, Philip Freeman presents the most accessible translation of the Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable book more engaging and useful than ever before.
