We all know eloquence when we hear it. But what exactly is it? And how might we gain more of it for ourselves? This entertaining and, yes, eloquent book illuminates the power of language from a linguistic point of view and provides fascinating insights into the way we use words. David Crystal, a world-renowned expert on the history and usage of the English language, probes the intricate workings of eloquence. His lively analysis encompasses everyday situations (wedding speeches, business presentations, storytelling) as well as the oratory of great public gatherings.
Crystal focuses on the here and now of eloquent speaking--from pitch, pace, and prosody to jokes, appropriateness, and how to wield a microphone. He explains what is going on moment by moment and examines each facet of eloquence. He also investigates topics such as the way current technologies help or hinder our verbal powers, the psychological effects of verbal excellence, and why certain places or peoples are thought to be more eloquent than others. In the core analysis of the book, Crystal offers an extended and close dissection of Barack Obama's electrifying "Yes we can" speech of 2008, in which the president demonstrated full mastery of virtually every element of eloquence--from the simple use of parallelism and an awareness of what not to say, to his brilliant conclusion constructed around two powerful words: dreams and answers.

Описание: Why did the work of Dante Gabriel Rossetti come to dominate the cultural geography of England between 1850 and 1910? And why, having attained that kind
of eminence, did Rossetti's star decline so precipitously with the advent of Modernism? Finally, what is there about Rossetti's work and its historical aftermath that makes these questions
important ones to ask? The cultural and aesthetic problems raised by those questions are the subject of this fascinating book. Jerome McGann, an eminent authority on Rossetti,
demonstrates the programmatic aims of Rossetti's innovative multimedia work by focusing on two issues, one philosophical and one cultural. First, McGann shows how in Rossetti's work
high-order thinking processes are modeled and executed as aesthetic practices.
Second, from Rossetti's Pre-Raphaelite 'art of the inner standing point' McGann argues that
Rossetti forces a revision of the cultural norms commonly used for evaluating artistic success and failure.

Описание: In many parts of Asia, folk jewellery has disappeared in the wake of modernism. In Nepal, however, where the formidable Himalayas have formed a barrier to outsiders and their influences, native jewellery traditions remain alive and strong. Jewellery in Nepal is worn for decorative, talismanic and investment purposes. Gold jewellery is abundant and its many forms are expressed in unusual sizes: silver, readily available in coin form, is freely used - as are beads of glass, coral, turquoise, amber and agate. In over a dozen trips to Nepal's most inaccessible areas, goldsmith and jewellery designer Hannelore Gabriel has documented the local jewellery worn for both daily and ceremonial decoration.
