You Are What You Don't Say - Finding a New Paradigm for Business Communication is about bringing a new era of respect, trust, kindness and inspiration to all of our business lives. The modern world of human interaction has become a strange mix of old and new, appropriate and inappropriate, effective and ineffective, and can include too many downright disrespectful and failed attempts at dialogue. Even with all of the enormous changes in technology, the way people work and interact, and the overwhelming demands placed on humans' ability to rapidly exchange information, there has been almost no societal adaptation of guidelines for how we should communicate effectively. What businesspeople need is direction toward a new paradigm for how we all interact with each other.This is not just another book about where to put your hands when you talk. The world needs much more than that. Business in the twenty-first century is moving and changing so rapidly that success can only come to individuals and organizations which are fluid, innovative, and creative in their approaches and their exchange of information.Authored by a communication expert with more than thirty-five years of strategic communication consulting experience, You Are What You Don't Say - Finding a New Paradigm for Business Communication is written for readers who want to understand why certain things work in communicating, and how some communication approaches are far better than others in today's business environment. It explores how meanness became so prevalent in so many companies and gives specific guidelines for finding the way to more innovative dialogue. This book can be a life-changing experience for anyone seeking to become more influential, liked, respected, and successful in their business and personal life.

I am deeply troubled by what I see in most churches across our nation today. The average American congregation has less than 100 people. 85% of U.S. churches are at best stagnant and at worst in disappointing decline. Could it be that there are too many church-goers and not enough Christ-followers?As believers, we certainly talk a good deal about following Jesus. But it feels like the phrase has lost its meaning. It's a cliche that needs to be resurrected from the dead. Interestingly, the New Testament has a very vivid word for those who humbly follow Jesus--the "despised " It comes from the combination of two Greek words, which mean "from nothing." A good English word for "despised" might be "desperado." We tend to think of a desperado as someone outside the law. But originally, the word meant a nobody with nothing, desperate enough to take reckless action to get something of substance for their life.This book is a heartcry to all those who would be desperados for Jesus. Jesus makes us the target of His relentless love. He is the divine Desperado, who will stop at nothing to rescue us to life abundant and everlasting. This is a spiritual adventure you will never regret--a reckless pursuit of our relentless Jesus.Jesus has made us the target of His relentless love.

A must-read guide for parents and grandparents who want to practically and successfully help their teenager navigate the ever-lengthening stage of adolescence launching, them into society with confidence, vision, and success.Zombies are not just found in horror movies, sometimes they’re lying on your living room couch. These are undead adolescents whose psychological and social development have come to a screeching halt. Torn by their yearning for freedom and their fear of surviving the outside world, they have stalled in their maturity, motivation, and purpose in life, hijacked by a helplessness and fear of responsibility. Parents often feel ill-equipped to love, support, and guide them—especially when they may be facing a midlife crisis of their own and battling some of the same issues in their own lives. Is it really possible to escape this “undead” state of being? In My Teenage Zombie board-certified psychiatrist and medical doctor David L. Henderson explains the parts of a teenage zombie (their brain, heart, and spirit), how they got into this undead state, and how to resurrect them back to life. Using real-life examples of families he has counseled, he describes both their physical and psychological characteristics and offers practical suggestions on how to deal with, and in many cases avoid, having an undead adolescent in your home.The book is divided into three helpful sections:The Rise of the Undead: Understanding the Nature of a Teenage ZombieThe Fear of the Undead: Facing the Anxiety of Confronting a Teenage ZombieResurrecting the Undead: Restoring Your Teenage Zombie to a Life Worth LivingIf you are the parent of an undead adolescent, there is hope for you and your child. Or maybe you have children who are not yet adolescents. It’s never too early to prepare for the challenges that await you. Either way, stay calm and start resurrecting zombies!
In this fascinating study of contemporary Christian worshippers, David L. Moody analyzes Christian rap music against traditional Christian theology. For many, mixing the sanctified worship of God with music originating from unconsecrated avenues has become difficult to accept. From the back alleys and streets of “the hood” to the club scene of urban America, Christian rappers walk to a different beat than the preacher at the pulpit. However, similar to a street evangelist, the Black Christian rapper is about singing praise to God and delivering the gospel message to his “lost homies” on the streets. Moody examines the emergence of hip hop based ministries and their place among youth with the Black community.
The Complexity and Progression of Black Representation in Film and Television

The Complexity and Progression of Black Representation in Film and Television examines the intricacies of race, representation, Black masculinity, sexuality, class, and color in American cinema and television. Black images on the silver screen date back to the silent film era, yet these films and television programs presented disturbing images of African American culture, and regrettably, many early films and small screen programs portrayed Black characters in demeaning and stereotypical roles. In order to fully analyze the roles of Black actors and actresses in film and television, Moody addresses the following issues: the historical significance of the term “race films”; female Black identities and constructs; queerness and Black masculinity; Black male identities; and Black buffoonery in film and television.
A good political community is one whose citizens are actively engaged in deciding their common future together. Bound together by ties of national solidarity, they discover and implement principles of justice that all can share. This collection of essays aims to show that such an ideal is feasible.
Rural People and Communities in the 21st Century

Rural people and communities continue to play important social, economic and environmental roles at a time in which societies are rapidly urbanizing, and the identities of local places are increasingly subsumed by flows of people, information and economic activity across global spaces. However, while the organization of rural life has been fundamentally transformed by institutional and social changes that have occurred since the mid-twentieth century, rural people and communities have proved resilient in the face of these transformations. This book examines the causes and consequences of major social and economic changes affecting rural communities and populations during the first decades of the twenty-first century, and explores policies developed to ameliorate problems or enhance opportunities. Primarily focused on the U.S. context, while also providing international comparative discussion, the book is organized into five sections each of which explores both socio-demographic and political economic aspects of rural transformation. It features an accessible and up-to-date blend of theory and empirical analysis, with each chapter's discussion grounded in real-life situations through the use of empirical case-study materials. Rural People and Communities in the 21st Century is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in rural sociology, community sociology, rural and/or population geography, community development, and population studies.
Water is our planet’s most precious resource. It is required by every living thing, yet a huge proportion of the world’s population struggles to access clean water daily. Agriculture, aquaculture, industry, and energy all depend on it - yet its provision and safety engender widespread conflict; battles likely to intensify as threats to freshwater abundance and quality, such as climate change, urbanization, new forms of pollution, and the privatization of control, continue to grow. But must the cost of potable water become prohibitively expensive for the poor - especially when supplies are privatized? Do technological advances only expand supply or can they carry hidden risks for minority groups? And who bears responsibility for managing the adverse impacts of dams funded by global aid organizations when their burdens fall on some, while their benefits accrue to others? In answering these and other pressing questions, the book shows how control of freshwater operates at different levels, from individual watersheds near cities to large river basins whose water - when diverted - is contested by entire countries. Drawing on a rich range of examples from across the world, it explores the complexity of future challenges, concluding that nations must work together to embrace everyone's water needs while also establishing fair, consistent criteria to promote available supply with less pollution.

The blacksmith was once crucial to village life, whether commissioned for the humblest repair, the most luxurious ironwork or even the odd anvil marriage. Occupying prime position in the village, the forge attracted custom from miles around and was a hive of industry and social interaction. David L. McDougall here describes the varied work blacksmiths undertook, the tools and techniques they used, and the magical and mystical qualities with which they were associated. If you want to know more about the rise and fall of the country blacksmith – and the recent revival of the craft – this colourfully illustrated book is the ideal introduction.
How learners and speakers make sense of their language and make their language make sense. Is it dived or dove? Dwarfs or dwarves? If the best students aced the test, did the pretty good students beece it? You've probably often pondered such questions yourself, but did you know that similar questions have inspired some of the most important advances in our understanding not only of how languages change but also of how children acquire grammar and how the human mind works? This book is designed to help readers make sense of morphological change and, more generally, of the concept of analogy and its role in language and in human cognition. With a critical look at the past 150 years of linguistic work on analogical change, David Fertig brings clarity to a field rife with terminological and theoretical confusion.
