In Resonate Dr Louise Mahler, voice coach extraordinaire, demonstrates that your mind, body and voice are inextricably linked.

Whether you struggle to make a point at work or a school committee meeting; whether you're going for the next big job or trying to improve your performance in the one you have; or you simply want better ways to communicate, Resonate will show you how to tune in to your own vocal intelligence, identify the physical and mental blocks that are holding you back, and reclaim your authentic voice.

Castles Their History and Evolution in Medieval Britain
epub | 48.01 MB | English | Marc Morris | 2017 | Pegasus Books
About Castles Their History and Evolution in Medieval Britain :
From the author of The Norman Conquest and A Great and Terrible King comes a sweeping and stunning history of the most magnificent castles in Britain.
Beginning with their introduction in the eleventh century, and ending with their widespread abandonment in the seventeenth, Marc Morris explores many of the country's most famous castles, as well as some spectacular lesser-known examples.
At times this is an epic tale, driven by characters like William the Conqueror, King John and Edward I, full of sieges and conquest on an awesome scale. But it is also by turns an intimate story of less eminent individuals, whose adventures, struggles and ambitions were reflected in the fortified residences they constructed. Be it ever so grand or ever so humble, a castle was first and foremost a home.
To understand castles-who built them, who lived in them, and why-is to understand the forces that shaped medieval Britain.

The Souls of China The Return of Religion After Mao
epub | 6.6 MB | English | Ian Johnson | 2017 | Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
About The Souls of China The Return of Religion After Mao :
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist: a revelatory portrait of religion in China today-its history, the spiritual traditions of its Eastern and Western faiths, and the ways in which it is influencing China's future.
Following a century of violent antireligious campaigns, China is now awash with new temples, churches, and mosques-as well as cults, sects, and politicians trying to harness religion for their own ends. Driving this explosion of faith is uncertainty-over what it means to be Chinese, and how to live an ethical life in a country that discarded traditional morality a century ago and is still searching for new guideposts. Ian Johnson lived for extended periods with underground church members, rural Daoists, and Buddhist pilgrims. He has distilled these experiences into a cycle of festivals, births, deaths, detentions, and struggle-a great awakening of faith that is shaping the soul of the world's newest superpower.

Embed With Games A Year on the Couch with Game Developers
epub | 4.05 MB | English | Cara Ellison | 2015 | Birlinn
About Embed With Games A Year on the Couch with Game Developers :
In 2014 games critic Cara Ellison rather flippantly pledged to the internet she'd leave home, become itinerant, and travel around the world to live with and write about some of the most interesting game developers and their cultural outlook. As your 'cyberpunk hair-dyed Attenborough', originally Cara put up the Embed With Games series monthly on a free blog as she travelled from couch to couch, writing about the people she met and about the way our game creators express the culture around them. The internet generously helped fund her travel costs through a subscription service, egging her on in the only way it could. This is the collected work, called Embed With Games with an exclusive introduction from Kieron Gillen, a cover from Irene Koh, and a conclusion exclusive to the eBook.

Victory 1945 Western Allied Troops in Northwest Europe
epub | 32.95 MB | English | Gordon L. Rottman | Osprey Publishing
About Victory 1945 Western Allied Troops in Northwest Europe :
Even when Western Allied troops gained a foothold in Normandy, World War II in Europe was far from over. The route to Germany's interior and the Nazis final surrender was long, arduous and blood-stained. The Wehrmacht's stubborn resistance and the shocking losses suffered by US, British, Canadian and 'Free European' troops meant that the Allies had to adapt and refine small-unit tactics, battle-drills, and their use of weapons and munitions. The troops who finally met up with the Red Army in Germany were a very different fighting force to the one that struggled up the beaches of northern France. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the late-war Allied troops, exploring their uniforms, equipment, organization and tactics. Detailed description and accurate color pictures illustrate the means by which the Allied troops on the ground evolved to the point of winning the war on the Western Front.

Vulgar Tongues An Alternative History of English Slang
epub | 1.11 MB | English | Max Décharné | 2016 | Profile Books
About Vulgar Tongues An Alternative History of English Slang :
Slang is the language of pop culture, low culture, street culture, underground movements and secret societies; depending on your point of view, it is a badge of honour, a sign of identity or a dangerous assault on the values of polite society. Of all the vocabularies available to us, slang is the most alive, constantly evolving and - as it leaks into the mainstream and is taken up by all of us - infusing the language with a healthy dose of vitality.
Witty, energetic and informative, Vulgar Tongues traces the many routes of slang, beginning with the thieves and prostitutes of Elizabethan London and ending with the present day (where the centuries-old terms rap and hip-hop still survive, though their meanings have changed). On the way, we'll meet Dr Johnson, World War Two flying aces, pickpockets, schoolchildren, hardboiled private eyes, carnival geeks and the many eccentric characters who have tried to record slang throughout its chequered...

Yurei The Japanese Ghost
epub | 11.56 MB | English | Zack Davisson | 2015 | Chin Music Press Inc.
About Yurei The Japanese Ghost :
"I lived in a haunted apartment." Zack Davisson opens this definitive work on Japan's ghosts, or yurei, with a personal tale about the spirit world. Eerie red marks on the apartment's ceiling kept Zack and his wife on edge. The landlord warned them not to open a door in the apartment that led to nowhere. "Our Japanese visitors had no problem putting a name to it . . . they would sense the vibes of the place, look around a bit and inevitably say 'Ahhh . . . yurei ga deteru.' There is a yurei here."
Combining his lifelong interest in Japanese tradition and his personal experiences with these vengeful spirits, Davisson launches an investigation into the origin, popularization, and continued existence of yurei in Japan. Juxtaposing historical documents and legends against contemporary yurei-based horror films such as The Ring, Davisson explores the persistence of this paranormal phenomenon in modern day Japan and its continued...

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker by Damon Young
epub | 858.58 KB | English | Damon Young | HarperCollins
About What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker by Damon Young :
From the cofounder of VerySmartBrothas.com, and one of the most read writers on race and culture at work today, a provocative and humorous memoir-in-essays that explores the ever-shifting definitions of what it means to be black (and male) in America
For Damon Young, there is a particular neurosis to being black in America today. One where Did that happen because I'm black? If this is happening because I'm black, how am I supposed to react-as a professional black person? are questions that play on a loop in his mind, every day of every week.
Combining a provocative sense of humor with an unapologetic look at race and racism, What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker chronicles Young's attempt to answer these questions, and explores how these queries-and the angsts and anxieties they induce-both create and constrict our ideas of blackness and what it means to be a man.
From rejoicing over Barack Obama's election (and hoping he...

Women from the Ankle Down The Story of Shoes and How They Define Us
epub | 1.54 MB | English | Rachelle Bergstein | 2012 | HarperCollins
About Women from the Ankle Down The Story of Shoes and How They Define Us :
What is it about a pair of shoes that so enchants women of all ages, demographics, political affiliations, and style tribes? Part social history, part fashion record, part pop-culture celebration, Women from the Ankle Down seeks to answer that question as it unfolds the story of shoes in the twentieth century.
The tale begins in the rural village of Bonito, Italy, with a visionary young shoemaker named Salvatore Ferragamo and ends in New York City with a fictional socialite and trendsetter named Carrie Bradshaw. Along the way it stops in Hollywood, where Judy Garland first slipped on her ruby slippers; New Jersey, where Nancy Sinatra heard something special in a song about boots; and the streets of Manhattan, where a transit-worker strike propelled women to step into cutting-edge athletic shoes. Fashion aficionado Rachelle Bergstein shares the stories behind these historical moments, interweaving the design innovations and social changes that gave each one its...

The Extraordinary Journey of Vivienne Marshall by Shannon Kirk
epub | 487.44 KB | English | Shannon Kirk | Reputation Books
About The Extraordinary Journey of Vivienne Marshall by Shannon Kirk :
What if you could choose your heaven now? Go on a celestial shopping trip of sorts? Thirty-five-year-old Vivienne does just that, as she lies dying in the ICU; a fatal walk into the path of a truck. In her final week of life, Vivienne treks through the Heavens of a priest, a best friend, a homeless child, and a lover who never was. Vivienne's guardian angel, Noah, who may just be her soul mate, escorts her through selections of Heavens and through the confusion Vivienne experiences as she flounders between a doubt of life and the certainty of death. Although her visits to varied afterlives provide peace and beauty, choosing proves not so easy: Vivienne's love for her young son and her earthly father pull her from her colorful journey-and from her divine love of Noah. The nature of love, the variety and magic of life, unending hope, and the importance of saying goodbye are central to this uplifting tale.
