Book excerpt: An essential guide to professional communication Professional communication has become more complex than ever as, with the rise of remote working and the increasing prominence of social media, we frequently find ourselves muted – when we can't find the opportunities to speak up or our ideas aren't getting the credit they deserve. In Unmuted, Heather Hansen draws upon her years of experience as a communication specialist and consultant to illustrate how you can overcome these obstacles and make your voice heard. Building upon research from business psychology, cultural studies and linguistics, Unmuted is the essential guide to professional communication. Through the unique 'Unmuted' framework, it provides practical strategies that will bring confidence and clarity to every aspect of your career, from writing perfectly worded emails to delivering powerful presentations.

Book excerpt: Why do people hate one another? Who gets to speak for whom? Why do so many people combat prejudice based on their race, sexual orientation, or disability? What does segregation look like today? Many of us ponder and discuss urgent questions such as these at home, and see them debated in the media, the classroom, and our social media feeds, but many of us don't have access to the important new ways philosophers are thinking about these very issues. Enter UnMute, the popular podcast hosted by Myisha Cherry, which hosts a diverse group of philosophers and explores their cutting-edge work through casual conversation. This book collects 31 of Cherry's lively and timely interviews, offering an accessible resource through which to encounter some of philosophy's most socially and politically engaged, public-facing work. Its original illustrations, depicting the interview subjects up close, show just how broad a range of philosophers--black, white, and brown, male and female, queer and straight, abled and disabled--are at the center of crucial contemporary conversations. Cherry asks philosophers to talk about their ideas in ways that anyone can understand, explaining how they got interseted in philosophy, and why the questions they investigate matter urgently. Along with the interviews, the volume provides a foreword by Cornel West, a section in which all the interviewees explain how they got into philosophy, and a "Say What?" glossary defining terms that might be new to some readers. Like the podcast that inspired it, the book welcomes in those new to these philosophical questions, those captivated by questions of race, class, gender, and other issues and looking for a new lens through which to examine them, and those well-versed in public philosophy looking for a one-stop guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Censored. Repressed. Subdued. Bound. Muted. No more. In a world pushed to the precipice of change, in a society that values the tried and true over the dynamic and new, what does it mean to be unmuted? In this anthology, a chorus of young women and gender-expansive teens give voice to fear and silence, hold nothing back, and demand justice. To be unmuted right now requires a new brand of bravery and these writers show us how it’s done. Using stories, poems, essays, fiction, drama, interviews, and more, they report on a global pandemic, a climate crisis, and the movement for racial equity. They also invite us on their personal journeys through the labyrinth of young adulthood: feeling the rich soil of a neighborhood garden between their fingers; traveling through time in search of their parents; inhaling the charged air where young love is brewing. For twenty-three years, the nationally award-winning nonprofit Girls Write Now has broken down the barriers of gender, race, age, and poverty, elevating the voices of writers who are too often not heard—or worse, silenced. Girls Write Now is the first writing and mentoring organization for girls and gender expansive youth of color, ranking today as one of the top programs nationwide for driving social-emotional growth for youth.

Book excerpt: PrefaceJamie Bond who is that? Well I am a fairly new widow now in single status. I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, a cousin, an aunt, a sister-in-law and a Radio Show host and a multi-talented Poetess. I am a lover of life and people with a large dose of humanitarianism about me to always try to help the next person. I am spiritual BUT I do curse and don't apologize for that; so don't look for me to raise the bar there lol I was born and raised in Newark aka Brick City New Jersey and for as long as I can remember expressing myself is... as natural as breathing... I write in spoken word format a lot which means that it tends to be in paragraph form because I know how to stop and breath with my own words because what? ((Smile)) because I was the one who wrote it; so I understand my breaks and breaths within my own cadence.... Ha-ha I have a sense of humor too if you didn't notice There is a Jamie Bond friend & fan page on Facebook I'm most definitely Google-able: if you type in itsbondjamiebond you'll find me all over the place... Now; the book is called UNMUTED INK for a wonderful reason ... and that is because; I want to introduce you, to not just my pen ...but pens like mine and or; of like minds. UnMuted Ink is a lot of things, but it's a fan page on Facebook for the public and a poetic group on Facebook as well. There are a lot of things coming into fruition so calling it a movement is an understatement... Mark my words.... So enough of that; what I would like you to do is... breathe in then exhale and smile... because I feel that this book is going to be one of your favorites! I cover all kinds of topics and emotions hoping to not leave a single soul unsatisfied with their purchase. Some are picture challenges without pictures for you to see, and the dedications at the end of some of these are because I recall a specific person making mention that that was their favorite piece perhaps... Thank you soooo much in advance for purchasing the book and please; I do encourage all those who do to follow thru and write a little review of how you enjoyed it THIS helps others decide if they would like to purchase it as well. If you take a picture holding ANY Jamie Bond/ UnMuted Ink product you may be the profile picture on one of the fan pages or websites as a thank you or in a future promotional campaign ... Let's get into some poetry shall we?Jamie

In this volume (seen through the press by his son Jonathan) Norman Del Mar brings all his wide experience to the explanations and elucidation of the more difficult points of conducting these works. The most imaginative orchestrator ever is treated with wisdom and perception and many doubtful technical points are clarified in this invaluable handbook.

The three extraordinary symphonies are considered in detail, followed by six overtures, and other important works. The volume culminates in chapters on the Grande Messe des morts and Te Deum which give true insight into these major choral pieces. Del Mar's writing style is easily approachable and carries the reader along in eager anticipation as understanding is assimilated from his own infectious enthusiasm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to provide a variety of exercises that engage students actively in all phases of scientific investigation, from formulating research questions through interpreting and presenting final results. Suited to undergraduates, each chapter presents an animal behavior exercise tested by academic members of the Animal Behavior Society. Four types of exercises are presented: (1) traditional exercises in which students follow a pre-determined protocol to test particular hypotheses, (2) traditional exercises that can easily be adapted to inquiry-based approaches, (3) combined pedagogy exercises that involve both traditional and inquiry approaches, and (4) inquiry exercises in which students brainstorm to generate their own hypotheses, then design their own experiments to test them. Exercises cover descriptive ethology, causation and development of behavior, and behavioral ecology. Both field and laboratory exercises are included on arthropods, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovating the Design Process: A Theatre Design Journey explores the process of designing for theatre and details how each part of a designer’s own process, no matter what their design specialization, can be innovated and adapted for a more confident journey and for better outcomes. The book observes and deconstructs the processes used by theatre designers, uncovers and explains the structure and concepts behind those processes and shows how they can be easily reassembled for better results and to meet different situations. It uses innovative real-world practical examples from all the fields of theatre design taken from shows throughout the author’s career. The processes covered in this book are split into two sections – design development and design implementation – with an additional chapter covering design presentations. Written in an engaging and informative style, this text opens up a designer’s ability to innovate within the design process to optimize reproducibility, resilience, personal fit, confidence, collaboration and audience engagement. Innovating the Design Process is a next level book for both MFA theatre design students and early career professionals who wish to develop their craft further. Seasoned professionals will also find within its pages concepts to reinvigorate their own design process. The book includes access to an online guide to using Microsoft Word for Mac to mirror content in two separate documents.
