Japanese for All Occasions: Mastering Speech Styles from Casual to Honorific 1 CD attached Review

In Japanese, register -- the way you change your words depending on who you are speaking to -- plays a key role. The rules of register in Japanese are far more complicated than they are in English, but until now there hasn't been a book that lays it all out in an accessible format. Japanesefor All Occasions is a much-needed introduction to this bewildering aspect of the language, aimed at intermediate students and above.

Through 57 dialogues, veteran teacher Taeko Kamiya shows learners how the Japanese change their way of speaking according to the social setting or their relationship with the listener, with examples ranging from casual to superpolite. Chapters are organized by function ("Introducing People," "Identifying Things," etc.) so that learners can absorb the most common sentence patterns used in daily life at the same time that they study casual, polite, and honorific styles. Each chapter presents three similar dialogues that show contrasting styles of speech. Detailed notes explain the grammar or usage at work in the dialogues, and quizzes at the end of each chapter allow learners to test their understanding. Best of all, the book comes with a free CD containing all the dialogues, narrated by professional Japanese actors.

Traité sur la tolérance, à l'occasion de la mort de Jean Calas (French Edition)

Traité sur la tolérance, à l'occasion de la mort de Jean Calas (French Edition) Review

Le meurtre de Calas, commis dans Toulouse avec le glaive de la justice, le 9 mars 1762, est un des plus singuliers événements qui méritent l'attention de notre âge et de la postérité. On oublie bientôt cette foule de morts qui a péri dans des batailles sans nombre, non seulement parce que c'est la fatalité inévitable de la guerre, mais parce que ceux qui meurent par le sort des armes pouvaient aussi donner la mort à leurs ennemis, et n'ont point péri sans se défendre.

Lyrics on Several Occasions (Limelight) Feature

• Published by Limelight Editions 422 Pages
• Hardcover by Ira Gershwin

One of the most distinguished lyric-writers of his time, Ira Gershwin wrote for his brother George as well as Jerome Kern, Kurt Weill, Harold Arlen and others. Limelight presents a selection of stage and screen lyrics written for sundry situations and now arranged in arbitrary categories, to which have been added many informative annotations and disquistions on their why and wherefore, their whom-for, their how, and matters associative. "Gershwin's comments, witty and irreverent, and his anecdotes about the making of many favorites, are invariably interesting and frequently surprising." Chicago Tribune

Only a few teachers, thinkers, and writers among Gestalt therapists have succeeded in extending its beautiful groundbreaking theory and practice which originally appeared in Perls, Hefferline & Goodman’s Gestalt Therapy which published in 1951. Among this small group Jean-Marie Robine, who lives in Bordeaux, France, stands out as one of the most inventive and important figures on the current scene. Robine’s special gift as a theorist is a sensibility that moves with ease from the philosopher’s absorption in the task of fine-tuning concepts to the clinician’s fascination with the nuances of feeling and behavior. The essays in this book illuminate one facet of Gestalt therapy after another from fresh points of view. Despite Robine’s taste for the philosophical, there are passages of personal reflection alongside samples drawn from individual and group sessions, so that one comes away from the book with a sense of intimate connection between his development as a theorist and his experience as a therapist. On the Occasion of an Other is a work of value for not only the Gestalt therapists, but also for all psychotherapists who use an existential-humanistic approach in their clinical practice.
