Book excerpt: SPOKEN IN WHISPERS is the autobiography of a remarkable woman.

She now spends her time travelling extensively, translating and interperating on behalf of animals for their owners. Nicci gives the reader a rare and facinating insight into the minds, emotions and bewildering behaviour of our four-legged friends, from thoroughbred stallions to sheepdogs, opening the door to their world through often hilarious, sometime poignant, but always thought-provoking adventures and encounters with the animals she has met throughout her life.

Book Synopsis Lingo by : Gaston Dorren

Download or read book Lingo written by Gaston Dorren. This book was released on 2015-12-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six thousand years. Sixty languages. One “brisk and breezy” whirlwind armchair tour of Europe “bulg[ing] with linguistic trivia” (The Wall Street Journal). Take a trip of the tongue across the continent in this fascinating, hilarious and highly edifying exploration of the many ways and whys of Euro-speaks—its idiosyncrasies, its histories, commonalities, and differences. Most European languages are descended from a single ancestor, a language not unlike Sanskrit known as Proto-Indo-European (or PIE for short), but the continent’s ever-changing borders and cultures have given rise to a linguistic and cultural diversity that is too often forgotten in discussions of Europe as a political entity. Lingo takes us into today’s remote mountain villages of Switzerland, where Romansh is still the lingua franca, to formerly Soviet Belarus, a country whose language was Russified by the Bolsheviks, to Sweden, where up until the 1960s polite speaking conventions required that one never use the word “you.” “In this bubbly linguistic endeavor, journalist and polyglot Dorren thoughtfully walks readers through the weird evolution of languages” (Publishers Weekly), and not just the usual suspects—French, German, Yiddish, irish, and Spanish, Here, too are the esoteric—Manx, Ossetian, Esperanto, Gagauz, and Sami, and that global headache called English. In its sixty bite-sized chapters, Dorret offers quirky and hilarious tidbits of illuminating facts, and also dispels long-held lingual misconceptions (no, Eskimos do not have 100 words for snow). Guaranteed to change the way you think about language, Lingo is a “lively and insightful . . . unique, page-turning book” (Minneapolis Star Tribune).

Book excerpt: “A skilled science translator, Denworth makes decibels, teslas and brain plasticity understandable to all.”—Washington Post Lydia Denworth’s third son, Alex, was nearly two when he was identified with significant hearing loss that was likely to get worse. Denworth knew the importance of enrichment to the developing brain but had never contemplated the opposite: deprivation. How would a child’s brain grow outside the world of sound? How would he communicate? Would he learn to read and write? An acclaimed science journalist as well as a mother, Denworth made it her mission to find out, interviewing experts on language development, inventors of groundbreaking technology, Deaf leaders, and neuroscientists at the frontiers of brain plasticity research. I Can Hear You Whisper chronicles Denworth’s search for answers—and her new understanding of Deaf culture and the exquisite relationship between sound, language, and learning.

Book Synopsis Spoken in Whispers by : Ian Taylor

Download or read book Spoken in Whispers written by Ian Taylor. This book was released on 2022-07-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spoken in Whispers is an anthology of 13 tales to disturb the mind and chill the blood. Written by Andrew Llewellyn and Ian Taylor, illustrated by Selene Paxton Brooks and edited by Darrell Buxton. "In the classic tradition of the Pan Books of horror, a frightfully good collection of gruesome terror tales in a modern setting... pleasingly seasoned with healthy doses of British humour, thankfully not of the politically correct kind." - Allan Bryce - Editor, Dark Side magazine "In unison, two fresh voices that echo with eeriness, drum a dread beat and dare to explore the dark hinterlands of horror." - Tony Earnshaw - Author, journalist, broadcaster Andrew Llewellyn is a freelance writer whose film essays have appeared in such genre magazines as We Belong Dead, The Fantastic Fifties, The Dark Side, Infinity and Cinema of the '70s. He is also the author of the book 'From Gothic Chills to Cult TV Thrills: The Baker and Berman Story'. Andrew and co-author Ian's involvement with the 'BHF' Books of Horror Stories in recent years influenced them to originate this anthology. After dabbling in horror fiction in the early '90s, Ian Taylor ventured into writing and editing music fanzines. Over the last five years, Ian has become a regular contributor and editorial team member of We Belong Dead magazine, also contributing to all their book releases. This led to writing for other publications such as The Dark Side, The Fantastic Fifties, Halls of Horror and Scream. His first solo book, 'All Sorts of Things Might Happen: The Films of Jenny Agutter' was released in 2021 and received good reviews. Selene Paxton-Brooks is a chaos faerie who lives in a Victorian mansion by the sea. She is a weaver of magic thread who one day picked up a pencil and doodled terrors. She found that the dark images became loved, which made her smile. She hopes to draw some more... but don't be surprised if her creations leave the page and tiptoe deep inside your head. Be aware that her dreams can easily turn into your nightmares if you don't turn the pages quickly enough...
