People with high conflict personalities (HCPs) clog our courts as plaintiffs with inappropriate claims against their personal "targets of blame," and as defendants who have harmed others and need to be stopped. Everybody knows someone with a High Conflict Personality. "How can he be so unreasonable?" "Why does she keep fighting? Can't she see how destructive she is?" "Can you believe they're going to court over ______?" Some HCPs are more difficult than others, but they tend to share a similar preoccupation with blame that drives them into one dispute after another—and keeps everyone perplexed about how to deal with them. Using case examples and an analysis of the general litigation and negotiation behaviors of HCPs, this book helps make sense of the fears that drive people to file lawsuits and complaints. It provides insight for containing their behavior while managing and/or resolving their disputes. Characteristics of the five "high-conflict" personality disorders are explored: Borderline Narcissistic Histrionic Paranoid Antisocial |

How does good writing stand out? If its purpose is to convey facts, findings, or instructions, it need be read only once for its content to be clear. If its purpose is to entertain or to provoke thought, it makes readers want to come back for more. Revised and updated, this guide covers four essential aspects of good writing:    •  Individual words - spelling variations, hyphenation, frequently confused homonyms, frequently misused words and phrases, irregular plurals and negatives, and uses of capitalization and type style to add special meanings    •  Punctuation - the role of each mark in achieving clarity and affecting tone, and demonstration of how misuses can lead to ambiguity    •  Syntax and structure - agreement of subject and verb, parallel construction, modifiers, tenses, pronouns, active versus passive voice, and more    •  Style - advice on the less hard-and-fast areas of clarity and tone, including sentence length and order, conciseness, simplification, reading level, jargon and clichTs, and subtlety Filled with self-test exercises and whimsical literary quotations, Grammatically Correct steers clear of academic stuffiness, focusing instead on practical strategies and intuitive explanations. Discussions are designed to get to the heart of a concept and provide a sufficient sense of when and how to use it, along with examples that show what ambiguities or misinterpretations might result if the rules are not followed. In cases where there is more than one acceptable way to do something, the approach is not to prescribe one over another but simply to describe the options. Readers of this book will never break the rules of language again - unintentionally. |

Un nouveau regard sur Le Pen : le sien   «  Mes grands-parents ne savaient pas lire mais surent donner une vie décente à leurs enfants. Ma paysanne de mère était élégante et fière, mon père, patron pêcheur taciturne, avait navigué pendant la Grande guerre, à treize ans, mousse sur un cap-hornier, ces cathédrales de toile et de bois qui affrontaient les quarantièmes rugissants. A la maison, il n’y avait pas l'eau courante mais on aimait sa famille, son pays et Dieu – et la Bretagne aussi, avec ses îles, ses navires. L’instituteur et le curé nous apprenaient à les chanter ensemble. En somme, j’étais un petit Breton heureux dans la grande France.  Puis vint la Seconde guerre mondiale. Le père est mort, la France était blessée, des curés m’ont dégoûté de Dieu. C’est alors que j’ai découvert la folie des hommes, Paris, l’université, l’Indochine, l’Assemblée nationale, l’Algérie. J’eus une épouse et des filles. La vie s’offrait, tantôt magnifique, tantôt désolante. Le petit Breton avait grandi, la France rapetissé. Pour la relever, j’ai choisi le combat politique.  » |

“A revelatory collection reminding us of what journalism used to be—and what it ought to be.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Throughout his twenty-five-year career, David Carr was noted for his sharp and fearless observations, his uncanny sense of fairness and justice, and his remarkable compassion and wit. His writing was informed both by his own hardships as an addict and his intense love of the journalist’s craft. His range—from media politics to national politics, from rock ‘n’ roll celebrities to the unknown civil servants who make our daily lives function—was broad and often timeless. Edited by his widow, Jill Rooney Carr, and with an introduction by one of the many journalists David Carr mentored, Ta-Nehisi Coates,  Final Draft  is a career-spanning selection of the legendary reporter’s writing for the  New York Times , Washington City Paper , New York Magazine, the  Atlantic , and more. “Wit, style, empathy, tough questions—it’s all here, in this collection by the one-man journalism school that was David Carr . . . Final Draft  allows us to read decades of David’s best reportage about corruption, racism, celebrity, addiction, disease, and his love for his family, his skills only outdone by his humanity.” —Jake Tapper, CNN Chief Washington Correspondent |

The acclaimed classic shows educators how to set classroom objectives, select learning experiences, organize instruction, and evaluate progress. In 1949, a small book had a big impact on education. In just over one hundred pages, Ralph W. Tyler presented the concept that curriculum should be dynamic, a program under constant evaluation and revision. Curriculum had always been thought of as a static, set program, and in an era preoccupied with student testing, he offered the innovative idea that teachers and administrators should spend as much time evaluating their plans as they do assessing their students. Since then, Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction has been a standard reference for anyone working with curriculum development. Although not a strict how-to guide, the book shows how educators can critically approach curriculum planning, studying progress and retooling when needed. Its four sections focus on setting objectives, selecting learning experiences, organizing instruction, and evaluating progress. Readers will come away with a firm understanding of how to formulate educational objectives and how to analyze and adjust their plans so that students meet the objectives. Tyler also explains that curriculum planning is a continuous, cyclical process, an instrument of education that needs to be fine-tuned. This emphasis on thoughtful evaluation has kept Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction a relevant, trusted companion for over sixty years. And with school districts across the nation working feverishly to align their curriculum with Common Core standards, Tyler’s straightforward recommendations are sound and effective tools for educators working to create a curriculum that integrates national objectives with their students’ needs. Praise for Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction “Tyler addresses the essential purposes of teaching in a way that still has relevance for contemporary students of education, and communicates to them how important and timeless the quality of the pupil-teacher interaction actually is.” — Times Higher Education (UK) |

This riveting work of investigative reporting and history exposes classified government projects to build gravity-defying aircraft--which have an uncanny resemblance to flying saucers. The atomic bomb was not the only project to occupy government scientists in the 1940s. Antigravity technology, originally spearheaded by scientists in Nazi Germany, was another high priority, one that still may be in effect today. Now for the first time, a reporter with an unprecedented access to key sources in the intelligence and military communities reveals suppressed evidence that tells the story of a quest for a discovery that could prove as powerful as the A-bomb. The Hunt for Zero Point explores the scientific speculation that a "zero point" of gravity exists in the universe and can be replicated here on Earth. The pressure to be the first nation to harness gravity is immense, as it means having the ability to build military planes of unlimited speed and range, along with the most deadly weaponry the world has ever seen. The ideal shape for a gravity-defying vehicle happens to be a perfect disk, making antigravity tests a possible explanation for the numerous UFO sightings of the past 50 years. Chronicling the origins of antigravity research in the world's most advanced research facility, which was operated by the Third Reich during World War II, The Hunt for Zero Point traces U.S. involvement in the project, beginning with the recruitment of former Nazi scientists after the war. Drawn from interviews with those involved with the research and who visited labs in Europe and the United States, The Hunt for Zero Point journeys to the heart of the twentieth century's most puzzling unexplained phenomena. |

En quarante et un chapitres courts, vivants, nourris de nombreuses données facilement lisibles par de multiples tableaux et graphiques, il offre un outil indispensable à ceux qui entrent dans l’enseignement supérieur. Au-delà, il traite de la démocratie, de notre histoire, de la France d’aujourd’hui d’une façon originale.

La démocratie moderne est vue dans sa double composante, gouvernante et délibérante. Un récit animé rend compte de l’étonnante histoire constitutionnelle de la France. Sont analysés en contrepoint les systèmes politiques d’une dizaine d’autres régimes, ce qui permet de proposer un modèle d’explication du fonctionnement du pouvoir. La seconde moitié de l’ouvrage analyse l’originalité du pouvoir politique en France. Son attribution, ni à l’américaine ni à l’européenne, mais dans un curieux mélange des deux. Son exercice, cas unique de « présidentialisme démocratique ». Sa limitation, interne, par la distinction entre les pouvoirs qui se renforce, externe, par la démocratie locale ou le développement de l’Union européenne. La présente édition, dont plusieurs chapitres ont été entièrement refondus, intègre les développements les plus récents dans le vaste ensemble des pays étudiés et en France. GUILLAUME TUSSEAU Professeur de droit public à l’École de droit de Sciences Po, membre de l’Institut universitaire de France et ancien membre du Conseil supérieur de la magistrature. Ses recherches et ses enseignements portent sur le droit constitutionnel, le droit comparé et la théorie du droit. |

“Though ours is an age of high technology, the essence of what engineering is and what engineers do is not common knowledge. Even the most elementary of principles upon which great bridges, jumbo jets, or super computers are built are alien concepts to many. This is so in part because engineering as a human endeavor is not yet integrated into our culture and intellectual tradition. And while educators are currently wrestling with the problem of introducing technology into conventional academic curricula, thus better preparing today’s students for life in a world increasingly technological, there is as yet no consensus as to how technological literacy can best be achieved. " I believe, and I argue in this essay, that the ideas of engineering are in fact in our bones and part of our human nature and experience. Furthermore, I believe that an understanding and an appreciation of engineers and engineering can be gotten without an engineering or technical education. Thus I hope that the technologically uninitiated will come to read what I have written as an introduction to technology. Indeed, this book is my answer to the questions 'What is engineering?' and 'What do engineers do?'" - Henry Petroski,  To Engineer Is Human |

Engage Your Readers with Emotion While writers might disagree over showing versus telling or plotting versus pantsing, none would argue this: If you want to write strong fiction, you must make your readers feel. The reader's experience must be an emotional journey of its own, one as involving as your characters' struggles, discoveries, and triumphs are for you. That's where The Emotional Craft of Fiction comes in. Veteran literary agent and expert fiction instructor Donald Maass shows you how to use story to provoke a visceral and emotional experience in readers. Topics covered include:    • emotional modes of writing    • beyond showing versus telling    • your story's emotional world    • moral stakes    • connecting the inner and outer journeys    • plot as emotional opportunities    • invoking higher emotions, symbols, and emotional language    • cascading change    • story as emotional mirror    • positive spirit and magnanimous writing    • the hidden current that makes stories move Readers can simply read a novel...or they can experience it. The Emotional Craft of Fiction shows you how to make that happen. |
