Book excerpt: A revised and updated edition of the New York Times–bestselling classic on understanding body language from the author of Subtext. Body Language helps you to understand the unconscious body movements and postures that provide intimate keys to what a person is really thinking and the secrets of their true inner selves. You will learn how to read the angle of shoulders, the tilt of a head, or the tap of a foot, in order to discern whether an individual is angry, frightened, or cheerful. You will be able to use Body Language to discover the most—and least—important person in any group by the way others position themselves. The body is not able to lie, for it sends subtle signals to those who know how to read them. Body Language will even show you how to do it without others knowing you are observing them. Body Language was a huge best seller when first published and has remained in print ever since. It has been thoroughly updated and revised especially for this ebook edition.

Book excerpt: Mientras Dante caminaba en medio de aquellos pasillos rodeado de toda clase de libros; su mente se concentr tanto en esas incgnitas que realmente andaba buscando y que no lograba encontrar. Estaba tan concentrado que por un momento dej de sentir el lugar y sinti que su mente se alejaba de su cuerpo. Se encontr una vez ms en el mundo de los sueos; esos sueos que lo perseguan con ms frecuencia ltimamente. Sinti el aire clido y fuerte que le robaba su gorra y al querer cubrirse su cabeza con sus manos corpulentas su pelo se le incrustaba en ellas. Senta un olor que no descifraba y un ruido que le llegaba hasta la mdula de sus huesos. Era un ruido seco que lo torturaba. Perciba algo ms, algo que no haba sentido o visto antes. Algo que le pareca De pronto sinti un suave movimiento y una voz que haba odo antes. Era la voz de Maribella que lo estaba sacando de aquel sueo o trance. La copa se le haba cado y el contenido se haba desparramado sobre la delicada alfombra. Se sinti abochornado y dese desaparecer de inmediato; pero, la suave voz de Maribella lo tranquiliz. Lo tom de la mano y lo dirigi al sof ms prximo. Dante se dej conducir sin oponer resistencia. Todava parte de su mente deambulaba. Transcurri un buen tiempo para que se recuperara por completo. Cuando lo hizo se disculp por el dao que haba causado. Aunque Maribella le mencion que el dao era lo de menos, que lo ms importante era que se sintiera bien; Dante segua disculpndose. Para que no siguiera sintindose culpable, Maribella fue a la cocina y volvi con unos lquidos especiales para sacar manchas en alfombras. Dante se tom el tiempo de hacerlo y terminada la labor, pareci recuperar no slo su estado de nimo si no tambin su energa. Maribella observando tal cambio lo confront directamente y sin evasivas. Le pregunt que ella necesitaba saber exactamente que le haba pasado. Dante comprendiendo que si Maribella estaba de su parte no tena porque ocultarle lo que le haba pasado. Total, haba venido para eso. Poniendo cada detalle en su respectivo lugar, le explic que los sueos a que l se refera y lo que le acababa de suceder eran exactamente iguales. La nica diferencia, aclar, es que era la primera vez que le pasaba despierto. Le explic detalle por detalle de todo lo que se acordaba. Al final del relato le mencion que haba un evento que no se acordaba. Le prometi que tan pronto viniera a su mente lo escribira y se lo iba a comunicar. Maribella, despus de escuchar la narracin y haber estudiado detenidamente la lmina y ledo el pie de gravado, aquella narracin conectaba en cierto punto. Maribella le dijo, Dante vuelve a revisar ahora esta pgina detenidamente y extrae cualquier similaritud que tu mente registre. Dante hizo lo que Maribella le peda y despus de esforzar la mente hasta el lmite exclam, Maribella! Maribella! Hay algo en comn en esta pgina y mis sueos. Mira la posicin y color de las hojas, qu t observas en ellas? Cambiando de posicin y agarrando el libro, Maribella las observ detenidamente y despus de unos momentos le dijo, lo nico que puedo observar es, que da la impresin, que el pintor de esta lmina pint las hojas en una forma que representaran que un violento viento las estaba moviendo. A lo que se refiere al color se dira que es otoo o estn pasando por un tiempo de sequa. Efectivamente, le contest Dante hace unos momentos en mi sueo, si se le puede llamar as, sent un viento fuerte. Tan fuerte que me quit la gorra de mi cabeza. Adems, sent que ese viento estaba acompaado de un calor sofocante. Pareca que estaba en un lugar en el que no haba llovido por mucho tiempo; o quizs, me atrevera a decir, cerca de un lugar desrtico. Haba algo extra, algo que por primera vez se me presentaba en mis sueos. Estaba a punto de visualizar lo que era cuando cuando volv en s. Dante no quera que Maribella se sintiera mal. En verdad, l le agradec

Download or read book Children s Drawings written by Georges Henri Luquet and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: nterest in children's drawings is contemporary with the birth of modern psychology but as yet there is no psychological theory that successfully accounts for the nature of children's drawing. The two main theories, visual realism and intellectual realism, fall short. The work of Georges-Henri Luquet is important because it goes beyond both theories. Luquet's work, though important and of interest to developmental psychologists, remains untranslated to date and so is often inaccurately cited. This translation of Le Dessin Enfantin makes Luquet's ideas available to a wider readership for the first time.

Download or read book Classroom Discourse Analysis written by Frances Christie and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a model of classroom discourse analysis that uses systemic functional linguistic theory and associated genre theory to develop a view of classroom episodes as 'curriculum genres', some of which operate in turn as part of larger unities of work called 'curriculum macrogenres'. Drawing on Bernstein's work, Christie argues that two registers operate in pedagogic discourse: a regulative register, to do with the goals and directions of the discourse; and an instructional register, to do with the particular 'content' or knowledge at issue. Each can be shown to be realized in distinctive clusters of choices in the grammar. The operation of the regulative register determines the initiation, pacing, sequencing and evaluation of the overall pedagogic activity. The book sets out the its methodology in detail by reference to a number of classroom texts, and a range of school subjects. Overall, schools emerge as sites of symbolic control in a culture.

Download or read book Expanding Definitions of Giftedness written by Guadalupe Valdes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about bilingual young people who have been selected by their families to carry out the hard work of interpreting and translating to mediate communication between themselves and the outside world--between minority and majority communities. It examines the experiences of these young interpreters and the skills they develop in order to fulfill this role. The authors' purpose in this volume is to contribute to extending current definitions of gifted and talented, by proposing and offering evidence that the young people who are selected to serve as family interpreters perform at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, and environment, and should thus clearly be included in the 1993 U.S. federal definition of giftedness. They maintain that not only are these capabilities currently overlooked by existing assessment procedures, but also that there is little understanding of the ways in which the unique talents of young interpreters might be nurtured and developed in academic settings. A strong case is made that in order for such students to be identified as gifted on the basis of their bilingual abilities, the field of gifted and talented education must embrace the concept that bilingualism is a strength. The field must also make developing bilingualism a focus of programs designed to meet the needs of the increasingly multilingual student population in the United States. The research this book reports--part of a larger five-year study of giftedness through linguistic and cultural lenses, funded by OERI through the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented--was conducted by researchers whose background is very much outside the field of gifted education. Rather, their focus is on language, working within the traditions of qualitative sociolinguistics. Thus, this book offers a unique approach to the exploration of giftedness. It asks researchers and practitioners ordinarily accustomed to working with quantitative data to examine and make sense of detailed and rich analyses of students' linguistic performance, and argues that it is only by understanding the challenges of such bilingual interactions that the field of gifted and talented education can expand and reframe its vision of giftedness.
