Plax’ Public Speaking in a Diverse Society:* Takes the position that public speaking is a lot like normal conversation. It frames public speaking around a communication-based model of public speaking, which includes the source (speaker), message (speech), channel (face-to-face or via media), receivers (audience), feedback (audience response), and context (time, place, and occasion).* Moves beyond a generic approach to the teaching of public speaking to one that reflects the cultural diversity of the United States. This attention to cultural diversity has been an integral part of our approach from the start, and it pervades the entire text.* Includes updates, new content, and organization based on the feedback from many adopting instructors.* Is student friendly! Building Your Skills boxes present practical tips and strategies; Assessing Yourself boxes help students evaluate their knowledge about public speaking, and; A Close Look boxes highlight examples and topics of special interest.* Integrates Questions for Critical Thinking and Review to give students an opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills and to delve more deeply into some of the issues raised.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 100950021X | 84 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB
This Element reviews varieties of capitalism (VoC) developed by Hall and Soskice and subsequent extensions to emerging markets. The author suggests that by reinvigorating existing ideal types and creating new ones through an analysis of its five variables in a variety of countries VoC can be used to evaluate the viability of economic reforms in each country, based on lessons from other countries belonging to their ideal type. It illustrates the utility of VoC in understanding how reforms will differ across countries by examining how the future of work is likely to differ across nations depending on the degree to which the five institutions explored in this approach promote the standardization of tasks. It analyzes how these institutions shape degrees of standardization in the United States, Germany, and Brazil, offering suggestions for reforms in each of them.

2010 | 428 Pages | ISBN: 1442203439 | PDF | 3 MB
With innovative new chapters on process tracing, regression analysis, and natural experiments, the second edition of Rethinking Social Inquiry further extends the reach of this path-breaking book. The original debate with King, Keohane, and Verba_now updated_remains central to the volume, and the new material illuminates evolving discussions of essential methodological tools. Thus, process tracing is often invoked as fundamental to qualitative analysis, but is rarely applied with precision. Pitfalls of regression analysis are sometimes noted, but often are inadequately examined. And the complex assumptions and trade-offs of natural experiments are poorly understood. The second edition extends the methodological horizon through exploring these critical tools. A distinctive feature of this edition is the online placement of four chapters from the prior edition, all focused on the dialogue with King, Keohane, and Verba.
