Oedipus The King
|
Normal Price: $11.99
Offer Price: $6.95
|
In the hands of Sophocles, the master dramatist, the anguished tale of a man fated to kill his father and marry his mother retains its power to shock and move beyond any Freudian reference.
In this new translation, performed by an outstanding cast led by Michael Sheen, the searing inevitablity facing Oedipus proves as shocking as it was 2.500 years ago when it was first presented in the theatre at Athens.

It’s the story of the Bible as you’ve never heard it before: a fast-moving overview of the most published book in history, performed by author, actor, and award-winning broadcaster Rob Lacey. Inspired by the acclaimed book and based on the live performance seen by thousands in the UK, this audio download provides a 60-minute tour of the whole Bible. It’s fast, insightful…even funny. The classic stories of Scripture are retold with vivid 21st century language—psalms as songs, the Gospels as one story, epistles as emails, and Revelation as seen through a virtual reality headset. It’s been described by one BBC producer as “storytelling at it’s very best.”

Words That Work
|
Normal Price: $20.98
Offer Price: $16.14
|
Why are some people so much better than others at talking their way into a job or out of trouble? What makes some advertising jingles cut through the clutter of our crowded memories? What's behind winning campaign slogans and career-ending political blunders? Why do some speeches resonate and endure while others arc forgotten moments after they are given?
The answers lie in the way words are used to influence and motivate, the way they connect thought and emotion. And no person knows more about the intersection of words and deeds than language architect and public-opinion guru Dr. Frank Luntz. In Words That Work, Dr. Luntz not only raises the curtain on the craft of effective language, but also offers priceless insight on how to find and use the right words to get what you want out of life. Whether your goal is to boost company sales, win political office, inspire your employees, or get that raise you deserve, Dr. Luntz has something instructive to say about how language can help. Learn about the phenomenon of transforming mere words into an effective arsenal for the war of perception we all wage each and every day.
DR FRANK LUNTZ was named the "hottest pollster in America" by the Boston Globe, and "has a special expertise, one that happens to be in demand these days" according to The New York Times. He is sought by CEOs of Fortune 100 companies, political candidates, public advocacy groups, and world leaders - just about anyone who wants to know how to say things better and more effectively. Dr. Luntz has supervised more than 1,200 surveys and focus groups in twenty countries, and has engineered some of the most potent political and corporate campaigns of the last decade.

Gemma Jericho is an overworked New York doctor with a handful of a teenaged daughter and a meddlesome mother. So when her mother receives a letter of a mysterious inheritance in Tuscany, Gemma sees her chance. She throws caution to the winds and the three leave for Italy. She hopes that a change of scenery will bring back the closeness she used to share with her daughter and give her mother something to worry about beyond Gemmas social life.
What they encounter in Tuscany is a crumbling old villa and a town divided. Half the residents believe that Ben Raphael, another American, is the rightful inheritor of the villa. As cultures clash, gossip soars, and intrigue unfolds, Gemma is caught up in the most disturbing and delicious trouble shes ever had.
Elizabeth Adler is the internationally acclaimed author of fourteen novels and is a frequent traveler to Tuscany. Although the town of Bella Piacere is fictional, many of the restaurants, shops, and hotels in Summer in Tuscany are real. She lives in Southern California.
