Àííîòàöèÿ: Speechreading: A Way to Improve Understanding discusses the nature and process of speechreading, its benefits, and its limitations. This useful book clarifies commonly-held misconceptions about speechreading. The beginning chapters address difficult communication situations and problems related to the speaker, the speechreader, and the environment. It then offers strategies to manage them. Speechreading provides practical exercises illustrating the use of these communication strategies in actual situations. It is an excellent book for late-deafened adults, their families and friends, parents of children with hearing loss, and professionals and students×òåíèå ïî ãóáàì êàê ñïîñîá óëó÷øèòü ïîíèìàíèå ðå÷è äëÿ ñëàáîñëûøàùèõ

Àííîòàöèÿ: The short story has developed into Canada s healthiest and most versatile literary genre. Several Canadian novelists - Morley Callaghan and Hugh Garner, for example - are better known abroad for their short stories than for their novels. And many of Canada s best authors write virtually nothing but short stories: Mavis Gallant, Norman Levine, Alice Munro, W.D. Valgardson, and others.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The time is May, 1810, deep into the Napoleonic Wars. Hornblower, newly in command of his first ship of the line is on his way to Spain with a ragtag, brutish crew. All their seamanship and all of Hornblower s ingenuity are demanded when the Sutherland takes on four French men-of-war.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The ship is the British light cruiser Artemis, the time is half way through WW II, the location is the Mediterranean, where the Artemis is enroute to Malta. An uneventful afternoon turns into a lethal night action when a major strike force of the Italian fleet moves in to attack. The book is an excellent description of a fighting ship and of the complex mechanism, trained manpower and careful organization necessary in combat. The graphically detailed account leads to a dramatic climax.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Talisman is Sir Walter Scott s tale of the Crusades -- a tale of chivalry, of violence, of virtue, romance, and deceit. In Scott's own words: ...the warlike character of Richard I, wild and generous, a pattern of chivalry, with all its extravagant virtues, and its no less absurd errors, was opposed to that of Saladin, in which the Christian and English monarch showed all the cruelty and violence of an Eastern sultan, and Saladin, on the other hand, displayed the deep policy and prudence of a European sovereign, whilst each contended which should excel the other in the knightly qualities of bravery and generosity. This singular contrast afforded, as the author conceived, materials for a work of fiction possessing peculiar interest.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Perhaps the finest and certainly the most readable of Scott's Waverley novels, Old Mortality is a swift-moving historical romance that pits an anachronistically liberal hero against the forces of fanaticism in seventeenth-century Scotland - the period notorious as "the killing time." Its central character, Henry Morton, finds himself torn between his love for a royalist's granddaughter and his loyalty to his oppressed countrymen.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This volume, edited and with a superb introduction by W.H. Auden and Norman Holmes Pearson, presents the greatest of the Romantics in all the fullness and ardor of their vision, including William Blake, Robert Burns, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Edgar Allan Poe. What emerges is a panoramic view of a generation of artists struggling to remake the world in their own image—and miraculously succeeding.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Sailing the frigate LYDIA in South American waters,Captain Hornblower has orders to track down and sink the NATIVIDAD, a Spanish two-decker of almost double his firepower. But this proved the least of his worries-for he is also commanded to aid the colonial revolutionary El Supremo, a messianic madman whose whimsical bestialities stagger even the ruthless Spanish authorities

Àííîòàöèÿ: 147 poets in a far-ranging survey of the Victorian age s significant poetic achievements. The pleasures of Victorian poetry lie in its multitude of lyric and dramatic voices and, above all, in its rhythmic power and subtlety. Nowhere else can these reading pleasures be better enjoyed than in the pages of Daniel Karlin s enormous selection of poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Ranging from the late Romantic period to the brink of high modernism, The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse features a generous sampling of poems.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Dispatched to northern waters to protect Britain's Baltic interests, Horatio Hornblower must halt the advance of Napoleon's empire into Sweden and Russia. With the fate of Europe balanced on a knife edge, the responsibility lies heavy on a Commodore's shoulders. This is the eighth of eleven books chronicling the adventures of Horatio Hornblower.
