Speaking in Tongues

Speaking in Tongues by J. M. Coetzee, Mariana Dimópulos
English | May 6th, 2025 | ISBN: 1324096454 | 144 pages | True EPUB | 0.58 MB
Lit Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2025

In this provocative dialogue, a Nobel laureate novelist and a leading translator investigate the nature of language and the challenges of translation.
"An intelligent, moving, and supremely humane act of criticism that reveals just how difficult and wondrous it can be to inhabit a language that is not your own." - Merve Emre
Language, historically speaking, has always been slippery. Two dictionaries provide two different maps of the universe: which one is true, or are both false? Speaking in Tongues-taking the form of a dialogue between Nobel laureate novelist J. M. Coetzee and eminent translator Mariana Dimópulos-examines some of the most pressing linguistic issues that plague writers and translators well into the twenty-first century.
The authors address questions that we must answer in order to understand contemporary society. They inquire if one can truly love an acquired language, and they question why certain languages, like Spanish, have gender differences built into them. They examine the threat of monolingualism and ask how we can counter, if at all, the global spread of the English language, which seems to maraud like a colonial power. They question whether it should be the duty of the translator to remove morally objectionable, misogynistic, or racist language. And in the conclusion, Coetzee even speculates whether it's only mathematics that can tell the truth about everything.
Drawing from decades of experience in the craft of language, both Dimópulos and Coetzee face the reality, as did Walter Benjamin over a century ago in his seminal essay "The Task of the Translator," that when it comes to self-expression, some things will always get lost in translation. Speaking in Tongues finally emerges as an engaging and accessible work of philosophy, shining a light on some of the most important linguistic and philological issues of our time.

Spinoza, New Materialism and the Contemporary (ePUB)

Spinoza, New Materialism and the Contemporary
by Kimberly DeFazio
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1349699446 | 184 Pages | True ePUB | 0.3 MB

Spinoza, New Materialism and the Contemporary is a book about change. Through its border passing interpretations, it not only transforms the dominant contemporary views of Spinoza but, more significantly, it puts into question the assumptions of those that have produced the dominant view, such as Althusser, Negri, Deleuze, as well as the new materialism and the ontological turn, including Latour, Bennett and Braidotti. These interpretations deploy Spinoza as a trope by which they suspend the class contradictions of capitalism and construct a new spiritual capitalism. This book, through materialist analysis of Spinoza, puts class back in cultural theory.

Spitfire in Combat

Alfred Price - Spitfire in Combat
Sutton Publishing | 2003 | ISBN: 0750931604 | English | 196 pages | PDF | 154.17 MB
The Supermarine Spitfire is probably the most famous fighter aircraft of all time, with a distinctive shape and sound that mark it out from most other aircraft of the World War II period. Alfred Price employs first-hand accounts to evoke a series of snapshots of the Spitfire, showing what it was really like to fly this legendary aircraft in combat. From the biplane era of the 1930s to the Jet Age of the 1950s the Spitfire, through continuous adaptation and development, proved itself the equal of any of its competitors, whether friend or foe. The author explores important aspects of the Spitfire's evolution, from the specially modified "speed" Spitfire of 1938 to the history of the top scoring Spitfire, EN398, and the postwar Spitfire PR19 recce missions over China.

SS-Hitlerjugend The History of the Twelfth SS Division 1943-45

Rupert Butler - SS-Hitlerjugend: The History of the Twelfth SS Division 1943-45
Spellmount | 2003 | ISBN: 1862271933 | English | 192 pages | PDF | 70.78 MB
The divisions of the Waffen-SS were the elite of Hitler's armies in World War II. SS-Hitlerjugend is an in-depth examination of the unit formed in 1943 from veterans of the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler Division and members of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) organization. The majority of the recruits were 17-year-old volunteers who were fanatically devoted to the Nazi cause and to Hitler personally. The book explores the background to the unit's formation, the type of young men it recruited, the key figures involved in the division and its organization. It also looks at the uniforms and insignia that members of the division wore to distinguish themselves on the battlefield.

SS-Hitlerjugend also provides a full combat record of the division, which fought on both fronts in World War II. The book outlines the unit's involvement in the defence of Normandy, when Allied troops were shocked by the youth of the enemy and their willingness to accept appalling losses; the battle for Caen and the catastrophe of the Falaise Gap; refitting in Germany before the Ardennes offensive; and its service on the Eastern Front at the end of the war, fighting to recapture Budapest.
Illustrated with rare photographs, SS-Hitlerjugend is a definitive history of one of Nazi Germany's most fanatical fighting units.

Stakeholder Whispering Uncover What People Need Before Doing What They Ask

Stakeholder Whispering: Uncover What People Need Before Doing What They Ask by Bill Shander
English | April 29th, 2025 | ISBN: 1394289529 | 256 pages | True EPUB | 2.54 MB
Learn to uncover what your managers, clients, customers and other stakeholders need before doing what they ask

People don't know what they need. The wants we communicate to others are shaped by our subconscious and the familiar, and limited by what we think is possible. But they don't always reflect our actual needs.
In Stakeholder Whispering: Uncover What People Need Before Doing What They Ask, author Bill Shander demonstrates how to get from your stakeholders' "order"-what they're asking for-to what they really need. You'll learn how to uncover the needs and desires of your clients, colleagues, bosses, customers, and other stakeholders based on what they ask for and how they ask for it, and how to deliver products and services that meet those needs.
Inside the book:
* Help your stakeholders accomplish their goals and make the best decisions possible by helping them see what they really need
* Shift from executing on tactics driven by others' commands, to strategic action driven by underlying needs
* Transform your organization from one filled with "order-takers" into one where people work collaboratively to meet goal-oriented requirements
Perfect for managers, executives, and other business leaders, Stakeholder Whispering will also earn a place on the bookshelves of entrepreneurs, founders, designers, product and project managers, UX experts, data and business analysts, and anyone else hoping to better meet the expectations of their coworkers, managers, clients, and customers.

Stars to Steer By Celebrating the 20th Century Women Who Went to Sea

Stars to Steer By: Celebrating the 20th Century Women Who Went to Sea by Julia Jones
English | May 8th, 2025 | ISBN: 1399415468 | 336 pages | True EPUB | 5.35 MB
The extraordinary stories of the fearless women who set their sights on the sea in an all-male world, paving the way for the female sailing superstars of today.

Gender issues are stark at sea. Historically a ship's crew is all male, and although vessels are referred to as 'she', women's contributions to sailing have been largely ignored, if not actively opposed. Today's sailing legends such as Tracey Edwards and Ellen MacArthur compete with men on equal terms, but they stand on the shoulders of many women before them, who had to challenge preconceptions, prejudice and even the law in their wish to sail.
Spanning the 19th century to today, Julia Jones dives into the lives of an array of incredible and unconventional women: we meet single-handed sailors, wealthy explorers, long-suffering wives and penniless chancers with a thirst for adventure. Each had to face down barriers of official exclusion, family-imposed restriction, social disapproval and often a resulting lack of self-belief.
In the 21st-century, British women wear Admiral's uniforms and break global yachting records, yet their journey to professional sailing remains challenging, and the public face of sailing remains mostly male - evident in the lack of female Commodores in prestigious yacht clubs. Even as sailing becomes more accessible, the remarkable contributions within these stories are a precious source of inspiration to all women facing their own challenges today.

Start with Why How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, 15th Anniversary...

Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, 15th Anniversary Edition by Simon Sinek
English | May 13th, 2025 | ISBN: 9798217045648 | 264 pages | True EPUB | 2.51 MB
The inspiring, life-changing bestseller updated for its 15th anniversary with a new foreword by the author

In 2009, Simon Sinek ignited a movement to help people find a greater sense of purpose at work and added a new word to the lexicon of business: WHY. People and companies now regularly talk about their WHY. Sinek's videos have been seen by over a billion people around the world, including more than 65 million who've watched his TED Talk based on Start With Why.
Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over?
Start With Why shows that the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way- and it's the opposite of what everyone else does.
People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common but they inspired people, not with WHAT they did...but with WHY they did it.
Sinek provides a new, easy to understand, framework that inspires people to build organizations and lead movements in a more powerful and effective way. And it all starts with WHY.
With a new foreword touching on the importance of holding onto our WHY in a distracted age, new examples, and original stories updated, this 15th anniversary edition celebrates a simple but transformative idea that has changed the way we think about leadership and legacy.

Startup Capitalism New Approaches to Innovation Strategies in East Asia (ePUB)

Startup Capitalism: New Approaches to Innovation Strategies in East Asia
by Robyn Klingler-Vidra and Ramon Pacheco Pardo
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1501780298 | 252 Pages | True ePUB | 1.44 MB

In Startup Capitalism, Robyn Klingler-Vidra and Ramon Pacheco Pardo explore the place of startups in contemporary East Asian economies.
The last few decades have seen East Asian governments provide increasing support for startups―new, high-growth, technologically oriented firms. Yet, as the authors observe, such initiatives do not necessarily benefit the growth of startups as challengers to large, established firms. Rather, they often enable startups to function as boosters for the competitiveness of these firms. Startups, in short, are both disruptors to and resources for big businesses.
Klingler-Vidra and Pacheco Pardo demonstrate this dual role by examining the evolution of startup-centric policies in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China. They show that in the region, what they call startup capitalism―an economic and political system in which startups contribute to employment, innovation, and growth―can take multiple forms. Rich with empirical detail, Startup Capitalism reveals how and why startups can end up working with―or even for―large firms to drive a country's technological capabilities.

Stay Loose: 30 Years - An Infantry Soldier's Story, Somalia, East Timor, Afghanistan, Iraq
by Adrian Hodges
English | 2025 | ASIN: B0DZ33G9J5 | 445 Pages | True ePUB | 35 MB

"Your past doesn't define you-it teaches you. Every experience is a lesson, not a life sentence."
In Stay Loose, Adrian Hodges delivers a candid reflection on three decades of service in the Australian Army, from navigating the dangers of war to the challenges beyond the battlefield.
Adrian chronicles both the highs and lows. From his battalion's deployment to Somalia's famine-stricken chaos-Australia's first major overseas operation since the Vietnam War-to participating in the nation's first lethal firefight in decades, he offers harrowing frontline insights. His memoir covers a military exchange in Malaysia, as well as service in Afghanistan and Iraq, providing an intimate view of the physical and psychological tolls faced by soldiers.
But this memoir isn't just about combat. Adrian reflects on his struggles after leaving the Army, battling uncertainty and searching for direction. His post-military career led him to work as a court recorder on several high-profile legal cases, including the investigation into the Black Hawk helicopter crash that claimed 18 military lives. He also recounts backpacking through North Africa and the Middle East, contrasting his military service with personal discovery.
Eventually re-enlisting, Adrian's return to operations and military exchanges weaves themes of brotherhood, resilience, and the strength found in family. Now a private military contractor in the UAE, he explores how his past shaped his future.
Stay Loose is a deeply personal journey of finding humour and catharsis in extraordinary circumstances, proving that past experiences offer lessons, not life sentences.

Steve Jobs In His Own Words, 2nd Edition

Steve Jobs: In His Own Words, 2nd Edition by George Beahm
English | May 13th, 2025 | ISBN: 1572843543 | 160 pages | True EPUB | 1.07 MB
Get inside the head of Steve Jobs: inventor, visionary, business mogul, and one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the world.

Drawn from more than three decades of media coverage, this tribute serves up the best, most thought-provoking insights ever spoken by Steve Jobs: more than 200 quotations that are essential reading for everyone who seeks innovative solutions and inspirations applicable to their business, regardless of size.
Jobs, who passed away on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56, cofounded Apple in 1976. He stepped down from that role in August 2011, bringing an end to one of the greatest, most transformative business careers in history. Over the years, Jobs gave countless interviews to the media, explaining what he called "the vision thing"-his unmatched ability to envision, and successfully bring to the marketplace, consumer products that people find simply irresistible.
Jobs made an indelible mark in multiple industries, and played an enormous role in creating others. Consider how Jobs and Apple shaped the following fields: personal computers (laptop and desktop), apps (for multiple electronic devices), computer animation (Pixar), music (iTunes), telecommunications (iPhone), personal digital devices (iPod), books (iBook), and tablets (iPad). Jobs was the greatest business visionary of our era.
Steve Jobs: In His Own Words is the perfect gift or reference item for everyone interested in this great American original.

It examines all aspects of the topic, from how the external world and the impact of technology makes demands upon individuals, through biological and psychological processes, to outcomes in terms of health and well-being. The process is set within a dynamic, multilevel systems and developmental lifespan perspective.

The book includes a history of the evolution of stress research and the biological systems and immune responses that translate external pressures into health outcomes. It considers the role of personality and cognition in terms of appraisal and coping strategies set within a social ecology of power and support. The role of positive psychology in terms of resilience, psychological capital, and self-compassion brings the area up to date in considering the benefits as well as the threats of stress on health and well-being. An integration of issues of importance in stress research is provided with some suggested guidelines for both research and practice. Issues around prevention and intervention are discussed to reduce stress and increase resilience in families, schools, workplaces and communities, and suggestions for the future development of the field are presented.
With an engaging style, the book is equally accessible to the layperson and the scientist, the practitioner and the academic. Providing a basis for further exploration of the vast area of stress and health, it is valuable reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students and those working in organisations with an interest in understanding and preventing or alleviating stress.

Student Notes from Latin Europe (1400-1750) A Research Companion

Student Notes from Latin Europe (1400-1750): A Research Companion
by Xander Feys, Maxime Maleux
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9789462704565 | 266 Pages | True PDF | 30 MB

The first comprehensive guide dedicated solely to research on Latin-European early modern student notes
The many preserved collections of student notes from the early modern period ? ranging from neatly maintained notebooks to barely legible scribbles crammed between lines of printed text ? hold considerable but largely untapped potential as an historical source. At the same time, the analysis of these notes poses significant challenges for scholars. This book aims to be a concise and accessible companion for scholars interested in engaging with this young and burgeoning research field. Written by a diverse group of specialists from across Europe and the US, it explores the various technical and practical aspects involved in reading, interpreting, and editing student notes, while also demonstrating how these sources can enrich various areas of historical research. Indeed, student notes reveal that early modern lecture halls were often more dynamic, diverse, and creative than we might have expected.

Studien zur hellenistischen Biographie und Historiographie

Stefan Schorn, "Studien zur hellenistischen Biographie und Historiographie"
Deutsch | 2018 | ISBN: 311044755X | PDF | pages: 524 | 4.0 mb
Die hellenistische Biographie ist eine Gattung, die noch immer unter einem schlechten Ruf zu leiden hat. Man betont ihren fiktiven, bisweilen unernsten Charakter und sieht in ihr eine Form der Unterhaltungsliteratur mit allenfalls ethisch-pädagogischer Zielsetzung. Die Aufsätze in diesem Band entwerfen ein differenzierteres Bild von der Gattung und sehen sie als eine besondere Form der Historiographie. Zu diesem Zweck rekonstruiert der Autor in Detailstudien auf der Grundlage der erhaltenen Fragmente die Arbeitsweise wichtiger hellenistischer Biographen und die Charakteristika ihrer Werke. Er untersucht die Überlieferung der Fragmente, zeigt die Konsequenzen auf, die für ihre Interpretation daraus zu ziehen sind, und erhellt das Verhältnis der Biographie zu anderen Gattungen. Seine Analysen zeigen insbesondere den Wert der Gattung als bisher vernachlässigte Quellen für die Kulturgeschichte und verdeutlichen ihre Positionierung im Rahmen der historiographischen Literatur. Der Band enthält aktualisierte Fassungen von zwölf Beiträgen der Jahre 2003-2014 sowie zwei neue Aufsätze. Zusammengenommen entwerfen sie ein vielfach neues Bild von der Gattung, das für Philologen und Historiker gleichermaßen von Interesse ist.
