Normalmente, resulta complicado encontrar los términos adecuados para verbalizar el propio pensamiento pero, cuando la situación de comunicación se produce ante un público, la dificultad para expresarse correctamente se acentúa. El primer capítulo de este libro está dedicado precisamente al miedo que su<: producir el hablar en público, a sus consecuencias y manifestaciones tan físicas como psicológicas. También se apuntan una serie de consejos y pautas que ayudarán al lector a superar la prueba de expresarse ante un auditorio. En posteriores capítulos, la atención se centra en cuáles son las actitudes tanto corporales como mentales para desenvolverse eficazmente en las situaciones de comunicación oral: cómo iniciar una conversación, cuáles son los beneficios de pensar positivamente en la propia capacidad de presión, qué espera el oyente de la comunicación...

"In The War That Forged a Nation, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James McPherson considers why the Civil War remains so deeply and firmly embedded within our national consciousness. The drama and tragedy of the war, from its scope and size--an estimated death toll of 750,000, not including civilians--to the nearly mythical individuals involved--Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, Frederick Douglass, Clara Barton, Stonewall Jackson among them--help to explain why the war commands and indeed compels our attention. Through twelve essays, McPherson dissects this question, exploring the war's impact across many dimensions of American life. The essays consider variously the war's causes and consequences; the morality and cost of the war in comparative context; the naval war; slavery and its abolition; and Abraham Lincoln as emancipator, political leader, and commander in chief, among many other topics. Ultimately, McPherson illuminates the impossibility of understanding the issues of our own time unless we first understand their roots in the era of the Civil War: slavery and its abolition; the conflict between the North and South; the struggle between state sovereignty and the federal government; the role of government in social change-these issues, McPherson shows, are as salient and controversial today as they were in the 1860s. Thoughtful, provocative, and authoritative, The War That Forged a Nation looks anew at the reasons America's civil war has provoked intense interest for the past century and a half, and affirms the enduring relevance of the struggle that nearly destroyed this country and most certainly continues to define it."--
