The art of manipulation: how to get what you want out of people in business, in your personal life, and in your love life - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: HAVE YOU WONDERED why some people nearlyalways get what they want from other people, whileyou can only manage to do so every now and then? Icertainly have, and that question had badgered mefor years.Why can one person close the big business dealwhere ninety-five percent of the people who triedhave failed? Why can some men charm and manipu-late women into almost anything, when otherscouldn't get the time of day from them? Why do cer-I2 THE ART OF MANIPULATIONtain women seem to get anything they want frommen? Surely it comes down to the fact that thesepeople are shrewd in the art of manipulating and han-dling people. But how do they do it? What are theirtechniques?As an answer, this book reports the tactics thesemanipulators use to get what they want in businesssituations as well as in their personal lives-much ofit in their own words. And it's all tried-and-truestreet wisdom, not the kind of thing you customarilyread in books. As a result, you'll find it natural to putthese tactics to work getting what you want frompeople. They're more comfortable in action, anyway,than they are lying dormant on the written page.The sole criterion: Does it work?Any method I report here can be judged by onlyone criterion: Does it work well enough to get mewhat I want? These tactics need not be moral, inspir-ing, or philosophically sound. They just have towork. Otherwise the manipulators who tutored me inthe art of "people-handling" would have long ago dis-carded them. What remains is the distilled street wis-dom of people who either prospered or starvedaccording to their ability to persuade others againsttheir will. I believe their straight-from-the-jungletechniques will work better for you than the ivorytower, armchair theorizing done by most books onthe subject.
Tell Me the Story of How I Conquered You: Elsewheres and Ethnosuicide in the Colonial Mesoamerican World (Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art and Culture) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Folio 46r from Codex Telleriano-Remensis was created in the sixteenth century under the supervision of Spanish missionaries in central Mexico. As an artifact of seismic cultural and political shifts, the manuscript painting is a singular document of indigenous response to Spanish conquest. Examining the ways in which the folio's tlacuilo (indigenous painter/writer) creates a pictorial vocabulary, this book embraces the place "outside" history from which this rich document emerged.Applying contemporary intellectual perspectives, including aspects of gender, modernity, nation, and visual representation itself, José Rabasa reveals new perspectives on colonial order. Folio 46r becomes a metaphor for reading the totality of the codex and for reflecting on the postcolonial theoretical issues now brought to bear on the past. Ambitious and innovative (such as the invention of the concepts of elsewheres and ethnosuicide, and the emphasis on intuition), Tell Me the Story of How I Conquered You embraces the performative force of the native scribe while acknowledging the ineffable traits of 46r--traits that remain untenably foreign to the modern excavator/scholar. Posing provocative questions about the unspoken dialogues between evangelizing friars and their spiritual conquests, this book offers a theoretic-political experiment on the possibility of learning from the tlacuilo ways of seeing the world that dislocate the predominance of the West.

Anything School Can Do You Can Do Better: The Story of a Family Who Learned at Home, Revised Edition - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In the late 1940s, when our family began, ‘early cognitive learning’ was not supposed tobe possible. It was taken for granted that real learning happened-in school, and thatschool was a good thing; the more of it everyone could get, the better.Now, in the early 1980s, many people, though not all, have come to change their mindsradically on both questions. It happens that our experience cuts across both trends. Ourchildren began to learn early, and they learnt at home, not at school, until the age of eightor nine. Now that the youngest of our eleven children has just finished school, it seemsthat the learning they did in those few years at home has been much more relevant totheir later careers than anything they did in primary school. As for post- primary school,some gained some benefit, when they were lucky enough to meet a good teacher with asmall class; two at least were harmed; on the whole, the experience was irrelevant.The first part of this book tells about the early learning; how it was prompted, and ageneral survey of how we all went about it. Anyone who wants to make use of ourexperience will find more detail in the chapter called Resources, towards the end.The next section gives a short account of each of the children, just to tie up thebeginnings with their life after school. It might be easier to keep track of the peoplemoving through the first story if you turn to these chapters if confused.Then comes ‘The Debate about Reading’ with a chapter to itself. This is a subject,which, in the English-speaking world, generates vast amounts of argument. There arethose who think reading is too delicate a matter for parents to meddle in and there areothers who think that parents should be enlisted to help the school. There are those whothink it should be taught in kindergarten, and others who vehemently disagree. I have justcome across this judgment, made in 1970 by Dr Hans Furth, a psychologist at theCatholic University of America, Washington, DC.Mark well these twin conditions: learn reading and forget your intellect. The average fiveto nine year old, from any environment, is unlikely, when busy with reading and writing,to engage his intellectual powers to any degree.Even to copy that sentence makes my blood pressure rise. And on top of the disagreementabout when reading should be taught, and by whom, there are entrenched views about thebest methods. We used four different methods; though each did well enough one of themseemed decidedly more satisfactory than the others; it is appropriate only to the home. Inthe first draft of this book I found that while I was trying to describe our experience I wasalso getting caught up in arguments on all fronts at once. This time round I have tried togive a straight account of the different methods in the first part of the book and keep allthe arguments and references to research which I discovered later on safely shut up in achapter of their own.
Tricks of the Trade: How to Think about Your Research While You're Doing It - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Drawing on more than four decades of experience as a researcher and teacher, Howard Becker now brings to students and researchers the many valuable techniques he has learned. Tricks of the Trade will help students learn how to think about research projects. Assisted by Becker's sage advice, students can make better sense of their research and simultaneously generate fresh ideas on where to look next for new data. The tricks cover four broad areas of social science: the creation of the "imagery" to guide research; methods of "sampling" to generate maximum variety in the data; the development of "concepts" to organize findings; and the use of "logical" methods to explore systematically the implications of what is found. Becker's advice ranges from simple tricks such as changing an interview question from "Why?" to "How?" (as a way of getting people to talk without asking for a justification) to more technical tricks such as how to manipulate truth tables.Becker has extracted these tricks from a variety of fields such as art history, anthropology, sociology, literature, and philosophy; and his dazzling variety of references ranges from James Agee to Ludwig Wittgenstein. Becker finds the common principles that lie behind good social science work, principles that apply to both quantitative and qualitative research. He offers practical advice, ideas students can apply to their data with the confidence that they will return with something they hadn't thought of before.Like Writing for Social Scientists, Tricks of the Trade will bring aid and comfort to generations of students. Written in the informal, accessible style for which Becker is known, this book will be an essential resource for students in a wide variety of fields."An instant classic. . . . Becker's stories and reflections make a great book, one that will find its way into the hands of a great many social scientists, and as with everything he writes, it is lively and accessible, a joy to read."—Charles Ragin, Northwestern University
