  Rhetorik ist keine Kunst, sondern kein Problem

  Stellen Sie sich ein wunderschönes Restaurant vor, edel eingerichtet und gleichzeitig gemütlich. Es gibt die allerbesten Speisen von den besten Köchen der Welt und sie werden von perfekt geschulten Kellnern an den Tisch gebracht. Das Restaurant hat nur einen Nachteil. Es gibt wahnsinnig viele Vorschriften, bevor man überhaupt reindarf. Man muss lila-weiß angezogen sein, soll sich gerade halten, darf keinen Mundgeruch haben und die Hände nicht in die Taschen stecken. Man muss Geld in kleinen Scheinen dabei haben.Das ist mein Bild für die Welt der Rhetorik. Rein darf nur, wer die Regeln befolgt, und zwar alle Regeln. Auf der anderen Seite werden wir heute von unzähligen jungen Rednern überrollt, die sich um keine Regeln scheren. Die gehen lieber in den Naturkostimbiss um die Ecke und benehmen sich, wie sie wollen. Sie nuscheln, machen Filme mit verwackelten Bildern, fangen hinten an und vergraben ihre Hände in den Hosentaschen. Das ist kein Rück-, sondern ein Fortschritt. Solange die die Zahlen für den Lottoschein haben, den ich gestern gekauft habe, ist alles in bester Ordnung.Werden wir toleranter, werden wir lockerer. Der Inhalt zählt und eine Performance, die uns mitreißt, wie auch immer der Redner das hinbekommt. Ist es nicht toll, wie viele Menschen Reden halten wollen? Das ist gelebte Gemeinschaft! Hoch lebe die Vereinskultur, die Geburtstagsfeiern und die Tagungen, die Meetings, die Videokonferenzen, die Webinare oder Tutorials, die Filme der Influencer und Blogger! Dieses Buch will ein Dialog mit Ihnen sein. Es will Ihre Denkweise verändern, wenn Sie nach vorne müssen oder wollen. Ein Bühnenprofi zeigt Ihnen nach 30 Jahren Erfahrung die einfachsten Wege, ein Publikum für sich einzunehmen, fast ganz ohne klassische Rhetorik, ohne Körpersprachetraining und ohne ständiges Üben. Dazu lernen Sie zunächst, anders über so eine Präsentation zu denken. Dieses Buch will helfen, die Fächer in Ihrem Kopf neu zu füllen. Dieses Buch will Ihre Gedanken verändern. Holen wir den Redner aus dem Elfenbeinturm! Verschaffen wir all den Menschen, die da gekommen sind oder sich eingeschaltet haben, einen Mehrwert! Sorgen wir für Stimmung! Fesseln wir die Zuschauer. Zeigen wir ihnen die Welt von einer neuen Seite! Viel Spaß beim Entdecken von ganz viel Neuem.

  The America's Test Kitchen Cooking School Cookbook

  A landmark book from the test kitchen that has been teaching America how to cook for 20 years. We launched the America's Test Kitchen Cooking School two years ago to teach home cooks how to cook the test kitchen way, and since then thousands of students have taken our interactive video-based online courses. The America's Test Kitchen Cooking School Cookbook shares the same goal as our online school and brings all our best practices—along with 600 all-time favorite recipes—into one place so that you can become a better, more confident cook. There is no better way to learn than seeing an expert in action, so we've included over 2,500 color photos that bring you into the test kitchen so you can see how to prepare recipes step-by-step. The book starts off with an exhaustive 46-page Cooking Basics chapter that covers everything from what equipment you need (and how to care for it) to test-kitchen tricks for how to make food taste better. Then we move on to cover all the major cooking and baking categories, from meat, poultry, and pasta to breads, cakes, and pies. Illustrated Core Techniques, like how to whip egg whites, roast a chicken, or bake flawless pie dough, focus on the building block recipes everyone should know. Recipe Tutorials that each feature 20-35 color photos then walk readers through recipes that are either more complicated or simply benefit from the visual clues of step photography, like Extra-Crunchy Fried Chicken, Sticky Buns with Pecans, and Deep-Dish Apple Pie. Every chapter ends with a library of the test kitchen's all-time favorite recipes, such as Pan-Seared Steaks with Red Wine Pan Sauce, Meatballs and Marinara, Best Vegetarian Chili, Memphis-Style Barbecued Ribs, and New York-Style Cheesecake—more than 600 in total—that will allow home cooks to expand their repertoire. The America's Test Kitchen Cooking School Cookbook is a how-to-cook book that also explains why recipes succeed or fail, which makes it the ideal book for anyone looking to cook better.

  Machine Language Programming Made Simple for your Sinclair & Timex TS1000

  Launched in 1981, Sir Clive Sinclair's ZX81 - successor to his ZX80 released the year before - was designed to be a low-cost introduction to home computing for the general public. It was a hugely successful machine, with over one and a half million 'official' units being sold; many more unauthorised 'clones' were also produced, particularly in Russia and other Eastern Bloc countries of the era. One could either purchase the machine pre-built, or - as a significant number of consumers did - buy it in kit form for assembly at home at a slightly cheaper price. This 'DIY' approach, encouraged by Sinclair Research, became a core element of the computer's genetic make-up. Those who were comfortable putting together the four silicon chips and other such components were just as keen to poke around the machine's memory, learning as much as they could about its capability; the programs they would write could easily be shared once saved onto a standard audio cassette.This is one of the earliest published books addressing the subject of programming the first generation of home computers. First released in 1981 by Melbourne House it helped owners of the ZX80, ZX81 (and later the Timex TS1000) learn how to make the most of their machine, commanding the CPU directly rather than through a BASIC interpreter - an abstraction level that slowed things down considerably.This book was an entry point into advanced computer use; many who would go on to have long careers in the technology world owe their start to the tutorials and explanations featured within. As such it is an important part of computer history and remains useful for anyone interested in retro programming, particularly on the early Sinclair machines.* * *Acorn Books is proud to present its Retro Reproduction Series, a collection of classic computing works from the 1980s and 90s, lovingly reproduced in the 21st century. From standards of programming reference no self-respecting microcomputer user would want to be without, to obscure works not found in print anywhere else, these modern reprints are perfect for any connoisseur of retro computing.
