Po tvůrčí odmlce se nyní vrací s dlouho očekávaným hororem Ruiny, aby ukázal, že je skutečným mistrem žánru s vypravěčskými schopnostmi, díky nimž Stephen King četbu románu přirovnal k jedinému dlouhému výkřiku hrůzy.

Each of the 24 units deals with communication strategies (skills) that business people need in order to be successful communicators. These strategies include showing interest and appreciation, offering assistance, telephoning, making decisions, motivating others, running meetings, handling criticism, presenting ideas, writing resumes, interviewing, emailing, and many others.

The free downloadable Teacher’s Handbook and Answer Key includes tips for using the material, complete scripts of the dialogs, answers to sequencing and matching exercises, and a section of "vocabulary cards" (sheets of 12 business-related terms that can be cut up and made into cards for practicing over 200 business terms that are used throughout the text).

Exchange programmes have been a part of US foreign relations since the nineteenth century, but it was only during and after World War II that they were applied by the US government on a large scale to influence foreign publics in support of strategic objectives.This book looks at the background, organisation, and goals of the Department of State’s most prestigious activity in this field, the Foreign Leader Program. The Program (still running as the International Visitor Leadership Program) enabled US Embassies to select and invite talented, influential ‘opinion leaders’ to visit the United States, meet their professional counterparts, and gain a broad understanding of American attitudes and opinions from around the country.By tracking the operation of the Program in three key transatlantic allies of the United States a full picture is given of who was selected and why, and how the target groups changed over time in line with a developing US-European relationship. The book therefore takes a unique in-depth look at the importance of exchanges for the extension of US ‘informal empire’ and the maintenance of the transatlantic alliance during the Cold War.
