GentleManners Books Série

This easily accessible book focuses on those moments when knowing exactly what to say is an absolutely necessary challenge. From the light-hearted "how to react when someone turns you down for a date" or "what to say when you notice someone's fly is open" to the more serious "what to say to a co-worker who has had a miscarriage or to a friend who has suffered the sudden death of a parent," As A Gentleman Would Say differs from other etiquette books in that it not only offers suggestions for the correct thing to say in more than 100 social situations-it also gives examples of the wrong thing to say!

This GentleManners book is divided into sections about specific items of clothing and specific accessories. It also delves into the different types of events to which a gentleman may find himself invited.

Offers advice on traditional etiquette, such as how to order a bottle of wine, as well as modern points of etiquette, including airport security and Blackberry usage.

Být ženou neznamená automaticky být také dámou. Výraz dáma nabyl za posledních sto let mnoha nových a odlišných významů. Způsoby chování, postoje, správné ošacení a společenské mravy se změnily tak dramaticky, že to, jak naše babičky definovaly pojem dáma, stěží odpovídá dnešním očekáváním. Překotný vývoj moderní ženy během uplynulého století s sebou přinesl jak zmatek, tak naplnění. Dáma, jak ji chápeme dnes, si uvědomuje, že její vybrané chování, vysoká úcta, kterou má k sobě i ostatním, a upřímná slova chvály a pozornosti jsou odrazem jejích pevných hodnot a staví ji do popředí v myslích a srdcích lidí, kteří ji znají. Být považována za "dámu" může být jednou z největších lichotek, jichž se ženě v životě může dostat.
