"Main themes: Radical changes in appearance and life interrupts dying on schedule. This is the first meeting we recorded and the last in the Comprehensive Cancer Center clinic. The primary theme is readiness for the next step toward death and frustration at its delay. Nell's physical status is declining rapidly; it is hard for her to get in and out of a car and to walk. Her body is visibly deteriorating, plodding toward death. This is the first time she speaks in depth about the dramatic, frightening changes she sees in her body"--

Prevalent but long-neglected genres such as dialogue have recently been attracting attention in Renaissance studies. In view of the pervasive and varied nature of this genre's use in the European Renaissance, it has become crucial to widen the perspective so as to take into account more diverse approaches to this hybrid form. For this reason, Dorothea Heitsch and Jean-François Vallée have assembled a broad collection of essays by international scholars that presents comparative, interdisciplinary, and theoretical inquiry into this neglected area. The contributors ? who bring with them different linguistic, cultural, and disciplinary backgrounds ? examine dialogue from a variety of perspectives, taking into account various factors linked to the upsurge of the genre in the Renaissance. These factors include the emergence of a complex and multifarious subjectivity, the advent of modern utopias, the social and political importance of courtliness, the rise of print culture, religious and scientific controversy, the prevalence of pedagogy and rhetorical culture, the ethos of humanism, the gendering of dialogue, and Renaissance 'logocentrism.' Discussed are some of the most important works in Italian, French, German, Neo-Latin, and English, as well as some lesser known texts, making Printed Voices a truly essential volume for the Renaissance scholar.

This book introduces the new paradigm of lifelong and continual learning dialogue systems to endow dialogue systems with the ability to learn continually by themselves through their own self-initiated interactions with their users and the working environments. The authors present the latest developments and techniques for building such continual learning dialogue systems. The book explains how these developments allow systems to continuously learn new language expressions, lexical and factual knowledge, and conversational skills through interactions and dialogues. Additionally, the book covers techniques to acquire new training examples for learning new tasks during the conversation. The book also reviews existing work on lifelong learning and discusses areas for future research.

ESL Conversation Dialogues Scripts 21-30 contains dialogues featuring Australian English expressions, with a number of common expressions thrown in to challenge the student. While intermediate level and above is recommended, these dialogues can also be used to challenge beginners into improving their reading and pronunciation skills. The 10 dialogues in volume 3 feature over 200 Aussie English expressions which can give students planning to go to Australia, or those who have recently arrived, a quick crash course on common Aussie Lingo. This volume also features a bonus glossary with a brief explanation of what the Australian English words, phrases and idioms mean. Normally a glossary is not included as most native English speakers from Australia would know the meanings of the expressions used in the dialogues in the series, and would be able to explain them to students, but in an effort to help people to understand Australian English, even those native English speaking tutors and teachers who are not Australian would be able to quickly understand these dialogues and be able to teach them to others, with help from the glossary. These dialogues have been tested in private tuition lessons hundreds of times and have received great feedback from students new to Australia who are struggling to understand Australians. It is recommended that tutors add to the enjoyment of the lesson by using a strong Australian accent when reading their part of the dialogue. This series of dialogues and conversations has been released to fulfil a demand in the ESL industry for more mature style conversations for use in private tuition as well as pair or group work in the adult classroom. These have been reformatted for use on an ebook device, so users can practice reading the dialogues out loud and discuss the language used with their tutor or with each other. These eBooks contain just dialogues. It is up to the tutor to create their own lessons around these dialogues. For ESL tutors, the ideas are endless. As a tutor I've always found dialogues to be useful in vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation practice, confidence building, and more besides. Students regularly comment on how useful the dialogues are and always request more, which is why there are more sets of dialogues due out soon. I wish you all the best in teaching Australian English.

Every day, thousands of people are diagnosed with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses. Despite the best of intentions, it is not always easy to communicate well under these circumstances or find deep empathy for something one has never experienced. When is it best to speak, and when to be silent? How can someone provide real comfort, and how can relationships with loved ones facing serious illness be enhanced in this most difficult time? Written by a psychosocial oncologist and psychologist-theologian, The Art of Conversation in Cancer Care: Lessons for Caregivers offers practical suggestions for health professionals, families, and friends about talking to one who has cancer. This revised and updated second edition is organized around the themes of mortal time and healing conversation with cancer patients and their caregivers. Mortal time is not so much a specific period, but rather, the psychological experience encountering mortality that often accompanies the diagnosis of cancer. The first section of the book articulates the many ways people experience mortal time, including a range of adaptive and less adaptive methods. Next, the basic elements of healing conversation are delineated, with an emphasis on the hope that can spring from talking with a trusted companion. Empathy, listening carefully, and responding thoughtfully and compassionately are discussed. In the final section, the authors offer guidance for caregivers. This section includes material on the risks and costs of companionship as well as personal virtues that help a person navigate the demands of mortal time with their loved one. The authors discuss resilience and the consequences of absorbing suffering including empathy shift where the cancer caregiver becomes less empathic with minor illnesses in others. They conclude with the power of healing conversation in mortal time as a source of hope. Throughout, numerous patient vignettes illustrate the art of conversation in cancer medicine.

Civilizational Dialogue and Political Thought: Tehran Papers gathers together Islamic and Western scholars to answer the call of Mohammed Khatami, former president of Iran, and the United Nations General Assembly for a 'Dialogue of Civilizations, ' a global dialogue for peace. Based in international relations, comparative politics, political theory, and philosophy, the essays in this collection stand in direct challenge to Samuel Huntington's 'clash of civilizations' thesis. They testify to the urgency and the viability of the agenda of civilizational dialogue as a guidepost and ethical paradigm for the global community

This book provides a first comprehensive assessment of sectoral social dialogue practices in future EU member states. It shows that while tripartite consultative institutions have been set up in most of these countries during their transition years, and decentralised collective bargaining has started to regulate working conditions within individual enterprises, little attention has been paid to social dialogue at intermediate levels, in particular to sectoral social dialogue, which obviously remains the 'weakest link' of their industrial relations.
