Title: [Spanish] - Ni por favor ni por favora: Cómo hablar con lenguaje inclusivo sin que se note (demasiado) Author: María Martín Barranco Narrator: Aneta Fernandez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 38 minutes Release date: May 1, 2024 Genres: Language Instruction Publisher's Summary: “Los niños que terminen pueden ir al recreo”, dice la maestra. Julia se queda sentada en su pupitre hasta que le explican que con “niños” la maestra se refiere también a las niñas. Más tarde, en gimnasia, el profesor dice: “Los niños que quieran formar parte del equipo de fútbol que levanten la mano”. Julia alza la mano, pero el profesor, incómodo, le dice que se refería solo a los niños. Julia está estupefacta; no entiende nada. Como la niña de esta anécdota, todas las mujeres tienen que aprender a deducir desde pequeñas cuándo están incluidas y cuándo no en el masculino genérico. La realidad es que se educa de modo distinto a unas y otros, se nombran de modo diferente, se naturaliza la diferencia cultural como resultado artificial de las diferencias biológicas. ¿A qué nos referimos cuando hablamos de lenguaje inclusivo? ¿Es lo mismo que lenguaje “políticamente correcto” o no tiene nada que ver? ¿Cómo comunicarnos sin dejar fuera del discurso a la mitad de la población? ¿Cómo expresarnos de forma correcta, amena y comprensible sin discriminar a nadie? ¿Es nuestro lenguaje sexista? ¿Y las autoridades encargadas de darle esplendor? En este libro no encontrarás propuestas extremas ni definitivas, pero sí muchas herramientas para comenzar a utilizar el lenguaje inclusivo de forma sencilla, con multitud de ejemplos y mucho humor. Porque la solución está en la punta de la lengua. Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano.

Title: Rebel with a Clause: Tales and Tips from a Roving Grammarian Author: Ellen Jovin Narrator: Ellen Jovin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: July 19, 2022 Genres: Language Instruction Publisher's Summary: For fans of Mary Norris and Benjamin Dreyer, an unconventional guide to the English language drawn from the cross-country adventures of an itinerant grammarian. When Ellen Jovin first walked outside her Manhattan apartment building and set up a folding table with a GRAMMAR TABLE sign, it took about thirty seconds to get her first visitor. Everyone had a question for her. Grammar Table was such a hit—attracting the attention of the New York Times, NPR, and CBS National News—that Jovin soon took it on the road, traveling across the US to answer questions from writers, lawyers, editors, businesspeople, students, bickering couples, and anyone else who uses words in this world. In Rebel with a Clause, Jovin tackles what is most on people’s minds, grammatically speaking—from the Oxford comma to the places prepositions can go, the likely lifespan of whom, semicolonphobia, and more. Punctuated with linguistic debates from tiny towns to our largest cities, this grammar romp will delight anyone wishing to polish their prose or revel in our age-old, universal fascination with language. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

How do you disagree without hard feelings? How do you debate in a way that moves the topic forward to an answer? Arguments matter, because we have them every day. We do it with loved ones and at work, over which restaurant to go to and which social viewpoint is right or fair. We trust the people we elect to argue on our behalf. We trust the news to dissect the arguments different parties are proposing. We have a system of justice which trusts the better argument will win out. Once, argument was taught and celebrated as a fundamental part of being a good citizen. But it isn’t anymore, and often we struggle to argue without furthering divisions, without hurt feelings or a useful progression of ideas at stake. As a two-time world debate champion, Bo Seo has made a career out of arguing well. In this book, he provides the reader with an unforgettable toolkit to improve their own disagreements, so that the outcome of having an argument is better than not having it at all. A thrilling adventure into the past and present of competitive debate, Good Arguments proves that good-faith disagreements can enrich our friendships, workplaces, and democracies — and in the process, our world.

Serious Face: Essays by Jon Mooallem

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/543949 [https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/543949] to listen full audiobooks. Title: Serious Face: Essays Author: Jon Mooallem Narrator: Jon Mooallem Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 31 minutes Release date: May 17, 2022 Genres: Language Instruction Publisher's Summary: From the discovery of the author’s face in a century-old photograph to a triple-amputee hospice director working at the border of life and death, here are thirteen hopeful, heartbreaking, and profound essays from “one of the most intelligent, compassionate, and curious authors working today” (Elizabeth Gilbert). ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Kirkus Reviews Beneath the self-assured and serious faces we wear, every human life is full of longing, guesswork, and confusion—a scramble to do the best we can and make everything up as we go along. In these wide-ranging essays, Jon Mooallem chronicles the beauty of our blundering and the inescapability of our imperfections. He investigates the collapse of a multimillion-dollar bird-breeding scam run by an aging farmer known as the Pigeon King, intimately narrates a harrowing escape from California’s deadliest wildfire, visits an eccentric Frenchman building a town at what he claims is the center of the world, shadows a man through his first day of freedom after twenty-one years in prison, and more—all with a deep conviction that it’s our vulnerability, not our victories, that connect us. Mooallem’s powers of perception have established him as one of the most distinctive, empathic, and clear-sighted narrative journalists working today. The Wall Street Journal has called his writing “as much art as it is journalism,” and Jia Tolentino has praised his “grace and command.” In Serious Face, Mooallem brings to life the desperate hopes and urgent fears of the people he meets, telling their stories with empathy, humor, insight, and kindness. These elegant, moving essays form an idiosyncratic tapestry of human experience: our audacity and fallibility, our bumbling and goodwill. In moments of calamity and within the extreme absurdity of everyday life, can we learn to love the people we really are, behind the serious faces we show the world?
