Aristotle's timeless Rhetoric is the foundation of this modern college text on how to speak effectively in the workplace, in business, and in the public forum. This text is easy for beginning students to follow and offers a wealth of practical examples and suggestions. The authors discuss many aspects of public speaking: Aristotle's view that the objective of all speeches is to persuade, the early idea of adapting a mix of appeals to an audience, ethical appeal to an audience, paraverbal language as a meaning-modifier, and, as the modern day demands, there is a discussion of the need to respect cultural differences and to be aware of sexism.

FBI Special Agent Jon Wells, a former US Army Intelligence Officer, who spent a career bringing down Islamic terrorists across the globe, is now in Minneapolis, home to the largest Somali community in America. Tensions rise when a Somali informant is brutally murdered, and nascent discoveries of Chinese cyber-espionage point to Minneapolis. Over-dependence on computers is the Achilles’ heel of modern business, and Wells uncovers a network of ISIS-inspired Somali gangs, bogus companies, and the Chinese cyber Army, who are probing America’s defenses in the first skirmishes of an electronic war. Author Greg Gardner, a former naval officer with deep knowledge of military strategy and cyber warfare, brings home the reality of future dangers in this international thriller, which spans Germany, France and China. In Plain Sight suggests that the US is at war and will be for the foreseeable future, and that a skillful enemy can attack from within, and may seek to destroy America without using conventional weaponry.
