«No conozco a nadie que pueda ostentar el título de "coach de las presentaciones" con más méritos que Graham.»Daniel Finklestein, director ejecutivo, The Times «Tanto si es usted primer ministro como si es director ejecutivo, o alguien que necesita causar impacto en los demás, debe leer este libro, innovador y crítico, de Graham Davies.»Neil Sherlock, socio, KPMG «Sinceramente, este libro me irrita, porque me encantaría que Graham lo hubiera escrito hace veinte años. De haber sido así, quizá no habría tenido que pasarme innumerables horas torturado por inversores de banca que creen que "presentar" significa leer en voz alta todas las palabras que aparecen en sus diapositivas».Richard Klein, director general, Bank of America Merrill Lynch «Nunca más volverá a cometer el delito de aburrir a su audiencia con interminables frases cortas.»Penny Philpot, vicepresidente, Worldwide Partner Services, Oracle «Graham Davies es un maestro del humor que demuestra que la mejor manera de exponer un asunto serio es contando un buen chiste.»Boris Johnson, alcalde de Londres ENGLISH DESCRIPTION You probably hate giving presentations. You probably hate listening to them too. Why? Because most business presentations are too long, too detailed, too boring...and submerged under a blizzard of PowerPoint. But the single most important presentational tool known to man isn't a slideshow. It's you. Whether you're speaking to one person across a table, 20 people in a boardroom or 1,000 people in a ballroom, it's all about the words you say and how you say them. The Presentation Coach shows you how to use what you've already got to give you clarity, confidence and impact in every speaking challenge you will ever face. You'll learn the unique Bare Knuckle 5-step process to effective presenting, and how to apply it to all business speaking, from large-scale presentations to one-to-one client meetings. Graham Davies has been coaching high-profile individuals from the worlds of business, politics and entertainment in exactly these techniques for the past 25 years. Now it's your turn.

The book tells the story of those incidents and events in the Spanish Civil War in which Welsh captains and sailors played a pivotal role. The focus is on the blockade runners at the port of Bilbao in 1937 and the evacuation of refugees from Alicante in 1939. The historical background in chapters 1 and 3 provides the context in which the actions of the Welsh captains are made meaningful. The brave exploits of Captain David 'Potato' Jones and Captain W.H. Roberts at Bilbao are described in detail as is the heroic rescue of almost 3000 refugees by Captain Archibald Dickson from Alicante in his boat the 'Stanbrook'.The tragic scenes when Republican refugees, fleeing Franco's army, arrive at the port of Alicante at the end of the Civil War are related with particular poignancy. The book champions the fight against fascism by the Republican government and exposes the cynicism of the Western democracies.The author writes for the general reader but makes reference to the major academic works. He uses information derived from archives and people both in Wales and in Spain.

This is the sequel to the first volume of Ancient Hebrew Inscriptions: Corpus and Concordance, published in 1991. It contains some 750 inscriptions from the Old Testament period which were mainly published for the first time between 1990 and 2000. Some were discovered in regular archaeological excavations, others come from private collections. The new material includes ostraca from different sites, which are of religious, literary and historical importance, and extensive information about the personal names which were in use in the biblical period. The number of coin-legends and other texts from the Persian and early Hellenistic periods has also been enlarged. Each text is supplied with a brief description, an approximate date and publication information. The concordance provides an easy way to discover which Hebrew words and proper names occur in non-biblical sources and helps greatly to widen the basis for Hebrew language study.
