Amazing history
After taking an amazing class with Dr. Jordan, who is just as good of a teacher as he is a writer, I decided to take a look at his well-known book. It is truly one of the great pieces of historical writing I have read, as he is able to pull together a complete story based upon references from a single document. While he's talking about this single event, he gives great insight into the mind of ...

Profound---At Times Overwhelmingly Thought Provoking
I am a woman. I'm only on page 90-something, but I find this book to be profound. My personal experience tells me that men ARE too passive. Their silence is K I L L I N G their marriages, their children, and MEN's own spirits!! This is not meant to be judgmental, it is just my deep experience!! My feelings as I read this book ranged from a feeling of awe as I recognized the truth of what ...

The Power of Silence: Social and Pragmatic Perspectives (Language and Language Behavior)
Adam Jaworski

Sage Publications, Inc, 1992

Jaworski does this, and more, in this very extensive exploration of silence as a means of communication. . . The gems of Jaworski's discussion come through his ...
