Public Relations in Indonesia
ISBN: 9783838321066 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Indonesian organizations today increasingly demand rigorous qualifications from the PR practitioners. However, old misperceptions about PR being a glamorous job that does not require much intelligence still exist. Consequently, physical attractiveness and youth are often regarded as requirements more important than education and experience for PR practitioners. Moreover, many Indonesian organizations still limit the public relations practitioners role to that of a technician, and only in times of crisis would these organizations seek strategic public relations. This book explains the history...

ISBN: 9783838377957 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In human communication, sending an unclear message is often regarded as failure or impoliteness. Nevertheless, it is not always the case that those who make explicit statements are the most successful communicators. Equivocal communication is widely employed by modern politicians, and it can also be possible to extend its scope further, to communication between nations. In this book, Bavelas et al.'s theory of equivocation is applied to analyze nine public texts (1979 - 2000) concerning the discussion of national reunification between Taiwan and Mainland China as their political communication...

New Trends in Ushairi: A Socio-Historical Study of Kiswahili Poetry
ISBN: 9783838396286 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Looking at Ushairi today, we observe a new type of poetic writing. In its content and formal aspects, this new ushairi differs markedly from the traditionally established character of the genre. It is this evolution that we have explored in this book.

The traditionalists have rejected it as non-ushairi and a controversy has arisen as to the definition of Ushairi.

ISBN: 9783843351409 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the contentious subject of African feminism.

Written in simple, straightforward English, the book starts by giving a socio-politico-historical background to Zimbabwe, as well as Yvonne Veras biography, followed by a short history of postcolonialism, a ...
