The Basques: A Captivating Guide to the History of the Basque Country, Starting from Prehistory Through Roman Rule and the Middle Ages to the Present , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 225min
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Basques, then pay attention....The Basques live in a modestly small, triangular-shaped country that straddles the farthest northeastern portion of Spain and the southeastern portion of France. While some live outside this area today, many still call this region home. These hardy people have dwelt in the foothills of the jagged Pyrenees Mountains since prehistoric times, and they’re still there to this day. The Basques manifest a genetic makeup that is prehistorically distinct from that of their neighbors in Spain or France. This has puzzled scientists and researchers for years. A genetic study conducted by Uppsala University in Sweden in 2015 discovered that the Basques established themselves as an ethnic group during Neolithic times, anywhere from 12,000 to 4,500 years ago.The Basques were isolated from other human migrations into Europe for millennia. Anthropologists have said that they are descendants of the Neolithic farmers who intermingled with a hunter-gatherer culture. About 850,000 pure Basques live in Spain, while 130,000 dwell in France. In this book, a great effort has been made to present the clearest explanation possible to elucidate the history of these fascinating people. In The Basques: A Captivating Guide to the History of the Basque Country, Starting from Prehistory Through Roman Rule and the Middle Ages to the Present, you will discover topics such as:The mystery of the mountain peopleThe ancient mystery unravelsThe Basques under the Roman EmpireRule under dukes, counts, and kingsThe Middle AgesThe Late Middle AgesThe modern periodThe twentieth centuryBasque terrorismThe Basque country todayAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Basques, scroll up and add it to your cart now!/b ungekürzt.

The Narrative Gym: Introducing the ABT Framework for Messaging and Communication , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
The Narrative Gym by Dr. Randy Olson presents a new model for messaging and communication. It's a short, practical guide to the ABT Framework (And, But, Therefore) which needs to be on the desk of everyone crafting a message, essay, strategy, novel, campaign, proposal, presentation, screenplay, argument, joke, ballad, report...pretty much all communication.There is no other audiobook on the ABT framework. There is no other analytical model for narrative structure like the ABT framework. This is a new and unique resource. The ABT seems like something from elementary school and at its core is as old as the ancient Greeks, but the formulation only began less than a decade ago.The original insights for this communication model come from Hollywood screenwriting. The importance of the three words (And, But, Therefore) began with legendary screenwriting instructor Frank Daniel of the U.S.C. School of Cinematic Arts who in a 1986 speech first talked of replacing the word “and” with either “but” or “therefore” to strengthen the narrative content of a text. This was propagated by his students, then articulated by the co-creators of the animated series, South Park, in a 2011 documentary. Randy Olson formulated the ABT Narrative Template (“___ And ___ But ___ Therefore ___”) in his 2013 TEDMED Talk, and his 2015 book, Houston, We Have a Narrative. It is at the heart of how humans have communicated for thousands of years. You can see it in the Gettysburg Address, nursery rhymes, argumentation, comic structure, myths, the billion-viewed “Call Me Maybe” song from Carlie Rae Jepsen, the 1600s poem “To His Coy Mistress", blockbuster movies - on and on. It's at the core of everything memorable because it is narrative itself. The bottom line is: You’ve got something to say and you know it’s important, but you’re having trouble boiling it down to its powerful and essential core, therefore you need the ABT framework. ungekürzt.
