Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an elaborate treatise on reading and its powerful influence on matters of the mind and soul. Expanding on the idea that poetry and music deeply affect us, the author posits that reading, too, has a profound effect on our sensibilities, and can be used for lofty purposes such as bettering our character. To that end, the author discusses in great detail the disciplines of reading, speaking, and listening. The focus is on the mechanics of each of these disciplines. For instance, the author discusses not just how one pronounces words, but how one positions the organs of speech to produce various sounds. The author provides detailed guidance based on extensive analysis and exploration of the ideas presented in this book. With chapters devoted to such topics as understanding what one reads and communicating those ideas to others, this book is a fascinating resource not only for educators but for anyone with an interest in communication and its impact.
