When Conversation Lapses

The Public Accountability of Silent Copresence

By: Elliott Michael Hoey

Silence takes on meaning based on the contexts of its occurrence. This is especially true in social interactions, where silence after "lemme think" is very distinct from silence after "will you marry me?" This book examines a particular form of silence, the conversational lapse. Using methods from Conversation Analysis (CA), the author analyzes hundreds of lapses in naturally occurring social occasions, focusing on how they emerge, what people do during the silence, and how they restart conversation afterwards. Overall, the research shows lapses to be a particular kind of silence with particular relevancies for the social situations of which they are a part.

Facing Frankenstein

How to Defeat Your True Opponent in Sport

By: Mark Elliott

You have created a Mental Monster that is more cunning, capable, and powerful than any of your physical opponents. It is your worst enemy and fiercest rival in sport. Do you sabotage your own performances and success? Are you in a constant battle with your mind? Do you ever wonder why your mind turns against you? Has competing become a fear-fest when it used to be fun and exciting? Guided by the Mental Monster Model, Facing Frankenstein is a one-stop superstore of information and instruction for sportspeople who long for an effective answer to the burning question: How can I get out of my own way and perform like I know I can? With its combination of unique insights, real-life examples, and a no-nonsense training system that works, you will discover: Why you struggle with the psychological side of competing and be surprised that it has little to do with sport itself. What holds you back and why. How to manage the monster mind and deliver high-level performances time and time again. ‘Working with Mark was the turning point in my career’ Rory Best OBE, Ulster, Ireland, and B&I Lions

Jane Pratt

North Carolina's First Congresswoman

By: Marion Elliott Deerhake

On May 25th, 1946, after 22 years as a congressional secretary, Jane Pratt was elected as North Carolina's first congresswoman. The press reported with great interest how "Miss Jane" won by a landslide with only a $100 campaign budget. She hit the ground running, voting to the pass the Atomic Energy Act, working tirelessly to mitigate a century of flood disasters in western North Carolina, and serving the constituents she knew so well. This first biography of Congresswoman Jane Pratt recounts her youth and fascinating career on Capitol Hill. It also provides a unique federal view of North Carolina's early 20th century history. After working as a rare female newspaper editor in the early 1920s, Pratt became secretary to five tarheel congressmen over some 30 years. Her career spanned the roaring twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War. Pratt's amazing network was a who's who of leaders in North Carolina and Washington, DC. Her decision not to run for re-election offers insight into why 46 years passed before the state elected another woman to Congress.
