A collection of essays on life and literature, from one of the most iconic authors and astute critics in contemporary letters. Words Are My Matter is essential reading: a collection of talks, essays, and criticism by Ursula K. Le Guin, a literary legend and unparalleled voice of our social conscience. Here she investigates the depth and breadth of contemporary fiction--and, through the lens of literature, gives us a way of exploring the world around us. In "Freedom," Le Guin notes: "Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now ... to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom--poets, visionaries--realists of a larger reality." Le Guin was one of those authors and inWords Are My Matter she gives us just that: a vision of a better reality, fueled by the power and might and hope of language and literature.

In a twenty-first-century global economy, in which multinational companies coordinate and collaborate withÊpartners and clientele around the world, it is usually English that is the parlance of business, research, technology, and finance. Most assume that if parties on both ends of the conferenceÊcall are fluent English speakers, information will be shared seamlessly and without any misunderstanding. But is that really true? Ê Words Matter examines how communications between transnational partners routinely break down, even when all parties are fluent English speakers. The end result is lost time, lost money, and often discord among those involved. WhatÕs going wrong? Contrary to a common assumption, language is never neutral. Its is heavily influenced by oneÕs culture and can often result in unintended meanings depending on word choice, a particular phrase, or even oneÕs inflection. A recent study of corporate managers found that one out of five projects fail primarily because of ineffective transnational communication, resulting in the loss of millions of dollars. Ê In Words Matter, you will venture into the halls of multinational tech companies around the world to study language and culture at work; learn practical steps for harnessing research in communication and anthropology to become more skilled in the digital workplace; and learn to use the ÒCommunication Plus Model,Ó which can be easily applied in multiple situations, leading to better communication and better business outcomes.

A long, long time from now, in the valleys of what will no longer be called Northern California, might be going to have lived a people called the Kesh. But Always Coming Home is not the story of the Kesh. Rather it is the stories of the Kesh - stories, poems, songs, recipes - Always Coming Home is no less than an anthropological account of a community that does not yet exist, a tour de force of imaginative fiction by one of modern literature's great voices.

Ursula K. Le Guin discusses her fiction, nonfiction, and poetry?both her process and her philosophy?with all the wisdom, profundity, and rigor we expect from one of the great writers of the last century. When the New York Times referred to Ursula K. Le Guin as America’s greatest writer of science fiction, they just might have undersold her legacy. It’s hard to look at her vast body of work?novels and stories across multiple genres, poems, translations, essays, speeches, and criticism?and see anything but one of our greatest writers, period. In a series of interviews with David Naimon (Between the Covers), Le Guin discusses craft, aesthetics, and philosophy in her fiction, poetry, and nonfiction respectively. The discussions provide ample advice and guidance for writers of every level, but also give Le Guin a chance to to sound off on some of her favorite subjects: the genre wars, the patriarchy, the natural world, and what, in her opinion, makes for great writing. With excerpts from her own books and those that she looked to for inspiration, this volume is a treat for Le Guin’s longtime readers, a perfect introduction for those first approaching her writing, and a tribute to her incredible life and work.

Words matter. Some more than others. Have you ever felt that some words colour your world without giving you a choice? In colours that create a context that don't give you the freedom to exist or express on your terms. That ends now. This book is a compilation of forty words that help the reader to choose their vocabulary in a way that allows them to redefine how human beings are treated. With equality. And with respect. Our sisters, wives and mothers have suffered consequences of a language that has been fed into our minds since we were born. Those in relationships with them have suffered repercussions of the narratives these words have created. Let us make sure the same doesn't happen to our daughters. Essential reading for boys, girls and every human being who believes in human dignity. 'This book should be the bible for women and a guideline for men' - Dr.Jija M.HariSingh Former Director General of Police, Bangalore. 'This book breaks down often complex topics to its core by using illustrations and poems. It is so powerful, you can't help but feel the impact of these words deep within. Every woman needs this book to nurture the little girl inside of her. This book is for every person who would like to understand true equality.' Bhairavi Prakash Amani Social Innovation Management Fellow and the Founder of Mithra Trust 'I could experience every word in this book. The book spoke to me like a friend' Shilpa 8th grade student, Studying in a government aided school in Bangalore "Every book you buy, contributes to the education of the girl child, as part of the proceeds will fund the HopeWords Foundation."
