Description
你離我太近了,請給我一點空間!Publishers Weekly
作者:克里絲蒂安‧瓊斯 |繪者:凱爾‧艾金森|譯者:黃婷涵
拿捏人際相處間禮貌的距離分際
知道每個人都需要有舒服自在的個人空間
熱情洋溢、熱愛生活的小河馬哈里森,和同學與老師相處時,有一點其實讓朋友很困擾,因為他總是……知道每個人都需要有舒服自在的個人空間
坐得太近了一點。
握手握得久了一點。
擊掌力道大了一點。
擁抱得太緊了一點。
哈里森在家裡很習慣與家人親密地窩在一起,所以他很習慣肢體接觸,但是他卻沒有注意到,朋友們並不習慣如此,很多時候別人已經反感、不舒服了,哈里森仍毫不自知。
哈里森爸爸接到老師和其他家長的電話後,決定和哈里森談一談如何「保持個人空間」。哈里森一開始無法體會,爸爸進一步解釋,人與人之間其實需要擁有感覺自在的範圍,為了讓孩子具體明白,爸爸教他「空間救星」的動作,當伸開雙臂不會碰到別人,就表示有和對方保持適當距離。
隔天到學校,哈里森不斷做出「空間救星」,然而僵硬的保持距離,卻讓老師和同學覺得突兀……
你知道哈里森可以怎麼做,才能掌握人際之間的距離,讓自己和周圍的人都相處得舒服自在嗎?
本書談論的──個人空間,是鮮少繪本會提及的主題。故事特別以實際的互動情況,點出處於社會中,家長孩子容易忽略,需要自我意識的禮貌分際和身體界線。
孩子在幼兒時期,與親近家人肢體接觸密切又頻繁,隨著年齡長大進入學校和社會環境後,若沒有個人空間的概念,複製家裡的互動習慣,可能在與人相處時不懂得保持適當距離,輕易讓別人侵犯到自己的個人空間;也可能已經侵犯到他人的個人空間卻不自知,帶給別人不舒服或失禮的感受和印象,甚至是騷擾的疑慮。
懂得區分親疏,保持人與人之間的適度距離,是孩子逐漸成為獨立個體以及社會化不可或缺的一門課。
藉由小河馬哈里森幾項行為,孩子能從這些互動經驗中,學習顧慮他人感受,理解個人空間的概念和實用的具體範圍。在這一條隱形的界線之中,可以保護自己的身體;在界線之外,懂得尊重對方身體的空間。範圍差不多是伸直手臂的距離,不過也要視狀況調整,例如在擁擠的地方,雙臂自然垂下不碰到別人,是另一種彈性的方式。
★養成孩子與他人相處得宜的禮貌!

This book will make a difference in your presentation.
Format: Paperback
If you rely on Powerpoint-like presentation in your work, get Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points. I had determined that improving my company's presentations had potentially very high returns so I started poking around the net and Amazon for resources to help. At first, I struck out with books that were supposed to improve presentations, but ended up being guides on technically how to use Powerpoint. That was NOT what I was looking for.
Beyond Bullet Points is very different. It is a philosophy about creating presentations whose purpose is to communicate a story, not dump information. Frankly, it was not intuitive for me so I had to decide to just trust that it would work. When I was about ¾ finished, I started to really "feel" what I was doing. And, to my surprise, the most unlikely people really liked the result.
In a world where most business and how-to books are nothing more that restating what you already know (or, what you know isn't true), this one is an exception. I highly recommend it!

Presentations with the audience in mind
Format: Paperback
I bought this hoping it would be a guide to creating Big-3 Consulting-style slides with fancy diagrams and eye-catching graphic design. That is not what this book is. Instead, this book is about how to tell a story with slides, using the framework of a five act drama. With this method forcing you to focus on who your audience is, what they need to know, and how much time you have to tell them (as opposed to trying to shoehorn everything you know about a subject into your pitch) you end up with a presentation that finishes on time for intelligent questions from an engaged audience.
Since buying the book I have given several well-received presentations using precisely that technique. With no words on screen there is no temptation to just read the bullet points, and the audience cannot think ahead of you and must instead listen to what you're saying. You have to know your material to use this method, but when you succeed your audience will be impressed with your knowledge of the subject matter. (If you're working in a group project and want to Blue Falcon a non-contributing teammate, try giving them a few of these slides to speak to.)
The recommended slide format is one picture and one headline per slide, with no bullet points at all. The book suggests creating Notes Pages with an outline of your talk as a handout, since the slides themselves don't stand alone. (And that's a good thing--visual aids are supposed to *augment* the presentation, not *be* the presentation.)
In conclusion, this book might not be for everyone, but it was exactly what I needed.

An outsider's view
Format: Paperback
When it comes to Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points, I am a bit of an outsider. I don't read many computer books and, while I have worked with PowerPoint, my presentations are very simple. Since I admittedly use my share of bullet points in these presentations, I thought learning about an alternative approach would be useful. And while there are definite benefits to reading this book, it may not be perfect for everyone.
Many people use bullet points in their PowerPoint presentations; this can be a great way to organize thoughts, but Atkinson has a difference approach. Essentially, the Beyond Bullet Points method treats presentations as stories told in three "acts." Act One develops the story, Act Two develops the action and Act Three frames the resolution. Each act is broken down into scenes which provide the details. The first portion of the book explains how to work with each act; the second portion deals with the evolution from initial outline to final presentation.
This book assumes a certain amount of PowerPoint knowledge; if you want to learn about the application, this is not the place to start (on the other hand, you don't need to be a PowerPoint expert). One of the nicest things about Atkinson's approach is the way he allows presentations to be pared down to fit the time frame required: his method is designed best with a 45 minute presentation, but it can be easily compressed to a 15 minute or even 5 minute presentation. Another nice thing is that he has a website that readers can access that provides some helpful materials such as template documents.
On the other hand, Atkinson treats the issue of bullet points/no bullet points as something of a black-and-white issue. He doesn't really acknowledge that there may be a middle ground where bullet points should be used in certain situations, perhaps even in conjunction with his approach. I think it's more appropriate to view the Beyond Bullet Points as an alternative approach to PowerPoint presentations, not the ONLY approach.
Atkinson's writing style is straightforward, and like many computer books, a little dry. But as stated earlier, I am reading this book with something of an outsider's view. This is a good book, but Atkinson's inability to look beyond his own approach keeps it from being a five-star work. Nonetheless, if you do a lot of PowerPoint presentations, there is enough useful material in here to merit a read.

A Refreshing Approach to Presentations
Format: Paperback
I ran across this book while researching a college workshop on perfecting presentation, dealing with public speaking and effective use of PowerPoint. As one who has suffered through numerous electronic slides that did little or nothing to augment the speaker's efforts, I was delighted to see this fresh and innovative approach. I believe this process works best, however, when one's speech is primarily persuasive in nature. Although these ideas helped me set up a strong introduction and conclusion, in a recent lecture I resorted to bullet points for the material I felt the students had to master. Perhaps as I get more used to Atkinson's technique, I'll better about using it in lecture. However, the business applications seem quite worthwhile. My students' workshop presentations that used his techniques were highly engaging. I highly recommend this book and the supporting web site.

Simplistic and Inappropriate
Format: Paperback
I was hoping this book would provide insights into how to present complex information in a more comprehensible, useful format, using PowerPoint as the tool. Instead, the overall gist of this book is that presentations should be "dumbed down" as much as possible. The theme the author presents is that presentations should be story based. This is reasonable. However, the method the author recommends is that essentially *all* meaningful, complex (or, as the author prefers "boring") content be removed from the presentation. Presentations then become nothing more than catchy headlines and colorful graphics. All content should be in the presenter's notes (not typically to be provided). This is juvenile and useless and frankly reflects a complete lack of understanding of how presentations are made in a complex business environment.
