Book Synopsis The Accidents of Style by : Charles Harrington Elster
Download or read book The Accidents of Style written by Charles Harrington Elster and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-07-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fasten your seat belt for a crash course in careful usage.... Just like automobile accidents, accidents of style occur all over the English-speaking world, in print and on the Internet, thousands of times every day. They range from minor fender benders, such as confusing their and there, to serious smashups, such as misusing sensual for sensuous or writing loathe when you mean loath. Charles Harrington Elster shows you how to navigate the hairpin turns of grammar, diction, spelling, and punctuation with an entertaining driver's manual covering 350 common word hazards and infractions, arranged in order of complexity for writers of all levels. Elster illustrates these surprisingly common accidents with quotations from numerous print and online publications, many of them highly regarded---which perhaps should make us feel better: If the horrendous redundancy closeproximity and the odious construction what it is, is have appeared in The New York Times, maybe our own accidents will be forgiven. But that shouldn't keep us from aspiring to accident-free writing and speaking. If you want to get on the road to writing well, The Accidents of Style will help you drive home what you want to say.

Book Synopsis The Jungle Survivor by : Stephen L Takomana
Download or read book The Jungle Survivor written by Stephen L Takomana and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-05-11 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the author sets out places and scenes that relates to the environment and places as would be ideal for the period when Malawi then Nyasaland was with very low population density and a total population of about three million people. As such, some scenes relate to periods before and immediately after the countrys independence and Republic; and closely relate to the areas the author visited and or lived. Written as his spare time hobby, this book is based on fiction from the authors imagination based on some real sites in the country and relates to some real life occurrences in the days when the country had fascinating jungles and forests full of wild animals, beautiful birds and reptiles. Some scenes are based on places that are nonexistent, but would in real life be possible to have existed elsewhere in this country. Time and again, the author delves into the Railway world from where the scenes of the then Nyasaland Railway inevitably come into focus; but blends them with both existing and nonexistent Railway stations and sidings to draw away the reader from associating the story with anyone living or dead. Some scenes also delve into periods when Malawi Railways was in operation. In setting out this book, the author aims at capturing the mind of the readers and the learners in English, who might find this book useful for expanding their vocabulary. With such settings, the book is intended to incite amusement and laughter that will in the end maintain the attention of the reader to continue reading to the very end. In some cases, the author has deliberately used vocabulary that would be difficult for some beginners in English. However, this vindicates one of its purposes; to entice the reader not to flounder, but use the dictionary for expansion into the world of vocabulary. Zizwa and other names used in this book are all fictitious names that bear no relation to anyone living or dead. Again the author does, nowhere in the book, write about his experiences as the environment of his growth in mission places set out in the passage above, bears no relation to the settings in the stories in this book.
Book Synopsis Vanishing Tales from Ancient Trails by : James Dorsey

Book excerpt: Adventure traveler James Dorsey takes readers around the world to not only explore ancient trails, but to help immerse readers in the old traditions of lands that seem to be disappearing in the modern world. This book of short stories takes readers on a descriptive journey through parts of Asia, Africa and South America. ""James Dorsey is no ordinary travel writer. In this remarkable book, ranging from Southeast Asia to West Africa, he takes us inside tribal cultures that many readers will be surprised to learn still exist. The author's sincere fascination with remote lands and the ancient practices of their inhabitants often makes him as much participant as observer. That a 21st-century man could yet invoke the spirit of a Stanley or a Shackleton makes ""Vanishing Tales from Ancient Trails"" all the more a must-read."" - Dick Russell, author of ""Eye of the Whale: Epic Passage from Baja to Siberia.""

Book excerpt: Called the King of the Pulps, Frederick Schiller Faust, aka Max Brand, wrote nearly 400 Westerns from The Untamed to Destry Rides Again--a total of more than 220 books in this genre. Yet Max Brand also created Dr. Kildare (of books, films, and television) and wrote under twenty-one pseudonyms, in another dozen genres. This book removes the mask, with deeply personal memoirs from family, friends and fellow writers, taking us through his orphaned boyhood on the brutal ranches of California, his frustrating decades in Italy, as both a classical poet and a fast-action pulpist, to his heroic death as a war correspondent on the World War II battlefields. Faust's life story is augmented by a complete bibliography of his work--over a thousand books, stories, and films--plus the first listing of works about Faust.

Download or read book Escape to Nowhere written by Fran Lucca and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a teenager, Ron Reynolds trekked across the United States and overseas in quest of adventure. Stints as carnival worker, ranch hand, cabana boy, and lifeguard to a deckhand on the China seas could not quench his thirst for excitement. Until the nineteen-year-old Buffalo, New York, adventurer saw a poster in Paris, luring him to a five-year enlistment in the famed French Foreign Legion. For eighteen months that dream became a horrible nightmare of senseless desert killings and brutal and sadistic treatment, including a thirty-day imprisonment in a desert dungeon at the hands of a half-crazed Turk. Finally, after two unsuccessful attempts to escape, in which he barely survived the punishments, Ron was determined to make it to freedom or take his own life by falling on his bayonet. His daring escape, filled with terror and suspense, was bittersweet. The Yankee mercenary found himself a man without a country and a price on his head by the French government. In essence, he had escaped to nowhere. He says that if he had to do it over again, he would take the easy way out—in front of a firing squad. On a happy note, Ron Reynolds is once again an American citizen.
Download or read book Boy's Own War written by G. S. Willmott and published by Garry Willmott. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about war, yet it's not a novel about enemies fighting to the death or examining the strategies of battles. This novel is about young boys some as young as eight, fighting, killing and being killed. The first six chapters follow the lives of two normal happy teenagers attending school, playing sport and learning about girls. This creates a comparative scenario highlighting the difference between a modern teenager and the boys that carry guns and fight in horrendous conditions, their innocence lost forever. Boy's Own War is a tightly woven, precise narrative that intertwines historical fact with both real and imagined characters. It is a novel that works on many levels, and it is impossible to locate it within any single genre; it is all the more impressive as it blends a considerable amount of informative research with elements of realistic human drama. It is an important book. Not only does it remind us of the courage and sacrifice of boy warriors who lost their lives in wars but also it reminds us of the significance of those wars and the effect they have had on humankind. By showing the waste and futility of war, and how children become entrenched in horrendous battles losing limbs and lives, Boy's Own War also seeks a more general lasting peace for humankind. This is an extraordinary story, one that provides insights into the dualities of human nature, especially against a background of war. Generally, parents nurture their children, educate them hoping they will become responsible adults. The parents of the boys in this book lost their children to the ultimate human evil... war. We are confronted with the potential within all of us for both heroism and cowardice, honesty and deception, altruism and greed; there is, in the intensity of wartime, a heightened awareness of moral dilemmas, choices between good and evil which have eternally confronted humankind.
