Book Synopsis The Right Word in the Right Place at the Right Time by : William Safire
Download or read book The Right Word in the Right Place at the Right Time written by William Safire and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past twenty-five years Americans have relied on Pulitzer Prize-winning wordsmith William Safire for their weekly dose of linguistic illumination in The New York Times Magazine's column "On Language" -- one of the most popular features of the magazine and a Sunday-morning staple for innumerable fans. He is the most widely read writer on the English language today. Safire is the guru of contemporary vocabulary, speech, language, usage and writing. Dedicated and disputatious readers itch to pick up each column and respond to the week's linguistic wisdom with a gotcha letter to the Times. The Right Word in the Right Place at the Right Time marks the publication of Safire's sixteenth book on language. This collection is a classic to be read, re-read, enjoyed and fought over. Fans, critics and fellow linguists wait with bated (from the French abattre "to beat down") breath for each new anthology -- and, like its predecessors, this one is bound to satisfy and delight. Safire finds fodder for his columns in politics and current events, as well as in science, technology, entertainment and daily life. The self-proclaimed card-carrying language maven and pop grammarian is not above tackling his own linguistic blunders as he detects language trends and tracks words, phrases and clichés to their source. Scholarly, entertaining and thoughtful, Safire's critical observations about language and slanguage are at once provocative and enlightening. Safire is America's go-to guy when it comes to language, and he has included sharp and passionately opinionated letters from readers across the English-speaking world who have been unable to resist picking up a pen to put the maven himself in his place or to offer alternate interpretations, additional examples, amusing anecdotes or just props. The Right Word in the Right Place at the Right Time is a fascinating, learned and piquant look at the oddities and foibles that find their way into the English language. Exposing linguistic hooey and rigamarole and filled with Safire's trademark wisdom, this book has a place on the desk or bedside table of all who share his profound love of the English language -- as well as his penchant for asking "What does that mean?" Or, "Wassat?" This new collection is sure to delight readers, writers and word lovers everywhere and spark the interest of anyone who has ever wondered, "Where did the phrase 'brazen hussy' come from?"

Book excerpt: Humankind has expanded out into interstellar space using star gates-technological remnants left behind by an ancient, long-vanished race. But the technology comes with a price. Among the stars, humanity encountered the Fallers, a strange alien race bent on nothing short of genocide. It's all-out war, and humanity is losing. In this fragile situation, a new planet is discovered, inhabited by a pre-industrial race who experience "shared reality"-they're literally compelled to share the same worldview. A team of human scientists is dispatched-but what they don't know is that their mission of first contact is actually a covert military operation. For one of the planet's moons is really a huge mysterious artifact of the same origin as the star gates . . . and it just may be the key to winning the war.

Book Synopsis The Power in the Mystery of Confessing Right Words in Faith! by : Fidelis Edie Ngolle
Download or read book The Power in the Mystery of Confessing Right Words in Faith! written by Fidelis Edie Ngolle and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-21 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a state or position in your life that you have desired to quit? Or a dream you have been longing to achieve? If your answer is yes, then this book, which reveals the ultimate key to unlocking (open) the door to your dream, is the right one for you. The power of the mystery of confessing right words from the Word of God in scriptures has been hidden from many in the church over the years; no doubt the Bible accounts how the Israelites used their mouths to attract a curse (Num. 14: 13-14, 28), nonetheless, in recent times, by revelation (Eph. 3:3), a majority are now benefitting from the unmatchable reward it offers to a believers faith walk in Christ. The Holy Bible holds an elaborate account of the love and the blessings of God or prosperity (3 Jn. 2) while it states that, there is nothing expected of a believer or mankind to access the unfailing love of God. It is worth mentioning here that the prosperity of God is tied to certain principles, and without an alignment or obedience to these principles, there is no way anyone can access His realm of prosperity.
