In an Instant - A Family's...

Bob Woodruff

In January 2006, Lee and Bob Woodruff seemed to have it all–a happy marriage, four beautiful children, and marvelous careers. Bob had just been named co-anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight, but then, while he was embedded with the military in Iraq, an improvised explosive device went off near the tank he was riding in. He and his cameraman, Doug Vogt, were hit, and Bob suffered a traumatic brain injury that nearly killed him.  In an Instant is the frank and compelling account of how Bob and Lee Woodruff’s lives came together, were blown apart, and then were miraculously put together again–and how they persevered, with grit but also with humor, through intense trauma and fear. More than a dual memoir of love and courage, In an Instant is an important, wise, and inspiring guide to coping with tragedy–and an extraordinary drama of marriage, family, war, and nation

Is College Worth It? - A Former...

William J. Bennett, David Wilezol

For many students, a bachelor's degree is considered the golden ticket to a more financially and intellectually fulfilling life. But the disturbing reality is that debt, unemployment, and politically charged pseudo learning are more likely outcomes for many college students today than full-time employment and time-honored knowledge. 
This raises the question: is college still worth it? Who is responsible for debt-saddled, undereducated students, and how do future generations of students avoid the same problems? In a time of economic uncertainty, what majors and schools will produce competitive graduates? Is College Worth It? uses personal experience, statistical analysis, and real-world interviews to provide answers to some of the most troubling social and economic problems of our time.

Advanced English Collocations...

Robert Allans

Why is it important to learn collocations and idioms? 
An appreciation of collocations and idioms will help you to use the words you know more accurately. In other words, you’ll make (NOT do) fewer mistakes. 
Sound more natural when you speak and write. 
By saying, for example, go blank, rather than forget everything, you won’t just be understood, you will – quite rightly – sound like a fluent user of English. 
Vary your speech and, probably more importantly, your writing 
Instead of repeating everyday words like very, good or nice, you will be able to get access to wider range of language. 
Mastering collocations, idioms and phrases means no more struggle, pausing or confusion while dealing with any of the major skills of the language (writing, reading, speaking and listening). This is the most effective method to use English words in a correct but natural way.
