Grammar-land; Or Grammar in Fun for the Children of Schoolroom-shire

M. L. Nesbitt

Sinopse

This book was accepted well not only the little folks for whom it was intended, but children of a larger growth have read it with interest; and students, who spend days and nights "with weary eyesight poring over miserable books," have condescended to turn over these pages, and laughingly admit that the imagination may sow even the dustiest of book-shelves with flowers. Teachers of the younger classes in schools have found this little volume extremely useful; and it is suggested, that though children will often read it with pleasure by themselves, they will derive much more profit from it when it is made the text-book for a lesson. The simple exercises appended to each chapter will then be found both useful and entertaining. Exceprt: WHAT is Grammar-land? Where is Grammar-land? Have you ever been to Grammar-land? Wait a minute and you shall hear. You will not find Grammar-land marked on the globe, and I never saw a map of it; but then, who ever saw a map of Fairy-land? and yet you have all heard of that, and know a great deal about it, of course. Well, Grammar-land is a place every bit as real as2 Fairy-land, and much more important.

Short stories in Norwegian -...

Wei-Te Yao, Jørgen Bang Hovde

If you want to improve your Norwegian skills, and are currently at levels A2 – B2 or above, this book may provide a fun learning experience for you! 
This language learners ebook and accompanying audiobook aim to provide intermediate learners of Norwegian with a tool to practice their writing. 
The book may be said to consist primarily of two components: the selected texts, which are short essays and stories on a given topic, and simple exercises derived from those texts. All the essays are written by a single learner over the span of around one year. 
This is not a traditional language textbook, and as such will not contain any systematic representations of grammar or vocabulary beyond what is directly relevant to the sample texts. Since the texts were compiled with intermediate to advanced learners in mind, the reader is assumed to have a corresponding level of familiarity with Norwegian grammar and vocabulary. 
Some chapters of the audiobook are read by the Norwegian learner who wrote the stories/essays (who is not a native speaker of Norwegian), and some other chapters are read by the Norwegian co-editor.

Knead to Know - A History of Baking

Neil Buttery

In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created.

Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells so much about our culture and society, our desires and our weaknesses, from the broad sweep of bread creating human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie, or the fact that mince pies used to be meaty.

When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection as technology improves. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, sometimes knowledge is lost and skills forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are worth trying out (and mention a few that should perhaps be left in the past).

The reader will be inspired by the characters, creations and inventions of the past to be better and more adventurous bakers.

Science-Based Language Learning Lab

Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series

Welcome to a revolutionary approach to language learning! This series helps you master Spanish by intertwining it with compelling topics like Rucking. Each book centers on a theme (art, science, history) and presents 100 carefully chosen facts in both English and Spanish.

How It Works:

- Each fact is first introduced in Spanish, encouraging you to interpret it.

- The following page provides the fact in English and then repeats it in Spanish, aiding comprehension and memorization.

- The second half flips this order—English first, then Spanish, and English again—helping you practice translation in both directions for better mastery.

Benefits:

- Concise Learning: Focuses on one-sentence facts to ensure every word learned is impactful and directly related to your interests, making them easier to remember.

- Reinforcement: Alternating languages for each fact naturally strengthens vocabulary and grammar.

- Engagement: Learning vocabulary through topics you're passionate about keeps the process dynamic and relevant.

- Dual Knowledge: You enrich your understanding of a specific subject while learning a new language.
