The Elements of Style

William Strunk Jr.

"Make every word tell."

William Strunk Jr. had one mission: to kill bad writing at the source. The original Elements of Style is a concentrate of linguistic discipline. It does not suggest; it commands. Strunk provides eight elementary rules of usage and ten principles of composition that remain the "Golden Rules" for anyone who wants to be understood. From his fierce defense of the active voice to his legendary insistence on brevity, Strunk's original text is a masterclass in literary efficiency. This is the book that taught a generation of writers that to be "vigorous," one must be "concise."

The Rules of Usage: Strunk tackles the mechanics of English with surgical precision. He settles the placement of the possessive apostrophe, the use of the serial comma, and the proper handling of the dash. These are the non-negotiables of the English language, presented in a format that can be memorized in a single afternoon.

The Philosophy of the Active Voice: "The active voice is usually more direct and vigorous than the passive." This single observation revolutionized modern communication. Strunk demonstrates how shifting the subject of a sentence can breathe life into stagnant text, turning a dull report into a compelling narrative.

Why It Is a Timeless Tool: The 1918 original is preferred by purists for its brevity and its unapologetic "tough love" approach to the English language. It is the perfect desk companion for students, editors, and professionals who want to strip away the fluff and communicate with maximum impact.

Parliamentary America - The...

Maxwell L. Stearns

Americans face increasingly stark choices each presidential election and a growing sense that our government can't solve the nation's most urgent challenges.  Our eighteenth-century system is ill-suited to our twenty-first-century world. Information-age technology has undermined our capacity to face common problems together and turned our democracy upside down, with gerrymanders letting representatives choose voters rather than voters choosing them. In Parliamentary America, Maxwell L. Stearns argues that the solution to these complex problems is a parliamentary democracy. 
 
 
 
Stearns considers such leading alternatives as ranked choice voting, the national popular vote, and congressional term limits, showing why these can't solve our constitutional crisis. Instead, three amendments—expanding the House of Representatives, having House party coalitions choose the president, and letting the House end a failing presidency based on no confidence—will produce a robust multiparty democracy. 
 
 
 
Stearns takes listeners on a world tour—England, France, Germany, Israel, Taiwan, Brazil, and Venezuela—showing what works in government, what doesn't, and how to make the best features our own. Genuine party competition and governing coalitions, commonplace across the globe, may seem like a fantasy in the United States. But we can make them a reality.
