DESCRIPTION:
My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

Kneading Journalism - Essays on...

Tony Ganzer

“Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.” 
By the time a photographer spotted these words on a shirt at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in November 2016, it had long been clear that a growing number of Americans had not-so-subtle reservations about journalists. In an age that some demonize the media as an “enemy of the people,” it’s time for a heart-to-heart about what journalism is, and what it could be. And while we break down the news business, let’s also bake some bread. 
In Kneading Journalism, award-winning international journalist Tony Ganzer provides an insider's view of the Fourth Estate through compelling personal narratives and keen insights. Essays transport the reader from a bread riot before the French Revolution, to the inside of Germany’s public media and bread industries, to the streets of post-revolutionary Cairo, all while exploring the who, what, and why of journalism. 
Kneading Journalism provides readers bite-sized thoughts on journalism and society, and basic bread recipes for any level of baker. 
Before we can break bread, we need to bake bread.

Anaximander - Secrets of the...

Hector Davidson

Anaximander’s legacy is vast and multifaceted, cementing his place as one of the pioneering figures in the history of philosophy and science. As a pre-Socratic philosopher from Miletus, Anaximander made significant contributions that laid the groundwork for future scientific and philosophical inquiry. 
Anaximander is best known for his revolutionary ideas about the cosmos. He proposed that the universe originated from the apeiron, an indefinite or boundless substance, which he believed was the source of all things. This concept marked a significant departure from the mythological explanations of the cosmos prevalent in his time, suggesting instead a naturalistic origin of the universe. His cosmological model, which included the idea of a cylindrical Earth suspended in space, demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of celestial mechanics for his era. 
Often regarded as the first true scientist, Anaximander applied rational and empirical approaches to understand natural phenomena. He was one of the first to propose that natural laws govern the world, an idea that forms the cornerstone of scientific inquiry. His work in biology suggested that life originated in water and that humans evolved from fish-like ancestors, anticipating evolutionary theory millennia before Darwin.
