  A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach 
  
  KEY FEATURES 
  - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules 
  - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules 
  - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners 
  - Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text 
  - A comprehension section comprising texts from different genres so that learners may relate grammar to different types of works produced in English 
  - Phonics in Grades 1 and 2 to teach the very basis of language 
  - Uniquely stylised illustrations 
  - Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’ 
  - Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts 
  - Digital component to cater to a technology-driven classroom 
  
  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.

  Hispanic Market Power -...

  Isaac Mizrahi

  The United States Hispanic segment represents the most prominent demographic growth in the country, and a huge and untapped business opportunity for companies willing to move away from preconceived notions and market effectively to Hispanic customers. This book shows you how. 
   
   
   
  Now more than ever, corporations operating in the United States should see the Hispanic population at the core of their existing and future strategies, but many leaders believe Hispanic marketing is the same marketing you run for Anglos but translated into Spanish, or that all Hispanics are undocumented immigrants with no purchasing power, or that using Mariachis in their communications is the way to connect with this diverse segment. It's time for a modern approach, and Isaac Mizrahi, one of the country's leading voices in multicultural marketing, uses his experience as a corporate executive, agency CEO, and industry leader to help businesses grow by leveraging the Hispanic consumer segment to drive sales. 
   
   
   
  Filled with straightforward talk, illustrative case studies, and pragmatic suggestions and recommendations, this book counterbalances academic books on the topic with little connection to reality and other books with a more political standpoint. This is a business book created by a marketer for other marketers and business leaders looking to succeed.

  The Third History of Man

  MD John Bershof

  In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
  The Third History of Man leaves bacteria in the rear-view mirror and jumps to viruses and viral infections, the cold, the flu and COVID-19, not just another flu. We’ll cover epidemics, pandemics, and vaccines, the pox infections, and the Spock principle that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few … or the one. From COVID and the rise of Zoom, we’ll venture into the rise of Homo sapiensand the fall of Neanderthals, the high sea adventures of Darwin aboard and the high sea adventures of dementia. Our travels will take us along the Silk Road and Spice Trade, another visit with the Age of Discovery when masted ships and European explorers went looking for that elusive sea route to the Far East, and looking for gold, annihilating huge swaths of indigenous Americans at every port of disembarkation, not by the pointy end of a sword, but by tiny infectious microbes. We’ll examine colonialism at its finest, the sordid European history of imperialism and the land grab into Africa and the New World Americas.

  This book bundle delves into three fundamental virtues that define an individual's character and their ability to build trust, maintain strong relationships, and act in alignment with their values. By embracing Honesty, Integrity, and Fidelity, we can lead lives of authenticity, accountability, and dedication, enhancing not only our personal growth but also our impact on those around us. 
  Honesty is the cornerstone of any relationship, whether personal or professional. This section explores the importance of truthfulness, transparency, and the courage to speak the truth even when it’s difficult. Honesty builds trust, fosters respect, and allows for genuine connections with others. 
  Integrity goes beyond telling the truth; it’s about doing what is right, even when no one is watching. This part emphasizes the importance of moral uprightness, consistency in one’s actions, and standing firm in one’s values and principles. Integrity is about maintaining a strong moral compass, regardless of external pressures. 
  Fidelity involves loyalty and faithfulness, particularly in relationships and commitments. This section highlights the value of remaining dedicated, whether in marriage, friendships, or work, and the importance of standing by one's promises and commitments. Fidelity is a virtue that enhances personal relationships and professional integrity. 
  Together, these virtues represent a strong character founded on trust, consistency, and dedication. This book provides practical guidance on how to cultivate these virtues in everyday life, promoting a life of genuine action, steadfast relationships, and lasting impact.
