Ayrshire - A Historical Guide

Casa editrice: Origin

Sinossi

Ayrshire has a rich and varied history. The region has been inhabited from earliest times, as the remains of duns, cairns and barrows show. In the medieval period it played a key role in the emergence and consolidation of a unified Scotland, and it was from one of Ayrshire's many powerful families that the Stewart line of kings emerged. From this period there remain many castles and tower-houses. In more recent times, great houses such as Culzean were rebuilt by the finest architects of their day, and there are a number of important sites dating from the Industrial Revolution.
This book is both a narrative history and a guidebook featuring maps and plans as well as a detailed gazetteer enabling the visitor to locate and fully appreciate the many sites described.

Greek Made Easy - Beginner -...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Greek down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Greek.
In Unit 1 you will hear Greek decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Greek speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Greek. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Greek at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Greek, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
Topics covered in this book:
1. Asking about family
2. Asking about relationship status
3. Expressing frequency
4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies
5. Using quantifiers/determiners
6. Talking about preference

English Vocabulary Builder The:...

Lingo Valley

Words matter. They have the capacity to capture a special moment, elevate people’s opinion of you, or resonate with an audience with a beautiful turn of phrase. 
Used incorrectly, though, words - and specifically a limited vocabulary - cripple our ability to describe our experiences and articulate our thoughts and values. 
The aim of this book is to not only enrich your vocabulary and way of speaking, but to also bring other people’s words to life. The book is appropriate for first and non-native English speakers. Whether you are preparing for an SAT exam, or you want to speak more eloquently at your next meeting or interview, this is the book for you!
