Summary

In the meticulously crafted "Hand-book of Punctuation," William Johnson Cocker presents a comprehensive guide designed to demystify the often-confounding rules of punctuation, capitalization, and letter-writing. With a clear and instructive tone, this work stands out in its pedagogical approach, offering readers not only the technicalities of English syntax but also practical exercises that enhance one's proficiency in written communication. The book emerges from the late 19th-century context, a period marked by heightened literacy and an emerging emphasis on effective written expression, making it an essential resource for both students and professionals alike. William Johnson Cocker, an eminent figure in the field of English education, was deeply motivated by the need for clarity and precision in written language. His scholarly pursuits and extensive teaching experience informed his belief in the foundational importance of grammatical conventions for effective communication. Cocker's commitment to fostering better writing skills reflects the cultural milieu of his time, where education was becoming increasingly accessible and essential in a rapidly industrializing society. I highly recommend "Hand-book of Punctuation" to anyone seeking to refine their writing skills or those involved in instruction. This book not only serves as a practical reference but also as a testament to the enduring necessity of punctuation in expressing thoughts clearly and coherently. Cocker's insights will undoubtedly enrich your understanding and application of language.

    Every time you communicate, you're trying to move someone to feel, think, and act. You're trying to make a point. But very few communicators—regardless of their purpose or position—know their points, have true points, or even understand what a point is, rendering themselves pointless. 
 
 
 
In this expanded second edition of the bestselling Get to the Point!, Joel Schwartzberg draws on his decades of experience as a strategic communications executive and public speaking coach to deliver a masterclass in high-impact communications for the digital age. 
 
 
 
Using his trademark encouraging and often humorous voice, Schwartzberg helps you create impactful speeches and slide presentations, emails and work chats, and Zoom and in-person meeting communications. The book will also help you conquer public speaking jitters; leverage AI tools to support—not replace—effective communication; avoid common communication pitfalls; and much more. Whether you're a C-suite executive, salesperson, scientist, or student, Get to the Point! is a blueprint for evolving your written and spoken communications from informing to inspiring and pointless to powerful.
