Synopsis

In "The Elements of Style," William Strunk succinctly distills the principles of English composition into a practical guide for writers and scholars alike. Initially published in 1918, this seminal work features a clear and direct literary style that emphasizes brevity and clarity, supported by examples that illustrate Strunk's rules for effective writing. The blend of prescriptive grammar and stylistic guidance is not only a reflection of the emerging modernist tendencies in literature but also serves as a critical tool for anyone wishing to refine their prose. Strunk's insistence on the importance of revision, simplicity, and precision resonates through its pages, making it a cornerstone of American writing instruction. William Strunk, a professor of English at Cornell University, crafted this guide as a response to the often convoluted teaching of composition and rhetoric he encountered. His commitment to clear communication was influenced by his own academic experiences and the recognition that effective writing is foundational for success in both academic and professional contexts. Strunk's work was later expanded by his pupil, E.B. White, emphasizing its lasting impact on generations of writers. "The Elements of Style" is essential for anyone eager to enhance their writing skills, whether they are students, professionals, or literary enthusiasts. Its timeless advice encourages writers to communicate with clarity and confidence, making it a vital addition to any writer's library.

    Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (April 15, 1892 - April 15, 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker who worked with her father Casper and other family members to help, reportedly, 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in their home. Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, but released after ten months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote, "The Hiding Place," a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp. It was later made in to a movie. The following is part one of a speech ten Boom gave called, Authority Over Demons.

    In a world where stress is unavoidable—where political turmoil, pandemic fallout, and personal challenges touch everyone—this book offers guidance for cutting through the emotional static that can hold teachers back. A specialist in pedagogical strategies with extensive classroom experience, Elizabeth A. Norell explains how an educator's presence, or authenticity, can be critical to creating transformational spaces for students. And presence, she argues, means uncovering and understanding one's own internal struggles and buried insecurities—stresses often left unconfronted in an academic culture that values knowing over feeling. Presenting the research on how and why such inner work unlocks transformational learning, The Present Professor equips educators with the tools for crafting a more authentic presence in their teaching work. 
     
     
     
    At a time of crisis in higher education, as teachers struggle to find new ways to relate to, think about, and instruct students, this book holds a key. Implementing more inclusive pedagogies, Norell suggests, requires sorting out our own identities. In short, if we want to create spaces where students have the confidence, comfort, and psychological safety to learn and grow, we have to create spaces where we do, too. The Present Professor is dedicated to that proposition, and to helping educators build that transformational space.

    We broke our new series on learning Japanese 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 Japanese.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Japanese 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 Japanese 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 Japanese. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Japanese at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Japanese, 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
