Writing Skills for the GRE & GMAT (Peterson's Writing Skills for the GRE & GMAT Test)

Writing Skills for the GRE & GMAT (Peterson's Writing Skills for the GRE & GMAT Test)This book helped me score a 5.5 out of 6 on the writing portion. When I first began studying fot the GRE, I was intimidated by all the elements of the writing section: a vast pool of vague topics, impossible time limits, and my own cluttered opinions. I found Peterson's guide to be a practical refresher on rhetoric, fine tuned for maximum performance on the 45 minute and 30 minute essays.

My first few practice essays were rushed and unclear. On the day of the exam, I found myself with EXTRA time to edit and even add an extra paragraph. This could not have happened without Peterson.

Read It Yourself - Aladdin (Level 1)Read It Yourself - Aladdin (Level 1)
Read it Yourself is a series of beautifully illustrated traditional tales and informative non-fiction, written with a carefully structured vocabulary to make them accessible to young readers. The four levels use a progressively wider vocabulary to challenge new readers as their reading abilities improve.


Level 1 is suitable for children who are making their first attempts at reading. The stories are told in a very simple way using a small number of frequently repeated words. The sentences on each page are closely supported by pictures to help with reading, and to offer lively details to talk about.

The book was kindly provided by lenandana

69
 
 
altAnswering the question "What is death?" by focusing on the individual is blinkered. It restricts attention to a narrow zone around the individual body of a creature. Instead, how expansive is the answer we receive when we look at the context of death within the biosphere. Death now is tied to all of life, via the atmosphere and ocean. Death supports the  biological enterprise of making abundant the green and squiggly life. Talk about death has headed us straight into a contemplation of life, not only individual life, but big life, life on a global scale. Death and life are neatly dovetailed by the supreme cabinetmaker of evolution.

International Economics: Theory and Policy (6th Edition) International Economics: Theory and Policy (6th Edition)
by Paul R. Krugman and Maurice Obstfeld

For anybody - but especially students - interested in exploring the subject of international economics, this is the book to start with. It is illuminating (as it is always the case with Krugman's writings) on otherwise technical concepts as comparative advantage, trade policy and exchange rate determinants, but it is also entertaining, with its "reality checks".
