"Learn to Think" takes a cross-curriculum approach and offers a wide range of exercises in all significant thinking skills areas: Organisational; Analytical; Evaluative; and, Creative.

Offers four different ways of thinking about why we read literature - for recognition, enchantment, knowledge, and shock. Argues for a new “phenomenology” in literary studies that incorporates the historical and social dimensions of reading. Includes examples of literature from a wide range of national literary traditions
This book exemplifies, analyses and describes different types of figurative meanings, or tropes, and rhythmical schemes in natural verbal language. It should be of interest to anyone who looks for linguistically oriented information about these questions. The book focuses on figurative language in Standard English, but the analyses and explanations given should be valid also for other languages. Simile, personification, oxymoron, hyperbole, understatement, symbolic language and punning are dealt with, and there is a chapter on rhythmical schemes, but the main part of the book is about metaphor and metonymy, including synecdoche.
