The Least You Should Know about English: Writing Skills (13th edition)The Least You Should Know about English: Writing Skills (13th edition)

Most English textbooks cover more than you need to know. This book will present the least you should know in order to write with clarity and confidence. Improving your writing skills doesn’t require memorizing complex grammatical terms like gerund, auxiliary verb, or demonstrative pronoun. You can write well without knowing such technical labels if you understand certain key concepts—what we call “the least you should know about English.” The concepts covered in the four parts of this book progress from smaller structures to larger ones but can be approached in any order.

It has been recorded since at least 1500 AD, and today's vocabulary, taken from every major English-speaking country, runs to over 125,000 slang words and phrases.

Henry VI: A Good, Simple and Innocent Man

Henry VI: A Good, Simple and Innocent ManHenry VI, son of the all-conquering Henry V, was one of the least able and least successful of English kings. His long reign, which started when he was only nine months old, ended in catastrophe, with the loss of England's territories in France and a bankrupt England's long decline into civil war: the wars of the Roses. Yet, failure though Henry undoubtedly was, he remains an enigma. Was he always, as he became in the last disastrous years of his rule, a holy fool, simple-minded to the point of insanity and prey to the ambitions of others? Or was he more active and, as some have suggested, actively malign?
