The approach to language and grammar that motivates this book is unabashedly functional; grammar is not just a system of empty rules, it is a means to an end, an instrument for constructing concise coherent communication. In grammar as in music, good expression rides on good form. Figuratively and literally, grammar like musical form must make sense. But for the instrument to serve its purpose, it must first exist; the rules must be real, they can be explicitly described and taught. This book is intended for both students and teachers, at college level, for both native and nonnative speakers.
This book has two objectives: 1) to reintroduce humanity to the humanities, and 2) to present a foundation constructed in the reality of the natural languages upon which our studies in the humanities are justified and from which they can to be successfully taught.

slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations
No matter where you are on the organizational ladder, the odds are high that you've delivered a high-stakes presentation to your peers, your boss, your customers, or the general public. Presentation software is one of the few tools that requires professionals to think visually on an almost daily basis. But unlike verbal skills, effective visual expression is not easy, natural, or actively taught in schools or business training programs. slide:ology fills that void.

Everything You've Been Taught is Wrong
Everything You've Been Taught is Wrong (Portable Professor) by James W. Loewen The study of the past is supposed to help us make sense of our place in history and inform the choices we make every day. But what if the lessons we were taught in American History class were not true? In this eye-opening and provocative series of lectures, renowned historian James W. Loewen, author of Lies My Teacher Told Me, unravels the fact from the fiction, the unvarnished truths from the convenient myths, and explains the reasons American history has so often been distorted.

Stay Smart Workbook: 188 Advanced Sentence Diagramming Exercises: Grammar the Easy Way (2012)
This student workbook does not contain the answer key and is to be used in conjunction with the Stay Smart Answer Key.) Did you know that many students today aren't taught grammar? It's true. That was my experience through high school, and it lead me to feel self-conscious about my writing and speaking for a very long time. Things changed for me when I entered one of my English classes in college. I was lucky enough to have a fabulous professor who taught me grammar and sentence diagramming. Finally, everything made sense, and it felt great! I assume that since you're looking at this book, you were also lucky enough to have a fabulous teacher teach the same things to you.
