"Read in EnglishYou have already reread all the famous fairy tales - then it's time to read them in English. A series of books I read in English will help you with this.
All books are divided on the level of Starter A1 - Advanced B2 / C1, all texts are adapted and meet the requirements of the current English language program. This collection of fairy tales reflects British ethnoculture, enchants with its uniqueness and refined charm. The uniqueness of this collection is that it contains both popular works and rare, little-known outside the UK.
This extensively researched book argues that the development of a libertarian culture was an indispensable component of the rise of the West. The roots of the West's intellectual and artistic creativity should be traced back to the aristocratic warlike culture of Indo-European speakers.
This book is about being creative. Creativity lets you think of things in a way that no one may have realized before. This can lead to effective ways of solving problems of developing new ways to improve an existing situation. It can also be lots of fun! Creativity shows our uniqueness. Each child has creative potential that should be recognized and nurtured.
Fully updated and revised, this popular text now contains a chapter on language usage which introduces pragmatics, metaphor, speech and writing, and discourse analysis, a section on sign language, a glossary of key terms, and an expanded further reading section. Trask also addresses issues such as the uniqueness of the human language, language and meaning, variation in language, change in language, learning a first language and attitudes toward language.

Doctor Dolittle's Delusion: Animals and the Uniqueness of Human Language
Dr. Dolittle had it wrong, says the author of this fascinating book:
animals cannot use language. Stephen Anderson explains the difference
between communication and language and shows that animals do not have
the cognitive capacities necessary to acquire language.
"A masterly overview of what is currently known about the communicative
abilities of a wide range of creatures. . . . Anderson's synthesis
provides illuminating comparisons with the infinitely more
sophisticated resources of the human language. . . . An elegant
book."—Neil Smith, Nature
"Well-written, well-argued, and provocative. . . . I enjoyed this book
and recommend it to anyone interested in animal communication and the
evolution of language."—Marc Bekoff, Quarterly Review of Biology.
