The Book of Spells and Misspells (Second Edition)

Dr. Valerie Yule takes her expertise lightly. She has a mind loaded with information about present & past spelling of the English language, from text messaging all the way back, so the reader learns a lot. But beyond that, book provides a unique view, accurate but mischievous. It is loaded with funny trivia about spelling. Those who speak or teach on educational subjects should keep it in their reference library as an unfailing supply of humorous remarks, limericks, anecdotes & snide observations, by past and present writers, about the way our language is written. Those who have enjoyed Eats, Shoots and Leaves  will also enjoy The Book of Spells and Misspells.

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language, 2nd ed.

The most diverse, enjoyable, and thought-provoking encyclopedia on language. Though not an alphabetical encyclopedia, the coverage of the 65 thematic chapters is encyclopedic--ideal for anyone interested in words, speech, writing, and thought, and certain to be a continual point of reference for any writer for years to come. Very Highly Recommended.

Learning to Speak a Second Language

This book is required reading for any busy professional person, student, or social service provider planning to learn a new spoken language. If you will soon be living or working in another culture where your business success, academic degrees, or your ability to communicate with others depends on your ability to speak another language, you will not have the time to waste on antiquated grammar-based language instruction.
