SUMMARY
Words are fundamental to both speech and written communication, but it’s not just the words that fascinate us, we love to learn about their use and the complexities of language too.
Felix Schrödinger and Pyotr Stilovsky have compiled in this, the fourth volume of the series, a compendium of information that will appeal to all who love language and especially those who seek out knowledge for its own sake.
The BookViral Review: Genre – Education and Reference
Words have their own power and yet it seems linguistic decline is a casualty of today’s social media platforms where brevity is king. Few reference books are meant to be read from cover to cover but open The Power of Words and the authors will quickly have you hooked! Condensing word power into one accessible reference book, this book is a superb choice for those wishing to learn more words and increase their vocabulary.
Arranged thematically, this isn’t a compendium of overly obscure and bizarre terms. For wordsmiths and English language buffs or those simply interested in both usage and building vocabulary, Stilovsky and Schrödinger have crammed a lot into a little over 350 pages. From Acronyms to Eponyms, Foreign Expressions to Malaprops. You could read through The Power of Words from cover to cover or open any page and find yourself equally enlightened! They haven’t given us outlandish words which will never be of use and writers, in particular, will find them indispensable.
In terms of connecting with people, whether it’s making a human connection or through social media, the power of words should never be underestimated. A book that will be referenced over and over again The Power of Words (1) is highly recommended. We look forward to it’s companion volume, The Power Of Words (2) in 2020
A taut, exciting read that throws surprises at the reader on a regular basis Assignment Potsdam; Countdown To War proves a powerful debut for Charlie FitzGerald’s Colonel McDesmond Series and a must-read for fans of Military and Historical Fiction Espionage Thrillers.
Whilst not lingering in extraneous detail, Dieters successfully conveys a full complement of emotions, using pathetic fallacy and sensory imagery to intensify his players, as they evolve against a highly charged background and a believable historical backstory.
Few Crime Fiction authors genuinely excel at successfully misleading their readers and revealing an unlikely suspect as the real villain of the story and those that do can invariably be found at the very top of Whodunit Bestseller lists.
Let me let you into a secret. You are unlikely to become a rich writer. And before you start waving Harry Potter and Game of Thrones under my nose, please scroll back to the word ‘unlikely’.
Albert Einstein said that. No doubt imagination, then, is a great thing to have if it yields such rich thinking in adulthood-But when does imagination start in the brain? And how important is reading for developing imagination young minds?
History and present day testifies to the struggles women face and have faced to earn what should be the natural right of all humankind – fairness.
