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
K asks us “Is love the most revolutionary of all acts?” And in doing so delivers a swiftly morphing exploration of love that finds a fine balance between sensory impulse and moral testament. Each story being distinct but all drawn together with a common undertone that echoes the wants, struggles and aspirations of life as we seek to make meaning of it.
Celeste Willoughby, a beautiful heiress, full of wit and disdain for societal expectations, only has two problems: her most intimate friend Margaret and her father, who, has threatened to send her to an asylum for her promiscuity!
Trying to distil the essence of a good book down to a few short words is a thankless task because the qualities that define good books are, more often than not, quite elusive.
A child’s imagination is a wonderful thing. The suspension of disbelief comes easy to them. As we get older we think in terms of our willingness to suspend our critical faculties and believe something surreal whilst sacrificing realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment.
Have you ever come home to a hot bath strewn with rose petals and filled with bubbles, in a bathroom bedecked with scented candles and an ice cold glass of champagne fizzing invitingly on the side. If not you might be thinking poor me but you might want to think again!
The best time travel books in fiction have certainly gone through something of a transition.
