EBK: SKILLS FOR SCHOLARS: STELLAR ENGLISH: DOWN-TO-EARTH GDE

<P>This indispensable guide covers essential principles of English grammar and usage. It lays out the fundamentals of effective writing, from word choice and punctuation to parts of speech and common errors. The author emphasizes how formal written English—though only a subdialect of the language—enables writers to reach a wide and heterogenous audience. His many example sentences illustrating grammatical principles tilt in an otherworldly direction, making up a science fiction story involving alien invasion. Reading the book through will not only help you with your grammar but also reveal how the story ends! This invaluable brief handbook for native and nonnative speakers alike avoids the jargon and emphasis on outdated rules found in typical grammar guides and shows how good writing uses carefully constructed language that’s at once appropriate to an audience and communicates—without distractions or confusion—just what the writer wants.</P>
