The 25 Rules of GrammarThe Essential Guide to Good EnglishJoseph Piercy

SummaryEnglish grammar is often said to be over-complicated and difficult to get to grips with, but the truthis that, while there are certain rules that should be obeyed, the language evolves and develops overtime—and quite rightly so. In this book, Joseph Piercy outlines the 25 rules that should be adheredto in written and spoken English, defining the rules themselves and then decoding them for thelayman so that he or she understands each rule and how it has been used and developed over time.In doing so, the author highlights the most common misuses—or plain errors—in the language, suchas apostrophes, "who" and "whom," and avoiding split infinitives and double negatives, while alsosetting the reader on to the right path to speaking and writing in good, plain English.

Break These Rules35 YA Authors on Speaking Up, Standing Out, and Being YourselfLuke Reynolds

SummaryIf you’re a girl, you should strive to look like the model on the cover of a magazine. If you’re a boy,

you should play sports and be good at them. If you’re smart, you should immediately go to college

after high school, and get a job that makes you rich. Above all, be normal.

Right?

Wrong, say 35 leading middle grade and young adult authors. Growing up is challenging

enough; it doesn’t have to be complicated by convoluted, outdated, or even cruel rules, both spoken

and unspoken. Parents, peers, teachers, the media, and the rest of society sometimes have

impossible expectations of teenagers. These restrictions can limit creativity, break spirits, and

demand that teens sacrifice personality for popularity.

In these personal, funny, moving, and poignant essays, Kathryn Erskine (Mockingbird), Matthew

Quick (The Silver Linings Playbook), Gary D. Schmidt (The Wednesday Wars), Sara Zarr (Story of a Girl),

and many others share anecdotes and lessons learned from their own lives in order to show you that

some rules just beg to be broken.

Why We Think the Things We ThinkPhilosophy in a NutshellAlain Stephen

SummaryHave you ever found yourself alone with your thoughts? Have you ever been asked if the glass ishalf full or half empty? Do you wonder what true happiness is or how to attain it? Or maybe nothingreally matters if everything is just an illusion or a dream? These ideas are some of the centralquestions of philosophical enquiry that have engaged and exasperated some of the greatest mindsthroughout human history, provoking argument and debate in an attempt to broaden the horizons ofhuman thought. Author Alain Stephen seeks to explore some of these key questions by tracing theirorigins in the writings of prominent thinkers through the ages, from the colonnades of ancientGreece to the intellectual salons of 20th-century France, and show how these ideas and conceptshave developed over time.
