List Price 5.95 MSU15 Discount Price $5.50This book is also part of our anthology, The Amazing Anthology of Writing, Grammar, and Vocabulary TipsKim Kerrigan and Steven Wells created Words for the Wise as a vocabulary primer for business professionals so they will know the distinct difference between words that are often puzzling-even for well-educated people. And, in this primer, their ninth book dealing with communication skills in the contemporary workplace, the authors have provided business people with a handy and invaluable resource. Kerrigan and Wells have been conducting communication skills workshops for over 25 years, and have observed numerous words that befuddle business people in both their written and oral communication. So, these selected words, because they sound alike or are spelled similarly, are placed in appropriate sets throughout Words for the Wise. Kerrigan and Wells further provide readers with a clear, concise, and practical definition of these words as they are most commonly used. Also, they have given concrete examples of these words in contexts that will be easily recognized by readers of Words for the Wise. Because it was never their intention to provide all possible meanings for a particular word, the authors purposely did not include all definitions or potential uses for these words. Rather, Kerrigan and Wells focused on the most familiar and timely applications of the words chosen for their concise and lively primer. With the rich collection of words in Words for the Wise, readers will strengthen their understanding of commonly used words, quicken their search for the most suitable words, and enhance all of their oral and written communication. Equally important, readers of Words for the Wise will especially discover many reasons to explore and enjoy the world of words.
