Описание: _______________________'An utterly delightful book to read, Dreyer's English will stand among the classics on how to use the English language properly.' ELIZABETH STROUT'A complete joy. Wise, funny, no-nonsense, stylish and brilliantly practical.' RACHEL JOYCE_______________________An indispensable, New York Times-bestselling guide to the craft of writing from Random House's long-time copy chief and one of Twitter's leading language gurus. We all write, all the time: books, blogs, tweets, emails, emails, emails - and we all want to write better.
Benjamin Dreyer is here to help. As Random House's copy chief, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike - not to mention his followers on social media - for playfully, brilliantly deconstructing the English language.
Dreyer's English is the distillation of everything he has learned from copyediting thousands of books, the perfect guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward. Both authoritative and amusing, Dreyer's English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en-dash; the rules and non-rules of grammar, including why it's OK to begin a sentence with 'And' or 'But' and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it's best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including 'very', 'rather', 'of course', and the dreaded 'actually'. And yes: 'Only godless savages eschew the Oxford comma.'Stuffed with advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people's prose, and - perhaps best of all - an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language.

Описание:
At Isabella's thirteenth birthday celebration, her father announces he is beginning a new tradition-to write her a letter every year on her birthday until she turns twenty-one. The letters will chronicle her life while serving as a reminder that no matter what happens in life, God is always faithful.
Seven years have passed since Isabella last opened her memory box of letters. Now that she is celebrating twenty-eight years of life, it is time to open the box again. Life has not always been a smooth ride for Isabella, but despite the loss of her father, she has remained focused on her dreams. Now as she prepares to embark on a medical internship that will take her from Louisiana to Italy, she has no idea what awaits. As she re-reads her collection of birthday letters, Isabella revisits their messages in the most unexpected of ways. But will she accept the divine invitation to recapture her childlike faith and once again believe that the moon is being held by heavenly strings?
In this inspirational tale, a young woman revisits a collection of letters penned by her father as she enters a new chapter and searches for a way to reconnect with God and her faith.

A young reader's adaptation of Mighty Justice: My Life in Civil Rights, the memoir of activist and trailblazer Dovey Johnson Roundtree, by Katie McCabe.
Raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the heart of Jim Crow, Dovey Johnson Roundtree felt the sting of inequality at an early age and made a point to speak up for justice. She was one of the first Black women to break the racial and gender barriers in the US Army when women were barely allowed to serve; a fierce attorney in the segregated courtrooms of Washington, DC; and a minister in Black churches, where women had never before had the chance to speak. In 1955, Roundtree won a landmark bus desegregation case that eventually helped end "separate but equal" and destroy insidious Jim Crow laws across the South.
There are many key figures of the civil rights movement whose names don't often appear in history books, those who fought hard for equality behind the scenes. Developed with the full support of the Dovey Johnson Roundtree Educational Trust and adapted from her memoir, this book brings her inspiring, important story and voice to life.
