Nice Classic Piece for Promoters' Shelf

Voice Lessons: Classroom Activities to Teach Diction, Detail, Imagery, Syntax, and Tone
Nancy Dean

Maupin House Publishing, 2000

Great book for HS English teachers!
Voice is perhaps the hardest of the 6 traits to teach. With my sophomore core English students, I would do 1 voice lesson each week for their warm up and it was amazing how much more accessible that vague idea of "voice" came to both myself and my students over the ...

Detail in Contemporary Residential Architecture: Includes CD-ROM
Virginia McLeod

Laurence King Publishers, 2007

Sets the standard
I've purchased one too many architecture books that have cool buildings with nice photos, overly self-indulgent artistic descriptions, and really not much else that is useful. Despite its title, I was expecting this book to be similar to those other ones, if only ...

Good ideas and thoughtful touches
I agree with the other reviewers that this is a great guide for young men who are trying to learn to dress nicely, perhaps for the first time in their lives. I keep it on my dresser and find myself referring to it frequently. My favorite feature of the book is that ...

Better than I hoped it would be
