Описание: In 1822, Clement Clarke Moore created the classic Christmas poem, "The Night Before Christmas," for his daughter. Here, in verse and accompanied by over 50 richly detailed illustrations, is the story of the writing of this classic. It is based on the history of the poem as passed down through the generations of the Moore family and told to the author by Dinghy Sharp, the great-great-granddaughter of Clement Moore. Not only does the story of the beautiful and enduring poems creation unfold in this tale, but many of the terms and actions of the characters in "The Night Before Christmas" are explained, including why stockings were hung, why windows were shuttered, what coursers were, and what exactly sugarplums that danced through childrens heads really were. Perhaps most moving, is Moores motivation and inspiration for the creation of the poem. This lovely edition is a natural companion to "The Night Before Christmas," which is included in Moores own handwriting at the tales conclusion. This story is sure to become an equally valued part of the holiday tradition.

Описание: Excerpt from Kimball's Business English: With Lessons on Business Letter Writing, Capitalization, and Punctuation The design of this book is a thoroughly practical one. The au thor has endeavored to present in a simple and logical way the subjects which relate directly to the facts of our language, and to the laws of its structure. It recognizes the fact that our lan guage is not grammarless. We emphatically disagree with those who decry the teaching of grammar, and who even insist that the English language is devoid of grammar. Grammar is an ex cellent mental gymnastic. It is highly essential that, when teach ing a child to speak, the foundation be laid for the correct use of the English sentence. The great trouble has been with our young people, and many of the older ones, that they did not know when they had made a correct sentence. Every one who expects to write good English should master the elementary forms and principles of grammar, but this should be done in connection with composition and critical reading. Un fortunately, composition has been much neglected in our schools, and we are just beginning to realize the fact that such neglect is a grievous mistake. To supplement the ordinary composition work the author has introduced the subject of letter-writing, a most interesting and profitable study and one which furnishes ample material for this work. It is generally agreed that it is not an easy thing to write a good letter. However, it often becomes very simple when the pupil finds out just how it is done. A good composer, penman, and speller will make a fine letter-writer. Application and persistent efiort for a little time should qualify a person to be able to write fluently upon any business or social subject.

Описание: American writers have been fascinated by the ring, both the primal contest inside the ropes and the crazy carnival world outside them. From neighborhood gyms and smoke-filled arenas to star-studded casinos and exotic locales, they have chronicled unforgettable stories about determination and dissipation, about great champions and punch-drunk has-beens, about colorful entourages and outrageous promoters, and, inevitably along the way, about race, class, and violence in America. Like baseball, boxing has a vivid culture and language all its own, one that has proven irresistible to career journalists and literary writers alike. The Library of America presents a gritty and glittering anthology of a century of the very best writing and reportage about the fights. Here are Jack London on the immortal Jack Johnson; H. L. Mencken and Irvin S. Cobb on Jack Dempsey vs. Georges Carpentier, dubbed "The Fight of the Century"; Richard Wright on Joe Louis's historic victory over Max Schmeling; A. J. Liebling's brilliantly comic portrait of a manager who really identifies with his fighter; Jimmy Cannon on the inimitable Archie Moore; James Baldwin and Gay Talese on the haunted Floyd Patterson; George Plimpton on Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X; Norman Mailer on the "Rumble in the Jungle"; Mark Kram on the "Thrilla in Manila"; Pete Hamill on legendary trainer and manager Cus D'Amato; Mark Kriegel on Oscar de la Hoya; and David Remnick and Joyce Carol Oates on Mike Tyson. National Book Award-winning novelist Colum McCann ("Let the Great World Spin") weighs in with a foreword.
