In &lt;i&gt;Several Short Sentences About Writing&lt;/i&gt;, he sets out to help us unlearn that &amp;ldquo;wisdom&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;about genius, about creativity, about writer&amp;rsquo;s block, topic sentences, and outline&amp;mdash;and understand that writing is just as much about thinking, noticing, and learning what it means to be involved in the act of writing. There is no gospel, no orthodoxy, no dogma in this book. Instead it is a gathering of starting points in a journey toward lively, lucid, satisfying self-expression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Mencken&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;eBook&lt;/b&gt;, 656 pages | Vintage | Literary Criticism &amp; Collections - Essays; Language Arts - Linguistics | &lt;b&gt;$11.99&lt;/b&gt; | March 20, 2013 | 978-0-307-83111-8 (0-307-83111-6)&lt;p&gt;Before there was any such thing as political correctness, H. L. Mencken  was flouting it. He was also cheerfully deriding the precursors of  family values and lambasting the guardians of public virtue. This  historic new collection is further evidence that Mencken was our most  astute, stylish, and biliously funny commentator on the eternal American  quackeries. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;A Second Mencken Chrestomathy&lt;/i&gt; (a word  meaning &amp;ldquo;a collection of choice passages from an author or authors&amp;rdquo;) was  compiled by the sage of Baltimore before he suffered the stroke that  ended his career and has only now been retrieved from his private papers  by the columnist and Mencken biographer Terry Teachout. Its 238  selections&amp;mdash;many of which have never before been published in book  form&amp;mdash;encompass subjects from Americana (&amp;ldquo;The Commonwealth of Morons&amp;rdquo;) to  men and women (&amp;ldquo;Sex on the Stage&amp;rdquo;) and from criminology (&amp;ldquo;More and  Better Psychopaths&amp;rdquo;) to the pursuit of happiness (&amp;ldquo;Alcohol&amp;rdquo;). The result  is Mencken at his most engaging, maddening, heretical, and hilarious.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Friendly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;eBook&lt;/b&gt;, 384 pages | Random House | Language Arts - Journalism | &lt;b&gt;$11.99&lt;/b&gt; | March 6, 2013 | 978-0-307-82440-0 (0-307-82440-3)&lt;p&gt;This discourse on the  importance of television in society presents Friendly's uncannily  prescient views on the corrosive effect of money on the news business,  the sensationalization of news reporting, and the viewing public's  appetite for quality broadcasting. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With Edward R. Murrow, Fred  Friendly practically invented television journalism. Through telling  anecdotes and penetrating analysis, he recalls his collaborations with  Murrow, from their stinging documentary on Senator Joseph McCarthy to  CBS's pioneering coverage of the burgeoning civil rights and  anti-Vietnam War movements. Friendly also recounts his resignation as  president of CBS News in 1966, when the network ran reruns of I Love  Lucy instead of Senate hearings on the war in Vietnam. Following that  controversial decision, he began writing this memorable book.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

With the Irish language rapidly disappearing, Great Blasket became a magnet for scholars, linguists, and writers during the Gaelic renaissance. As we follow these visitors&amp;mdash;among them John Millington Synge, author of &lt;i&gt;The Playboy of the Western World&lt;/i&gt;&amp;mdash;we are captivated both by the tiny group of islanders who kept an entire country&amp;rsquo;s past alive and by their complex relationships with those who brought the island&amp;rsquo;s story to the larger world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

When we explore the journeys, arrivals and changes of these words, they present us with some extraordinary stories. School for example, comes indirectly from the Greek word for leisure, and lord is made from Old English words meaning keeper of bread.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This book presents the histories of some common words, showing how they have arrived at their present use and form. Entries are grouped into nearly twenty subject areas, such as home, transport, food; for each word the author shows how it was built from existing words, or how a root word in another language has been taken borrowed by English at a given point in history. Some of the voyages are via many other languages, some direct; some of them are extraordinary, some deceptively simple. Changes of spelling and meaning over time are presented, and where there are disagreements about where a word has come from these are discussed. The material is presented clearly and simply, and is supported by references within the text to previous writers and dictionaries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

This book examines the histories of the names of foods, ingredients, utensils, drinks, cooking methods, and dishes to show how the vocabulary of English has reflected the ways speakers of the language have interacted with their tastes, their environment and other cultures.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;250 words which have entered English over the past fifteen hundred years are examined, ranging from Old English adoptions from Latin via French, to U.S. adoptions from Chinese.  Changes of spelling and meaning and disagreements about the history of the words are discussed, supported by references within the text to authoritative food historians and dictionary writers from Johnson and Webster to the most recent publications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

It was during the nineteenth century that hitherto local games with relaxed and varying rules were formalized. During this process terminologies developed to refer to these new standardized sports, borrowing, modifying and redefining words from all walks of life in sometimes strange and unexpected ways. Considering such subjects as why sport shares so many words with the fields of hunting and conflict, and how English sports terms have been both adopted from and given to other languages, this book looks at how words have come into the field of sport and how they have developed and changed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

The story begins in 1973, in the offices of &lt;i&gt;The Atlantic Monthly,&lt;/i&gt; in Boston, where a young freelance writer named Tracy Kidder came looking for an assignment. Richard Todd was the editor who encouraged him. From that article grew a lifelong association. Before long, Kidder&amp;rsquo;s &lt;i&gt;The Soul of a New Machine,&lt;/i&gt; the first book the two worked on together, had won the Pulitzer Prize. It was a heady moment, but for Kidder and Todd it was only the beginning of an education in the art of nonfiction.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Good Prose &lt;/i&gt;explores three major nonfiction forms: narratives, essays, and memoirs. Kidder and Todd draw candidly, sometimes comically, on their own experience&amp;mdash;their mistakes as well as accomplishments&amp;mdash;to demonstrate the pragmatic ways in which creative problems get solved. They also turn to the works of a wide range of writers, novelists as well as nonfiction writers, for models and instruction. They talk about narrative strategies (and about how to find a story, sometimes in surprising places), about the ethical challenges of nonfiction, and about the realities of making a living as a writer. They offer some tart and emphatic opinions on the current state of language. And they take a clear stand against playing loose with the facts. Their advice is always grounded in the practical world of writing and publishing.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Good Prose&lt;/i&gt;&amp;mdash;like Strunk and White&amp;rsquo;s &lt;i&gt;The Elements of Style&amp;mdash;&lt;/i&gt;is a succinct, authoritative, and entertaining arbiter of standards in contemporary writing, offering guidance for the professional writer and the beginner alike. This wise and useful book is the perfect companion for anyone who loves to read good books and longs to write one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Praise for &lt;i&gt;Good Prose&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;Good Prose: The Art of Nonfiction&lt;/i&gt; takes us into the back room behind the shop, where strong, effective, even beautiful sentences are crafted. Tracy Kidder and his longtime editor, Richard Todd, offer lots of useful advice, and, still more, they offer insight into the painstaking collaboration, thoughtfulness, and hard work that create the masterful illusion of effortless clarity.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Stephen Greenblatt, author of &lt;i&gt;The Swerve: How the World Became Modern&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;Good Prose&lt;/i&gt; offers consummate guidance from one of our finest writers and his longtime editor. Explaining that &amp;lsquo;the techniques of fiction never belonged exclusively to fiction,&amp;rsquo; Kidder and Todd make a persuasive case that &amp;lsquo;no techniques of storytelling are prohibited to the nonfiction writer, only the attempt to pass off invention as facts.&amp;rsquo; Writers of all stripes, from fledgling journalists to essayists of the highest rank, stand to benefit from this engrossing manual.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Jon Krakauer, author of &lt;i&gt;Into the Wild&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;What a pleasure to read a book about good prose written in such good prose! It will make many of its readers better writers (though none as good as Tracy Kidder, who sets an impossible standard), and it will make all of them wish they could hire Richard Todd to work his editorial magic on their words.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Anne Fadiman, author of &lt;i&gt;The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Each of&amp;nbsp;the top stories is presented at length, alongside updates from the investigative reporters who broke the stories.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Beyond the Top-25 stories, additional chapters delve further into timely media topics: The Censored News&amp;nbsp;and Media Analysis section provides annual updates on Junk Food News and News Abuse, Censored Deja&amp;nbsp;Vu, signs of hope in the alternative and news media, and the state of media bias and alternative coverage&amp;nbsp;around the world. In the Truth Emergency section, scholars and journalists take a critical look at the US/NATO&amp;nbsp;military-industrial-media empire. And in the Project Censored International section, the meaning of media&amp;nbsp;democracy worldwide is explored in close association with Project Censored affiliates in universities and at&amp;nbsp;media organizations all over the world.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;A perennial favorite of booksellers, teachers, and readers everywhere, &lt;i&gt;Censored &lt;/i&gt;is one of the strongest life&amp;nbsp;signs of our current collective desire to get the news we citizens need--despite what Big Media tells us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>
