J.P.Tarcher,U.S./Perigee Bks.,U.S. Creating Room to Read A Story of Hope in the
Book SynopsisThe inspirational story of a former Microsoft executive’s quest to build libraries around the world and share the love of booksWhat’s happened since John Wood left Microsoft to change the world? Just ask six million kids in the poorest regions of Asia and Africa. In 1999, at the age of thirty-five, Wood quit a lucrative career to found the nonprofit Room to Read. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as “the Andrew Carnegie of the developing world,” he strived to bring the lessons of the corporate world to the nonprofit sector—and succeeded spectacularly. In his acclaimed first book, Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, Wood explained his vision and the story of his start-up. Now, he tackles the organization’s next steps and its latest challenges—from managing expansion to raising money in a collapsing economy to publishing books for children who literally have no books in their native language.

University of Chicago Press Didos Daughters Literacy Gender Empire in Early
Book SynopsisOur common definition of literacy is the ability to read and write in one language. However from the 15th to the 17th centuries print culture led to many disputes over modes of literacy, as the transition from Latin to more vernacular forms of speech and writing escalated.Trade Review"This is a book of unique vision and breadth. There are very few scholars of early modernism who possess the combination of traditional erudition and theoretical expertise that Margaret Ferguson does. The sweeping, learned analysis in Dido's Daughters will provide an entirely new perspective on the complex dynamics among gender, literacy, and modernization." - Mary Beth Rose, author of Gender and Heroism in Early Modern English Literature

Baraka Books Exhilarating Prose: Cognitions, Contemplations,
Book SynopsisThis smartly illustrated literary miscellanea is intended to stimulate readers and writers of English prose. From "dead language – the speaks" (i.e., ad-speak, media-speak, corporate-speak) through "re-writing – Again?" to rules (to obey or not to obey), authors Barry Healey and Cordelia Strube examine what makes good and bad writing. With tongue often in cheek, they scrutinize various forms of prose and the seven major prose elements, and reflect on how to approach the writing process most effectively. Exhilarating Prose also abounds with examples of startling writing, wide-ranging quotes from celebrated authors, and their own ruminations on the oddities of writing and the infinite eccentricity of the human mind. To those interested in English words "in their best order" (Coleridge), this book will inform, engage, and amuse.
