Originally published in 1923, this book was aimed at school students and undergraduates and contains a varied collection of Latin and Greek extracts for unseen translation to complement the already existing translation books in circulation within the educational system at the time of publication. This book was produced in the hope that the 'new collection of passages may, if not actually filling a gap, at any rate prove an attractive change'. Keeping strictly within the limits of the Classical Period, Latin extracts include, Valerius Flaccus, Manilius and Seneca's Tragedies, whilst Greek extracts include, Homeric Hyms, Pratinas and Menander. Passages, which are particularly difficult, have been marked with an asterisk in the table of contents and overly short and long passages have also been included in order to meet different circumstances. This book will be of great value to anyone with an interest in Latin, Greek and the history of education.

While most courses in Egyptian Arabic teach the essentials of syntax, morphology, and vocabulary, this second in a series of three books takes the student a step beyond and focuses on colorful expressions used by native speakers. The learner will advance from knowing how to form a good sentence to being able to express his or her thoughts about the ups and downs of daily life using culturally appropriate phrases.
Following the first volume which highlighted the many expressions used to describe people, their characteristics, their behaviors, and their attitudes, this second volume focuses on proverbs and their use. Each entry is given fully voweled, and definitions (including connotation) and explanations are given in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. The book also contains a large number of exercises.

In this brisk and accessible history, sinologist Thomas O. Hollmann explains the development of the Chinese writing system and its importance in literature, religion, art, and other aspects of culture. Spanning the earliest epigraphs and oracle bones to writing and texting on computers and mobile phones today, Chinese Script is a wide-ranging and versatile introduction to the complexity and beauty of written text and calligraphy in the Chinese world. Hollmann delves into the origins of Chinese script and its social and political meanings across millennia of history. He recounts the social history of the writing system; written and printed texts; and the use of writing materials such as paper, silk, ink, brush, and printing techniques. The book sheds light on the changing role of literacy and education; the politics of orthographic reform; and the relationship of Chinese writing to non-Han Chinese languages and cultures. Hollmann explains the inherent complexity of Chinese script, demonstrating why written Chinese expresses meaning differently than oral language and the subtleties of the relationship between spoken word and written text. He explores calligraphy as an art, the early letter press, and other ways of visually representing Chinese languages. Chinese Script also provides handy illustrations of the concepts discussed, showing how ideographs function and ways to decipher them visually.
