Greek Language and People is the ideal introduction to the language
and culture of Greece. This 256-page course book is designed to
accompany the Greek Language and People CDs, which are available to
buy separately (9780563519775). As well as teaching the skills
necessary to communicate in and understand basic Greek, the course
book provides an accessible introduction to the written language,
and enables you to read Greek with ease. Dialogues and language
notes combine with cultural information, introducing new language
in a relevant context, while activities, drawn mainly from
authentic Greek sources, allow you to practise new language and
reinforce learning. Also included is a useful reference section
with two-way glossary and grammar guide. Whether learning at home
or in a class, Greek Language and People can help you to reach the
equivalent level of a first qualification, such as GCSE.
For most people Wimbledon is synonymous with the tennis
championship that swells the population of this upmarket London
suburb every summer. In 2012 the iconic grass courts will host the
tennis event at the Olympics as well as the annual grand slam.
Wimbledon has much more to offer than the tennis however. There is
the wonderful common, four golf courses, Cannizaro house and park,
Wimbledon and Morden Park, greyhound and stock car racing and a
football club with a fascinating history. Home to the mighty Cecil
family in Tudor times, in later years William Wilberforce, Horatio
Nelson and numerous ministers of state also lived in the area,
drawn by both its beauty and proximity to London. When the railway
arrived in the late nineteenth century the area at the bottom of
Wimbledon Hill was developed and the population exploded. Today
SW19 is a very sought after postcode. Joanna Jackson captures a
year in the life of this vibrant, bustling town with its
much-treasured green spaces, thriving cafe culture, theatres and
boutiques.

Jenny or Jenny Bull Falls, as the city was fondly referred to
before the railroad roared into town, was born on the backs of
speculators, lumbermen, and businessmen in the mid-1840s. Pursuing
wide-eyed dreams in the vast pine forests of the north woods,
Jenny's population was around 200 in 1870. The worn trails of the
Ojibwe/Chippewa, the area's first occupants, were transformed into
logging roads, and by the time the city's name was formally changed
to Merrill in 1881, the population had grown to 2,000. Nicknamed
the "City of Parks" in 1903, Merrill is situated on the convergence
of the Wisconsin and Prairie Rivers and features four seasons of
natural beauty within the city limits. The wonder of Merrill lies
in a century of traditions and in the heritage and beauty of its
numerous historic buildings and places.
This tour of the nation's capital goes beyond the traditional
guidebook to offer a historical journey through the federal
district. Visit the White House, the only executive home in the
world regularly open to the public. Travel to President Lincoln's
Cottage and see where he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. Look
around lesser-known sites, such as the grave of Pierre L'Enfant,
the city's Botanical Gardens, the Old Post Office and a host of
historical homes throughout the capital. From George Washington's
Mount Vernon to the Kennedy Center, trek through each era of
Washington, D.C., for a tour of America's most beloved sites. Join
author and Washington insider Alison Fortier as she carefully
curates an expedition to our shining city on a hill.
