The Craft of Quoting helps student-writers develop the ability to
use quotes in such a way that their readers "hear" and "feel" what
the speaker is saying and understand its relevance to the topic at
hand. Students will learn how to write quotes with style, clarity,
and consistency. The book provides clear guidelines for mechanical
correctness, appropriate attribution, and paraphrasing. The use of
paragraph breaks for stylistic purposes is also addressed. In
addition, The Craft of Quoting sets out twelve "quote-nots" that
help students avoid the common pitfalls of using quotes in written
work, as well as nine essential quote patterns that enhance
efficacy and impact. The Craft of Quoting also addresses the
importance of ethics in writing, especially as these relate to
plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Practical and concise, The
Craft of Quoting is ideally suited to journalism students whose
reporting involves interviewing sources. It is also an excellent
tool for second-tier writing classes in which students explore
other people's thoughts and feelings in their work.
Hi there, Low Bull, ruste [Transcriber's note: rustle?] around the
other way and round up them steers! Hustle now! What's the matter
with you? Want to go to sleep on the trail? Billy Carew, foreman of
the Triple O ranch, addressed these remarks to a rather
ugly-looking Indian, who was riding a pony that seemed much too
small for him. The Indian, who was employed as a cowboy, was
letting his steed amble slowly along, paying little attention to
the work of rounding up the cattle. "Come now, Low Bull, get a move
on," advised the foreman. "Make believe you're hunting palefaces,"
he added, and then, speaking in a lower tone he said: "this is the
last time I'll ever hire a lazy Indian to help round-up." "What's
the matter, Billy?" asked a tall, well-built lad, riding up to the
foreman.

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - I was advised on all hands not to
write this book, and some English friends who have read it urge me
not to publish it. "You will be accused of selecting the subject,"
they say, "because sexual viciousness appeals to you, and your
method of treatment lays you open to attack. "You criticize and
condemn the English conception of justice, and English legal
methods: you even question the impartiality of English judges, and
throw an unpleasant light on English juries and the English public
- all of which is not only unpopular but will convince the
unthinking that you are a presumptuous, or at least an outlandish,
person with too good a conceit of himself and altogether too free a
tongue."
'One of the greatest books of the century' - Guardian
'Hiding...where would we hide?... Margot and I started packing our
most important belongings into a satchel. The first thing I stuck
in was this diary...' In July 1942 thirteen-year-old Anne Frank and
her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, went into
hiding in an Amsterdam warehouse. Over the next two years Anne
vividly describes in her diary the frustrations of living in such
confined quarters. This unabridged, definitive text reveals Anne's
innermost thoughts and feelings as she grows up, and provides a
deeply moving true-life story that comes to an abrupt and tragic
end. Contains an Afterword, chronology of events and glossary of
terms.
This textbook provides an up-to-date, comprehensive and fully
integrated treatment of retailing as a) and industry, b) a force
shaping social attitudes and contemporary culture, and c) a force
for change in modern townscapes. Unlike other texts which focus on
specific topics, this book provides a treatment of retailing which
will appeal to geographers, economists, planners and social
scientists. First published 1991.
A punch in the face of the puritanism and conservatism he raged
against, My Life and Loves is the highly-charged erotic
autobiography of Frank Harris (1856-1931), an Irish writer and
editor who founded Pearson's Magazine in the United States
(1914-1918). When first published, the book elicited hostile
criticism because of its blunt and frank detail of Harris's sexual
exploits, beginning in his childhood. A biographer of Oscar Wilde
and Shakespeare, Harris fought the U.S. government and postal
service over the content of his publications -- battles included in
My Life and Loves along with Harris's brutally honest, romantically
steamy sexual encounters with willing Victorian-age debutantes. My
Life and Loves remains a landmark in erotic literature, as relevant
and provocative as it was when first privately printed in Paris.
Frank Harris argues that the way women are presented in
Shakespeare's plays and sonnets are a reflection of the real-life
women in his life, namely his wife, mother, mistress and daughter.
Originally published in 1911, The Women of Shakespeare also
analyses the traditional criticism of the time and places his own
views in this context. This title will be of interest to students
of English Literature.
This title is a clear and detailed account of the law and practice
of copyright, explained in a user-friendly manner. Coverage
includes changes in licensing developments and electronic copyright
progress, and updates arising from EU harmonisation of copyright
law. There is also information on design right and
copyright-related rights such as recording and performing rights. A
glossary of terms and an index help to make this a key reference
guide to a notoriously complex area of information management.
