About this title

Synopsis

Far more than a list of do`s and don`ts. this unique and highly readable book is an intriguing guide to proper use of the English language. The famous science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke said `This book radiates common sense- a commodity, alas, which becomes less and less common everyday. `It is an essential handbook for communicating effectively and directly.

From the Publisher

The English language is beautiful...let`s do it justice!` This life-long belief impelled Barney Oliver, a child-genius, born in Soquel, California, to write this book. Barney was an engineer and a scientist by training, with degrees from Stanford University and CalTech. He was head of research for Hewlett-Packard, and his achievements were legend, as was his contribution to SETI Institute. Barney died in 1995. This book is one of his great legacies.
