Review:

"This is a sensible and effective approach that builds knowledge from the ground up, and the text carries out this approach effectively. The entire organic philosophy underpins and permeates the book, making for an innovative and effective text."

"Grammar and Usage, Naturally goes beyond simply showing students what to do. It encourages students to create these elements for themselves."
