Punctuation for Now

<p>It's or Its? Full stop inside or outside the inverted commas? What's the difference between a semi-colon and a colon? Cooperate or co-operate? Punctuation For Now describes in a witty but authoritative way how our present system of punctuation has grown out of the history of our language. It also indicates the conventions that govern the best punctuation in the English of today. The rules are set out clearly, and reinforced by abundant examples from the work of such authors as Kingsley Amis and Evelyn Waugh. Anyone with an examination to pass, or with a child who is learning to use English, or who writes it for a living, will find Punctuation For Now an invaluable guide and friend.</p>

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

<p>This Hopkins chronology describes the poet's family and early education, then gives a day-by-day account of what he was doing, reading and writing, and the people he met. Drawing on some material not published before, it illustrates the working life of a priest-poet whose work was not made public until more than thirty years after his death. There are additional sections on the religious and political background of a major Victorian writer whose life was essentially enigmatic and private.</p>

Long before becoming Pope, K. Wojtyla was developing the essential philosophical and theological foundations for his papal pronouncements. By returning to his earlier writings these essays offer insights into the Pope's basic philosophy, theology, biblical exegesis, and spirituality, and relate him to other currents in theology and philosophy.
