The Power of Tolkien's Prose: Middle-Earth's Magical Style

Shortlisted for the 2011 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award forInklingsStudies Tolkien's unparalleled popularity has been largely attributed to his gifts as a storyteller and his thematic currency. But The Lord of the Rings may have become a modern classic for a deeper reason than we've noticed: Tolkien is a first-rate stylist. The Power of Tolkien's Prose illuminates the multifaceted appeal of Tolkien's prose style in dimensions ranging from his fantastic realism to his revitalizing imagery to his dynamic narrative to his expansive characterization to his engaging language. Viewed through the lens of Steve Walker's stylistic appreciation, Tolkien's fiction emerges as a new dimension of perception.

The Diploma is Child Health exam has been taken by paediatricians as a step on the way to the MRCP.  However, the exam has grown increasingly 'community-orientated' and has become the Diploma which future community and junior paediatricians visiting from abroad take, when they want an easier and quicker qualification.  GPs too are taking the Diploma in order to become qualified.  This book is carefully targeted to cover all aspects of the exam with appropriate emphasis on community problems.
