Birds of the World (DK Handbooks)

Birds of the World (DK Handbooks)
By Alan Greensmith | DK ADULT (1993) | ISBN: 1564582965
PDF | English | 57 MB | 416 pages

It is hard to imagine a raison d'etre for this book, for its pretentions to be a field guide, as bruited on the dust cover, are absurd and are surprising coming from the authors, two highly respected ornithologists. What we have instead are species accounts of 800 birds, nine percent of the world total. These very brief accounts include a few sentences of general commentary; very small sections on range and nesting; a range map, color photo, and drawing showing scale; and one or two other small illustrations. This good selection of the world's birds, shown in quality photographs, is fine as far as it goes, but it is too limited to serve as an indentification guide. The traveler needs regional guides, and there are already many good ones for almost all parts of the world. Fun for browsing but otherwise only marginally useful.

The Words You Need: Student’s Book

The Words You Need: Student’s Book
By B. Rudzka & others | Macmillan Education (1981) | ISBN: 0333278291
PDF | English | 35.7 MB | 215 pages

The importance of words in verbal communication hardly needs stressing, yet no other language component has been more neglected in foreign language teaching than the lexicon. While a great deal of energy and imagination is going into the teaching of grammar, comparatively little is being done to teach words, and students of foreign languages, even after several years of strenuous effort, often know many grammatical frames but have very little to put into them. The Words You Need sets out specifically to organise the acquisition of language skills within the context of a structured approach to vocabulary teaching. The approach used is a completely new one, adapting insights from theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics to the service of the language learner.

Space Exploration (Britannica Illustrated Science Library)
Encyclopaedia Britannica (2009) | ISBN: 1593393970
PDF | English | 10.7 MB | 101 pages

During the greater part of our history, the Moon was quite unreachable. It did not seem very big and far away but rather small. For the Greeks, the idea of walking on the Moon was certainly unthinkable, and as recently as the end of the 19th century many people doubted that humans would even be able to fly. Nevertheless, on July 20, 1969, the miracle happened. Since then many historic missions to explore the planets have been planned and executed, with the spacecraft and probes Mariner, Viking, Pioneer, Voyager, and Galileo leading the way. Thanks to human intelligence and effort we have succeeded in exploring many corners of our solar system. This book intends to show all this: the history of manned and unmanned voyages and the discoveries that were made. We will try, using simple and accessible language, to answer many questions, such as what rockets are, how they work, what shuttles exist, how astronauts live in space, and which robot probes are visiting other planets looking for signs of life.

The Hutchinson Illustrated Encyclopedia of British History
By Ann Pilling | Helicon Publishing (2006) | ISBN: 1859862578
PDF | English | 15 MB | 728 pages

The Hutchinson Illustrated Encyclopedia of British History is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the people, events, and ideas that have shaped Britain from prehistory to the present day. The editors have also sought to convey the truth that history is more than simply a compilation of facts from the past.
The editors have included as much factual information as possible in each A-Z entry, and numerous tables and statistics are included, as well as many specially-created maps and plans.
The chronological relationships of past events and lives are conveyed through various detailed subject chronologies (attached to the relevant A-Z entries). A large thematic chronology, following the A-Z text, provides a visual reference to the relationship between the events of British/Irish history and events elsewhere in the world. And the cultural context of as many entries as possible has been brought to life via a wide range of illustrations, which provide a wealth of visual detail and, often, a key to past conceptions.
Interspersed in the text are 21 specially commissioned, extended feature articles from noted historians that provide the analysis and the sense of the broad sweep of history that would otherwise be impossible to convey in an A-Z reference book.

Letter Writing in English: Rationale and Models for Social and Business Letters

Letter Writing in English: Rationale and Models for Social and Business Letters
By Anna Maria Malkoc | U.S. Information Agency
PDF | English | 10 MB

Writing skills are often the most difficult skills for students of English as a foreign language to acquire. This may be because of the great emphasis on listening, speaking, and reading in the classroom. This sample of guided writing practice in the early stages of English instruction will help to reinforce and integrate the development of all the language skills and prepare learners for the production of written English at more advanced levels.
Letters that are well-organized in form and content generally follow a pattern that is similar to basic composition writing. Letter writing can be an effective means of introducing and reinforcing the principles of good composition in English; the writer in both cases must first organize his or her thoughts logically to convey the intended message.
This manual covers a typical structure of a well-composed letter and provides thoughtful models for social and business letters as well as simple samples of postcard writing which is an effective tool to prepare learners for production of more serious written pieces through their creative belles-lettres talent.
