Punctuation is important. Period. Good writers know the rules, but skilled punctuators don’t simply follow conventions—they use punctuation to make meaning. Practical Punctuation shows you how to help students discover the relationship between punctuation and meaning—and how they can use it to improve their writing. The book’s strategies help writers connect periods, commas, and dashes to mood, emphasis, and rhythm. Dan Feigelson’s ready-to-use lessons provide opportunities to: show students the purposes of punctuation before teaching them the rules; give writers chances to experiment with punctuating; model the thinking that goes into punctuating; teach conventions explicitly, but not hold students strictly accountable for punctuation in formal writing. Feigelson’s lessons are highly structured. They demonstrate how to teach punctuation as a craft tool for writers of varying sophistication or age: beginners (ending punctuation); intermediate writers (the comma); advanced writers (internal punctuation and cadence). Feigelson includes a handy teacher’s reference guide to punctuation as well as grade-by-grade guidelines that make assessing punctuation simpler. And his interviews with world-renowned authors will help you and your writers better understand the power punctuation has to impart meaning. Read Practical Punctuation and help students make choices with punctuation—instead of letting punctuation rules make choices for them. “In all the books I’ve read about written language, Dan’s is the first to explore the mind’s ear... He has actually changed the way I read as well as write. How lucky we are to have an intellectually engaging exploration of what we have too long considered drudgery... When you consider Dan’s approach, you’ll wonder how you ever taught another way.” — Ellin Oliver Keene, Coauthor of Mosaic of Thought, Second Edition, and author of To Understand “Dan has made it his business to delve into punctuation, and we are all the wiser for the impressive and exciting writing about the subject that he has done in this book.” — Carl Anderson, Author of How’s It Going? and Assessing Writers “Get ready to be taken by the hand by a master teacher who will show you how to teach students the rules of punctuation in clearly defined lessons. From the first page I was eager to take this book to my own teaching.” — Mary Ehrenworth, Author of The Power of Grammar

The triumphant concluding volume in David Crystal's classic trilogy on the English language combines the first history of English punctuation with a complete guide on how to use it.Behind every punctuation mark lies a thousand stories. The punctuation of English, marked with occasional rationality, is founded on arbitrariness and littered with oddities. For a system of a few dozen marks it generates a disproportionate degree of uncertainty and passion, inspiring organizations like the Apostrophe Protection Society and sending enthusiasts, correction-pens in hand, in a crusade against error across the United States.Professor Crystal leads us through this minefield with characteristic wit, clarity, and commonsense. In Making a Point , he gives a fascinating account of the origin and progress of every kind of punctuation mark over one and a half millennia and offers sound advice on how punctuation may be used to meet the needs of every occasion and context.

THE ART OF CREATIVE THINKING reveals how we can transform our businesses, our society and ourselves through a deeper understanding of human creativity. Rod Judkins, a lecturer in creativity at the world-famous St Martin's College of Art, will examine the behaviour of successful creative thinkers and explain how all of us can learn from them to improve our lives. Judkins will draw on an extraordinary range of reference points, from the Dada Manifesto to Andy Warhol's studio, via Steve Jobs, Nobel Prize winning economists and many others, and distil a lifetime's expertise into 90 succinct chapters. Along the way he shares the story of most successful class in educational history (in which every single student won a Nobel prize); shows why graphic nudity during public speaking can be both a curse and surprisingly persuasive; and reveals why, in the twenty-first century, it's technically illegal to be as good as good as Michelangelo.

It is practical, opinionated, and surprisingly readable, helping you spot lazy phrases, tidy up muddled sentences, and write with more precision. Readers often love that it is not just about grammar rules, but about learning how clear thought becomes clear prose.

It blends marketing insight with neuroscience in a way that feels practical rather than abstract. A great pick if you want your ideas, brand, or work to land with real people instead of disappearing into the noise.
