solid grammar
This is an old book but still one of the best in terms of presenting all the grammar in a straightforward and comprehensible fashion.It has everything the intermediate language learner needs on the road to acquiring the level of sophistication of an advanced learner.The review exercises consist of sentences, out of context but generic enough not to be outdated, even after all these years.For a quick reference or for some serious grammar study, this book is still the best, especially for the price.Excellent for ESL students who are ready to move to a native-speaker text. ...

From the supplier: The theme and variations of the works of Robert Hayden, an African American poet, were discussed in an exchange of correspondences between Harryette Mullen and Stephen Yenser. Hayden has been recognized as a writer of, among other things, black life and racism. Hayden's capacity for empathy, as well as the difficult aspects of his being an artist and a religious man struggling to reconcile his sexuality with his spirituality were quite evident in his works. It has also been observed that Hayden has a tendency to be restrained, contained, temperate and virtuous in his writing style.
