Inglés para latinos: segundo nivel (Paperback)

Inglés para latinos: segundo nivel
Inglés para latinos: segundo nivel (Paperback)
By William C. Harvey

Review & Description

Author William Harvey is best known as a teacher of Spanish to English speakers but his Inglés para latinos books and cassettes shift focus to help Hispanics in the United States and Canada who want to learn English. This brand new Level 2 book with optional audiocassettes picks up where the Level 1 program leaves off. This new intermediate program assumes some basic working knowledge of English on the learners part, and offers informal, challenging exercises that will improve vocabulary, speaking ability and listening comprehension.

Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary, Third Edition (Hardcover)

Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary, Third Edition
Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary, Third Edition (Hardcover)
By Merriam-Webster

Review & Description

Fully revised edition! A comprehensive guide to the key political and phsyical features of today's world. Convenient alphabetical listing of more than 54,000 entries includes 350 detailed maps, more than 130 easy-to-use tables, world population figures culled from the most recent census bureau data, and essential coverage of important historical events.Since 1970 South Africa ended apartheid; Jean-Bertrand Aristide was elected president of Haiti, deposed by military coup then reinstated; San Francisco suffered a major earthquake; and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics dissolved. So it's a good thing Merriam-Webster updated its geographical dictionary to include more than 48,000 alphabetically arranged entries of mountains, lakes, towns, and countries. The third edition had a lot of catching up to do, what with the social, political, financial, and physical upheavals that have taken place since the second edition was published, and the result is a modern and sophisticated reference.

Review & Description

Learn the language of the law, without the legalese!

Open the average law dictionary and chances are you'll feel more confused than before you read a word. Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary is different. From "abrogate" to "zero tape", we've cut down on the Latin and defined common (and some not-so-common) terms you can really use to understand and access the law.

Set aside those dusty, outdated law dictionaries! Written for the 21st century, this essential reference contains complete definitions of the legal terms you need today. If you're a law student, paralegal, accountant, small business owner or librarian -- anyone whose work or life touches the law -- this fully up-to-date A to Z guide puts access to the law into your hands.

Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary contains 3,800 plain-English legal definitions, including many newly coined terms you'll find online and off, such as "typosquatting" and "patent troll". Of course, if you need definitions for legal standards -- even when they're in Latin -- you'll find those here too. Plus, find a copy of the Constitution of the United States of America for your reference in the pages following the complete list of definitions. (20090422) Read more
