In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. First Edition. (no dust jacket, as issued) [light shelfwear, spine cloth a bit faded, small ink blot on lower edge of text block]. (Colloquium Lectures in the Pure and Applied Sciences, No. 2, October 1956) Series If you need more of a description of the contents of this 189-page book than is prov…ided by its title, then maybe this isn't really the book for you. I will share the author's charmingly self-deprecating introductory note, however: "These notes were prepared from tape recordings with relatively little editing. They furnish once again a conclusive proof that the arts of speaking and writing are vastly different and, perhaps, even incompatible. In writing one doesn't have the recourse to the most powerful instrument of a speaker -- the use of hands. In speaking one cannot conveniently refer to the learned and amusing treatise of Mr. Fowler on the proper use of English. If the only price for preservation of the immediacy of a live lecture is the number of split infinitives and garbled or unfinished sentences, then perhaps it is worth paying." **** NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order. ****.
