The loop of an "l," the chewed-on pen, letters tiny or expansive: what we've lost in the error of typing and textingWhen Philip Hensher realized that he didn't know what a close friend's handwriting looked like, he felt that something essential was missing from their friendship. It dawned on him that having abandoned pen and paper for keyboards, we have lost one of the ways by which we come to recognize and know another person: handwriting. The Missing Ink tells the story of this endangered art. Hensher introduces us to the nineteenth-century handwriting evangelists who traveled across America to convert the masses to the moral worth of copperplate script; he examines the role handwriting plays in the novels of Charles Dickens; he investigates the claims made by the practitioners of graphology that penmanship can reveal personality. But this is also a celebration of the physical act of writing: the treasured fountain pens, chewable ballpoints, and personal embellishments that we stand to lose. Hensher pays tribute to the warmth and personality of the handwritten love note, postcards sent home, and daily diary entries. With the teaching of handwriting now required in only five states and many expert typists barely able to hold a pen, the future of handwriting is in jeopardy. Or is it? Hugely entertaining, witty, and thought-provoking, The Missing Ink will inspire readers to pick up a pen and write.

Suomi-ukraina sanastokirja on kirja ukrainan kielen sanaston oppimiseen. Yhteensä kirjassa on valmiiksi yli 3500 sanaa ja yli 700 lausetta. Pelkästään 3000 sanaa vastaa 95% useimpien kielten arjessa tarvittavasta sanastosta.Kirjassa on 160 (A4-kokoista) sivua ja sanasto on jaoteltu 71 eri aiheeseen. Jokaisen 71:n aiheen sanastolista löytyy aukeaman vasemmalta sivulta. Aukeaman oikea sivu on tyhjää ruutupaperia, johon voi lisätä uusia sanoja ja lauseita ukrainan kielen opintojen edetessä. Tällä tavoin voit jokaisesta aiheesta lisätä sanoja ja lauseita, jotka ovat juuri sinun elämässäsi oleellisia.Eli voit opetella eri aiheista tärkeimmät sanat ja lauseet aina aukeaman vasemmalta sivulta ja käyttää muita oppimateriaaleja, joista lisäät itsellesi tärkeät sanat ja lauseet sitten oikealla puolella sijaitsevalle tyhjälle sivulle.Kirjassa on 71 eri aihetta joten löydät varmasti sopivan aukeaman, johon uudet sanat ja lauseet sopivat kontekstinsa puolesta. Mikäli mikään olemassa oleva aukeama ei sovi uusille lisäyksillesi niin kirjan lopussa on 5 täysin tyhjää aukeamaa johon voit lisätä uusia aihepiirejä.Täytettyäsi tyhjätkin sivut omilla muistiinpanoillasi kirja tulee sisältämään enimmillään jopa 5000-7000 sanaa, jotka on kaikki lajiteltu 71:n aihepiirin alle.Tämän kirjan on tarkoitus olla paikka johon kokoat itsellesi tärkeimmän sanaston ukrainan kielestä, jotka löydät kompaktisti yhdestä kirjasta sen sijaan, että joutuisit selaamaan lukuisia oppikirjoja, muistiinpanovihkoja ja sanakirjoja. Kirja itsessään ei opeta miten lausutaan tai puhutaan ukrainaa eikä ukrainan kielioppia. Kirjaa on tarkoitus käyttää yhdessä muiden oppimateriaalien kanssa ja kerätä näistä muista lähteistä tärkeimmät tiedot ukrainan kielestä tämän kirjan kansien väliin.Eli tämä kirja ei korvaa tekstikirjoja, sovelluksia ja muita kielenopiskelun materiaaleja vaan se on parempi ja tehokkaampi vaihtoehto tyhjälle muistiinpanoviholle itselle tärkeän sanaston kokoamiseksi.

A Most Anticipated Title from: USA Today * The Guardian * Alma * Fodor's * AV Club * Vogue * KatieCouric.com * BookRiot * Lithub * BuzzFeedA New Yorker Best Book of 2022From New York Times bestselling author Jami Attenberg comes a dazzling memoir about unlocking and embracing her creativity?and how it saved her life. In this brilliant, fierce, and funny memoir of transformation, Jami Attenberg?described as a ?master of modern fiction? (Entertainment Weekly) and the ?poet laureate of difficult families? (Kirkus Reviews)?reveals the defining moments that pushed her to create a life, and voice, she could claim for herself. What does it take to devote oneself to art? What does it mean to own one's ideas? What does the world look like for a woman moving solo through it?As the daughter of a traveling salesman in the Midwest, Attenberg was drawn to a life on the road.
