The fifth in the new Naxos Audiobooks series In a Nutshell, The Renaissance is a short and accessible introduction to the era that gave us Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Palestrina. The Renaissance swept across Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries, heralding intellectual revolutions in science, art, philosophy and politics, and marking a decisive shift towards modern thinking. The authoritative Peter Whitfield brings together all the different threads of this transformative period in a lucid and fascinating introduction.
English in a Nutshell by John Edward Thompson has been compiled from the duplicated sheets used by the author in his own classroom over a number of years. It traces the foundations and derivations of the English language and enumerates the Parts of Speech. It deals with punctuation, number and gender, illustrates the more common figures of speech and includes examples of grammatical errors and a number of useful spelling hints. As a supplement to a series of orthodox English Text books it provides ample revisionary material and serves as a basis for numerous exercises which, it is suggested, will extend the child's vocabulary and facilitate his use of language.
