Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From a master teacher and writer, a fully revised and updated edition of the results-oriented approach to legal writing that is clear, that persuades--and that WINS. More than almost any profession, the law has a deserved reputation for opaque, jargon-clogged writing. Yet forceful writing is one of the most potent weapons of legal advocacy. In this new edition of Writing to Win, Steven D. Stark, a former lecturer on law at Harvard Law School, who has inspired thousands of aspiring and practicing lawyers, applies the universal principles of powerful, vigorous prose to the job of making a legal case--and winning it. Writing to Win focuses on the writing of lawyers, not judges, and includes dozens of examples of effective (and ineffective) real-life legal writing--as well as compelling models drawn from advertising, journalism, and fiction. It deals with the challenges lawyers face in writing, from organization to strengthening and editing prose; offers incisive ways of improving arguments; addresses litigation and technical writing in all its forms; and covers the writing attorneys must perform in their daily practice, from email memos to briefs and contracts. Each chapter opens with a succinct set of rules for easy reference. With new sections on client communication and drafting affidavits, as well as updated material throughout, Writing to Win is the most practical and efficacious legal-writing manual available. …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. An eye-opening look at Little Women author Louisa May Alcott's time as a Civil War nurse, and the far-reaching implications her service had on her writing and her activism Louisa on the Frontlines is the first narrative nonfiction book focusing on the least-known aspect of Louisa May Alcott's career -- her time spent as a nurse during the Civil War. Though her service was brief, the dramatic experience was one that she considered pivotal in helping her write the beloved classic Little Women. It also deeply affected her tenuous relationship with her father, and inspired her commitment to abolitionism. Through it all, she kept a journal and wrote letters to her family and friends. These letters were published in the newspaper, and her subsequent book, Hospital Sketches spotlighted the dire conditions of the military hospitals and the suffering endured by the wounded soldiers she cared for. To this day, her work is considered a pioneering account of military nursing. Alcott's time as an Army nurse in the Civil War helped her find her authentic voice -- and cemented her foundational belief system. Louisa on the Frontlines reveals the emergence of this prominent feminist and abolitionist -- a woman whose life and work has inspired millions and continues to do so today.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Pura Belpré Illustrator Award Honor - American Library Association (ALA) Recipient of the Pura Belpré Illustrator Award Honor, this is a fascinating bilingual picture book biography of Peruvian archaeologist and national icon Julio C. Tello, who unearthed Peru's ancient cultures and fostered pride in the country's Indigenous history. Galardonado con el premio de honor Pura Belpré Illustrator, este es una fascinante biografía bilingüe ilustrada del arqueólogo peruano e ícono nacional Julio C. Tello, quien desenterró las antiguas culturas del Perú y fomentó el orgullo por la historia indígena del país. Growing up in the late 1800s, Julio Tello, an Indigenous boy, spent time exploring the caves and burial grounds in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes. Nothing scared Julio, not even the ancient human skulls he found. His bravery earned him the nickname Sharuko, which means "brave" in Quechua, the language of the Native people of Peru. At the age of twelve, Julio moved to Lima to continue his education. While in medical school, he discovered an article about the skulls he had found. The skulls had long ago been sent to Lima to be studied by scientists. The article renewed Julio's interest in his ancestry, and he decided to devote his medical skills to the study of Peru's Indigenous history. Over his lifetime, Julio Tello made many revolutionary discoveries at archeological sites around Peru, and he worked to preserve the historical treasures he excavated. He showed that Peru's Indigenous cultures had been established thousands of years ago, disproving the popular belief that Peruvian culture had been introduced more recently from other countries. He fostered pride in his country's Indigenous ancestry, making him a hero to all Peruvians. Because of the brave man once known as Sharuko, people around the world today know of Peru's long history and its living cultural legacy. Durante su infancia a finales del siglo XIX, Julio Tello, un niño indígena, exploraba las cuevas y loscementerios en las estribaciones de los Andes peruanos. Nada lo asustaba, ni siquiera los antiguos cráneos humanos que encontraba. Su valentía le ganó el apodo de Sharuko, que significa "valiente" en quechua, la lengua de los pueblos originarios del Perú. A los doce años, Julio se mudó a Lima para continuar sus estudios. Mientras estudiaba medicina, descubrió un artículo sobre los cráneos que había encontrado. Estos cráneos habían sido enviados a Lima hacía mucho tiempo para ser estudiados por científicos. El artículo reanimó el interés de Julio por sus ancestros, y decidió dedicar sus conocimientos médicos al estudio de la historia indígena del Perú. A lo largo de su vida, Julio Tello realizó numerosos descubrimientos revolucionarios en sitios arqueológicos de todo el Perú y trabajó para preservar los tesoros históricos que excavaba. Demostró que las culturas indígenas del Perú se habían establecido hace miles de años, desmintiendo la creencia popular de que la cultura peruana había sido introducida recientemente desde otros países. Él fomentó el orgullo por la herencia indígena de su país, convirtiéndose en un héroe para todos los peruanos. Gracias a este valiente hombre, conocido como Sharuko, hoy en día personas de todo el mundo conocen la larga historia del Perú y su vivo legado cultural. Elisa Chavarri (illustrator).…
