Advertising Free Credit Report Free Psychics Advertisement Guide Picks - Top French Grammar Books There are hundreds, maybe thousands of French grammar books available, each claiming to be the "best," the "most concise," the "most complete," etc. Obviously they can't all be the best, and in fact one of them must, by definition, be the worst. How do you know which is which? Well, that's where I come in - I have more than a dozen French grammar books, many of which I use regularly, and others which I might as well throw away. Here are my favorite grammar books: the ones that I use every day as well as those I've grown beyond, but keep because they once helped me so much. (The parentheses indicate the working language(s) of each book.) Le Bon Usage Originally published in 1936, this is the bible of French grammar - the most thorough French grammar book that exists. It has been republished more than a dozen times and is a must for fluent speakers. This is the book that native speakers refer to when they want to understand or explain some aspect of French grammar. (French)

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND Homeless Children and Families in Small-Town America By Yvonne M. Vissing The University Press of Kentucky, 1996, 271 pp. ISBN: 0-8131-1943-X Review by Anitra Freeman "Composition VI" by Wassily Kandinsky This book is written by a sociologist. Doesn't that sound bone dry and dreadful? It is the product of six years of research and work with homeless rural children and families, funded to a large degree by the New Hampshire State Department of Education. May I see a show of hands of those who distrust government funded studies? Thank you, that's about the count I expected. But oh, what a wonderful reversal of expectations it is. This is not a book of statistics or a listing of case studies, and it's the farthest thing from a justification of the status quo. Yvonne Vissing went into schools, homeless shelters, doctor's offices anyplace homeless people were, she was willing to be. "I had contact with more than three hundred homeless children and families. I followed most of the homeless families for several months, until their situations changed and they moved. These are the people whose stories are told in this book. "It was impossible for me not to feel compassion for those I met in my fieldwork, when I ate with them and played with their children while they told their stories." Yvonne Vissing is willing to be vulnerable among those whose vulnerability she is describing.
