From minding your Ps and Qs to wondering why X should mark the spot, Alphabetical is a book for everyone who loves words and language. Whether it's how letters are arranged on keyboards or Viking runes, textspeak or zip codes, this book will change the way you think about letters for ever. How on Earth did we fix upon our twenty-six letters, what do they really mean, and how did we come to write them down in the first place? Michael Rosen takes you on an unforgettable adventure through the history of the alphabet in twenty-six vivid chapters, fizzing with personal anecdotes and fascinating facts. Starting with the mysterious Phoenicians and how sounds first came to be written down, he races on to show how nonsense poems work, pins down the strange story of OK, traces our seven lost letters and tackles the tyranny of spelling, among many, many other things. His heroes of the alphabet range from Edward Lear to Phyllis Pearsall (the inventor of the A-Z), and from the two scribes of Beowulf to rappers. Each chapter takes on a different subject - codes, umlauts or the writing of dictionaries. Rosen's enthusiasm for letters positively leaps off the page, whether it's the story of his life told through the typewriters he's owned or a chapter on jokes written in a string of gags and word games. So if you ever wondered why Hawaiian only has a thirteen-letter alphabet or how exactly to write down the sound of a wild raspberry, read on . . .

Every electronic product is created with a unique User Manual; to every newborn there’s no (human brain) User Manual. The newborn brain is left to nature (self-use and self-learn). Multitudes today rely heavily on “search engines” as opposed to their innate brain power companion for knowledge registration, retention and recall habit established at the outset. Yet the current educational system still requires the student to remember lessons taught through graded examinations eventually graduating with or without honors or is a drop-out. Nonetheless, drop-out or graduate shall excel with brain power companionship. Memory aids are naturally within everyone (born with) as is with conscious observation, association, etc. And of course so is mind collaboration as in making the familiar unfamiliar and vice versa... It’s the question of whether we use rightly these innate aids that’s within us or unknowingly used wrongly. With memory tools, these are created either by our-self or by others and applied to help us in memory enhancement. It is wise to cause synergy in and through both memory aids and tools as often as possible that will ease data into reliable remembering for registration, retention and recall; but not neglecting “FoR”. (Hosea 4:6, KJV reads, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,...”). This is Series 4 with the first entitled Nonpareil Learning Techniques. May you be blessed and be a blessing through these series of e-books produced and presented by The Nonpareil Program.
