No skill is more important in today's world than being able to think about, understand, and act on information in an effective and responsible way.

But because misinformation out there has increased as well, critical thinking is more important than ever. These 24 rewarding lectures equip you with the knowledge and techniques you need to become a savvier, sharper critical thinker in your professional and personal life.

It's every novelist's greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page-one rewrite. The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot).

Can literature change our real world society? At its foundation, utopian and dystopian fiction asks a few seemingly simple questions aimed at doing just that. Who are we as a society? Who do we want to be? Who are we afraid we might become? When these questions are framed in the speculative versions of Heaven and Hell on earth, you won't find easy answers, but you will find tremendously insightful and often entertaining perspectives.

Description
Why do some lengthy sentences flow effortlessly while others stumble along? Why are you captivated by the writing of particular authors? How can you craft sentences that reflect your unique outlook on the world?
This lively, 24-lecture course introduces you to the myriad ways in which we think about, talk about, and write sentences. Reviving the sentence-oriented approach to studying writing, Professor Landon provides a greater context for what makes sentences great - and how you can apply these methods to your own writing.
You'll look at the kernels from which sentences grow - minimal base clauses - and how adding words or phrases creates larger, cumulative sentences that lead toward great writing. You'll explore sentence constructions that make writing more complex and add exciting levels of suspense, and see tactics that create balance and rhythm.Recognizing and appreciating these and other eye-opening aspects of sentences helps you understand the work that goes into creating an effective, pleasurable sentence, which can make you more aware of why particular lines, passages, or phrases in the poems, novels, or articles you read so enchant you.
Professor Landon draws abundantly on examples from the work of brilliant writers, including Don DeLillo, Virginia Woolf, Samuel Johnson, and more. With its passionate approach to writing and reading and its indulgence in the sheer joy of language, this journey gives you unique insights into the nature of great writing-and also teaches you how you can achieve some of this greatness yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Pronunciation
I am only 2 hours into this lecture series. The content so far, is quite interesting. The lecturer's voice is clear and inflection is good. At the risk of sounding petty, the only "Con" I have is Mr. Landon's pronunciation of the word "Sentence". He does not pronounce the "T", thus the word comes out sounding like "Sennence". Two or three times in the beginning, he added the "T", never to be heard since. I admit, it is a minor flaw overall, but IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS. That said, I will continue to the end as the lectures are indeed, informative.

One of my favorite books on writing
I have no formal training in creative writing and learned to improve my prose prose as English is tres difficult to write in. It is great and I highly recommended any writer of the English to read and use its tools. Спасибо 🥰 +г

BS, misleading, give then take away.
Why bother to give me this book then remove it? Keep your "free" reads, I don't want them anymore. Disappointed!
