New Ways to Greater Word Power: written by and similar items

“He who controls words, controls the source of true power." This book is based on that premise. It presents in simple, down-to-earth terms the most effective methods yet devised by language experts to increase word power, all tested successfully in classroom-laboratories, and proven equally valuable for self-education. The object of this volume is not only to increase the number of words you recognize and use, but also to help you develop your word-consciousness to the point where you will instinctively use those words with the greatest striking power. The book's exercises and tests present a challenge you will enjoy meeting. They will measure your progress in one of life's rewarding adventures—the mastery of words.
