SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Our book for this meeting is What Would Nietzsche Do?: Philosophical Solutions to Everyday Problems (2017) by Marcus Weeks. A paperback version of the book lists for $20 but can be had from Amazon for $14.60; used copies are for sale by Half Price Books for $8\, and an e-book is $4. \n \nThis book is 180 pages of text (minus the pictures\, diagrams\, and sidebars)\, but it’s pretty easy reading compared to most of the material we cover\, so we’re shooting for doing the whole thing for the 11th. If this seems daunting\, do the best you can. And while you’re trying to find time to read it\, just remember to ask yourself\, “What would a member of the MISF Philosophy Study Group do?” The clear answer: They would carefully read the whole book and show up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the meeting. \nCurt

SUMMARY:"Power Behind Your Writing: What Every Writer Needs to Know"
DESCRIPTION:Evelyn Klein will discuss how and why this book came about in the course of her teaching English\, language arts and world languages for many years. In order to be successful both in expository and creative writing\, students needed a solid base of skills. By introducing students to the essentials of the English language in an easy-to-understand format\, they met with considerable success. \nIn this book that can serve both as text or reference\, Part One introduces students to the story of English which helps dispel many language myths and misconceptions. Part Two sets forward an updated approach to studying grammar and sentence structure. The material in this book also offers the necessary preparation for second language and ESL study. Books will be available. Evelyn Klein has lived most of her life in Minnesota. She has a B.S. in Secondary Education and an M.S. in the Teaching of English. She taught in the public schools for many years\, at Century College\, and The Loft Literary Center and presents programs on writing-related topics to interested groups and organizations. A prize-winning poet\, she has published poetry and articles in numerous publications. She is author of four books\, variously\, of poetry\, essays\, and illustrations\, three of which have found their way into the Minnesota Historical Society’s permanent library collection. Power Behind Your Writing: What Every Writer Needs to Know is her latest book.
