About the author

Various

455k books1,339 followers
Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

The title says it all. This is a guide for those curious about how the English language works as it covers the simple aspects, like parts of speech, to the more complex of usage.

It’s quite a jolly little grammar guide since it has scads of cartoons (which need updating) and interactive exercises and examples that range from confusing to enlightening.

Take the best and leave the rest as it does offer some helpful insights.

หนังสือเรียนภาษาอังกฤด้วยตนเอง ที่เน้นไปที่การใช้งานไวยากรณ์ เหมาะสำหรับผู้ที่มีพื้นฐานทางภาษาพอสมควร สนุก แบบฝึกหัดท้ายพอสมควร ตัวอย่างประโยคที่คัดมาประกอบหลายๆอันสวยและลึกซึ้ง ทำไมสมัยเรียนเราถึงไม่เจอครูสอนภาษาอังกฤษที่สอนหลักภาษาได้ชัดเจน อธิบายได้ครอบคลุมอย่างนี้นะ เสียดายจัง
