  • Knowledge Management and Network for Capacity Development: A Focus on Institute of Directors Ghana (Hardcover)

  • Mark My Words (Volume 2)

    This book, MARK MY WORDS, has been born out of a passionate desire to draw attention to the importance of words, and more importantly, the appropriate use of words. The book is also intended to remind users of the English language to take personal responsibility for the words we use; that has largely determined the title of the book, particularly the use of “MY” – the possessive form of ‘I’.

    It must be emphasized that this material is not an attempt to produce a typical book on English grammar; it is an effort to provide a social commentary on language use. This has obviously determined and underlined the focus and style of presentation
