Michael Meyer ought to be lauded for such a well-rounded, comprehensive resource as the Compact Bedford Introduction to Literature. It offers a wonderful variety of poetry and critical commentaries on various selections and gives wry examples on how to recognize bad writing, including a passage from a particularly bad romantic novel and an example of doggerel poetry -- what a student of literature would find stimulating and appealing.
In the pages mentioned (page 570-580), where the speaker elaborately discusses word choice, word order and tone, the speaker pays careful attention to language: the connotations of words, allusion, figurative language, irony, symbol, rhythm, sound, and so on.

Combat and Substance Abuse Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as a consequence of combat experience, is believed to be a significant risk factor for substance abuse. This theory has been undermined to some extent by recent findings which suggest mental illness, apart from PTSD, may be a stronger predictor. Although combat-related PTSD may significantly contribute to the prevalence of substance abuse among veterans, the dominant substance abuse risks are the same for
Recruitment and Selection As Brezina (2011, p.240) cites if the Human Resource department is to remain efficient and intact, the levels of teams must be consistent and allow co-operation and consultation between the line managers and the Human Resource Manager. However, this is rather different in the case of Recruitment and selection as HR managers, or even the external specialists can play a significant role of applying modern knowledge and expertise,
