New ways to greater word power

the long version

"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.
