Product Description
by John Jr. Schissler (Author)
The author, a wordsmith of the English language, will demonstrate how these classical entities are actually steeped in the Greek or Latin languages. Armed with that knowledge, the reader will learn derivatives for English words in an easy and relateable fashion: learning vocabulary minus the rote memorization of vocabulary lists. This newly-gained knowledge of the power of words will increase with the recognition of the root words found in the names of of these gods, denigods, and heroes. Even the significance of our modern-day superheroes will also be scrutinized and so will the challenges of today's world of technology. Let the adventure begin with Neo-Mythology: 3001 Word Odyssey! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Born in 1943, JOHN SCHISSLER JR. and his family arrived in the USA in 1950. After learning the English language from childhood, Schissler went on to earn his post-secondary degree in Education at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. He taught high school Latin, and English from 1968 to 2000. Since his retirement, Schissler has written four additional book: PASSAGE, IMMIGRANTS, FOUR_LEAF COVER, and I TEACH! Therefore, I Can.
