Sheikha Mona's Daughter


Book Description

Sheikha Mona’s Daughter By Marinda J. Hochadel Sheikha Mona’s Daughter is the personal travel log of author Marinda J. Hochadel’s many world travels and her experience with people. This book stresses three points, which intersect with each other and are of great interest and importance to her. Her first point is the unnecessity of wars and conflicts. The hypocrisy of the world leaders creates anger, hatred, and intolerance among their respective citizens and political groups. The second point is that human-trafficking, child slave labor, and child sex should be abolished, as they are a disgrace to humanity. Rich nations have the responsibility to see that human rights and social systems are enforced. Marinda believes ensuring all women and children in the world are educated will decrease poverty and stabilize nations. We all should join our hands against corruption that leads to the abuse of the poor. Last, but not least, we should respect the religions and cultures of our co-citizens and tolerate other nationalities. Marinda encourages her readers to think positively and respectfully about those whom we meet during our lives. She wishes that her feelings and thoughts are read all over the world.

The English Linguistics Project


Book Description

The ELP ENGLISH MANUAL 8th Edition is a comprehensive response to the integration of the ELP's English language workshops for professionals and the English language courses for students, under an English Language Learning System (ELLS) particularly as spurred by the more wide-ranging concerns articulated by universities and multinationals. This book introduces new concepts that reflect contemporary grammatical theory, with entries on diction, idioms, and pronunciation, based on current data on Filipino English accumulated over the past 18 years. More insights have actually come from a parallel study that focuses on the grammar and rhetoric of Filipino, some of which have affected the chapters on Determiners, Tense, and Embedding. The English Language Project, instituted by former U.P. President Jose V. Abueva under his office in 1991, has transformed into the English Linguistics Project, part of Dr. Jonathan Malicsi's research and extension service for the Department of Linguistics.
