Study Is Hard Work - Armstrong, William H.
Best known for his Newbery Medal-winning 1969 novel Sounder, William H. Armstrong was an educator by profession, spending more than five decades teaching teenagers at the Kent School in Connecticut. Much of what his vocation taught him is contained in Study Is Hard Work, an elegant, eloquently written series of lessons on, among other subjects, listening and the efficient use of time; the art of attentive reading; the expansion of vocabulary, the ordering of ideas, and the execution of written work; the specific study of languages, mathematics, science, and history; and the practice and purpose of tests and examinations. Whatever your age or circumstance, Study Is Hard Work is bound to enhance your attentions to learning—and to life.
