    			  This is a pretty good book. It came to me recommended by Leigh Bortins of Classical Conversations.<br/><br/>The author discusses the current war against grammar as seen in the public school system, as well as historical battles for and against grammar. He also shows the results of the initial establishment of grammar and later revivals of grammar. In doing so, he lays out a good foundation for why we should teach good, old-fashioned, sentence-diagramming, parts of speech grammar.<br/><br/>Good book.
