[close] Las ediciones facsimiles de Editorial Maxtor tienen como objetivo acercar al público las obras del pasado de los temas más variados y dar a conocer como escribían, se entretenían, pensaban, aprendían y trabajaban nuestros antepasados. A través de libros que no han llegado a nuestros días por los cauces imperantes sino que han quedado, hasta ahora, relegados al olvido en bibliotecas, podremos conocer un poco más nuestra historia, pero no la que está escrita en las grandes enciclopedias, sino la historia cotidiana, el día a día. Los títulos editados se mueven en la línea del tiempo que va desde el siglo XV hasta principios del siglo pasado. En nuestras EDICIONES FACSÍMILES intentamos respetar el formato y el estilo que caracteriza a los libros antiguos, manteniendo un precio asequible para todos nuestros lectores. -- Facsimiles of Editorial Maxtor aim to bring closer to the people works of the past from various subjects and to show how our ancestors wrote, enjoyed, thought, learned and worked. Through books that have not come to us through the common channels, relegated to oblivion in libraries, we can learn a little more about our history, but not what is written in the major encyclopedias, but everyday history, day by day. Edited titles move in line time from the fifteenth to early last century. In Maxtor´s facsimile editions you can follow the format and style that characterizes old books, maintaining an affordable price to all our readers.

[close] Devoted to studying the grammar of Vedic or Old-Indian language as in Rgveda, Brahmanas and Upanishads. Included are phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics.

[close] Starting January each yera, we’ll tackle one book per month covering a topic related to language and share our experiences as a linkup. Please feel free to join us. As part of the challenge, the books cover everything from culture, language learning, general learning techniques, history, and we’ll be reading both in our native languages and target languages. If you’re at a more advanced level in your target language, feel free to read any or all of the books (not just the ones indicated as target language only) in the language that you’re learning. If you’re still just getting started, that’s okay, too! You can read along in your native language, discovering more about the cultures and histories tied to the language(s) that you’re learning, opting for lower level or graded readers for books in your target language. Please note that you don’t have to pick just one language for this challenge. If you’re learning multiple languages, feel free to mix and match. The challenge is pretty flexible, we’ve planned it this way so you can get the most learning possible out of it over this next year.

[close] My book is about how English came to have apparently irregular features - if houses, why not mouses? If he drives, why not he cans? Why does one sound like it starts with a w? In this group, ask me something about language, linguistics, and likewise.
