Synopsis
This particular book - The Students Companion, dates back to my primary years of Education in the Caribbean and is a useful resource for children and young people wanting to improve/develop their use of the english language across the academic spectrum. Its title is very apt, it is indeed a student's companion and a book that will remain in my home library for future generations. This small book is excellent. I got my first copy about 30 years ago and I currently use it as a teaching aid. I recommend this book to all my English students and especially non-native instructors. An excellent book for all native and non-native speakers of English language.This book is a must read. If you find it a bit difficult to comprehend information from a text, if the contents of encyclopaedias seem lengthy, cluttered and strenuous to read, The Students' Companion is the right book that helps you overcome such difficulties. It offers knowledge on a wide range of topics in an easily accessible and lucid manner. Some of the subjects covered in the book are: geographical features of India, world history, world organizations, glimpses of Indian history, the Indian Constitution, India's achievements in science and technology, the universe, vocabulary and quantitative ability among other topics.
