John Lorton ably explains the philosophic underpinnings of selected aphorisms and reveals the wisdom inherent in their succinct expression.\" \u003cbr\u003e - Alice Kawazoe, \u003cbr\u003e California Academic Partnership\u003cbr\u003e Program, California State University, and the Stanford Research Network\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The author, John W. Lorton, states that aphorisms cannot be defined, yet here is a compilation of aphorisms clearly defined through example. This collection of aphorisms from great minds throughout the centuries not only clarifies each aphorism through example, but unlike James Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists, elaborates on each aphorism by applying it to twentieth- and twenty-first-century life, making the book a valuable tool for high school and university teachers of English, philosophy, and social studies.\"\u003cbr\u003e -Nancy Polette, \u003cbr\u003e Professor at Lindenwood University, St. Charles, Missouri\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 17, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53425621893427,"sku":"9781462403011","price":20.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Z-faLll5z29781462403011.webp?v=1780520030","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/wisdom-writers-around-the-world-aphorisms-explained-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
