Product Description: A travel-related book by Jim Christy.

As its title implies, this book deals with revising, not with original composition. In business writing, where a first draft often emerges quickly under the pressures of facts, figures, and deadlines, revision is typically the major part of a writing task, and collaborative revision often produces the final document. Revising Business Prose provides detailed revision guidance and a collaborative approach to writing easily applied to writing in business, industry, government, and academics. Based on the premise that bad writing in organizations imitates the bureaucratic style The Official Style, as it's called here this book shows readers how to transform stilted, dense prose into plain English. For anyone interested in the revision process in every business writing context.

**SUBTITLE: A Voyage into Central Africa** A travel book, literary adventure and personal odyssey. In this celebration and critique of present-day Zaire, Paul and Noelle Hyland travelled on river-boats, in dug-out and bizarre vehicles from Congo's mouth, through equatorial forest, to the remotest uplands at the heart of Africa. Seldom sure where they would find the next boat or bed, they met horrors and delights, living among hunters and fishermen, villagers and traders. At last, beside Lake Mweru, the Hylands lived in a mud-and-grass house, where the people begged them to lay their bones. Paul Hyland was born in Dorset in 1947. He has written for music, theatre, t.v. and radio. He grew up with tales of Africa, for members of his family worked in the Congo from 1889 to 1976; they fuelled the fascination that inspires The Black Heart.
