The Word Within the Word III is the culmination of the series, building upon Volumes I and II and adding to them with new stems and words. Like the first two volumes, Volume III contains thirty lessons, which are structured the same way that the lessons in Volume II were set up: each lesson contains a list of stems, with meanings and example words, as well as a list of advanced academic words that contain the stems, ten of which are new and five of which are brought forward from the first two volumes.

The lessons in this book include various elements from each of the first two volumes, including stem close-ups, notes and ideas pages, reading comprehension questions, analogies, antonyms, comprehension questions about challenging readings, and invention activities, in which students are asked to play with the words in the context of creative writing.

In this volume, the historical essays feature the battle for control of Rome between the assassins of Caesar, Mark Antony, and Octavian and what the Romans did with the peace that came with the end of the civil wars, particularly Rome’s development as the greatest manufacturing power the world would see until the nineteenth century. More than one hundred photographs illustrate the book, bringing ancient Rome to life.

The Word Within the Word II takes up where Volume I left off and continues to illustrate to students the benefits of knowing Latin and Greek stems. Once students know what a stem means, they are able to figure out the meanings of several other words that contain that stem, even if those words are ones they have never seen before.

In this book, each of the thirty lessons begins with a list of stems, along with their meanings and words that contain them, followed by a list of advanced academic words that contain the stems in the list. There are ten new words in each lesson, as well as five words brought forward from The Word Within the Word I.

As in Volume I, there are numerous activities in each lesson, many of which simply involve reading and thinking and discussing the facts and ideas presented. Activities allow students to play with the words, to see them in context, and to understand their grammatical function.

Whereas Volume I included extensive essays about the ancient Greeks, Volume II provides substantial discussion about the Roman Republic. This is the period during which Rome rose from a small mud village ruled by kings to the most powerful entity in the Mediterranean world. The essays explore the history, people, institutions, and army that made that rise possible. There are more than one hundred photographs in the book, along with discussions of such topics as the toga, Roman food, and educational practices, in which frequent beatings were considered an aid to understanding.

Advanced Academic Writing III not only requires longer, more complex, and more deeply documented papers of students than Volumes I and II; it also provides an exploration of intellectually advanced attitudes and understandings that differentiate the most mature and outstanding students, teaching students the excitement of aggressive research and the pleasure of participating in a scholarly tradition that has ennobled research for centuries.

Students who complete Volume III will be well-prepared for any high school or college course that requires them to write papers, and they will shine in any formal writing tasks they might be asked to do in their professional lives.

NOTE: This is the third edition of this book, updated to adhere to the current MLA standards and to include an expanded section on citing and referencing electronic sources of information. We strongly recommend against using older editions of this book.
