Leonard Beeghley is a retired college professor. He is the author or co-author of seven academic books. His book, The Emergence of Sociological Theory, co-authored with Jonathan H. Turner and Charles Powers, has been reprinted in seven editions. It has also been translated into Chinese, Korean, and Portuguese. His book, The Structure of Social Stratification, has been reprinted in five editions. After retirement, Professor Beeghley began tutoring Hispanic children and young adults. The goal was to make the lessons interesting, rather than mind-numbing, and to provide students with tools they can use to improve their writing skills. Let's Eat Grandma? A Workbook for Learning the Marvels of Punctuation and Improving your Writing Skills, originated as a series of punctuation and writing lessons for these students. Any beginning writer should benefit from it. See less
