The style of the Associated Press defines clear news writing. In fact, more people write for the AP news service than for any single newspaper or broadcaster in the world. The AP Stylebook is therefore âthe journalistâs bible,â an essential handbook for all writers, editors, students, and public-relations specialists.The AP Stylebook contains over 5,000 entries laying out the APâs rules on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage. It gives journalists the references they need to write about the world today: correct names of countries and organizations, language to avoid, common trademarks. Special sections cover business and sports reporting. This edition, published in the Associated Pressâs 150th year, also includes crucial advice on how writers can guard against libel and copyright infringement.An up-to-date AP Stylebook belongs on the desk of every working writer.

World War One spurred revolutions and counter-revolutions across the world, paving the way for the tyranny of Hitler and Stalin and an even greater global slaughter, World War Two, a generation later. Through the prism of history, World War One stands as perhaps the ultimate “War of Choice,” a conflict that could have been avoided through skilled diplomacy and better judgment. Almost all of the men and women who experienced World War One -- in the trenches of France and Flanders, or the deserts of Arabia or the fields and factories of the home front – are gone. With them the world risks losing many of the lessons of that war and an appreciation of the pain and sacrifice endured by those who lived it. On the centennial of the end of World War One, The Associated Press has collected a series of stories tracing the arc of the conflict, from Sarajevo where the Austrian heir was slain through the agony of trench warfare and America’s entry, which turned the tide against Germany and its allies.The “War To End All Wars,” began with stirring words of patriotism and ended with 14 million dead, empires destroyed and the social order torn asunder. "World War I: An AP Centennial Commemorative Edition" features more than 130 photographs from the AP Archives and serves as a must-have for anyone interested in the history of military conflicts.

Jeff Gordon came to NASCAR just as the sport was about to move out of its roots in the Southeast and go global. The non-Southerner who smiled and embraced the media, he hosted “Saturday Night Live” and “Live with Regis and Kelly,” became the favorite driver of millions of fans, including many new to the sport, and the most hated driver to many traditionalists. He traveled around the world, visited the White House and became a driver who was instantly recognizable with his helmet off. And as he prepares for retirement at the end of this season, his influence can be seen among dozens of young drivers who followed his path to NASCAR, coming from California, Indiana, Connecticut or other non-traditional stock car territories and driving in tiny sprint cars on dirt tracks to get experience when they are as young as 5 years old. Included are stories from Gordon's early days and the drivers he battled and influenced, landmarks during the prime of his championship career, and reactions to his retirement from around the sports world.
