Grammar for business, McCarthy M., McCarten J., Clark D., Clark R., 2012.

  The authors wish to thank the many people who have been involved in making this book. First, we would like to thank our editor, Lynn Townsend, who steered us and the book through its long journey from the first drafts to the book you have in front of you. Lynn's views were always helpful, creative and insightful. She was patient when the project suffered the inevitable delays that happen for a variety of reasons and always displayed great good humour. Next, we would like to offer huge thanks to Jessica Errington, our development editor, whose vision as to the ideal shape and content of the units and whose keen eye for detail enabled us to improve our early drafts of the book and to produce this final version. Nora McDonald was also a wonderful editor to work with; she applied her skills and eagle-eyes to the manuscript as it took its final shape. From there on, the production team steered the book through its demanding schedule; Linda Matthews deserves a special thank-you in that respect.

English Collocations In Use, Intermediate, McCarthy M., O'Dell F., 2017.

   The book has 60 two-page units. The left-hand page presents the collocations that are focused on in the unit. You will usually find examples of collocations in typical contexts with, where appropriate, any special notes about their meaning and their usage. The right-hand page checks that you have understood the information on the left-hand page by giving you a series of exercises that practise the material just presented.
The units are organised into different sections. First we start with important information about collocations in general. Then there are sections looking at grammatical and other special aspects of collocations. The rest of the book deals with collocations that relate to particular topics such as Weather or Business, concepts such as Time or Change and functions such as Agreeing and disagreeing or Liking and disliking.

English Phrasal Verbs In Use, Advanced, McCarthy M., O'Dell F., 2007.

   It was written to help you take your knowledge of phrasal verbs to a more advanced level.
It is intended for students who already have at least an upper intermediate level of English. Many of you will have already worked with English Phrasal Verbs in Use Intermediate and this book builds on the work done there. However, it does not matter if you have gained your knowledge of phrasal verbs in a different way. We do not assume that you have used English Phrasal Verbs in Use Intermediate, although we do present and practise either different phrasal verbs in this book or, occasionally, more advanced uses of verbs that were presented in the lower level book.

English Phrasal Verbs In Use, McCarthy M., O'Dell F., 2004.

   This book, like all our other books in the In Use series, is the result of the work of many people. Cambridge University Press editors, reviewers, designers, marketing staff, sales and publicity staff have all contributed their advice and expertise, and there are just too many to name individually here. Particular thanks must, however, go to the following two people at Cambridge University Press: Noinn Burke, whose expertise and vision have guided us throughout the writing of this book, and Martine Walsh, who has steered the project from its beginnings through to publication with consistent insight and thoroughness. We are very grateful to them both. We also owe a great deal to the Cambridge University Press lexicographers who worked with the Cambridge International Corpus to produce the Cambridge International Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs. We drew heavily on the database of this dictionary when selecting verbs to include in this book and when compiling the Mini dictionary at the back of this hook.

English Vocabulary in Use, Advanced, McCarthy M., O’Dell F., 2017.
 
  This book has been written to help you expand your vocabulary at the advanced level. You already know thousands of English words, but to express yourself fully and in a sophisticated way at the advanced level, you will ideally need between 6,000 and 8,000 words, so increasing your vocabulary is very important for your general progress in English, as well as for any academic, professional or vocational needs you may have where English plays an important role. At the advanced level, as well as learning new words, you will need to learn more about the subtle connotations of words, aspects of register and style and how words combine into collocations, compounds and fixed phrases. In this book, there are over 3,000 new words and expressions for you to learn. You will find them on the left-hand page of each unit. Every new word or phrase is used in a sentence, or in a conversation, or is in a table, or has a picture with it, or has some explanation of what it means. On the right-hand page there are exercises and other activities to help you practise using the words and to help you to remember them. Where our research shows that learners frequently make errors, we give you advice on how to avoid the most common ones, as well as other useful language tips. The book has been written so that you can use it yourself, without a teacher. You can do the units in any order you like, but we have grouped them into themes, so you might wish to work through several units on a particular area of vocabulary before moving to a new one.
