She teaches tactics for handling bullies, complainers, rude children, and angry people of every stripe. Her weapons are kindness, empathy, and a bit of detachment. Her anecdotes get to the bottom of conflicts with the same humor she urges on her readers."-The Dallas Morning News "If you use the strategies outlined by Horn, Tongue Fu! will change your attitude and the attitude of others. It will also change the way others treat you. This book is filled with diplomatic ways to deflect conflicts." -Foreign Service Journal "Sam Horn is a verbal black belt who knows how to counter oral attacks . . . her new book Tongue Fu! doesn't explain how to defeat opponents with linguistic karate chops. Instead, it teaches how to kill conflict with kindness."-The Seattle Times "This self-help book focuses on communication-specifically, how to see through your anger, embarrassment, and frustration to deal constructively with other people. Anecdotes and action plans . . . enliven the book."-Honolulu Star Bulletin "By focusing on real-life responses to verbal challenges instead of theories and platitudes, the author has delivered a convenient handbook for the mental martial art of verbal self-protection. Horn's book is a lively, positive guide that can be returned to time and again. A popular title for all public library collections."-Library Journal

In subsequent chapters, Carpenter describes Tolkien's work on the New English dictionary, his brief tenure at Leeds University and return to Oxford as Professor of Anglo-Saxon and later of English Language and Literature until his retirement in 1959. The author discusses his collaborations with various colleagues on academic works and his writing of many imaginative stories for his children and his own amusement, including The Hobbit. Carpenter describes Tolkien's close friendship with C. S. Lewis and the circumstances that later lead to its waning. He relates the lengthy history of the writing of The Lord of the rings and its complicated publishing history. Finally, he discusses the success of the book and how it affected Tolkien's life.
