Aimed at students grades 7-12, King Alfred's English is an entertaining read for any age. This intriguing look at the development of our language is a combination study in both history and English with a bit of linguistics woven throughout. Surprising facts about people and wars, quirky details about spelling and grammar, humorous word histories, all are packed together to form a thoroughly enjoyable and educational overview of English history from 55 BC to 1611, the year the King James Bible was published. The capstone of the book is the story of how we got the Bible in English and it's influence upon our language, with emphasis on the ideas of the Reformation and the people who risked their lives so we could read God's Word in our native tongue. Free supplemental materials for students and teachers are also available on the author's website. For every chapter there are student worksheets and tests; links to online images, articles, and videos; and literature excerpts that expand the lessons-all of these and more can be found at www.theshorterword.com.

Extremely versatile and strong. Worth the price!
These organizers were great for getting the oh so many items that were laying all over the place in my garage securely organized. I love them. They are super strong and extremely versatile~ There are many attachment points so no way they are going to fall off the wall. they hold strongly! Solid metal with a durable finish that I and sure will last the test of time. The hooks are easy to attach and reposition when need be and they stay firmly in place. With the many similar racks available- I’m very happy I chose this set. Well worth the money.

So far so good. I wound up putting sand and water in it. It’s been stable. We’ll see how the finish holds up.

As I expected,My garage said goodbye to the clutter and my tools are hanging in order.
My garage is clean all of a sudden! I don't want my garage to be cluttered because it makes me irritable. I like that the hooks are divided into upper and lower levels, which makes it easy for me to take out what I want. And the hooks are easy to remove, which makes it easy for me to change the placement of the hooks, and now my tools are set up the way I want them, which is perfect. Finally, the tool rack is suitable for a straight line across the placement, not up and down, which is too waste of space.

Love It!
Love this product! We use these sets for fitness equipment storage at our gyms. Anyway I can order several of the 5.8 inch attachments. We use these for Olympic barbells, and need more of just the 5.8 inch. Tough to purchase an entire set when we only need more of the 5.8 inch. Thank you!

Great product!
This was just as expected. I do wish they were a little longer as you can really only use 2 hooks on a panel due to tools touching each other. The product overall is great! It's sturdy and looks awesome!
