Welcome!
Occoquan Books, formerly Imprimis Books,
publishes books written by
Horace G. Danner, Ph.D., Professor of Writing at University of Maryland
University College.
His books deal
with vocabulary
for the high school and college student, as well as for the
professional who seeks an expansive vocabulary. The centerpiece of all
his books is Discover
it! A Better Vocabulary, the Better Way. One learns thousands of
words by discovery, not my memorization.
For the medical
community, we were the first (and are still the only one) to publish A Thesaurus of
Medical Word Roots. For those with an interest in biographical
histories, you will enjoy Dr. Danner's Memoirs Out of the
Cottonfields and
Into the Classroom.; A Long Row to Hoe.

Ordering Information
Praise for of The
English Tree: The authors, logophiles of the
first order, have given us an invaluable tool in using, studying,
teaching, and understanding the English language. The book fills a void
and makes me wonder: Why hasn't anybody done this before? The English
Tree of Roots can be used by almost everyone--students, school
teachers--from elementary to high school, college instructors,
home-school teachers, linguists, adults learning English as a second
language, even crossword puzzle enthusiasts. Even a slight familiarity
with the book's contents should guarantee a higher score on the verbal
part of a senior's college board exams. (From the foreword by James J.
Wallace, President, Society for the Preservation of English Language
and Literature.)
