About the Author George Ehrenhaft, Ed.D. (Moraga, CA) George Ehrenhaft has been the author or co-author of AP English Literature, AP English Language, and other Barrons titles on the SAT, the ACT. Ehrenhaft spent most of his career teaching English in Westchester County, New York, at Fox Lane and Mamaroneck High Schools.
About the Publisher Many great things begin with a tiny spark, and for Manuel H. Barron that spark came from a mimeograph machine in the basement of his Brooklyn, NY, bookstore in the late 1930s. People from the community asked Mr. Barron for books to help their children study for the New York State Regents exams. After realizing there wasn't anything available, Mr. Barron created his own study guides.
Now, more than 80 years later, Barrons continues to help millions of learners worldwide prepare for their next steps. With offerings from pre-college prep to world language guides and professional certification exams, Barrons wants to be part of your success story no matter what learning path youre on. You can trust Barrons to provide exceptional products created only by top experts with years of experience in education.
