This compact but complete guide shows that less is more—with
fewer extraneous details getting in the way of students trying to
learn on the run, it allows them to focus on the most important
principles of effective technical communication. The Concise Guide
takes a rhetorical approach to technical communication; instead of
setting up a list of rules that you should apply uniformly to all
writing situations, it introduces students to the bigger picture of
how the words they write can affect the people intended to use
them. Assignments and exercises are integrated throughout to
reinforce and test knowledge.
Fresh off the success of Flash Nonfiction Funny comes a piping-hot
new take on the flash genre: Food. Working within a 750-word limit,
each of these nonfiction pieces is driven by a hunger for something
filling. Memories of an ill-fated birthday cake, contemplations on
a family recipe, an embarrassing sauce spill on a first date —
all of it true, all of it tasty. Featuring both established and
up-and-coming writers, this collection is perfect for students of
writing and brevity — and for anybody who appreciates good
food!?Featuring essays by Dinty W. Moore, Kim Addonizio, Sarah
Wesley Lemire, Stephen Goff, Mark Lewandowski, Alison Townsend,
Jesse Waters, Elizabeth Danek, Jonathan Ammons, Leeanna Torres,
Eric D. Lehman, Sari Fordham, Renee Cohen, Brian Phillip Whalen,
Rebecca Beardsall, Pamela Felcher, Lisa Romeo, Amy Barnes, and many
more!
The much-anticipated second edition of The Book of Literary Terms
features new examples and terms to enhance Turco's classic guide
that students and scholars have relied on over the years as a
definitive resource for the definitions of the major terms, forms,
and styles of literature. Chapters covering fiction, drama,
nonfiction, and literary criticism and scholarship offer readers a
comprehensive guide to all forms of prose and their many
sub-genres. From "Utopian novel", "videotape", and "yellow
journalism", to "kabuki play", "Personalism", and
"Poststructuralism", this book is a valuable reference offering an
extensive world of knowledge. Every teacher, student, critic, and
general lover of literature should be sure to add The Book of
Literary Terms to their library.
