No binding. Condición: Good. First Edition. Today, as we live more and more of our lives in online spaces, we carry with us an (e)dentity, an electronic identity composed of the digital traces left behind as we participate in virtual worlds. Every time we upload a picture to a social networking site, create an avatar in an online game, blog or tweet about our life, or buy something online, we generate digital traces that, when examined, form our (e)dentity.(E)dentity draws from multiple sources: newspapers, magazines, blog posts, online comics, and even Twitter feeds. Some are humorous, some serious, some playful, and some thought-provoking; all are meant to illustrate the multiplicity of voices participating in the ongoing conversation about online life and identity.Along the way students will find research, invention, and composing prompts to help them join the conversation. Much like the readings provided in this book, the kinds of composing students will be asked to do move in many ways beyond traditional academic writing. They may be asked to write a blog post, analyze a series of Twitter tweets, create an avatar, examine a webcomic, or reflect on playing video games. As they continue through the text, they will add additional layers of understanding and meaning to their initial conception of (e)dentity, just as each time they participate in online spaces they add more layers to their online identity.

No binding. Condición: Good. Praxis is a truly brief text at only 250 pages, yet it still provides a comprehensive presentation of core rhetorical principles. It informs students of the principles of historical rhetoric, including terms such as ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos, and then applies the concepts to modern issues such as the revolutionary uses of twitter, and climate change. This framework enables students to become critical consumers of the flood of persuasive media that compete for their attention. Moreover, Praxis encourages students to employ this rhetorical framework of concepts to the creation of their own texts. Each chapter features readings, activities, and assignments, some serious and thought provoking, while others are creative and fun. The key to this text is flexibility. It can be used as a stand-alone rhetoric with limited readings, or in conjunction with other readers such as the Fountainhead Press V Series. Praxis moves the student from theory to practical reason to action!.

No binding. Condición: Good. 2. Speech is both a skill and a field of study. Today, however, the rich tradition of speech communication studies is either reduced to a few quick mentions of Aristotle and Cicero, or at worst, lost altogether. Why have we forgotten where we come from, and more importantly, why are we not sharing those origins with our students? In The Speaker, the authors bring tradition to the forefront of public speaking instruction while also maintaining the skills aspect. The text fuses the ageless speech principles developed during the Classical Period with more contemporary advances. This combination provides students with a strong foundation for developing speeches and presentations for the classroom, the boardroom, or the stage. The authors help students understand the why behind the how of effective public speaking.

No binding. Condición: Good. First Edition. Food is the second release in the V Series. Food opens with a recipe for steamed Maryland blue crabs. This single recipe connects the author to a lifetime of memories, binds her to a locale, and represents a narrative of family ties and traditions. Yet it is merely a gesture toward the singularly important place that food holds in our lives. Far more than providing sustenance, food defines us. It connects us with people and places. It sets us in relation to others. It calls up important questions of sustainability and production, of ethics and responsibility. For all these reasons, food gives us a rich variety of opportunities for writing and research, and this text is designed so that students will read, think, and compose with all of these considerations and questions in mind.

Softcover. Condición: Good. 1. Money offers perspectives on money in many of its manifestations: the tangible, the abstract, the necessary, the luxuriant, the identity-formative, the ethical. There are pieces that discuss having a lot of money and pieces that describe having very little. Included are humor, satire, lamentations, analyses, explorations, and complaints. The selections represent a variety of voices with a variety of concerns. These writers explain how money functions, how the middle class has changed over a generation, why college costs so much, and why minimum wage workers can t always just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. These articles, excerpts, songs, and images will give students a wider perspective on money as an incredibly powerful entity from the economic systems that make it work, to the social systems that can t work without it, to the people on whom money works its influence.

No binding. Condición: Good. 1. Matters of authenticity are matters of accuracy, matters of truthfulness, matters of reliability and legitimacy. While Authenticity begins with Custer and the questions about his legend s reliability (when tourists and saloon patrons are being rhetorically targeted), it moves through issues of creativity and nonfiction, ghostwriting and grade inflation, padded resumes and online dating. In the end, Authenticity considers, via Plato, the question as old as western philosophy itself: How do we know that anything we know is, in fact, real?.

Softcover. Condición: new. First Edition. The Assignment is written with one central belief that humans have an essential urge to express themselves and that students given the proper foundation and inspiration will gladly convey that inclination through their writings To lay this foundation the authors have chosen readings that present myths regarding the origins of language from cultures around the world These selections reveal the invention of language as central to every culture and in a sense so enveloped in mystery that every society has developed a legend to give substance to this discovery And just as students are asked to explore why language was invented they are also asked to ponder why they are writing this essay Answering this question will help students develop their thesis and understand that when they care they write better essays.
