Paperback. Condición: Good. SO WHAT? decodes argumentation and academic writing in plain language, using examples that students can easily understand. The book teaches "apprentice scholars" tools for investigation, communication, and critical thinking in school and beyond. SO WHAT? includes clear guidance, examples, and practice exercises for how to: construct significant, compelling arguments; read and think critically; develop and revise drafts; collaborate with other writers; and make smart choices in style and arrangement. As one reviewer said, SO WHAT? is "more engaging, more provocative, and more comprehensive" than most of its competitors.SO WHAT? explains how a scholarly apprenticeship can build skills, knowledge, and habits that students can use throughout college and in their personal and professional lives. Rather than introducing every scholarly style or genre, we teach students how to think rhetorically by providing them with heuristics and tools that they can use in a variety of settings. This approach exposes students to habits of mind and writing techniques they can transfer to other classes and to everyday and professional contexts.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Mary Paik Lee, born Paik Kuang Sun in 1900, left her native country in 1905, traveling with her parents as a political refugee after Japan imposed control over Korea at the close of the Russo-Japanese War. Her father labored in the sugar plantations of Hawaii for a year and a half before taking his family to California, where Mrs. Lee has lived ever since. Though her father knew the comforts enjoyed by the educated traditional elite in Korea, after emigration he and his family shared the poverty stricken existence endured by thousands of Asian immigrants in early twentieth century America. Mrs. Lee?s parents earned their living as farm laborers, tenant farmers, cooks, and janitors, and the family always took in laundry. Her father tried mercury mining until his health gave out. In their turn, Mrs. Lee and her husband farmed, sold produce, and managed apartment buildings.The author is engagingly outspoken and is extremely observant of her social and natural surroundings. Recounted incidents take on memorable life, as do the sharply etched settings of California?s agricultural and mining country. She tells of singular hardship surmounted with resilience and characteristic grace. During much of her life Asian Americans were not treated as full human beings, yet she kept a powerful vision of what the United States could be.…
