The Broadview Pocket Guide to Writing presents essential material from the full Broadview Guide to Writing. Included are key grammatical points, a glossary of usage, advice on various forms of academic writing, coverage of punctuation and writing mechanics, and helpful advice on how to research academic papers. MLA, APA, and Chicago styles of citation and documentation are covered, and each has been revised to include the latest updates. A companion website provides a wealth of interactive exercises, information on the CSE style of citation and documentation, and much more.
Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced and overpriced. One stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writing is published in an elegant but simple format, and sells for roughly half the price of its fancier-looking competitors. For the sixth edition the coverage of MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of documentation has been substantially expanded as well as updated. Also expanded is coverage of academic argument; of writing and critical thinking; of writing about literature, of paragraphing; of how to integrate quoted material into one’s own work; of balance and parallelism; and of issues of gender, race, religion etc. in writing. The chapter “Seeing and Meaning: Reading (and Writing About) Visual Images” is entirely new. The online materials—including the selection of interactive exercises—have also been revised considerably.
This book explores subjects like faith, works, politics, evolution, creation, racism, abortion, sexual, drug, and alcohol addiction, charismatic and traditional beliefs, miracles, why believe the Bible, does God exist, the carnal man, the Christian man, the rise of militant homosexuals, what was the Beginning, and does God send people to hell who don't have Jesus in their heart even if they never heard of Him? "Dancing with Jesus" by Doug Curnayn will show you new ways of thinking that you may not have considered before. It just may cause you to realize that you're not a real Christian, but only a religious person who thinks you are one. It could show you the way to the salvation of your eternal soul. You owe it to yourself to check it out. Don't pretend your way to hell. Be sure of your salvation. It's the most important thing you will ever do. Even if you don't need this book, go ahead and buy it, and give it to someone who does need it.
A Theory of Fields draws together far-ranging insights from social movement theory, organizational theory, and economic and political sociology to construct a general theory of social organization and strategic action.
“Even the most useful reference guides are not always, well, shall we say, riveting. A refreshing exception is the new Broadview Guide to Writing, which is smart, helpful, and even fun to read.” —Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, authors of They Say / I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing Key Features —A coil-bound reference text suitable for a range of introductory composition and writing courses —Divided into three sections: Writing Processes (including Research, Argumentation, and Style) Writing Mechanics (Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation) Writing Contexts (Writing in different academic disciplines, Forms and conventions, and citation) —Comprehensive treatment of citation style guides, with 2016 MLA style updates —Expanded treatment of research methods, argument structures, and writing in the workplace —A unique section on “How to Be Good With Words”—issues of gender, race, class, religion, sexual orientation, disability, etc. —Expanded coverage for those whose native language is not English —All-new chapter on reading images —Extensive companion website featuring interactive exercises Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced and overpriced. One stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writing is published in an elegant but simple format, and sells for roughly half the price of its fancier-looking competitors.

Coverage of APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of documentation has been substantially expanded, and the MLA section has now been fully revised to take into account all the 2016 changes.

In this concise but thorough history of America in the 1980s, Doug Rossinow takes the full measure of Ronald ReaganÕs presidency and the ideology of Reaganism. Believers in libertarian economics and a muscular foreign policy, Reaganite conservatives in the 1980s achieved impressive success in their efforts to transform American government, politics, and society, ushering in the political and social system Americans inhabit today. Rossinow links current trends in economic inequality to the policies and social developments of the Reagan era. He reckons with the racial politics of Reaganism and its debt to the backlash generated by the civil rights movement, as well as ReaganismÕs entanglement with the politics of crime and the rise of mass incarceration. Rossinow narrates the conflicts that rocked U.S. foreign policy toward Central America, and he explains the role of the recession in the early 1980s in the decline of manufacturing and the growth of a service economy. From the widening gender gap to the triumph of yuppies and rap music, from ReaganÕs tax cuts and military buildup to the celebrity of Michael Jackson and Madonna, from the eraÕs Wall Street scandals to the successes of Bill Gates and Sam Walton, from the first Òwar on terrorÓ to the end of the Cold War and the brink of AmericaÕs first war with Iraq, this history, lively and readable yet sober and unsparing, gives readers vital perspective on a decade that dramatically altered the American landscape.

Most of the people leading the United States of America graduated from the best colleges and universities, and you'd think they'd be capable of making wise decisions. But most of our founding fathers didn't attend Harvard, Yale or any other institution of higher learning; they made decisions using common sense-and perhaps a little help from God. Abraham Lincoln learned to read from the Bible. That's the kind of leadership we need today, but most politicians refuse to seek advice from the Lord or even the everyday Americans they're supposed to represent. We can't just blame them-we're the ones who sit back and allow them to make bad decisions. The first step to solving the problems we face before they overwhelm us begins with understanding them. Find out where we've gone wrong and how to do your part to get the country back on track in America! What Happened?
The Broadview Pocket Guide to Writing: A Concise Handbook for Students presents essential material from the full Broadview Guide to Writing. Included are summaries of key grammatical points; a glossary of usage; advice on various forms of academic writing; coverage of punctuation and writing mechanics; helpful advice on how to research academic papers; and much more. Four commonly-used styles of citation and documentation are covered—MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE.
This is my third collection of Spirit Animal Tales. Following in the steps of The Voice Of Coyote and The Way It Was, the Spirits are still sharing their stories. Coyote, Raven, and the rest keepin' on, with all their humor, pathos, lessons, and irony. As before, these stories run the gamet from cutely simplistic to maturely complicated. Likewise, though they are often filtered through my own mind, my experiences, my times, they are not my stories. I am a conduit, perhaps even a catalyst at times; always a chronicler of a gift given. The one constant in each of these tales is 'Spirit'. The Spirits of Raven, Coyote, a horde of animals and humans, the earth, sky and sea intereact and form these writings. Also, I herein place two tales of long before my Quest, tales of the Dog World, one of which is deffinately a children's story. These were gifts long before I realized there were such gifts. For these, I am ever greatful and I am honored to be finaly able to share them. My one word of caution to the reader is this. Many ideas are covered in these books and don't be surprised if a button or two may be pushed. I find it fascinating that when people come and talk to me about the books, each has at least one particular story that has touched them. There seem to be no group favorites (or unfavorites). I see this as proof that certain stories were given for certain people. In any event, whether you are a previous reader or would care to begin your journey through this entertaining world of Spirit, this myriad maze of manic happenstance, you are humbly invited. There are Realms without number and Coyote and the others are ready to speak.

1989 wurden die damaligen Mitglieder von Group Material – Doug Ashford, Julie Ault, Felix Gonzalez-Torres und Karen Ramspacher – von der MATRIX Gallery am Berkeley University Art Museum dazu eingeladen, sich mit dem Thema AIDS auseinanderzusetzen. Die Künstler trugen ihre Recherchen in einer nach Jahren strukturierten Übersicht über die Umstände zusammen, unter denen sich die Epidemie in eine nationale Krise gewandelt hatte. Untersucht wurden Ereignisse in den Bereichen Medizin, Politik und Statistik, Darstellungen von AIDS in den Medien und künstlerische Resonanzen. Die AIDS Timeline, die in diesem Notizbuch abgedruckt ist, informiert über die verbreitete Stigmatisierung von Menschen mit AIDS, dokumentiert den Einfluss, den Homophobie und Rassismus auf die Herausbildung der öffentlichen Ordnung ausüben und stellt dies in einem größeren gesellschaftspolitischen Zusammenhang. Doug Ashford (*1958) ist Künstler, Autor sowie assoziierter Professor an der Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York . Julie Ault (*1957) arbeitet als Künstlerin, Kuratorin, Herausgeberin und Autorin. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
In Mad As Hell, pollsters Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen use extensive and original research to explore the mind and heart of the populist uprising that has thrown American politics into turmoil. Though so-called professionals in politics, business, and media have dismissed the movement as marginal and extreme, Rasmussen and Schoen argue that it is an authentic grassroots movement of concerned American citizens demanding to be heard. The Tea Partiers are not racist rednecks and ignorant boobs. Their concerns are real and their issues are legitimate. Today’s populist revolt is hostile to the Washington political class, Wall Street, and the mainstream media—all of which they consider out of touch with the concerns of “real” Americans. In Mad As Hell, Rasmussen and Schoen have produced an authoritative guide to the new populism. It is must reading for anyone interested in American electoral politics for the remainder of the decade.
Drag racing is a very regulated sport. In the history of the NHRA, IHRA, and other sanctioning bodies, many classes existed in an effort to make sure the cars racing against each other are as equal as possible. It is a noble, if not futile, pursuit. You have two cars facing off that have very similar statistics in terms of weight, transmission type, fuel type, estimated horsepower, and all other sorts of measurables. The byproduct is that often the races that were "fair" were not the races that the fans wanted to see. During the golden age of drag racing, fans didn't care as much about class racing as much as they wanted to see scores settled, rivalries battled, and interesting match-ups. There were the manufacturer rivalries, Ford versus Chevy, Chevy versus Mopar, Mopar versus Ford, as well as numerous driver rivalries. Match races were also a great way to feature wildly popular cars that no longer had a class in which to compete, yet the fans still wanted to see them. So popular and intense were these races that many track promoters didn't bother to promote class racing at all. Instead, they used the match races as headliners, similar to the marquee at your local arena or a billboard in Las Vegas, all resulting in putting more fans in the stands. And the drivers loved it too. Although the prize money for national events was fairly average for the day, the extra appearance fees and prize money to lure the most popular match racers to events increased the driver's take exponentially. Many of the most popular pro drivers quit class racing altogether just to go match racing. Veteran drag race author Doug Boyce tells the tale of the history of match racing through the cars, the drivers, the events, the classes, the rivalries, and everything else that was fun about match racing during the golden era. It's all here, complemented by wonderful vintage photography provided by fans and professionals in attendance. If you are a fan of any class of drag racing, from any era, Match Race Mayhem is a fun addition to your racing library. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial}
