Between Worlds

A Reader, Rhetoric, and Handbook

By: Susan Bachmann,Melinda Barth

More than just a concise handbook and rhetoric guide, this thematically-organized collection of over 70 readings centered around the theme of "between-ness," discussing concepts such as being caught between generations, living with diverse cultures, dealing with gender conflicts, exploring multiple perceptions of self and others, and accepting or rejecting others' values. This guide to writing, reading and rhetoric features 36 new readings, covering timely topics, such as interpreting advertising, the influence of violence in the media, new family patterns, and living online. An introduction to reading actively begins the reading section, and questions and writing suggestions end of each reading. Writers' strategies and strengths so students can apply this information to their own work. This book also provides new detailed annotations and explanatory notes for the argument essay and for the research paper, and up-to-date electronic research coverage. For those interested in reading, critical thinking, rhetoric and writing." -- Publisher.

Athenian Tragedy in Performance

A Guide to Contemporary Studies and Historical Debates

By: Melinda Powers

Foregrounding critical questions about the tension between the study of drama as literature versus the study of performance, Melinda Powers investigates the methodological problems that arise in some of the latest research on ancient Greek theatre. She examines key issues and debates about the fifth-century theatrical space, audience, chorus, performance style, costuming, properties, gesture, and mask, but instead of presenting a new argument on these topics, Powers aims to understand her subject better by exploring the shared historical problems that all scholars confront as they interpret and explain Athenian tragedy. A case study of Euripides’s Bacchae, which provides more information about performance than any other extant tragedy, demonstrates possible methods for reconstructing the play’s historical performance and also the inevitable challenges inherent in that task, from the limited sources and the difficulty of interpreting visual material, to the risks of conflating actor with character and extrapolating backward from contemporary theatrical experience. As an inquiry into the study of theatre and performance, an introduction to historical writing, a reference for further reading, and a clarification of several general misconceptions about Athenian tragedy and its performance, this historiographical analysis will be useful to specialists, practitioners, and students alike.

God's Superheroes

Amazing Catholic Women

By: Mary Bajda. Illustrated by Melinda Steffen

Superheroes are everywhere — in movies, on television, and in video games. It’s exciting to think about these extraordinary people with amazing powers who save us from evil and are a force for good in the world. But did you know that God has real-life superheroes of his own? They started out as ordinary people. Then something (God!) happened to them, and they changed. God’s Superheroes will introduce you to more than three dozen amazing Catholic women, including Saint Brigid, Saint Joan of Arc, Saint Josephine Bakhita, Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Venerable Satoko Kitahara, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, Servant of God Thea Bowman, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The women in this book went out into our world with courage and determination. Whether as mothers, religious, or teenaged girls they stood against evil and made a difference. Some even had superpowers — they could be in two places at once, or read minds, or heal sickness! They all used the talents God gave them and sacrificed to change the world for the better. They are still champions for good today, and these are their stories. These amazing Catholic women want to stand by your side throughout your adventures and help with the obstacles you face. They want you to become one of God’s superheroes, too! Learn about holy men in this book’s companion – God’s Superheroes: Amazing Catholic Men.
