Central Works in Technical Communication |
|||||||||
Edited
by Johndan Johnson-Eilola & Stuart Selber, Central Works brings thirty-two
landmark essays. Central Works in Technical Communication provides a broad
and representative overview of the field. It introduces students, new
teachers, and new practitioners to the community of technical communication
as an intellectual and communal endeavor that encompasses such complex
theoretical topics as research methods, social issues, and ethics. Editors
Johndan Johnson-Eilola and Stuart A. Selber engaged in a comprehensive
selection process--including the consultation of a review board of leading
teachers and scholars--and have included some of the most influential
articles and book chapters published in technical communication over the
last twenty-five years. Each essay is accompanied by a reflective piece
written by its author specifically for this volume. These commentaries
provide context for the essays and allow the authors to add to or challenge
their original ideas and resituate them in a contemporary environment.
The book also features section introductions written by the editors that
offer historical and conceptual approaches to understanding the contributions
each work makes to the field of technical communication. Own this brand new copy! Soft cover edition. Donated by Stuart

Innovative Approaches to Teaching Technical Communication |
|||||||||
Innovative
Approaches to Teaching Technical Communication offers a variety of activities,
projects, and approaches to energize pedagogy in technical communication
and to provide a constructive critique of current practice. A practical
collection, the approaches recommended here are readily adaptable to a range
of technological and institutional contexts, as well as being theoretically
grounded and pedagogically sound. Throughout the collection, its editors
and contributors demonstrate the importance of critically engaging students
through creative and innovative pedagogies.
Programs in technical writing, technical communication, and/or professional communication have recently grown in enrollment as the demand among employers for formally prepared technical writers and editors has grown. In response, scholarly treatments of the subject and the teaching of technical writing are also burgeoning, and the body of research and theory being published in this field is many times larger and more accessible than it was even a decade ago. Although many theoretical and disciplinary perspectives can potentially inform technical communication teaching, administration, and curriculum development, the actual influences on the field's canonical texts have traditionally come from a rather limited range of disciplines. Innovative Approaches to Teaching Technical Communication brings together a wide range of scholars/teachers to expand the existing canon. The editors and authors in this volume suggest that, for various reasons, the field has not been as flexible or open to innovation as it needs to be. Given pervasive technological and workplace changes and changing cultural attitudes, they say, new and more dynamic pedagogies in technical communication are warranted, and they are addressing this collection to that need. Contributing authors include a number of scholars with a strong record of work in composition, technical writing, professional communication, and allied areas (e.g., Selfe, Wahlstrom, Kalmbach, Duin, Hansen), who deliver a variety of approaches that are grounded in current theory and represent pedagogical creativity and innovation.Own this brand new copy!

Edited
by Lynn Z. Bloom, Donald A. Daiker, and Edward M. White. A collection of twenty-four essays assessing and challenging the current state of writing instruction, Composition Studies in the New Millennium: Rereading the Past, Rewriting the Future emerges from presentations given at the national Writing Program Administrators conference held at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 2001. Like its acclaimed and widely-used predecessor, Composition in the Twenty-First Century: Crisis and Change, this timely collection by leading scholars in composition studies responds to concerns about the evolution and future of this field of study. Charting new directions, the contributors grapple with seven distinct questions: What do we mean by composition studies—past, present, and future? What do and should we teach when we teach composition? Where will composition be taught, and who will teach it? What theories and philosophies will underand they do so with a style and organization appropriate for composition instructors, scholars, and administrators at all levels, from teaching assistants to college presidents.

J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century |
|||||||||
Recent
polls have consistently declared that J.R.R. Tolkien is "the most influential
author of the century," and The Lord of the Rings is "the book
of the century." In support of these claims, the prominent medievalist
and scholar of fantasy Professor Tom Shippey now presents us with a fascinating
companion to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, focusing in particular on The
Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. The core of the book
examines The Lord of the Rings as a linguistic and cultural map and as a
response to the meaning of myth. It presents a unique argument to explain
the nature of evil and also gives the reader a compelling insight into the
unparalleled level of skill necessary to construct such a rich and complex
story. Shippey also examines The Hobbit, explaining the hobbits' anachronistic
relationship to the heroic world of Middle-earth, and shows the fundamental
importance of The Silmarillion to the canon of Tolkien's work. He offers
as well an illuminating look at other, lesser-known works in their connection
to Tolkien's life. Awards: 2001 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inkling Studies Own this signed brand-new paperback edition!

Road to Middle-earth: Revised and Expanded Edition |
|||||||||
The
Road to Middle-earth, Tom Shippey’s classic work, now revised in
paperback, explores J.R.R. Tolkien’s creativity and the sources
of his inspiration. Shippey shows in detail how Tolkien’s professional
background led him to write The Hobbit and how he created a timeless charm
for millions of readers. Examining the foundation of Tolkien’s most
popular work, The Lord of the Rings, Shippey also discusses the contribution
of The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales to Tolkien’s great myth
cycle, showing how Tolkien’s more “difficult” books
can be fully appreciated. He goes on to examine the remarkable twelve-volume
History of Middle-earth, written by Tolkien’s son and literary heir
Christopher Tolkien, which traces the creative and technical processes
by which Middle-earth evolved. Awards: 1984 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award

charms are three pewter gargoyles and a garlic bulb. With a few colorful
beads, each one goes on a tiny memory-wire ring that will fit around the
stem of a wine glass, to help guests remember which glass is theirs. (The
images are very slightly smaller than actual size.) Please see Sharon's webpage for her other lovely jewelry: http://condor.stcloudstate.edu/~scogdill/jewelry.html. Also, visit the "aloha" section of the auction website for more of Sharon's work up for auction. Donated by

Peridot, Amythest, and Gold Earrings |
|||||||||
These earrings are on posts, threaded on a slightly flexible gold-plated
SoftFlex wire that will not break. The earrings make a one-inch circle,
slightly larger than they appear here. The circle will face front rather
than to the side. Please see Sharon's webpage for her other lovely jewelry: http://condor.stcloudstate.edu/~scogdill/jewelry.html. Also, visit the "aloha" section of the auction website for more of Sharon's work up for auction. Donated by

Custom-designed Bracelet |
|||||||||
Picture Not Available--See above for examples of Sharon's work and visit her website for more samples: http://condor.stcloudstate.edu/~scogdill/jewelry.html |
Custom
bracelet made of tiny silver-lined glass beads, netted into a cuff that
fits snugly against your wrist. A netted piece that shows the design itself
is available, and we can work together on the beads, the thread (I suggest
Gossamer Floss, so the bracelet is slightly elastic), and the finish (how
about a custom PMC rose as a closure? or vintage German beads?). Or perhaps
you'd like a beaded bracelet with a watch? We'll work together to get you
exactly the piece you'd like. Allow until June 5, 2004 for me to complete and ship your earrings to you.

Custom
earrings made from semiprecious stones or fine Italian glass to your specifications.
You choose the style of earring (post, French wire, etc.,) and the metal
(gold or silver). You choose the stone (lapis lazuli, malachite, amythest,
pearl) or bead (I suggest the Italian gold- or silver-foil-lined beads).
You decide how long you want it to be. If I don't have the stones you like,
we'll find them. We'll work together until it's just the way you want them. Allow until June 5, 2004 for me to complete and ship your earrings to you.

Vintage 1994 Official Computers & Writing Conference T-shirt |
|||||||||

Travel
back in time to the year 1994, when Computers & Writing specialists
met in Columbia, MO, for their annual conference. Mosaic was still King
of the Browsers, Netscape was just a gleam in the eye of Marc Andreesen
and Jim Clark, and Bill Gates still thought the web was a fad. C&W
'94 was the first year for Official Conference T-Shirts (as far as I know).
This shirt is an original, authentic, actual conference t-shirt, owned
by the program chair of the 1994 conference. Daedalus MOO Tenth Annual On the back, the well-known MOO command: @describe me as "a techno-rhetorician" This shirt is no namby-pamby
mint-condition museum piece (though it should
be in a museum, if only C&W had one) but is a fully functioning, somewhat
faded, well-worn t-shirt, a little frayed in places, with few very small
holes in the shoulder seams and under the arms. It's been worn The tag is missing
(due to the fact that some members of the Crump family have Tag Issues)
but it's believed to be an XL or XXL size shirt. |
