Rewriting: How To Do Things With Texts
30
 
 
Rewriting: How To Do Things With TextsWhat are the moves that an academic writer makes? How does writing as an intellectual change the way we work from sources? In Rewriting, a textbook for the undergraduate classroom, Joseph Harris draws the college writing student away from static ideas of thesis, support, and structure, and toward a more mature and dynamic understanding. Harris wants college writers to think of intellectual writing as an adaptive and social activity, and he offers them a clear set of strategies—a set of moves—for participating in it.

Boy Meets Girl - Joshua Harris (audiobook)Boy Meets Girl - Joshua Harris (audiobook)
What comes between "How do you do?" and "I do"? How do you find a lifetime partner in a way that's God-centered, not self-centered?
Boy Meets Girl is an honest, romantic and refreshingly biblical look at relationships. It's about dating with a purpose. About friendship plus possibility. About romance chaperoned by wisdom. And it's for all ages—single or not. Married couples or parents can benefit from reading this book to encourage and counsel the single adults in their lives, too.

Sam Harris: The End of Faith. Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason [Science; Atheism]
53
 
 
"The End of Faith by Sam Harris is a genuinely frightening book about terrorism, and the central role played by religion in justifying and rewarding it. Others blame “extremists” who “distort” the “true” message of religion. Harris goes to the root of the problem: religion itself. Even moderate religion is a menace, because it leads us to respect and “cherish the idea that certain fantastic propositions can be believed without evidence”. Why do men like Bin Laden commit their hideous cruelties? The answer is that they “actually believe what they say they believe”. Read Sam Harris and wake up.
professor Richard Dawkins, The Guardian
"Do we need another book on the conflict between reason and faith?  Yes, if it is as well-written as Sam Harris’s The End of Faith.”
— New Scientist
“At last we have a book that focuses on the common thread that links Islamic terrorism with the irrationality of all religious faith.  The End of Faith will challenge not only Muslims but Hindus, Jews and Christians as well.”
Peter Singer, professor of philosophy at Princeton and author of The President of Good and Evil: The Ethics of George W.
Bush.

Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris [UNABRIDGED]Discover the origins of one of the most feared villains of all time in Thomas Harris's Hannibal Rising, a novel that promises to reveal the "evolution of Hannibal Lecter's evil." Thomas Harris first introduced readers to Hannibal Lecter in Red Dragon, a tale wrapped around FBI agent Will Graham (the man who hunted Lecter down) and his ability to "get inside the mind of the killer." Graham consults Dr. Lecter (the man who nearly killed him) on the case, and the legend of the nefarious Dr. Lecter was born.
