Now in its ninth edition, this classic book retains the features that have made it the best-selling introductory human communication text in the field: an engaging and reader-friendly style; an inviting visual design that includes high-interest marginalia on virtually every page; up-to-date information on technology, gender, and cultural diversity; and everyday applications based on solid research and theory.
Far from the traditional march through the decades, genres, and national literatures, this anthology focuses on literary "hot spots": Freud's Vienna and Conrad's Congo in 1899, Chicago and London in 1912, the Somme in July 1916, Dublin, London, and Harlem in 1922, all the way through to Toni Morrison's Nobel Prize in Stockholm in 1993 and September 11, 2001. The Companion launches a controversial new method for understanding twentieth-century world literary history and includes illuminating critiques from expert contributors.
The Workbook consists solely of self-study exercises, with answers included, providing students the opportunity to explore and practice grammar independently. It is keyed to explanatory grammar charts in both the Student Book and the Chartbook.
Understanding and Using English Grammar is a classic developmental skills text for intermediate to advanced English language learners.
Framed around the concept of culture, Nanda and Warms' brief book shows you how culture matters in driving and explaining human behavior, as well as the dynamic nature of culture that interrelates various cultural systems in adaptive (or maladaptive) ways. The text emphasizes why understanding culture is important for understanding what is going on in the world today, and how we can solve problems and effect positive change.
