  Composition as Conversation -...

  Teaching writing is not for the faint of heart, but it can be a tremendous gift to teachers and students.  Students often approach writing courses with trepidation because they think of writing as a mystical and opaque process. Teachers often approach these same courses with dread because of the enormous workload and the often-unpolished skills of new writers. This approachable composition textbook for beginning writers contends that writing can be a better experience for everyone when taught as an empathetic and respectful conversation. In a time in which discourse is not always civil and language is not always tended carefully, a conversation-based writing approach emphasizes intention and care. 
   
  Written by a teacher with more than fifteen years of experience in the college writing classroom, Composition as Conversation explores what happens when the art of conversation meets the art of writing. Heather Hoover shows how seven virtues--including curiosity, attentiveness, relatability, open-mindedness, and generosity--inform the writing process and can help students become more effective writers. She invites writers of all skill levels to make meaningful contributions with their writing. 
   
  This short, accessible, and instructive book offers a reflective method for college-level writing and will also work well in classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts. It demystifies the writing process and helps students understand why their writing matters. It will energize teachers of writing as they encourage their students to become careful readers and observers, intentional listeners, and empathetic arguers. The book also provides helpful sample assignments.

  Displaced - A Holocaust Memoir...

  Displaced is Linda Schwab’s Holocaust memoir, a retelling of her experience surviving 18 months in a man-made cave, another year as an exile in Poland and Germany, and three years as a refugee in a displaced persons camp. Just six years old when a band of Nazi soldiers arrived in her tiny shtetl in Myadel, Poland, Linda observed atrocities no child ever needs to witness.With her parents and two brothers, during the summer of 1942, Linda was forcibly relocated into a ghetto where most of the Jewish men were led to the nearby forest and killed in a pogrom. After the massacre, Linda escaped with her family into the Ponar Forest, but only after evading Polish nationals and Nazis that patrolled Poland's countryside. Deep in the woods, Linda’s family lived in a cave. They survived brutal winters, eluded partisan fighters that might force Linda’s father to leave the family, and remained out of sight from Nazis and Polish police, who at one point, came only feet from their dugout.Written with historian Todd M. Mealy during a time when Holocaust deniers aim to rehabilitate the Nazi ideology and as roughly 400,000 survivors remain with us, Displaced presents Schwab’s singular voice. Her narrative will help maintain—if not bolster—Holocaust knowledge, as her story of surviving the Polish wilderness during WWII and in a Displaced Persons Camp after the war is unique from most accounts. Displaced will inspire the rest of us to confront hatred in its many forms.

  Alcibiades: The Life and Legacy...

  Charles River Editors

  The Peloponnesian War, as the great historian Thucydides wrote in the introduction to his eponymous book, which has become one of the greatest historical treatises of antiquity, was an event of such calamitous magnitude that Greece had never witnessed its like in all of recorded history. Not the Trojan War, not the Dorian Invasion, not even the recent Persian invasions – which had devastated mainland Greece and seen Athens herself evacuated and put to the flame, the buildings on her Acropolis razed into dust – could compare to the scale of the devastation that engulfed all of Greece for almost three decades, causing tens of thousands of deaths, if not hundreds of thousands.  
  	No individual was in the center of the maelstrom more than Alcibiades, and few people in history walked a finer line between brilliance and instability. Born around 450 BCE into an elite family in Athens, just as the city-state reached its zenith, he came of age at a time when ambition could elevate a man to greatness or destroy him just as easily. If the age of his guardian, Pericles, represented the height of Athenian confidence, then the life of Alcibiades symbolized its unpredictable and restless spirit.  
  	Throughout his life, Alcibiades donned many masks. To some, he was a fearless general, and for others he was an effective diplomat. But to those who knew him the longest, he was a political chameleon who would stop at nothing to get what he desired, and this particular form of reckless ambition and ego ultimately endangered the very city that gave him so many opportunities and an affluent life. Alcibiades was a figure who thrived on risk and reinvention, seen through his decisions in the Peloponnesian War, where he not only fought for his native Athens, but also for its enemy, Sparta. His shifting loyalties not only shocked contemporaries, but continue to fascinate modern historians.
