Most books in our collection have an International
Standard Book Number (ISBN), which is like a social security number for books. This
edition of The Iliad of Homer does
not have an ISBN because it was published before 1970, the year when the method
of creating ISBNs was developed.
Ways
of Reading is designed to help college students become
better writers, so I added information about it to an earlier blog page,
Writing Resources. I wrote the following:
Addendum, February 29, 2012: The IHE Library
just received a copy of another book that can help you become a better
writer, Ways of Reading: An Anthology for Writers by
David Bartholomae and Anthony Petrosky (Call number PE1417
.B373 1999, ISBN 031217893X). According to the Google Books page on
this tome (http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN031217893X&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=true):
"Much admired, widely adopted, and one-of-a-kind -- Ways of Reading combines lengthy and challenging readings with an innovative and demanding apparatus to engage students in conversations with some of the most powerful voices of our culture."
One way to improve ones writing skills is to read works of great
authors. This book features works by W. E. B. Dubois, Ralph Ellison,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Michel Foucault, Paulo Freire, Harriet (Brent) Jacobs,
Adrienne Rich, Alice Walker, Virginia Woolf, and more, offering the reader the
opportunity to analyze what makes their writing work so well.
