The most rhetorically grounded comprehensive handbook for composition, The St. Martin’s Handbook continues to do what it has always done: Present Andrea Lunsford’s substantial and timely research with student writers for student writers. The ninth edition reflects a nationwide survey of students and teachers related to how young people interact with others from different language and cultural backgrounds and with people with whom they disagree. New material on college expectations helps students think critically about barriers to and benefits of open and respectful dialogue and offers strategies for communicating outside of one’s comfort zone. Attention to gender and pronouns and to language varieties and identities supports students as they learn to write to include rather than to exclude. And throughout the ninth edition, which assumes students are writing traditional and multimodal projects in a mobile world, Andrea Lunsford asks students to see themselves as communicators in a global world. With new student writing, stronger coverage of argument, new material on defensive reading and fact-checking, more visual help with field research, the most up-to-date citation models, and a range of practice activities, The St. Martin’s Handbook helps a wide variety of college writers succeed.

An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life. Sent to the most violent battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s SEAL task unit faced a seemingly impossible mission: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories in SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training that helped forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After departing the SEAL Teams, they launched Echelon Front, a company that teaches these same leadership principles to businesses and organizations. From promising startups to Fortune 500 companies, Babin and Willink have helped scores of clients across a broad range of industries build their own high-performance teams and dominate their battlefields. Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic such as Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, and Leading Up the Chain, explaining what they are, why they are important, and how to implement them in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership revolutionizes business management and challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.
