DOWNLOAD EBOOKStones and Other Texts is the first complete English translation of his work Pierres suivi d'autres textes, (1966, Gallimard). Stones illustrates Caillois' ability to move between the poetic, the cerebral, and the spiritual. Often bouncing between detailed descriptions of physical characteristics, to geography and the stones movement through space and time, to the mythology surrounding the stones. Unlike The Writing of Stones, which featured images from Caillois' own rock collection, this text pairs a complete English translation by French writer and curator, Valentine Umansky, with the haunting imagery from, writer and designer, Richard Weston.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRecognizing that many students in the sentence-to-paragraph-level course have experienced repeated failure in the past, Stepping Stones takes a fresh approach to the core challenges of the course. The book clearly articulates — textually and visually — the sentence patterns that college writers need to master. Then, it patiently guides students through every step of building these sentences and recognizing common problems in them. Additionally, the book offers unusually thorough, carefully staged guidance in developing and organizing ideas — two of the most difficult tasks for developmental students. Drawing on years of classroom experience, award-winning educator Chris Juzwiak recognizes that all students have the potential to become better writers and just need the right tools to succeed.
