1.		Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: A Case Study in Critical Controversy (Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism) from Bedford Books Customer Review: Huckleberry Finn is a classic. Simple as that. It provides a look into what life was probably like for a 19th century boy. It was different than the life of children today, because today life centers around education. Back then, it was a regular thing to play hooky, even though they got in trouble... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing from W. W. Norton Price: $17.77 Customer Review: Well, ok, here's my argument. I say what is lacking in Gerald Graff's teaching philosophy is vision. As president of the MLA Graff is a widely respected and influential figure, but what is lacking in his many books and articles is a vision of the intellectual life that transcends the kind... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Tempest (Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism) from Bedford/St. Martin's Price: $10.57 Customer Review: The Tempest is rightly regarded as being one of the Bard's greatest works, containing some of his deepest thoughts on the nature of power and the relationship between rational man as controller of nature, and the animal man always to be at the mercy of the passions both of himself, others, and the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		They Say/I Say: The Moves that Matter in Persuasive Writing from W. W. Norton Customer Review: I bought this book for my English class, but have never actually read it. Does have some good stories and writing tips, but not actually useful. Okay if you're a writer. Buy the St. Martin's handbook....way more useful.

5.		Limited Inc from Northwestern University Press Price: $17.10 Customer Review: This is Derrida's critique of speech-act theory. The importance of Speech-act theory for linguistics is that it seems to advance beyond referential theories of language by focusing on what language actually does in specific pragmatic contexts. LIMITED INC serves as one of the most concise and clear... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Clueless in Academe: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind from Yale University Press Price: $15.00 Customer Review: Despite all my admiration for the Graff book which I won't detail here, I will entitle my review of this book "Penniless in Academe" because Graff nowhere talks about the material side of what Randy Martin calls the "managed university". Graff wants to build a better mouse trap to persuade... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Professing Literature: An Institutional History, Twentieth Anniversary Edition from University Of Chicago Press Price: $17.10	Click here for more information


9.		Beyond the Culture Wars: How Teaching the Conflicts Can Revitalize American Education from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $12.55 Customer Review: When Jacques Derrida announced to what he saw as a patriarchal Western-based hegemony that the very basis of a two millennia tradition of belief in the essential goodness and regularity of the human soul was a fiction, it did not take long for the ripples to filter down into America's schools. The... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Professing Literature: An Institutional History from University Of Chicago Press Price: $15.00 Customer Review: This book was a set text on a PhD course and it was interesting and useful, particularly for anyone who is looking to enter higher ed as a lectureer/professor.

11.		English in America: A Radical View of the Profession from Wesleyan Price: $29.95	Click here for more information


12.		Literature Against Itself: Literary Ideas in Modern Society from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher Price: $12.95 Customer Review: This is an outstanding book about literary theory and the academy. A professor of mine recommended it to me as an undergraduate, along with Terry Eagleton's Literary Theory: An Introduction, and I found this one to be the more interesting, the more original, of the two. It is at once a history and a... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Black Planet: Facing Race during an NBA Season from Bison Books Price: $11.86 Customer Review: I picked up a hardbound version of this book for $0.10 at a library book sale, and would take it back for a refund if I could. It seems to me the author is convinced of his premise, then tries to use peoples' words and actions to justify/prove it, often unsuccessfully. I think one problem is his... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.	[no image]	Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: A Case Study in Critical Controversy from St. Martin's Press Customer Review: It's amazing to see how little progress mankind has made since the days of Mark Twain. It's been more than one hundred years since Huck Finn was first published, since that time there's been very little improvement in man's character. We still see the same things: theft, dishonesty, riots, war,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
