The two volumes of Reader's Choice 4, Split Editions, contain all the high-quality reading skills and strategies in the fourth edition of Reader's Choice. Reader's Choice is based on the theory that proficient reading requires the coordination of a number of skills, but most important, the reader's ability to select the proper skills or strategies to solve each reading problem. The exercises and readings in the new split editions of Reader's Choice will help students become independent, efficient readers. Each carefully selected reading is accompanied by a wide variety of exercises, including a composition focus to facilitate use of the text in integrated reading-writing programs. Skills-focused units alternate with units centering on full reading passages. New in the split editions: " Visual literacy. Today's students are confronted with a dizzying array and combination of print and graphics. These editions feature activities that develop strategies for gleaning information from combinations of text and graphics." Web work. The ability of today's students to evaluate information sources is nowhere more crucial than on the Internet. Web work appears in two skills units in book 1, and other activities accompany several reading selections." New readings. The changing world around us has led to the addition of readings on topics such as genetic engineering, the globalization of tourism, and the cross-generational workplace." Additional vocabulary. New readings bring additional vocabulary. New lexical items are topically related across a series of linked readings. Items are introduced and practiced in a variety of formats, reinforcing both the given item and more general literacy and acquisitions skills. Book 1 includes units 1-6 and unit 13 from the single volume of the fourth edition.Book 2 includes units 7-12 and unit 14 from the single volume of the fourth edition.Both volumes include an extensive lesson plan and guide for teachers and an answer key. The split editions of Reader's Choice 4 are supported by an accompanying website.

Why are Emily Dickinson and Henry James drawn habitually to dashes? What makes James Baldwin such a fan of commas, which William Carlos Williams tends to ignore? And why do that odd couple, the novelist Virginia Woolf and the short story specialist Andre Dubus II, both embrace semicolons, while E. E. Cummings and Nikki Giovanni forego punctuation entirely? More generally, what effect do such nonverbal marks (or their absence) have on an author’s encompassing vision? The first book on modern literature to compare writers’ punctuation, and to show how fully typographical marks alter our sense of authorial style, Mark My Words offers new ways of reading some of our most important and beloved writers as well as suggesting a fresh perspective on literary style itself.

Of the many shows at the fabled 112 Greene Street gallery--an artistic epicenter of New York's downtown scene in the 1970s--the Anarchitecture group show of March 1974 has been the subject of the most enduring discussion, despite a complete lack of documentation about it. Anarchitecture has become a foundational myth, but one that remains to be properly understood. Stemming from a series of meetings organized by Gordon Matta-Clark and refl ecting his long-standing interest in architecture, the Anarchitecture exhibition was conceived as an anonymous group statement in photographs about the intersection of art and building. But did it actually happen? It exists only through oblique archival traces and the memories of the participants. Cutting Matta-Clark investigates the Anarchitecture group as a kind of collective research seminar, through extensive interviews with the protagonists and a dossier of all the available evidence.The dossier includes a collection of Matta-Clark's aphoristic "art cards," the 96 photographs that were produced by the various participants for possible inclusion in the exhibition, and images from a recently unearthed video of Matta-Clark's now famous bus trip to see Splitting in Englewood, New Jersey.

This book is designed to help passengers better understand what the Lewis and Clark expedition experienced during those momentous years of 1804-1806, but also to be able to see through vintage photographs and other images what the members of the Corps of Discovery saw before the rivers were changed forever by hydroelectric dams. It affords an opportunity to travel "in the wake of Lewis and Clark." Leaving St. Louis on May 14, 1804, with thirty-four soldiers, hired voyagers, and Clark's slave, York, they traveled through the unexplored territory and beyond it, to the Pacific Ocean. Their exploits come alive today as cruise ships travel their route up and down the Snake and Columbia Rivers.
