  Issues that are covered include how and why information is obtained and how it will be used; how the meaning of technical terms shift with the value perspectives behind them; and how science and technology can be used to put forth questionable values or to serve values not apparent in the discourse.

• 9780205285877: Information in Action, A Guide to Technical Communication von M. Jimmie Killingsworth, Jacqueline S. Palmer  € 65,22 [D]*  Titel nicht mehr im Programm
  

  Information in Action takes a social and rhetorical approach to technical communication, integrating instruction on graphics, oral presentations, collaborative authorship, and electronic production. Using cases and examples, specially highlighted guidelines, a rich array of four-color visuals, and exercises that promote active engagement, Information in Action guides students through the document preparation process with an efficient five-step approach called the CORE method. Students begin by conducting an audience-action analysis that stresses users' needs. Next, they produce a short core document (a position paper, concept paper, or task analysis). Through evaluation, amplification, and revision, they develop this brief document into a graphically rich oral report or briefing, and finally into a complete, action-oriented document that is highly responsive to users' needs. At every stage, students are encouraged to seek feedback from trial audiences, co-authors, editors, and mentors. The text focuses not only on the documents themselves but also on the contexts of technical communication, offering a fuller treatment of ethical, social, and cultural issues than any other text now available.

  As an added benefit, packaged inside every student textbook is a FREE World Wide Web Edition CD-ROM. This interactive CD-ROM contains the full text of the book as well as hundreds of contextually placed links - Weblinks - that take students to websites directly related to concepts in the text. Chapter content is expanded beyond the printed pages of the text and supplemented by the most current material available. For professors, this new CD-ROM offers a convenient way to integrate the power of the World Wide Web into their course."

• 9780132285339: International Organizations von Kelly-Kate S. Pease  € 59,87 [D]*  Titel nicht mehr im Programm
  

  For courses in International Organizations.

   

  International Organizations: Perspectives on Governance in the Twenty-First Century integrates international organizations with international relations theory by showing how international organizations matter in the worlds of the realist, the Marxist, and the feminist, as well as the liberal.

   

  Kelly-Kate Pease wrote this book out of passion and frustration. International organizations are fascinating objects of study. They are almost organic entities-evolving, changing, adapting, and even dying. However, many texts on international organizations tend to view the lives of international organizations through liberal lenses. Liberal lenses are not exactly rose-colored, but they are colored by the implicit assumption that international organizations are inherently "good" and that their "good" efforts are often thwarted by organizational weaknesses, world politics, or self-interested governments. Liberalism has contributed much to our understanding of global politics, but it has its blind spots. Examining international organizations solely from a liberal vantage does a disservice to the study of international organizations and to its development as a discipline. It unnecessarily narrows analysis; worse, it suggests that just one view of the world exists. This text brings other theoretical perspectives to bear on the study of international organizations.

• 9780132343343: Jim Parker's Spring into Leadership, For Managers on the Frontline von James F. Parker  € 20,17 [D]*  Lieferbar
  People matter most. You know that. But most companies would rather slash costs, cut headcount, replace well-paid employees with lower-paid employees or outsourced workers, and reduce customer service. No wonder so many fail and how others focused on doing the right thing can remain profitable and growth oriented for decades. James Parker shows why "doing the right thing" isn't just naïve "feel-goodism": it's the most powerful rule for business success. Parker's stories won't just convince you: they'll move you. He tells how, after 9/11, Southwest made three pivotal decisions: no layoffs, no pay cuts, and "no-penalty, no-questions-asked refunds" for any customer wanting them. The result: Southwest's revenue passenger miles for 4Q01 dropped by only 0.5%, and its market cap soon exceeded all its major competitors combined. These pivotal decisions grew naturally from its culture of mutual respect and trust: Parker reveals how that culture developed, offering deeply personal insights into the principles that can make any team, organization or company strong. You'll discover how great leaders are found at every level, "hire for attitude and train for skills," achieve unparalleled teamwork, and actually make work fun. Powerful and inspirational, Do the Right Thing proves that if you want to build a great business, people really do matter most.

• 9780321099754: Professional Writing and Rhetoric, Readings from the Field von Tim Peeples  € 53,45 [D]*  Titel nicht mehr im Programm
  

  Professional Writing and Rhetoric is a disciplinary reader that introduces students to professional writing by inviting them into conversations about the field by people in the field.

  Intended for undergraduates and entry-level masters students who are majoring, minoring, or getting certificates in professional writing studies, Professional Writing and Rhetoric is an edited reader that makes the field's theoretical discussions accessible to these students. Addressing a growing need as the field expands "up" from service-oriented courses and "down" from advanced graduate programs, it fills an important gap in the books currently available within professional writing studies.

  This text guides students into the discussions that continue to form this relatively young field by (1) organizing readings rhetorically, (2) including several readings that are regularly cited in the field's literatures, (3) selecting readings that are accessible to students, and (4) offering pedagogical devices that aid comprehension and encourage critical reflection. The aim is not to present a "greatest hits of the field," nor to direct students' thinking and practice toward the hottest new theories, nor to challenge the thinking of those already comfortably in the field. Instead, older and newer selections are intermixed within a rhetorical framework to encourage students to make connections across readings, promote reflective rhetorical practice, stimulate discussion, and encourage students to become co-inquirers within the discipline.

• 9780205309443: Revising Business Prose von Richard Lanham  € 25,63 [D]*  Titel nicht mehr im Programm
  

  As its title implies, this book deals with revising, not with original composition. In business writing, where a first draft often emerges quickly under the pressures of facts, figures, and deadlines, revision is typically the major part of a writing task, and collaborative revision often produces the final document. Revising Business Prose provides detailed revision guidance and a collaborative approach to writing easily applied to writing in business, industry, government, and academics. Based on the premise that bad writing in organizations imitates the bureaucratic style - "The Official Style," as it's called here - this book shows students how to transform stilted, dense prose into plain English. An accompanying 40-minute Revising Business Prose Video, as well as a Set of Interactive Revision Exercises, are available from Rhetorica, Inc. for an additional fee.

Giving students the opportunity to defend their rhetorical choices also makes students feel empowered about their writing - a skill they need in the workplace. In addition to five scenarios in each chapter, the text includes brief descriptive overviews of the major topics typically covered in technical communication courses which enables the book to be used as the sole book in a technical communication course.

These "process" chapters teach rhetorical strategies, ethical concerns, genre conventions, and style principles in an integrated, contextualized way. Discussions of rhetoric and ethics are supplemented with heuristics for analyzing the larger cultural effects of service-learning projects.

• 9780201038125: Surreal Numbers von Donald E. Knuth  € 24,56 [D]*  Lieferbar
  

  Nearly 30 years ago, John Horton Conway introduced a new way to construct numbers. Donald E. Knuth, in appreciation of this revolutionary system, took a week off from work on The Art of Computer Programming to write an introduction to Conway's method. Never content with the ordinary, Knuth wrote this introduction as a work of fiction--a novelette. If not a steamy romance, the book nonetheless shows how a young couple turned on to pure mathematics and found total happiness.

  The book's primary aim, Knuth explains in a postscript, is not so much to teach Conway's theory as "to teach how one might go about developing such a theory." He continues: "Therefore, as the two characters in this book gradually explore and build up Conway's number system, I have recorded their false starts and frustrations as well as their good ideas. I wanted to give a reasonably faithful portrayal of the important principles, techniques, joys, passions, and philosophy of mathematics, so I wrote the story as I was actually doing the research myself."... It is an astonishing feat of legerdemain. An empty hat rests on a table made of a few axioms of standard set theory. Conway waves two simple rules in the air, then reaches into almost nothing and pulls out an infinitely rich tapestry of numbers that form a real and closed field. Every real number is surrounded by a host of new numbers that lie closer to it than any other "real" value does. The system is truly "surreal." quoted from Martin Gardner, Mathematical Magic Show, pp. 16--19

  Surreal Numbers, now in its 13th printing, will appeal to anyone who might enjoy an engaging dialogue on abstract mathematical ideas, and who might wish to experience how new mathematics is created.

  Technical Communication Todayremains the only text to fully centralize the computer in the technical workplace, presenting how writers use computers throughout their communication process.  

   

  Writers use their computers to help them think, research, compose, design, and edit.  Not only is Technical Communication Today  firmly rooted in core rhetorical principles, but the text also presents computers as thinking tools that powerfully influence how we develop, produce, design, and deliver technical documents and presentations. 

   

  Clear instruction not only describes technical documents, but also guides the reader through the activity of producing them. Technical Communication Today  helps communicators draft and design documents, prepare material for print and Web publication, and make oral presentations; by bringing computers to the foreground as thinking tools, it accurately reflects the modern day computer-centered technical workplace.

   

  Technical Communication Today  speaks to today's students and how they expect to learn information.  Instructional narrative is "chunked," so that readable portions of text are combined with graphics. Not only does this presentation facilitate learning, but it also models the way today's technical documents should be designed.  Additionally, the chunked presentation integrates an awareness of how documents are read-often "raided" by readers seeking the information they need.  By mirroring these processes in its content and structure, Technical Communication Today offers a higher level of accessibility for readers.

  Technical Communication Todayremains the only text to fully centralize the computer in the technical workplace, presenting how it is used throughout today's communication process. 

   

  The text is based on a solid core of rhetorical principles.  Clear instruction not only describes technical documents, but it guides the user through the activity of producing them. Technical Communication Today foregrounds computers as a thinking tool-helping communicators to draft and design documents, prepare material for print and Web publication, and make oral presentations. It more accurately reflects the modern day computer-centered technical workplace.

   

  Technical Communication Today epitomizes the shift in technical communication from literal-linear created to visual-spatial created documents. This evolution, which has been provoked by the ubiquity of the computer as a communication tool, is changing fundamental writing and reading processes.  The text has been designed using the idea of "chunking," where readable portions of text are combined with graphics. Not only does this concept facilitate learning, but it models the way today's technical documents should be designed.  Its presentation of teaching readers how to write integrates a new awareness of how documents are read-by "raiding" for the information needed.  The author wrote the text with the presumption that users are researching, organizing, drafting, designing, and revising directly on their computer screens. By mirroring these processes in its content and structure, Technical Communication Today offers a higher level of accessibility for readers.

  This market-leading text has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent changes in technology, workplace practices and the global marketplace. The book progresses from concepts and basic copyediting to comprehensive editing, management and production issues. Coverage now includes a new chapter on client projects.

  Technical Editing takes a comprehensive approach to editing and defining editorial responsibility in terms of information design and the overall effectiveness of a document in helping readers understand and complete tasks. Expanding the concept of editing from a narrow focus on sentence-level revisions for correctness, this book encourages students to think about the effects of word choices, sentences, organization and design. Students learn that the measure of a "good" document is in part outside that document, in the document's "match" to the users' needs and the author's goals.

  The textbook with its supplementary Web site and instructor's manual offers a complete editing course, including materials for daily workshops and discussion and longer documents for graded assignments. In a password-protected portion of the Web site, instructors can also retrieve illustrations of edited versions as well as suggested responses to daily activities. Both focused and flexible, Technical Editing includes assignments carefully crafted to develop specific editing competencies and modular chapters that allow instructors to adapt the text to meet their own course goals and methods.
