Erin Barrett and Jack Mingo surely haven't stumbled on a writer's block, at least not their own. It Takes a Certain Type to Be a Writer gushes with amusing footnotes of literary history with hundreds of underscored facts and boldfaced quotes -- illuminating the amusing, ironic, and unbelievable in the world of publishing. Did you know that... Prior to achieving literary fame, Amy Tan wrote horoscopes. Anais Nin wrote erotica for hire. An anonymous rich patron paid her $1 a page. Anais was told to "take out all the poetry; it has to be nothing but descriptions of sex." John Irving played a wrestling referee in The World According to Garp. Alice B. Toklas was unjustly credited with being the inventor of those famous hashish brownies. In fact, she may have been the victim of a hoax... Read on to find out the details! Book jacket.

When you Read Like a Writer (RLW) you work to identify some of the choices the author made so that you can better understand how such choices might arise in your own writing. The idea is to carefully examine the things you read, looking at the writerly techniques in the text in order to decide if you might want to adopt similar (or the same) techniques in your writing. You are reading to learn about writing. Instead of reading for content or to better understand the ideas in the writing (which you will automatically do to some degree anyway), you are trying to understand how the piece of writing was put together by the author and what you can learn about writing by reading a particular text. As you read in this way, you think about how the choices the author made and the techniques that he/she used are influencing your own responses as a reader. What is it about the way this text is written that makes you feel and respond the way you do?

We hear all the time how American children are falling behind their global peers in various basic subjects, but particularly in math. Is it our fear of math that constrains us? Or our inability to understand math’s place in relation to our everyday lives? How can we help our children better understand the basics of arithmetic if we’re not really sure we understand them ourselves? Here, G. Arnell Williams helps parents and teachers explore the world of math that their elementary school children are learning. Taking readers on a tour of the history of arithmetic, and its growth into the subject we know it to be today, Williams explores the beauty and relevance of mathematics by focusing on the great conceptual depth and genius already inherent in the elementary mathematics familiar to us all, and by connecting it to other well-known areas such as language and the conceptual aspects of everyday life. The result is a book that will help you to better explain mathematics to your children. For those already well versed in these areas, the book offers a tour of the great conceptual and historical facts and assumptions that most simply take for granted. If you are someone who has always struggled with mathematics either because you couldn’t do it or because you never really understood why the rules are the way they are, if you were irritated with the way it was taught to you with the emphasis being only on learning the rules and “recipes” by rote as opposed to obtaining a good conceptual understanding, then How Math Works is for you!
