Unseen
Hundreds of stunning images from black history have long been buried in The New York Times archives. None of them were published by The Times -- until now. UNSEEN uncovers these never-before published photographs and tells the stories behind them. It all started with Times photo editor Darcy Eveleigh discovering dozens of these photographs. She and three colleagues, Dana Canedy, Damien Cave and Rachel L. Swarns, began exploring the history behind them, and subsequently chronicling them in a series entitled Unpublished Black History, that ran in print and online editions of The Times in February 2016. It garnered 1.7 million views on The Times website and thousands of comments from readers. T...
Summary of Dana Canedy's A Journal for Jordan
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I want to tell you about your father’s journal, which he wrote while he was in Iraq. He wanted to leave you messages about how to live your life, and he wanted to tell you how much he loved us. #2 I struggled to understand what motivated the man who had for so long dreamed of your birth but chose to miss it because he believed his soldiers needed him more. He was devoted to his troops, but never spoke of the war as being about weapons of mass destruction or an axis of evil. #3 Your father was an extraordinarily disciplined man, who believed that sweating on a five-mile run was the best way to shake a cold. He loved to feed me champagne, popcorn, and chocolate in bed. He was also shy, and simple things brought him pleasure. #4 The journal was written by your father while he was at war, and it was a keepsake for his son. He wrote about the dangers he was facing and the things he missed, and he wrote longingly about you.
Everyone's an Author
Students today are writing more than ever. Everyone's an Author bridges the gap between the writing students already do--online, at home, in their communities--and the writing they'll do in college and beyond. It builds student confidence by showing that they already know how to think rhetorically and offers advice for applying those skills as students, professionals, and citizens. Because students are also reading more than ever, the third edition includes new advice for reading critically, engaging respectfully with others, and distinguishing facts from misinformation. Also available in a version with readings.
What Were We Thinking
The Washington Post’s Pulitzer Prize–winning book critic uses the books of the Trump era to argue that our response to this presidency reflects the same failures of imagination that made it possible. As a book critic for The Washington Post, Carlos Lozada has read some 150 volumes claiming to diagnose why Trump was elected and what his presidency reveals about our nation. Many of these, he’s found, are more defensive than incisive, more righteous than right. In What Were We Thinking, Lozada uses these books to tell the story of how we understand ourselves in the Trump era, using as his main characters the political ideas and debates at play in America today. He dissects works on the wh...
