Suburban Metal Dad
Suburban Metal Dad, Compendium One: Raging Bullsh*t collects Years III and IV of the terrible webcomic by D.X. Ferris. Metal Dad grew up listening to Megadeth and raging against the machines. But now he's older, he has a family, and he needs to harmoniously exist with the people around him. So he can't punch his pinhead boss when he wants to. And he usually wants to. Some of the comics are gag-a-day strips. Some are episodes from multi-part storylines. Some are single panels. Some are esoteric (read: poorly written pop-culture references). Sometimes they're bitter. Sometimes they have heart. Sometimes they're running bits. Some are random ideas that have nothing to do with anything. Sometimes they're metal. But they all have a low-tech punk-rock quality (or lack thereof). You're pissed, but you know you got it good. This is the struggle. This is Suburban Metal Dad. Compendium One features 162 black & white comic strips, eight even-worse demo strips, an updated SMD FAQ, a foreword, and a true-life Metal Dad story (so there's stuff to read too, in addition to stick figures and sloppy lettering).
In Case We Die
Danny Bland’s fictional prose novel about a doomed junkie couple is given depth by his first hand experiences in the ’90s grunge rock scene. “It wasn’t the pounding headache or the all too familiar taste of blood in my mouth that woke me that morning, but the stink of cat piss. They all have cats. Cats and bad tattoos and mops of dyed black hair that reek of cigarettes and watermelon Bubblicious.” This debut novel by veteran Seattle musician Danny Bland follows a pair of outsiders who find themselves locked in the palpable, dizzy grunge-rock scene of early-’90s Seattle. Vulnerable to the high relief of heroin addiction, Bland’s characters ― Charlie Hyatt and Carrie Finch ― ...

Written Corrective Feedback in Second Language Acquisition and Writing
What should language and writing teachers do about giving students written corrective feedback? This book surveys theory, research, and practice on the important and sometimes controversial issue of written corrective feedback, also known as “error/grammar correction,” and its impact on second language acquisition and second language writing development. Offering state-of-the-art treatment of a topic that is highly relevant to both researchers and practitioners, it critically analyzes and synthesizes several parallel and complementary strands of research — work on error/feedback (both oral and written) in SLA and studies of the impact of error correction in writing/composition courses — and addresses practical applications. Drawing from both second language acquisition and writing/composition literature, this volume is the first to intentionally connect these two separate but important lines of inquiry.
Circles in the Sky
In the summer of 1893, at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, an engineering marvel was unveiled and immediately captured the world s attention. It was a towering, web-like giant wheel, standing upright and rotating high above the city. Several stories taller than any existing American building, the Ferris Wheel carried adventure-seeking passengers to the dizzying height of 264 feet and provided panoramic views never before possible. George W. G. Ferris Jr. and his wheel helped usher America eager to identify itself with ingenuity, entrepreneurialism, and innovation into the 20th century. Yet the very wheel that came to define George Ferris in the end consumed him, leaving him ruined. This ...
