This book identifies and examines the various rhetorical skills employed by writers--the wealth of subtle and normally invisible "conceptual moves"--in an effort to develop the tools that students need to make these moves themselves. The rhetorical names that it applies reveal and explore the techniques and tactics that writers take pains to hide. The text offers a fresh approach to the methods of development by pointing out the universal necessity and utility of the modes in thinking and writing and demonstrating how these modes work together.
The Miracle is an continuation of The Mystery of Table Mountain. James Raymond is kidnapped and sold to a despot on a Greek Island. He lives four years there and meets a variety of interesting characters and eventually is miraculously provided a way off the island. When he returns home he finds his wife has remarried, but is able to resolve this and returns to Table Mountain. During this trip he is confronted again by his old nemesis, Regus Collender. A poignant story unfolds about his friends at the Murphy Ranch and their plight. His son by Annette is brought out in the story and he adopts him and takes him back to New York where his son plays an important role to end the story. The Miracle is the second part of the trilogy. Each story stands by itself as it takes the reader through different eras of James Raymonds life. The last of these three books is A Call To duty, which will be available shortly.
