Writing Science Through Critical Thinking
Written and extensively class tested with NSF/NIH support, this timely and useful text addresses a crucial need which is acknowledged in most universities and colleges. It is the need for students to learn to write in the context of their field of study; in this case science. Although numerous "how to" writing books have been published, few, if any, address the central pedagogical issues underlying the process of learning to think and write scientifically. The direct connection between this writing skill and that of critical thinking is developed with engaging style by the author, an English professor. Moriarty's book is an invaluable guide for both undergraduate and graduate science students. In the process of learning the specific requirements of organization demanded by scientific writing, students will develop strategies for thinking through their scientific research, well before they sit down to write. This instructive text will be useful to students who need to satisfy a science writing proficiency requirement in the context of a science course, a course in technical writing, advanced composition, or writing for the profession.

World War II Letters of Veale F. Moriarty
He waits at the foot of the gangplank for his name to be called. Shipping out. Twenty- four hours earlier, word came down that he would be restricted to the post. Dressed out in full field equipment (with the new carbine), he grabbed his Val-pack before he was transported to this covered pier in the dead of night. Red Cross ladies in smart blue uniforms pass out doughnuts and coffee while the men embark. He waits in the dark, sipping black coffee, reflecting on his situation. He had seen the best his country had to offer -- just before leaving it. Ten days earlier, on leave in New York City, he went to night clubs and attended the theater. He saw the Ziegfeld Follies, a revival of a 1907 hit...
The Persuasive Pen
The Persuasive Penoffers practical assistance in both the writing process and critical thinking. It teaches students how to think critically and clearly, and how to shape ideas convincingly for readers with varying expectations and responses. This book will be of interest to anyone who teaches a Critical Thinking course, offered in both Philosophy and English departments; Informal Logic; English Composition; Persuasive Writing; and other interdisciplinary courses in which argumentation, writing, and research skills are emphasized.
Questioning History
Traditional eighteenth-century paradigms of reason, truth, and nature underlie modern concepts of self, gender, sex, etc. that are challenged today in the name of a more liberated and pluralistic problematics. This book is the first of two volumes of essays that identify this postmodern challenge. It examines the historiography of postmodern phenomena in relation to the eighteenth-century texts that they ventriloquize. More essays on the topic are contained in Making History (Bucknell Review, Vol. 42, No. 1).
