In this revealing study of the links among literature, rhetoric, and democracy, Rosa A. Eberly explores the public debate generated by amateur and professional readers about four controversial literary works: two that were censored in the United States and two that created conflict because they were not censored. In "Citizen Critics" Eberly compares the outrage sparked by the publication of James Joyce’s "Ulysses" and Henry Miller’s "Tropic of Cancer" with the relative quiescence that greeted the much more violent and sexually explicit content of Bret Easton Ellis’ "American

The second edition of The Elements of Reasoning retains the accessible and succinct approach that made the first edition the best treatment of the essentials of argumentation. It presents the principles that govern the composition of effective argumentative discourse and includes brief examples, with analyses that show students the underlying structure of the argument presented and the ways in which the rhetoric was persuasive. For anyone interested in rhetoric and reasoning.

The majority of the Earth s biosphere is cold and exposed to temperatures below 5°C throughout the year. Having evolved special mechanisms to overcome the life-endangering influence of low temperatures, psychrophiles, i.e. cold-adapted microorganisms, have successfully colonized these environments. Cold adaptation includes a complex range of structural and functional adaptations at the level of all cellular constituents, and these adaptations render cold-adapted organisms particularly useful for biotechnological applications. This book presents the most recent knowledge of (i) boundary cond

Americans care about the public value of moral habits. They like to see virtue rewarded and vice censured, appealing as this does to the nation’s deep sense that one’s success rests neither in money nor in power but in one’s civility. In "The Soul of Civil Society" Don Eberly and Ryan Streeter look beyond such abstractions as the "volunary sector" and superficial communitarian solutions to civic anomie to identify the pitoval role played by local voluntary associations in a civil society. Not only important for the service they provide, these "little platoons", as Edmund Burk

The road to peace requires more than UN resolutions and toppling dictators and military might. It requires the development of institutions that will help move the world toward peace and to sustain it once war is abolished. Service Without Guns, by Donald J. Eberly and Reuven Gal with a guest chapter by Michael Sherraden, points the way to one such developing institution, generally referred to as National Youth Service (NYS). Service Without Guns examines the linkages between military service and NYS in the 20th Century, describes their common characteristics, notes the similarities in impact
