Praise for Raise Your Voice

"Raise Your Voice is a simple, thorough and direct introduction to writing and speaking as arguments, and it is the most elegant text I have read on the topic. The text speaks directly to the student with its use of second person, outstanding examples of rhetorical situations, pithy quotations about strong communication, numerous technology tips, and great images.
     "Bomberger and Silva demystify the processes, planning, and production of texts in a way that speaks directly to the student, with the instructor free to listen in. The parts of rhetoric for which professors have specialized jargon are explained without the intimidating terminology and from the point of view of the user, a student who needs to solve communication problems across disciplines and genres.
     "Demystifying communication is the most important mission of anyone who teaches first-year composition or speech. Raise Your Voice does that job. I plan to use this book with my students."

     - Alice Philbin, Ph.D., Professor, James Madison University,

Depositions and Activists

September 30, 2010
Washington State University
Pullman, Washington

If an annual review accuses a professor of repeatedly canceling classes despite warnings that the level of cancellations was unacceptable, do you think the faculty member is entitled to find out specifically what classes were canceled?"

"Surely the faculty member knows that," responded the deposed witness, apparently unaware she had misunderstood the intent the question. My attorney was trying to establish whether university administrators believe they have an obligation to provide evidence when they accuse faculty of violating university rules.

"Well, how does the faculty know what particular classes are the subject of the criticism?"

"I would think they should ask," said the vice provost, who also was a professor of psychology.

"And if they ask, do you think they should be told by administration?"

"I don’t know. I mean, in this particular case, Dr. Demers is doing the canceling of the classes. I believe he would know. By the way, let’s rephrase that and not say ‘canceling.’ Let’s say ‘not holding the classes.’ He knows that information."

"How do you know he knows that?"

The witness stiffened in her chair. The stenographer looked up.

"He would certainly know whether he went to a class at a particular time," she shouted, shaking her finger at me. "If he doesn’t, he needs the help of somebody in my profession."

"Well, doctor, what would happen if no one told him that the conduct of online quizzes was unacceptable?"

"He was told repeatedly," the witness said, shouting even louder now. "His violation of the rule in the academic regulations was considered to be out of line with the acceptable faculty standards, and he was told that repeatedly by many people."

The witness stared at me — the kind of stare that Johnny Miller gave me in third grade right after I beat him in a game of tetherball and just before he slugged me. Thank goodness this time there was five-feet of table between us.

What Critics Are Saying

"... (Bill) Israel's book offers a penetrating view of Rove and his political methods and successes, gleaned from personal and e-mail conversations — Israel describes a dinner party at Rove's Hill Country home — and studying him during that UT-Austin course titled 'Politics and the Press.'”
 
-San Antonio Express-News

Like many neoconservatives, Rove openly admires Ronald Reagan. However, Israel alleges that Rove’s real guru is the legendary advertiser Tony Schwartz. Perhaps Schwartz’s most famous piece of propaganda was a 1964 TV commercial for Lyndon Johnson’s presidential campaign that featured a little girl plucking petals from a daisy as a mushroom cloud rose above her. ... Over the years Rove has played a part in nearly 80 political campaigns, and in the process, Israel argues, he has perfected the art of media spin and negative campaigning. -The North Coast Journal Weekly of Politics, People & Art

The BuckMaster survival knife was conceptualized, designed and built specifically for Navy SEAL Teams Six and Three in the 1980s. This book explores the complete history of the knife and includes interviews with the designers, technicians, the Navy SEAL Team Three commander at that time, and CJ Buck, CEO owner of the company that manufacturered the knive. The 352-page book also includes information about the M9 bayonet and contains more than 100 photographs, about a fourth of which are in color.
