AN AMERICAN PROCESSION
by Alfred KazinAn American Procession is a study, on the largest scale, of the major American writers at work during the historically and literarily crucial century that began in the early 1830s, when Ralph Waldo Emerson founded a national literature on the basis of a metaphysical revolution, and ended on the eve of the 1930s with the triumph of modernism and the critical recognition of the "postponed power" of those who had been modern before their time. These one hundred years encompassed a period of unprecedented expansion and promise in the United States, and the work of our novelists, essayists, poets, and historians was the mirror of the nation's spirit. The thirty years preceding the Civil War produced the transcendental idealism of Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman and the dark romanticism of Hawthorne, Poe, and Melville. In the years just after World War I, modernism reached its exemplary form in the work of Eliot, Pound, Hemingway, Dos Passos, and Fitzgerald, and between the two wars emerged the great realists: Mark Twain, Henry James, Crane, and Dreiser. It is through an exploration of the lives and works of these writers--together with Emily Dickinson, William James, Henry Adams, and Faulkner--that Kazin maps out a great literary procession shaped by individual genius, by history, and by the implacable American sense of self. With each writer, Alfred Kazin illuminates for us the work, the influences that informed it, and its influence on the work of others. Each figure seems revitalized for us by Kazin's acuity and powerful sympathy for his subject. An American Procession, with its intellectual energy, its clarity and breadth, is the brilliantly executed capstone of Kazin's already illustrious career and will stand as the most important study of American literature in our time.

APA: The Easy Way
by Peggy M. Houghton Timothy J. HoughtonThis reference book, updated for the 7th edition of the APA, simplifies the process of writing using the APA writing style. Writing in the APA format can be a formidable process. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition) was developed as a writing technique utilized by both academic and nonacademic institutions and publications. While this reputable manual is the official guide, it is not explicitly targeted at academic scholarly writing . . . particularly student papers. APA: The Easy Way! (7th edition) specifically focuses on the development of academic writing. It highlights related aspects of the manual while providing examples that simplify the writing process. While the official publication distinguishes between professional and student papers, this book focuses primarily on the student paper format. Included in APA: The Easy Way! are the essentials of APA writing style. The book is divided into three sections. Part one focuses on the mechanics of APA format as well as internal text citations; part two emphasizes the actual reference page entries; and part three provides a sample paper. Combined with the official manual, Houghton & Houghton's handbook will ease the anguish and anxiety that APA writing style presents! Education is one of the best investments you will ever make ... and our books maximize that investment! -Houghton & Houghton
