College Algebra is the perfect book for students who need to satisfy the mathematics requirement for their degree, and for those students that will be taking an applied calculus course, or a statistics course. The book emphasizes both skill building and modeling, and includes study skills and success skills that will help them throughout their college careers. Students will leave the class having confidence in the skills they have developed, and a good idea of how the mathematics they have learned can be used to model a variety of situations in the world around them.

One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Joseph Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial than it was when it first appeared fifty years ago. Pieper shows that Greeks understood and valued leisure, as did the medieval Europeans. He points out that religion can be born only in leisure. Leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. He maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for nonactivity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our cultureCand ourselves. These astonishing essays contradict all our pragmatic and puritanical conceptions about labor and leisure; Joseph Pieper demolishes the twentieth-century cult of Awork as he predicts its destructive consequences.

"This edition includes a new box feature called Moves to Model, which explores the rhetorical "moves" that academic writers make and that students can try out in their own writing. Most of the chapters in the brief edition (Chapters 1-13) include at least one Moves to Model box; a couple of chapters have two boxes. This feature does not appear in the reader chapters (Chs. 14-18). In addition to the new feature, highlights of the revision include new advice on recognizing a writer's appeals in Chapter 2, revised advice for finding and evaluating sources in Chapter 7, expanded discussions of integrating sources and using quotations in Chapter 8, a thoroughly revised Chapter 10 that now includes advice on analyzing infographics, new readings throughout the text, and a few revised sample student papers. Throughout the chapters, the authors have emphasized the importance of considering multiple perspectives in academic writing, avoiding binary thinking, and assessing the credibility and accuracy of information"
