"Unique and thorough, Warner's handbook could turn any determined reader into a regular Malcolm Gladwell." --Booklist

For anyone aiming to improve their skill as a writer, a revolutionary new approach to establishing robust writing practices inside and outside the classroom, from the author of Why They Can't Write

After a decade of teaching writing using the same methods he'd experienced as a student many years before, writer, editor, and educator John Warner realized he could do better. Drawing on his classroom experience and the most persuasive research in contemporary composition studies, he devised an innovative new framework: a step-by-step method that moves the student through a series of writing problems, an organic, bottom-up writing process that exposes and acculturates them to the ways writers work in the world.

The time is right for this new and groundbreaking approach. The most popular books on composition take a formalistic view, utilizing "templates" in order to mimic the sorts of rhetorical moves academics make. While this is a valuable element of a writing education, there is room for something that speaks more broadly. The Writer's Practice invites students and novice writers into an intellectually engaging, active learning process that prepares them for a wider range of academic and real-world writing and allows them to become invested and engaged in their own work.

This sunscreen body lotion is quite nice.
Style: Piña Colada
This sunscreen body lotion seems to work well. SPF 30 is the highest I could find with moisturizing capabilities. The smell is a bit overwhelming when you first put it on but it then goes away... so why the added scent. I wish it were SPF 50 and unscented. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

My fave!!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Wow. I'm so impressed with this conditioner that I'd pay three times what it cost, but I'm glad it's so reasonably priced! For reference, I bought this for myself, not a child, and my hair is medium-fine, wavy, and just past my shoulders. My hair is in good condition since I gave up heat styling a few months ago, starting using more organic hair products, and also switched from chemical hair color to using pure henna. But even though my scalp is oily, my hair is on the dry side because it's still recovering from the abuse I used to put it through, plus I live in the desert. So I like a rich conditioner that deeply moisturizes my hair, and this one does that better than any other conditioner I've ever tried, and I've tried SO SO many. My hair feels hydrated and silky after using this, and shines like crazy in the sunlight. The same day I used it, my husband commented "Your hair looks so healthy." This conditioner also brings out my waves and reduces frizz, without feeling or looking heavy... but a little goes a LONG way... this is a serious conditioner, not a watered-down drugstore product. So if you over-do it, your hair may go limp. I can't stand perfume-y smelling hair products, so I'm happy to say the aroma is natural, and while I wouldn't call it "light," it's certainly not strong. I really love the scent and would describe it as warm and comforting. I hope they never stop making this stuff. It reminds me of another conditioner I really like, by Accure, but I have to say I like the results and aroma of this one even better.
