The Challenges of Ivan Illich
This unique collection examines the man Utne Reader has called "the greatest social critic of the twentieth century." The essays—all by people Illich has influenced personally—discuss how his life and thought have affected conceptualization, study, and practice of psychotherapy, notions about education, ideas concerning the historical development of the text, perceptions of technology, as well as other topics. All of Illich's books are discussed and his ideas on education, theology, technology, anarchism, and society are examined in relationship to those of René Girard, Karl Polanyi, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jacques Ellul. Illich's previously unpublished paper offering a new view of conspiracy in European history is included.

Writing for the Technical Professions
A departure from the large, expensive, introductory technical communication texts, Writing for the Technical Professions is a brief, easily-referenced, pragmatic text; a manual of actual workplace practices, rather than technical writing "theories," that can take students beyond the college classroom as practicing technical writers. Featuring an appealing comb-bound format with tabbed dividers, this exciting classroom text and reference tool provides real-world advice for composing a wide variety of technical documents. A focus on the electronic workplace, up-to-date coverage of legal and ethical issues including liability and an emphasis on collaboration and international communication make this book a welcome and refreshing change in technical writing texts.
