Fiction. Cursed by tenderhearted witches, saved by Nazarene healers, and haunted by brazen lunatics, the characters in FIELD NOTES FOR THE EARTHBOUND yearn to escape the relentless horizon of Northwestern Ohio. These connected stories chronicle an area dying to itself: shedding its history and awakening to modernity--to highways, speed, bottled beer, and rock-n-roll.

Showing learners that the act of writing is connected to everyday living, this book emphasizes invention while helping writers rediscover concepts, uncover meaning, and rethink the world around them.

Beginning with overarching strategies for critical thinking and ending with interactive outlines that guide users into greater development and organization, this title provides key methods for users to think critically and powerfully.
