The Active Reader: Composing in Reading and Writing

1 review
Anne Ruggles Gere, Jeffrey Carroll

Harcourt School, 1990

best I've ever seen
This is a delightful but totally out-of-print college reader. Its method is very unusual, though. It takes the broadest possible approach to the art of "reading," defining it, arrestingly, as the means by which the universe is perceived, structured, and given meaning by the mental delineations of the perceiver. It's trippy. Many of the readings are the oft-anthologized pieces one finds in ...

An excellent resource for using maps, compass & GPS effectively!

The explanations and expert guidance on choosing and using a compass, the distinction between magnetic and true north, choosing and using a GPS unit, how GPS works and its limitations (not just for north America but for other parts of the world as well) are definitely worth reading. ...

Lots of kayaking info for all!
I had been looking for an informative book that covered the many aspects of kayaking when I found this book while on a kayaking/camping trip in Maine. The book caught my eye, because it said it was a woman's guide to sea kayaking. However, it is much more than just a "woman's guide". As the others have said, all kayakers will benefit from reading this book. It is an interesting and ...

I might be out of step here, but I liked it.
I have several of Tony Buzan's books, and I appreciate his work very much. Although I don't believe that he is the only word in mind improvement, he has been extremely helpful to me. And this book was no exception. He covers what I feel to be important parts of reading speed improvement -- using the hand to guide, the different guiding movements, improving eye span (among other things). He ...

reads in one sitting, wanting to go out hiking!!
I've read the book in one sitting, turning maps and terrain over and over in my head. The author makes the information clear and concise. It is clear that he is an experienced hiker in all kinds of terrains and conditions: desert and winter environments. It (the book) is a no-nonsense what you need to know instruction set. If you need to know how to use, or even what to buy in a compass, ...
