"the most original and creative literature textbook I have ever seen."
"I am most impressed by the promise of meeting students' needs in their struggle to move from summarizing to discussing style and technique."
"The tone is quite down-to-earth and engaging. I believe students will appreciate that."
"Step by step instructions" are by far the best rubric I have ever seen for writing a critical essay -- brilliant, succinct, essential, and clear."
"The selections in this section are extremely well chosen for college freshmen. I believe these selections will capture their interest, expand their vocabulary and jump-start their imagination."
". . . a brilliant, innovative work that truly makes a textual apparatus an all-in-one pedagogical asset. The text's focus on writing as a discovery tool is its greatest quality, followed by the diversity and quantity of readings."
"I have never seen this level of instructional specificity in an introductory text before."

The Paradigm Developmental Model of Treatment incorporates themes from the twelve-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. These themes provide clinical goals for the counselor to guide clients in the treatment process.
For those clients that attend AA/NA, this model will strengthen their program. For those clients that cannot relate to the spiritual aspects of the Twelve-Steps it provides an alternative perspective that is cognitive-behavioral in nature.
This model utilizes motivational interviewing techniques and cognitive-behavioral interventions. Both MI and CBT are considered evidenced-based therapies and are utilized widely for chemical dependency treatment.
This model provides an assessment scale that pinpoints where a client is in regards to their thinking about their alcohol and drug use and which interventions will be most useful and appropriate given this information. This model is very useful for supervisors to collaborate and provide guidance to their counseling staff.
It is very exciting to share this new model with our professional community. It has been featured in both Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly Journal and Counselor Magazine.

Excerpt from Moving Beyond Treeline - "We need the contrast of adventure in our lives – some adventure – to complement our day-to-day routines and obligations. Both are essential for our well-being as are solitude and community, focused effort and relaxation, affliction and triumph. In wilderness we are capable of moving beyond what we are accustomed to seeing, thinking, and doing into new territory of the landscape and the mind."

As natural as the tree, St. Francis appeared. Golden light surrounded us. When I was four,
St. Francis visited me as I walked back from the creek. Grandma had drawn my bath water
and I remember how it slopped in the pail as we walked through the trees. Looking up, I
saw St. Francis. This is my first memory of Wyoming.
My Uncle Jim had committed suicide. My mother had sent me to Wyoming for the summer to help my grandmother mourn. As her remedy, I gave her a focus and it worked. This is where I mark my life journey into darkness, and this book of poems is where I mark how I found my way home.
The poems resonate and envision a life from torn pieces of history and imagined realties. They exist on the page for the reader's journey, and perhaps, for a sense of freedom.

This is the second volume of Kunzle's rather ambitious plan to provide a history of the comic strip. It covers the flowering of the comic strip in 19th-century Europe, from the pioneers (Topffer, Hogarth, Cruikshank) to the later, popular caricaturists (Cham, Busch, Petit) and also details the magazines they appeared in. Kunzle's aim is to present this artistic form to an audience unfamiliar with it.
