Classical Rhetoric with Aristotle By Martin Cothran / Memoria Press Aristotle's Rhetoric is known as one of the finest works on the classical concept of rhetoric--a subject's own style or forms of expression. This course is an accompanied 'tour' during this book, conveying in simpler terms what Artistotle's arguments are. Focusing on the content rather than the technique of rhetoric, this course will follow Aristotle's concern with the 'what' of communication. Following the chapters of Rhetoric, open-ended questions focus on questions that may be answered from the book and critical thinking questions. Quotes, selected readings, weekly writing assignments (research and evaluative) and Latin translations are all included, helping students to gain a thorough and unique understanding of this classical tradition. 175 non-reproducible pages, softcover. Answer key sold separately (stock # 636452). |

The Story of Science: Aristotle Leads the Way Volume 1 By Joy Hakim / Smithsonian We owe much of our scientific discoveries, not to mention our cultural mythology, to the ancients. Our constellations, geometry, earth-origins, the motion of the earth, simple machines, and other scientific principles are built upon the curiosity, imagination, and thinking of our forbearers. Sidebars, charts, maps, diagrams, illustrations and photographs illuminate a flowing text that will fascinate students and adults alike. The clear text weaves a historical path of scientist biographies, discoveries, and the research that either confirmed or denied their theories, as the reader discovers just how much science is built upon the work from centuries ago. 282 pages, hardcover with dust jacket. Indexed. |
