Highly Accommodating

The seller originally sent the wrong book and was more than accommodating in correcting this error. The replacement book was sent express mail. The book was in the condition as described and I highly recommend this seller.

Item as described

The item was as described. Only issue was the date of estimated delivery was off by a week! But still happy with the order and pleasure doing business with the person.

Connections is a great way to get students to write.

This collection of essays with the prereading questions and suggestions for further thought works to get even the most reluctant students to express opinions. The essays are organized around thematic units such as "Roots and Arrivals," "Family," "Ways of Learning," etc. When I have used this text, I have found that students -- even those who hate English -- find themselves discussing and writing about what they have read. The focus on making connections with people from different cultural or experiential backgrounds also helps to prepare students for an increasingly diverse world. The only drawback to the book is the lack of really useful information on writing. However, I find it easier to develop my own guidelines for students; and the thought-provoking essays make up for this lack.
