Difficult Empathy and Rhetorical Encounters


Free Download Eric Leake, "Difficult Empathy and Rhetorical Encounters "
English | ISBN: 1032321717 | 2023 | 166 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Difficult Empathy takes up the question of empathy as fundamentally a rhetorical concern, focusing on the ways we encounter and understand one another in what we read and write, hear and say. The book centres around the argument that empathy as a rhetorical event occurs not simply in the minds of individuals but as a product of the rhetorical situations, practices, cultures, and values in which we engage. Rather than identifying empathy as a cure-all, or jettisoning the concept altogether, the author acknowledges empathy’s potential as well as its limitations by focusing on what makes empathy a hard and ultimately worthwhile practice. This nuanced and original study will interest scholars working at the intersection of rhetoric and composition with empathy, as well as those studying empathy in fields such as critical and cultural theory, politics, media analysis, social psychology, and the cognitive humanities.

Precalculus Made Difficult


Free Download Seth Braver, "Precalculus Made Difficult"
English | ASIN : B0CCCLJ6YH | 2023 | 221 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Notwithstanding its punchy title, Precalculus Made Difficult is a straightforward textbook that guides students from the Plains of Mathematical Nowhere to the base of Mt. Calculus in just 200 pages. The only mathematical prerequisites are arithmetic and a hazily-recalled past encounter with the rudiments of algebra. It is notable for its concision, style, and emphasis on building deep understanding and intuition. Seth Braver is the author of three other books on mathematics: Lobachevski Illuminated (winner of the Mathematical Association of America’s Beckenbach Book Prize), as well as Full Frontal Calculus and The Dark Art of Linear Algebra.
