This important book deals with the fascinating and often misunderstood field of Contrastive Rhetoric, the study of culturally based differences in written discourse. Despite two-and-a-half decades of exploratory research, theory-building in this field is just beginning. This book addresses the central, almost universally neglected issue of textuality as it relates to Contrastive Rhetoric. It offers an informed creative working theory of text with direct application for research in crosslanguage written discourse and suggests implications for the teaching of ESL writing.

Focusing on the themes of innocence and childhood imagination, this book weaves together enchanting fantasies about animals, birds, folklore, and nature. It aims to inspire young readers and cultivate a love for reading through its whimsical storytelling.

The autobiography recounts James E. Martin's tumultuous early life marked by the loss of his mother and abandonment by his father. Raised by his aunt and uncle, he faced a series of hardships that led him on a challenging journey of mistreatment and self-discovery. Over forty years, he sought to uncover his family roots. Rather than portraying himself as a victim, Martin aims to inspire youth facing adversity, emphasizing resilience and the importance of maintaining hope and self-worth despite difficult circumstances.
