In an effort to expand the range of ways graduate programs prepare students to be scholars and practitioners in technical and professional communication, this article argues for a fresh direct reengagement with stories, storytelling, and narrative as valuable ways of studying and effectively producing the varied texts of the workplace. The previous call for acknowledging the value of narrative traces back almost 30 years, and story is still being used in a variety of compelling ways, even as an overt regard for narrative has not been sustained. What may be lacking is a systematic way to transf...

In this paper, I will cover the process of connecting my honors thesis film, Lavanda, with the five senses. I will mainly focus on how the sense of smell can be represented in film along with visual and aural elements. Also, I will present the challenges that arouse while trying to represent taste and touch. Ultimately, I will evaluate the representation of each sense in Lavanda and how a film has the potential to encourage the use of other senses besides seeing and hearing while watching a film.

In most journalistic accounts of e-books it is hard to distinguish the reality from the hype and boosterism that lend a heady air of eventfulness to the subject. People who are attached to physical books don’t make much news, whereas each uptick in sales of e-books has been reported as another step along the way of an e-book “revolution,” a dissymmetry that can make even committed book lovers worry that the days of books might indeed be numbered. One detects this unease in the way they routinely tend to couch their preference for physical books apologetically, defensively, beginning with discl...

Amazon's Kindle is reviewed, and intersections between it, smart phones, and Google Books are described, suggesting e‐books will increase in popularity over time, but that the business model for individual download and institutional purchase will need to support institutional purchase.

The Kindle for iPhone app was a nice surprise when it was first released and kept books in sync across devices and let you access your Kindle purchases.

The case describes the launch of the Kindle and provides information on representative players in the industry (or broader ecosystem) who are likely to be affected, and react: including Penguin (the leading educational publisher), Barnes & Noble (the largest bricks & mortar retailer), Apple and Sony (as manufacturers of competing devices), Google (as a major provider of free e-content) and Adobe ( as a competitor in creating an e-book standard).

Who reads books anymore? Digital publishing, Kindle, the iPad, and the Web are killing the publishing star. Paper is old hat and we're expected to respect that it's in ever shorter supply. But none of that is really true. Sustainable forests restock our paper needs. The Kindle is unlikely to kill the entire publishing industry. Nor has the web. In fact, each year the stats come out there are more pages printed than ever before. The same trend holds true in book publishing. About 1,7 billion trade books are sold each year. That's about 500 billion offset pages. Professional books are essentiall...
