This open textbook exists as a free alternative to commercial textbooks, whose prices have climbed 82% during the past decade. Undergraduates must pay around $1,200 per year on textbooks and supplies; consequently, 65% of students decide against buying a Fresh English textbook at all.

In addition to original writings and commentaries written by the editor/author, this textbook is built on remixed public domain and Open Educational Resource materials. (See Acknowledgements.) Meeting ADA accessibility guidelines, this textbook helps students attain the writing standards set by their professors and employers. As with the writing process itself, this textbook is recursive, returning to and amplifying some of the same writing competencies throughout various sections. Fresh English explains composition theory concretely and practically; still, instructors are expected to engage students’ multiple intelligences and learning styles by supplementing the textbook with multimedia, customized writing exercises, and other meaningful activities. Beyond presenting conventional freshman composition competencies such as writing modes, grammar, and critical reading and thinking strategies, I also provide contextualized and interdisciplinary lessons demonstrating that knowledge, be it from history, art, science, or any other discipline, is unified rather than discrete.

Short Description:
This textbook, created by college students for college students, provides advice and guidance for writing successfully, both in school and in life. Sections dedicated to writing, writers, style, assessment, and teaching cover a range of timely topics and helpful strategies for re-thinking your relationship to writing and your identity as a writer.

Long Description:
Gathering advice on over 100 perspectives on writing, this collection guides college students as they explore writing as a discipline of study. Each chapter is written by college students for college students, helping connect authors and readers through shared experiences and approaches.

Good Ideas About Writing came about in response to Bad Ideas About Writing, a collection edited by Cheryl E. Ball and Drew M. Loewe. Their collection, authored by experts in the discipline, addresses commonly held public misconceptions about writing and the teaching of writing. By contrast, Good Ideas About Writing works to build helpful perceptions of writing before those common misconceptions have a chance to take root.

Emphasizing clarity and shared experience, Good Ideas About Writing strengthens students’ understanding of how writing works, both in school and in life after graduation. The ideas in this book will help you approach both writing and learning with confidence and clarity.

Members of the Gordon faculty have collaborated on the authorship of this guide, and it is targeted directly at Gordon students to help them with their writing across the GSC curriculum. This guide provides at least three distinct advantages over other guides: it is specifically targeted to Gordon State students, it covers writing across the whole curriculum, not just English; and it is free.

Many approaches to crafting this guide were entertained, but the authors decided that what students really want from a composition guide are practical examples of writing that they might actually encounter in their classroom experiences at Gordon. Many guides try to do this, but this guide uses real Gordon professors and real Gordon class assignments as a starting point. This results in what we feel is a substantial improvement over other available writing guides.

A new, 21st century verse translation of Homer's epic work, translated by Michael Heumann.

Long Description:
There is no greater introduction to world literature than Homer’s Iliad. The great epic poem tells the story of the Bronze Age war between the Achaeans (Greeks) and Trojans, the great warriors who did the fighting, the woman they were fighting for (and fighting over), and the gods who egged them on.

This is a new, 21st century verse translation by Michael Heumann. It seeks to retain the spirit and language of Homer’s original Greek while making it readable and enjoyable for a modern audience.

Michael Heumann is a Professor of English at Imperial Valley College in California. He holds a PhD in English from the University of California, Riverside. This is his first translation.
