"Writing Games should be useful and interesting to a wide audience...Graduate students will be drawn to Casanave's insights into the intricate connections between their writing practices and departmental politics. Composition-rhetoric scholars will find useful models for the articulation of identity in the writing process and the role of reflection in that process. Those interested in cross-disciplinary study and learning community classes will find her examination of students' and teachers' approaches to writing tasks in a variety of disciplines illuminating."&#8212;Journal of College Writing"From Casanave's opening chapter discussing the books framework to her conclusion, the book is rich in insights about the nature of litercy practices among undergraduate students, Master's students, doctoral students, and faculty."&#8212;Studies in Second Language Aquisition"Writing Games is well worth reading for a number of reasons. Qualitative researchers will find Casanave's work compelling as she demonstrates that the results from case study research need not be localized to a particular study and can be interwoven to create convincing arguments and the ground for other case studies. Composition researchers and teachers will also find her work a corrective to the implied promise in some composition courses that the skills of academic writing can be conveyed in one or even several undergraduate courses. Finally, literacy researchers, especially those in English for Academic Purposes, will appreciate a study so grounded in the research as well as in data that focuses on the experiences of non-native speakers...I recommend Writing Games. It is a good academic read."&#8212;Anthropology & Education Quarterly"The many voices of Writing Games produce a rich, complex view of academic writing....The book succeeds in its goals. It demystifies much about the human experience of learning, writing, and life in the academy. At the same time, it expands the grounds for dialogic, practice-oriented accounts of academic writing and enculturation. It is a book that I greatly admire for all it has achieved."&#8212;Paul PriorUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, From the Foreword"I don't know of any other work that has attempted to pull together in one place so much research on literacy (from novice to expert) in higher education, analyze it in such a close and critically constructive way, and make it so highly accessible to readers....Readers will appreciate its depth and breadth of coverage and the remarkable clarity of the author's prose style. Casanave has obviously mastered the writing game herself."&#8212;Diane BelcherOhio State University"I can imagine people picking up this book, reading different parts of it at different times, reflecting on it, seeing themselves in it, and understanding their own practices as students, teachers, teacher educators, and participants in various communities of academic literacy practices....This book definitely contributes significantly to various fields such as applied linguistics, composition studies, and literacy education...[and] to the professional development of teachers and researchers of academic literacy."&#8212;Paul Kei MatsudaUniversity of New Hampshire

The Band-Aid is one of those remarkably useful things that just about everyone has used, but has anyone wondered who invented them and how they become a staple in medicine cabinets all over?In an engaging, humorous narrative, Wittenstein reveals the true story behind the invention. In the 1920s, Earle Dickson worked as a cotton buyer for Johnson & Johnson. His wife, Josephine, was an accident-prone klutz who frequently injured herself in the kitchen, slicing, grating, and burning herself. The son of a doctor, Earle worked on finding easier ways to bandage Josephine's injuries than wrapping them in rags. He took adhesive tape, then applied sterile gauze and crinoline, and the first Band-Aid was born. Impressed with Earle's prototype, his boss agreed to produce and sell the bandage, but it took a while to catch on. Once Band-Aids were mass-produced, the company gave them away to Boy Scouts and soldiers serving in World War II, and then they caught on with the American public and the rest of world. Wittenstein notes that some of the dialogue and interactions between Earle and Josephine are imagined. Hsu's illustrations, done in mixed media and Photoshop, have a whimsical, retro look that nicely complements the lighthearted tone of the text. Earle and Josephine are white, but people of color appear in backgrounds. Appealingly designed and illustrated, an engaging, fun story about the inspiration and inventor of that essential staple of home first aid.&mdash; Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW&ldquo;Necessity is the mother of invention.&rdquo;&#160;Never is that so true than when it involves actual bodily injury! This book tells the fascinating story of the invention of the Band-Aid in the early twentieth century. Josephine Dickson was particularly accident-prone in the kitchen, inspiring her husband Earle to come up with a creative solution. The narrative moves smoothly through the Dickson&rsquo;s household solution to the local impact (give Band-Aids to the Boy Scouts) to the global impact (Band-Aids were given to soldiers in World War II and are now used worldwide). Instructive back matter includes additional factual information about Earle Dickson, Band-Aids, and other major medical breakthroughs. The book tells the story with a delightful sense of humor. A running &ldquo;The End&rdquo; gag will make kids chuckle throughout as they will think they&rsquo;ve reached the end of the story only to find out that it is not over yet. The splendid illustrations include historical details that evoke a distinct sense of time and place.&#160;VERDICT A funny and illuminating nonfiction entry that will hold particular appeal for aspiring inventors and future medical professionals.&mdash;School Library JournalBand-Aids are ubiquitous, so it's hard to imagine a time without them. But 100 years ago, one worried newlywed grappled with how to help his accident-prone bride bandage all the nicks and cuts she got from working around the house. While the idea seems obvious today, the first iterations of the product were not an instant success. Hard work and patience were crucial. Wittenstein's skillful storytelling makes this a fun and compelling read, and Hsu's illustrations capture the look and feel of the era. With back matter that fleshes out the story and lists other medical inventions of the time, this book is appropriate for a variety of ages.&mdash;Young Children
