John Duffy's The edge of seeing is a collection full of a deep-rooted love, one that finds its anchor in the sheer reliable physicality of the world and the universe it turns in. The poems range widely through Celtic legend, through revolutionary France and the schoolrooms and parlours of a Glasgow childhood. They move easily from the lyrical to the heft and swagger of Glasgow demotic speech. They are crowded with voices, and the felt observation of the natural world, its birds and its animals. They are, as he memorably writes of a new born fawn as tough as mice / or daisies. The edge of seeing a delight from beginning to end. - John Foggin

Following on the groundbreaking contributions of Deborah Brandt's Literacy in American Lives--a literacy ethnography exploring how ordinary Americans have been affected by changes in literacy, public education, and structures of power--Literacy, Economy, and Power expands Brandt's vision, exploring the relevance of her theoretical framework as it relates to literacy practices in a variety of current and historical contexts, as well as in literacy's expanding and global future. Bringing together scholars from rhetoric, composition, and literacy studies, the book offers thirteen engrossing essays that extend and challenge Brandt's commentary on the dynamics between literacy and power.

The essays cover many topics, including the editor of the first Native American newspaper, the role of a native Hawaiian in bringing literacy to his home islands, the influence of convents and academies on nineteenth-century literacy, and the future of globalized digital literacies. Contributors include Julie Nelson Christoph, Ellen Cushman, Kim Donehower, Anne Ruggles Gere, Eli Goldblatt, Harvey J. Graff, Gail E. Hawisher, Bruce Horner, David A. Jolliffe, Rhea Estelle Lathan, Min-Zhan Lu, Robyn Lyons-Robinson, Carol Mattingly, Beverly J. Moss, Paul Prior, Cynthia L. Selfe, Michael W. Smith, and Morris Young. Literacy, Economy, and Power also features an introduction exploring the scholarly impact of Brandt's work, written by editors John Duffy, Julie Nelson Christoph, Eli Goldblatt, Nelson Graff, Rebecca Nowacek, and Bryan Trabold. An invaluable tool for literacy studies at the graduate or professional level, Literacy, Economy, and Power provides readers with a wide-ranging view of the work being done in literacy studies today and points to ways researchers might approach the study of literacy in the future.

A Philosophy of Poetry: Based on Thomistic Principles is a book written by John Duffy that explores the relationship between poetry and philosophy. The book is based on the principles of Saint Thomas Aquinas, a prominent philosopher and theologian of the Middle Ages. Duffy argues that poetry and philosophy are not mutually exclusive, but rather, they complement each other. He asserts that poetry can provide a unique perspective on philosophical concepts and can help to make abstract ideas more accessible and relatable. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of poetry and philosophy. Duffy examines the role of language in both poetry and philosophy, the relationship between beauty and truth, and the importance of imagination in both disciplines. He also discusses the ways in which poetry can be used to explore ethical and moral issues. Throughout the book, Duffy draws on examples from a wide range of poets and philosophers, including Aristotle, Dante, and Shakespeare.

This is a new release of the original 1945 edition.

Macroeconomic models and assumptions have traditionally been evaluated using non-experimental field data. However, in many instances the field data necessary to evaluate such models and assumptions are not available. Recently, researchers have begun to explore ways of implementing micro-founded macroeconomic models in the controlled conditions of the experimental laboratory as an alternative means of gathering the data necessary to address the empirical relevance of macroeconomic models and assumptions as well as to understand questions of equilibrium selection or policy prescriptions. This volume is the first-ever collection of laboratory studies aimed at understanding macroeconomic phenomena. The chapters, by leading researchers in the field, explore consumption behavior, expectation formation, monetary economics and central bank policy in a variety of different macroeconomic models. Readers will come away with a better understanding of how to implement macroeconomic models in the laboratory and the valuable insights that laboratory research can bring to our understanding of macroeconomics.

in our profession, John Duffy has again demonstrated his wide knowledge
of the subject.

In Provocations of Virtue, John Duffy explores the indispensable role of writing teachers and scholars in counteracting the polarized, venomous post-truth character of contemporary public argument. Teachers of writing are uniquely positioned to address the crisis of public discourse because their work in the writing classroom is tied to the teaching of ethical language practices that are known to moral philosophers as the virtues-truthfulness, accountability, open-mindedness, generosity, and intellectual courage.

Drawing upon Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and the branch of philosophical inquiry known as virtue ethics, Provocations of Virtue calls for the reclamation of rhetorical virtues as a core function in the writing classroom. Duffy considers what these virtues actually are, how they might be taught, and whether they can prepare students to begin repairing the broken state of public argument. In the discourse of the virtues, teachers and scholars of writing are offered a common language and a shared narrative-a story that speaks to the inherent purpose of the writing class and to what is at stake in teaching writing in the twenty-first century.

This book is a timely and historically significant contribution to the field and will be of major interest to scholars and administrators in writing studies, rhetoric, composition, and linguistics as well as philosophers and those exploring ethics.
