Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-07 00:00:00 Tracey Young A pretty useful DELTA read - easy to skim through and find what you need, with some good practical teaching ideas.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-12-04 00:00:00 CHARLES DANDY The book is not at all what I had expected, which is not to say that it's a bad book, it's just not as focused on writing as it is on the discipline of geography--cultural/human--which probably led me to rate it lower than it should be rated. I had assumed a closer connection to the Rhet/Comp field, but mostly (in the later half of the book)Reynolds discusses qualitative projects undertaken by her students and the difficulties that were encountered with existing student biases--the biases are also illustrated in some of the questions asked by professors to which students were supposed to respond. I've still got one more chapter to finish, and although I can't see myself applying this book to my own classes in straight-forward fashion, I do see that it would be applicable when it comes to discussing place with my students. Her section that discusses service learning and community service programs in colleges was somewhat insightful for the negatives it explores, but then, I already knew (as do many working in this area) about those negatives.
