The third edition of Vis-ã -vis continues the excitement of the innovative second edition with a fully integrated and revised multimedia package and updated cultural information presented in the â¬SCorrespondance⬠feature (chapter opening letter, postcard, or e-mail, which is answered in the mid-lesson â¬SCorrespondance⬠cultural spread) and in the new â¬SBienvenue dans le monde francophone⬠feature that recurs after every four chapters in the text. The overall goal of the revision remains the same as that of the second edition: to promote a balanced four-skills approach to learning French through a wide variety of listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities, while introducing students to the richness and diversity of the Francophone world.

'Failed Images' attempts to understand the divergence between photography and the reality it portrays, analysing the various ways the photograph transforms that which exists before the camera. Because the photographic medium enables very different practices, which in turn results in many kinds of images, it must also be examined from a perspective outside of the dominant approach to the medium, generally called the 'snapshot.' This book therefore explores the photographic image by focusing on practices which refuse this conventional approach, namely staged, blurred, under- and overexposed, and archival photography.

Do you teach? Do you find that, no matter how much time and energy you expend, how many different approaches you employ, regardless of subject or grade level or class size, one all-too-familiar pattern prevails: many learn much, with modest effort; many learn some, with great effort; far too many learn little, no matter how much effort? Bal-A-Vis-X enables both students and teachers to break that pattern, to work together is such a way that many more learn much, with modest effect; very many more learn more, with new found focus of effort; only a few, those who refuse, learn little. Bal-A-Vis-X is both a destination and a portal-to-beyond for any student or teacher willing to go.-- back cover

One of Elle's "Must-Read Titles for Your Book Club." Chosen by The Millions and Flavorwire as one of the most-anticipated books of 2016. The very short stories of Diane Williams have been aptly called “folk tales that hammer like a nail gun,” and these 40 new ones are sharper than ever. They are unsettling, yes, frequently revelatory, and more often than not downright funny. Not a single moment here is what you might expect. While there is immense pleasure to be found in Williams’s spot-on observations about how we behave in our highest and lowest moments, the heart of the drama beats in the language of American short fiction’s grand master, whose originality, precision, and power bring the familiar into startling and enchanted relief.

In Vis à Vis, Don McKay charts a vision of poetics that keeps its feet on the ground and its eyes on the horizon. As one of Canada's leading poets, McKay has long been known for his passionate engagement with his natural surroundings. This book collects three essays on this relationship, together with new and previously published poems that further demonstrate these ideas. Using bushtits, baler twine, Heidegger and Levinas, McKay sets out to explore some of the almost unspeakable concepts driving the use of language particular to poets, and the arguably skewed relationship human beings have with their natural surroundings. In a book the Globe & Mail calls "stylishly constructed" and "impeccably casual," one of Canada's best-loved writers offers his own sense of poetics.
