Sommario/riassunto

What do we mean when we talk about reading? What does it mean to ""teach reading?"" What place does reading have in the college writing classroom?   Intertexts: Reading Pedagogy in College Writing Classrooms theoretically and practically situates the teaching of



reading as a common pedagogical practice in the college writing classroom. As a whole, the book argues for rethinking the separation of reading and writing within the first-year writing classroom--for an expanded notion of reading that is based on finding and creating meaning from a variety of symbolic forms, not

Sommario/riassunto

The objective of this book is to present this analytical framework and to illustrate how it can be used in the investigation of economic decisions under risk. In a sense, the economics of risk is a difficult subject: it involves understanding human decisions in the absence of perfect information. How do we make decisions when we do not know some of events affecting us? The complexities of our uncertain world and of how humans obtain and process information make this difficult. In spite of these difficulties, much progress has been made. First, probability theory is the corner stone of risk ass
