slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations

AMAZING--not about slides, about mind to mind communication

They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing
Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein

The best endorsement is that my students loved it.

William K. Zinsser

Collins, 2006

Very insightful.
