For more than two decades, Minnesota has seen a new wave of immigration from disparate areas of the world, including Eastern Europe, Mexico, Central and Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Gregg Aamot, who has been covering immigration in Minnesota since the early 1990s, shares the challenges and realities immigrants and refugees face while assimilating to the Upper Midwest. From a front-row seat in the homes, workplaces, and meeting halls of these newcomers, Aamot provides an informative and intimate view of what life is really like for groups that are striving to adapt to a different culture. We are also reminded of how the last major wave of immigrants--who were mostly Europeans--faced similar challenges,helping us to better understand conditions in Minnesota today. The New Minnesotans is essential reading for anyone interested in the changing cultural and economic landscape in Minnesota, or in other states where the immigrant population is on the rise.

Are you looking for a better way to teach your students the essential elements of good writing? Do your students struggle with complicated directives (such as “place commas around all non-restrictive participle phrases”) that mostly serve to discourage them? Do they understand how writers reach conclusions (theses) and defend them?
Writing Insights: Discovering the Keys to Structure and Content is a unique writing textbook that offers a clearer and simpler way to help your students become confident writers. 
Writing Insights: Discovering the Keys to Structure and Content:
<ul>
<li>Is not a writing handbook. It is not a writing guide or a grammar text, either. Nor is it a reader. It really is a writing textbook―one that uses a completely new and unique approach to the task of teaching students what they need to know about writing.</li>
<li>Uses a series of exercises to equip students with the same “sentence sense”―an unerring sense of the subordination, parallelism and punctuation of sentences―that professional writers possess. By observing the structure of sentences, students will begin to see them in a new way and will be able to write more skillfully and confidently.</li>
<li>Offers students a more orderly and effective way to learn the conventions of usage and provides a creative and interesting way to develop and support theses―another very important area of writing. Several samples―from single-paragraph themes to a multi-page research paper―help students understand how strong papers are constructed.</li>
</ul>
 Most education experts agree that students don’t write as well as they should, especially in this age of digital technology―an era of expanding but undisciplined communication. Give your students the tools to succeed with Writing Insights.
