Re: grammar textbook recommendation

For interested parties, here's another grammar resource recommendation.  (No
financial interest here either.)

Image Grammar : Using Grammatical Structures to Teach Writing(Bk & Cdrom)
by Harry R. Noden

Image Grammar is based on the premise that a writer is much like an artist
who "paints" images, using grammatical structures as tools. In presenting
this approach, Noden divides chapters into two sections: concepts and
strategies. The concepts illustrate how professional writers have used
"image grammar" to develop their art; while the strategies provide teachers
with classroom-tested lessons to help students discover what Joan Didion
calls the "infinite power of grammar."

This book comes with a companion CD containing more than sixty complete
lesson strategies and one hundred illustrative examples--all of which are
ready for use at the push of a button. The CD works with any Web browser,
contains dozens of images to stimulate student writing, and features more
than eighty links to thousands of additional images.
