BEAUGRANDE NEW INTRO GRATIS

[hasan ansary]

Thank you so much, Prof. R. de Beaugrande.

After the introduction of the New World Order and globalization process which is making the gap between the poor and the rich larger and larger everyday (academics belonging to the former group, I assume), this new movement should be very much appreciated and recognized by at least the former group  (surely the majority) , though in the eyes of some it may seem to be weird!

regards,

FREEDOM TO THE BOOKS!!



Robert De Beaugrande



I’mglad to announce the free distribution of my 'big' books to be downloaded gratis from my website, which has become



beaugrande.bizland.com

(no www. for some reason)



If I advocate 'freedom of access to knowledge and society' (see especially my newest book listed below), I cannot address people in expensive or hard-to-find  books. The following are already available, scanned, edited, reformatted, and broken down into webpages under 300 kb for easy download and free use. They may be quoted, translated, or downloaded onto CD without the author's permission. An occasional thank-you note would be appreciated, though, to
