Elliot Turner is in a bit of a rut. Hes spent years wallowing in the depths of an abysmal heroin addiction, and its cost him just about everything. Hes alienated himself from his entire family, with the exception of his Uncle Richard, who happens to be his last true friend. Long lost dreams of being a novelist are now mere ghosts to the incessantly self-degrading young junkie.
When Richard dies suddenly in the California desert, Elliots last vestige of hope dies with him. Little does Elliot know that the grieving process sets him on a path to forge his greatest accomplishments and face his greatest fears. After crashing his truck while under the influence of prescription narcotics, Elliot lands at an indigent recovery center, where he discovers something that shouldnt exist.
Bizarre experiences begin to shape his otherwise rudderless existence as Elliot ponders the power of loss and evades the crippling grasp of fear. Full of delusion and mystery, The Black Hand is a strange, touching, and occasionally hilarious story about searching for purpose in a world gone awry.

Genuine Teachers of This Art examines the technê, or "handbook," tradition—which it controversially suggests began with Isocrates—as the central tradition in ancient rhetoric and a potential model for contemporary rhetoric. From this innovative perspective, Jeffrey Walker offers reconsiderations of rhetorical theories and schoolroom practices from early to late antiquity as the true aim of the philosophical rhetoric of Isocrates and as the distinctive expression of what Cicero called "the genuine teachers of this art."
Walker makes a case for considering rhetoric not as an Aristotelian critical-theoretical discipline, but as an Isocratean pedagogical discipline in which the art of rhetoric is neither an art of producing critical theory nor even an art of producing speeches and texts, but an art of producing speakers and writers. He grounds his study in pedagogical theses mined from revealing against-the-grain readings of Cicero, Isocrates, and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Walker also locates supporting examples from a host of other sources, including Aelius Theon, Aphthonius, the Rhetoric to Alexander, the Rhetoric to Herennius, Quintilian, Hermogenes, Hermagoras, Lucian, Libanius, Apsines, the Anonymous Seguerianus, and fragments of ancient student writing preserved in papyri. Walker''s epilogue considers the relevance of the ancient technê tradition for the modern discipline of rhetoric, arguing that rhetoric is defined foremost by its pedagogical enterprise.
