The Open Anthology of Earlier American Literature
Kristen O'Dell Brumfield · Onondaga Community College
Is American literature defined by geographical boundaries? What is the difference between American literature and American history? How does the in-depth study of early American literature prompt us rethink representations of American culture today? In our global era, it is clear that past definitions of American literature must be revisited. This anthology moves to answer the question “what is American literature?” by framing the texts in new and provocative ways that fit the modern age.

Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns
Serge Demeyer, Stéphane Ducasse, & Oscar Nierstrasz · LibreTexts
This text is a guide on how to reverse engineer legacy systems to understand their problems, and then reengineer those systems to meet new demands. Patterns are used to clarify and explain the process of understanding large code bases, to transform them to meet new requirements. The key insight is that the right design and organization of your system is not something that can be evident from the initial requirements alone, but as a consequence of understanding how these requirements evolve.

MA148: Calculus with Applications
Benjamin Bunck · Butler Community College
MA148 - Calculus with Applications. This course will enable the student to differentiate and integrate algebraic, logarithmic and exponential functions and apply those concepts to real-world business and social-science applications, including marginal analysis. This content is a remix of the Applied Calculus text by Calaway, Hoffman, and Lippman. The primary change to the LibreText edition has been to separate the "chapter" exercise sets into smaller exercise sets for each individual section.

Introduction to Earth and Space Sciences
Robert Wagner · HACC
Introduction to Earth and Space Sciences explores Earth as a planet and its place in the larger universe. Beginning with astronomy, we investigate our solar system, stars, galaxies, and the universe. We then examine Earth’s atmosphere and the processes that produce weather and climate before turning to the solid Earth, its materials, geological history, and changing landscapes. Together, these topics reveal the interconnected processes that shape our planet and our understanding of the cosmos.
