I have used previous editions of this book in my college freshman composition courses. It does what very few composition texts or readers have ever done: the editors recognize that writing (and reading, of course) does not occur in isolation, but within the context of our own and our students' lives. Particularly, it aids students to think about their own writing in light of the cultural, psychological, and political issues of language, literacy, argumentation, and mass media. They include much about minority and non-Western cultures, plus articles and essays from both the present and the past. If you want to enhance your own or your students' understanding of the complex and exciting world of language, this is the book for you.

Language Awareness was a required text in one of my classes, Rhetoric: Theory and Practice. It was used as supplemental material to the course topic. I read selections and then responded to them in writing using concepts that I'd learned from the class. The actual selections and exercises provide an excellent spring board for thought.

It was definitely a fun and useful addition to my learning process during the course.

I was very satisfied with this product that I needed for my college english class. There are many short stories about language that are interesting to read.

This was a required reading for my English 101 class and there were great essays. I won't be reselling this book!

I purchased this book new. When I got it, it was in excellent condition! It was cheaper than some of the used books that were for sale, so I got a really good deal!!

book is in the same condition as the seller described and it was shipped soon enough.

The book I received was rated in good condition. When I received the book, it was falling apart. There was a large section that was out of the book, and other sections of the book were coming away from the binding. I contacted the seller, and they were very quick to set the situation right, and refunded my money once I returned the book. I ended up purchasing another book from the college bookstore. The book itself has been very helpful for the class.
