Editorial Reviews

Product Description
With a rich legacy, this cross-curricular composition reader continues to emphasize writing as thinking. Organized thematically, it includes quality prose works spanning various ages, cultures, and subjects. The finely-tuned editorial apparatus encourages students to respond actively to the essays, to formulate their own critical judgments, and to develop in writing their reactions to and perspectives on the thematic concerns of the selections. The Sixth Edition features 44 new essays that address current issues such as the death penalty, affirmative action, the role of technology, and the impact of media. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars English Composition 2 class at UTSA Textbook, November 5, 2005
I found this book very useful and with an excellent range of topics and readings. Used in WRC 1023 at UTSA. We did not read the entire book, but I found such interesting articles within the book that I ended up reading a large number of additional topics just out of curiousity. This book has a great section on "How to Mark a Book" and a very good section on "The Writing Process". Also includes some famous images from past newspaper articles and magazines.
