5.0 out of 5 stars Great Text for Discussion Classes, December 26, 2008

This is a perfect book for college courses, especially American Studies for foreign learners. Most of the articles can be adapted for discussion and students' individual follow-up. For example, "How Much Can You Swallow?"--an analysis of an advertisement: students discuss the analysis and bring other ads for interpretation. Some texts are slightly outdated (the publication date is 1992), but even this can be turned to the teacher's advantage. For example, students could "update" the information on computers as icons (from "Living in the Material World") or show how attitudes to weight and gender have developed since the 1990s ("One Size Does Not Fit All").
