From the Back Cover

Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum
Tenth Edition
Laurence Behrens • Leonard J. Rosen

The original–and best-selling–interdisciplinary composition text, Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum, Tenth Edition, provides the tools and strategies for students in all majors to learn to communicate effectively. The tenth edition continues to provide sound writing instruction, focusing on the key research-writing skills of summary, synthesis, critique, and analysis. An anthology of engaging thematic readings provides depth of coverage in each discipline-specific chapter.

New in the Tenth Edition

• A new chapter on “The Practice of Writing” (Ch. 7) allows students to practice the skills and strategies that they have learned in earlier chapters and that will make them better writers.

• A new chapter based in sociology, “Marriage and Family in America” (Ch. 8), looks at what’s happening to marriage in the twenty-first century, including feminist and gay perspectives.

• A new chapter based in biology, “To Sleep or Not to Sleep” (Ch. 11), explores the research about adolescents’ need for sleep–and how little they actually get.

• “Has the Jury Reached a Verdict?” (Ch. 14) on law has been updated to include accessible journalistic analyses of the case law discussed.

• New readings in every unit bring the most current perspectives to topics based in folklore, business, American studies, and psychology.

The book I received was not the book that is pictured here, nor the one detailed in the description. The book I received was an "examination copy" meaning it only had a small portion of the materials it was supposed to have. Furthermore, it was labeled by the original publisher as "not intended for resale" which obviously this distributor ignored.

I have used this book in about six classes and it has come in handy several times when writing research papers in both MLA and APA citations.
