About this title

Review:

"The chapters written by the authors are readable. Their voice and tone are engaging and not condescending. That's quite a feat when you're writing in the imperative."

"The themes included in the reader have a lot to offer. These subjects definitely speak to the interests of our students. At the same time, the essays, a number of which I recognize, seem sophisticated enough to challenge students. All of the clusters apparently have the potential to provoke the intellectual curiosity of our students and to motivate them to write enthusiastically. I'm really interested in Appetites and Addictions, a category I've not seen in readers."

About the Author:
