"75 Readings Plus" is a version of the best-selling "75 Readings" that supplies additional guidance for student readers. Both books are rhetorically arranged and collect the most popular essays for first-year writing. The readings represent a wide variety of authors, disciplines, issues, and interests, and at ten dollars less than most composition readers, "75 Readings Plus" is an excellent value for students.

From the Publisher:

Thirteen new readings: These include Nancy Mairs, "On Being Cripple"; William Lutz, "Doublespeak"; Scott Russell Sanders, "The Men We Carry in Our Minds"; Barbara Huttman, "A Crime of Compassion"; and Amy Tan, "Mother Tongue."
Mixed Strategies: A new Chapter (11) demonstrates how writers often use more than one rhetorical mode to support their main point.
Restructured Argument Chapter: Chapter 10 now has paired essays on topics of current interest to students, including media ethics, welfare reform, and free speech.
Cross References: The table of contents is cross-referenced for instructors who want to teach multiple perspectives on a particular topic.
