From the Publisher

Laying the foundation for all that follows, Chapter 1 is a remarkably clear exploration of how we, as readers, construct meaning and of how we, as writers, must provide readers with the means of constructing our intended meaning.
Each set of readings is preceded by an introduction that discusses critical reading and writing strategies relevant to the selections that follow.
The readings not only lend themselves to critical analysis but have been chosen to represent diverse disciplines, cultural backgrounds, and genres.
Each chapter introduction contains exercises and is followed by suggested writing assignments.
Each reading is preceded by a headnote and followed by questions designed to stimulate critical thinking, discussion, and writing.
Chapter 11, 'Researched Writing,' surveys the library and gives practical advice on evaluating, incorporating, and documenting sources (including electronic sources). These principles are illustrated by a complete sample research paper formatted in MLA style as well as all the essential elements of the same paper formatted in APA style.
