Rhetorical Visions uses the visual world that college freshmen live in and turns it into a rhetorical learning place.”
Beverly Neiderman, Kent State University
“From silence and passive immersion, students are brought into articulate and critical engagement
with the world of images and texts, and thereby, with the world itself.”
Adrielle Mitchell, Nazareth College of Rochester
“…[U]nlike many texts I have used to teach composition, the connections between key rhetorical elements and the thematic readings are
clear and coherent, challenging students to make connections between the two as they read…"
Justin Bain, Westminster College
This important new thematic reader systematically explores key rhetorical concepts in every chapter to help students analyze verbal and visual texts and to write with greater insight and purpose.

* more than 180 images -- from funny to frightening
* generous support for thinking, reading, writing, and research
* access to a rich Web site for RHETORICAL VISIONS at www.prenhall.com/hesford
