Description
Celebrating its 25th year of helping students of all majors and interests learn to write effectively for college, Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum, Tenth Edition, remains the best-selling interdisciplinary composition text.
This rhetoric and reader guides students through the essential college-level writing skills of summary, critique, synthesis, and analysis, and offers a focused opportunity for practicing these skills in a new chapter, Ch. 7, “Practicing Academic Writing.” Part II provides a wide range of carefully-selected, cross-disciplinary readings, including a chapter on advertising that emphasizes the need to “read” visual texts in an increasingly visual age, and two new chapters on sleep and marriage.
