Product Description
This combination rhetoric/anthology shows readers how to read academic volumes effectively and how to use them as sources for papers in a variety of disciplines. Throughout, readers learn how to work individually and collaboratively as they move through the entire process of writing from sources—from reading the original source to planning, drafting and revising essays. The rhetoric section teaches readers the fundamental strategies for all phases of academic writing—critical reading, paraphrasing, summarizing, quoting, organizing, drafting, revising, editing, synthesizing, analyzing, researching, and developing arguments. The anthology section offers engaging reading selections that introduce readers to the issues and the methods of study in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and that serve as idea banks for their writing assignments. For individuals interested in a comprehensive treatment of academic writing.

On time and under budget September 11, 2008
I got the book and the handbook that is suggested. Both were in excellent condition and I received them within 2 weeks of my order. Well before my classes started. I am very satisfied with the products and services the distributor provided me.
Best text I've ever bought June 14, 2005

I bought this book for a college composition class, and read the assigned essays. Now I go back every once in a while to read the other essays in it, and even re-read the essays I've already read.
The editors did an excellent job selecting well-written, interesting essays on a wide selection of topics from a variety of perspectives. There are essays from professionals, amatures, and students. A few are written by liberals and there are a few from more moderate and conservative sources, including Pat Robertson.
This is the kind of book you can keep handy (like in the bathroom) for times when you want to read something in bite size pieces that is interesting and edifying.
