Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum (10 Rev ed)

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.
