Riassunto

NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook.

 

Effective writing skills for students of all majors and interests

 

One of the best-selling interdisciplinary composition texts for over twenty-five years, Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum Books a la Carte, MLA Update Edition,13/e  guides students through the essential college-level writing skills of summary, critique, synthesis, and analysis.

 

The book is divided into three parts. Part one, “Structures and Strategies,” takes students step-by-step through the process of writing papers based on source material, explaining and demonstrating how summaries, critiques, syntheses, and analyses can be generated from the kinds of readings students will encounter later in the book–and throughout their academic careers. Part two, “Brief Takes,” bridges the gap between writing instruction and readings with a series of step-by-step exercises. The anthology in part three  provides a wide range of carefully selected, cross-disciplinary readings, including two new chapters on rumor and advertising. Topics are both engaging and teachable, and students will appreciate how these topics correspond to their courses in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences.

You can also purchase a loose-leaf print reference to complement Revel Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum . This is optional.
