Review:
"Excellent book for showing which texts 'work' in popular resources."--Cynthia Ryan, University of Alabama at Birmingham
"One of the best texts available in terms of writing examples and cultural relevance. My favorite qualities include the historical comparisons that are possible and the variety of genres featured."--Brett Foster, Eastern Nazarene College
"I am particularly pleased with the diverse and historical approach to American culture."--Michele Molk, University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown
"Very well done! Certainly a positive for all students. Not to be missed. The readings on the Press are exceptional."--Ed Rooney, Loyola University
"This is an excellent and varied collection of readings that we are likely to put on the adoption list for our sophomore-level Topics in Writing course."--Christy Friend, University of Texas at Austin
"An excellent introduction to non-academic writing in the United States for both readers and writers."--Tom Carpenter, University of Arkansas at Monticello
"An excellent text that in its fifth edition has become more comprehensive and diverse and, therefore, even more timely."--Donald Gilzinger, Suffolk Community College
"An exciting and unusual mix of texts, unusual because the book offers words caught in the process, not of composition, but of living, as writers struggle to attract, inform and amuse readers, to shake them, basically, out of their inattentive doldrums and feel their words."--Anthony DiMattio,
New York Institute of Technology
"The best reference book that I've seen to inform our international communications majors about our American culture."--Robert W. Larson, Pittsburg University
"Well structured use of advertising issues."--Cassandra Reese, E.W. Scripps School of Journalism
