With a rich legacy, this cross-curricular composition reader continues to emphasize writing as thinking. Organized thematically, it includes quality prose works spanning various ages, cultures, and subjects. The finely-tuned editorial apparatus encourages students to respond actively to the essays, to formulate their own critical judgments, and to develop in writing their reactions to and perspectives on the thematic concerns of the selections. The Sixth Edition features 44 new essays that address current issues such as the death penalty, affirmative action, the role of technology, and the impact of media.
