Critical Strategies for Academic Thinking and Writing, Third Edition, is a text and reader that gets to the heart of what is so essential for success in college but is so hard for students to develop.

Edited by Mal Kiniry and by Mike Rose, one of the most well known figures in composition studies, the streamlined third edition gives students more help and guidance to develop competence and confidence with academic work.
