About this title

From the Back Cover

This rhetoric, reader, research paper guide, and brief handbook is the first writing text to fully explain the how's and why's of critical thinking.

The discussion of critical thinking is integrated into the chapters on the writing process and the patterns of organization. Through this unique approach, students learn how to use reflective and critical thinking in writing and reading. The book is designed for maximum flexibility-each part of the book is self-contained. The readings section of the book is organized alphabetically so instructors are not locked into approaching any one reading from the perspective of a single rhetorical pattern.
