Writing: A Guide for College and Beyond

Writing: A Guide for College and Beyond uses written instruction and visual tools to teaches how to read, write, and research effectively for different purposes.

Lester Faigley’s clear and inviting teaching style and Dorling Kindersley’s accessible and striking design combine to create a textbook that shows what readers and writers actually do.  Unique and dynamic presentations of reading, writing, and research processes in the text bring writing alive and speaks to those with many learning styles.  Throughout the book, the readers are engaged and learning, with such notable features as “process maps” to guide through the major writing assignments, extensive examples of student “Writers at work,” and diverse, distinctive reading selections.

Lester Faigley holds the Robert Adger Law and Thos. H. Law Professorship in Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin. He was the founding director of the Division (now Department) of Rhetoric and Writing at Texas in 1993, and he served as the 1996 Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication. Faigley has published over twenty books and editions, including Fragments of Rationality (Pittsburgh, 1992), which received the MLA Mina P. Shaughnessy Prize.
