Book Description
Arranged rhetorically, 75 READINGS was first conceived and celebrated as a low-priced alternative. Known for its presentation of many of the most widely anthologized essays, the reader contains no in-text apparatus. Instead, questions and other pedagogical devices are found in the accompanying Instructor's Manual. The sixth edition incorporates additional analytical essays that explore a wider range of subject areas encouraging students to write reflectively and think critically. As always, the price remains low providing an excellent value to students.
