FULL COLOR

A new full-color design adds visual appeal for students while helping to organize and highlight material.

MORE VISUALS

Over thirty cartoons, illustrations, posters, and photographs appear through the book to reinforce writing principles. Some assignments are illustrated with visuals, to give today’s multimedia-trained students help in writing about a topic.

MORE RESEARCH

A completely revised Part Four offers students practical guidance on how to do research, consolidating and updating material in previous editions on the library, the Internet, and research papers.

ADDED ACTIVITIES AND WRITING ASSIGNMENTS

A full set of activities and more writing assignments have been added to Part Three’s “Essay Development” section. With the help of these new materials, instructors who wish to provide students with a more substantial introduction to essay writing will be able to do so.

NEW READINGS

Four new reading selections have been added in this sixth edition, including the first fiction selection ever included in the readings. In addition, photos of most of the authors of the readings have also been added in Part Six.
