Overview


The Art of Critical Reading, an intermediate-to-advanced reading text now in its second edition, is designed to engage and inspire students with engaging reading selections across genres and disciplines, eye-catching works of art, and thought-provoking exercises.

The new Second Edition features:

  • NEW full-color design, adding greater dimension to the artworks, cartoons, and other visuals that appear throughout the text. As part of this design, reading selections designed to appear as they would in their original forms: newspaper clips, textbook excerpts, magazine articles, and book selections.
  • NEW selections on creativity and critical thinking, with additional questions and analysis.
  • Greater emphasis on vocabulary development, with integrated and varied vocabulary units and material on vocabulary in context.
  • Reading selections that deal with issues that today's students can relate to: relationships, health, school, and community. These selections include additional textbook excerpts drawn from disciplines including art, psychology, and biology.
  • A continued emphasis on the theme of art, featuring art work from around the world and across centuries, providing inspiration for students and connections to the texts.
  • A complete Online Learning Center (http://www.mhhe.com/mather) featuring additional activities, links, and writing prompts.
