Perspectives on Contemporary Issues: Reading Across the Disciplines: With 2016 MLA Update Card - Tapa blanda
Reseña del editor
PERSPECTIVES ON CONTEMPORARY ISSUES, 7th Edition, approaches learning as the interconnectedness of ideas and disciplinary perspectives. This cross-disciplinary reader encourages critical thinking and academic writing by presenting students with a variety of perspectives on current issues across the curriculum. Contemporary issues engage students, while the thematically grouped readings provide thought-provoking material for in-class discussion and writing topics. This edition features more than 30 new readings, almost all of them published recently and including a number of longer selections; an expanded chapter on the writing process, with a stress on the distinction between writing and editing; an increased number of paired readings that express differing views on the same subject; new full-color visuals in the "Responding to Visuals" sections; and more. Each student text is packaged with a free Cengage Essential Reference Card to the MLA HANDBOOK, Eighth Edition.
