The American Tradition in Literature, Volume 2 (book alone) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this book in a college American literature class. It has tons of short stories and full text of a few novels. I forget which are the full text novels aside from "Huck Finn." One thing I like about this book is that it's diverse: it has the "traditional" American literature, but it also includes Richard Wright, Alice Walker, James Baldwin, etc. There are also really helpful footnotes that aide in understanding.

Widely known as the anthology that best unites tradition with innovation, The American Tradition in Literature is proud to enter its fifth decade of leadership among textbook anthologies of American literature.
Each volume continues to offer a flexible organization, with literary merit as the guiding principle of selection. The new photos and illustrations illuminate the texts and literary/historical timelines help students put works in context.

Poetry by Doing: New Approaches to Reading, Writing, and Appreciating Poetry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Poetry By Doing" was chosen to be recorded for the blind and dyslexic by RFB&D. The book was endorsed by many of the readers who recorded it, many of them with backgrounds in teaching and/or English. The choice of poems is enlightening and more original than most anthologies. A very clearly explained text is enjoyable reading for fun as well for educating students and is intelligently interactive. The typeface is pleasing and easy to read. Highly recommended by several educators who purchased copies for their own use.

The McGraw-Hill Reader: Issues across the Disciplines Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this book very useful and with an excellent range of topics and readings. Used in WRC 1023 at UTSA. We did not read the entire book, but I found such interesting articles within the book that I ended up reading a large number of additional topics just out of curiousity. This book has a great section on "How to Mark a Book" and a very good section on "The Writing Process". Also includes some famous images from past newspaper articles and magazines.

With this ninth edition, Read, Reason, Write becomes 25 years old and although some important new material strengthens the ninth edition, the essential character of Read, Reason, Write remains the same.This text still unites instruction in critical reading and analysis, argument, and research strategies with a rich collection of readings that provide both practice for these skills and new ideas and insights for readers.
Through all of its years, this text has been committed to showing students how reading, analytic, argumentative, and research skills are interrelated and how these skills combine to develop each student's critical thinking ability.
