Editorial Reviews

"Because I have used previous editions for many quarters, I was pleased to see that many of its strengths remain: clarity, great examples, affordability. I was also pleased to see that this edition is now available as an e-edition. For what it aims to do, I see no weaknesses in this text—it's an exemplary choice for college writers, and I will continue to use it."
—Scott Orme, Chair, English and Languages, Spokane Community College
