Table of Content
Fresh and timely new readings, debates, and casebooks. 38 of the readings (one third) are new, as are dozens of topics of current interest: Three new debates and three new casebooks tackle some of today's most controversial issues, including student loan debt, government regulation of large sodas, social media dependency, and hydraulic fracturing. Sherri Turkle considers how technology has devalued the art of conversation. Mark Bittman makes a case for taxing foods that are harmful to our health. In e-Pages, students can watch a speech by President Obama on the death of Osama bin Laden and then answer questions about how such a speech seeks to connect with both Americans and a broader world audience. A new chapter on rhetorical analysis of popular culture gives students a framework for making arguments about popular culture, from public service announcements to Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. More help for research. This edition includes a new MLA research paper and additional help working with sources, including a heavily revised section on summary, paraphrase, and patchwriting. More help with writing strategies. Three new Idea Prompts, or templates, offer strategies for establishing ethos, varying tone, and constructing Toulmin arguments. Three new checklists break down strategies for considering audience and conducting sound rhetorical analysis. E-Pages for Current Issues and Enduring Questions take advantage of what the Web can do with coverage of ethical and legal arguments as well as additional multimodal readings, from speeches to documentary film trailers. Instructors can customize the collection by adding their own multimodal readings as well as a syllabus.
