By Gilbery Muller
This rhetorically organized reader, maintains the best features of the earlier editions: lively reading selections supported by helpful apparatus to integrate reading and writing in college composition and reading courses. In working through the text, the student progresses from key aspects of the writing and reading processes to chapters on the essential patterns of writing and then to more rigorous forms of analysis and argument. Each chapter provides diverse and lively prose models suited for discussion, analysis, and imitation.

Features:
Eighteen new reading selections, including essays by Nora Ephron, Norman Mailer, Anna Quindlen, Richard Rodriguez, Diane Ackerman, Thomas L. Friedman, and Susan Cheever. We balance these contemporary readings—all published since 2000—with favorites from earlier editions of The Short Prose Reader, such as Langston Hughes's "Salvation," George Orwell's "A Hanging," Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue," and Rachel Carson's "A Fable for Tomorrow."
New topics and issues that will appeal to students, among them online writing styles, terrorism and torture, environmentalism, globalization, college life, and the roles of working women in society today.
A revised table of contents: Students now move from easier rhetorical strategies to more challenging ones (like classification and definition) that stress synthetic and higher-order cognitive abilities.
Links to the online learning center (OLC) integrated throughout the text. The OLC provides students with links to more information about some of the writers in this collection, as well as access to Catalyst—McGraw-Hill's premier writing, editing, and research resource.
