completing assignments in 15 common academic genres. This new version of Raimes' long renowned text features the same strong ESL coverage, concise but complete explanations, ease of use, and outstanding student writing samples. It also delivers the Seventh Edition's new framework for critical thinking, which offers students a method for understanding and approaching rhetorical situations, developed by co-author Susan Miller-Cochran. End-of-part exercises let students check their understanding, "Source Shots" in the documentation sections provide visual examples of how to document sources ranging from print to Internet to MP3 selections, and a focus on writing in the disciplines helps students carry the framework for critical thinking into a variety of academic contexts. Concurrently, guidelines for thinking critically about sources help students apply the framework to source evaluation. A colorful design provides strong visual presentation of concepts to help students learn to think critically about their writing and use of sources.
