Cultures

Drawn from popular magazines and newspaper articles, this absorbing collection of seventy-five readings reflects the diverse heritages students bring to class by spotlighting various cultures. The readings in Cultures are brief, informative, and interesting enough to maintain even the most reluctant reader's attention. And Cultures is one of the only readers on the market to cover thoroughly each step of the writing process for each article. The articles fall into three broad areas of general interest: people and careers, issues and ideas, and culture and tradition. The author covers the entire writing process with exercises in prereading, defining, reading, prewriting, revising, and editing.
