Author Description

This all-in-one rhetoric, reader, research paper guide, and brief handbook provides a flexible, comprehensive resource that fully integrates critical thinking into sections on the writing process and patterns of organization. This rhetorically-organized text helps students learn to use reflective and critical thinking in all stages of writing and reading. Four in One is designed for maximum flexibility--each part is self-contained and can be used independently, but students and instructors can rely on this single volume for all their composition needs. A separate section of thirty readings allows instructors to pick and choose, so they are not locked into a single approach. The extensive research guide comprises over a hundred pages of strategies for finding and using sources, and a brief handbook offers students the critical information they need to write correctly.
