Paper cover, which is the same light weight as the pages, is tearing at the staples. 129 pages. "This instructor's manual provides answers to the questions asked after each selection in The Contemporary Reader From Little, Brown. Such answers do not presume to do the work for the instructor; they are just meant to help. Certainly these answers are not exhaustive or the only ones appropriate, and I hope that students and instructors will conspire to provide others." --Gary Goshgarian, Preface) "The purpose of any composition 'reader' is to provide students with essays that inspire thought, stimulate class discussion, and serve as writing models. But a reader will fail to achieve any of these goals unless its essays fulfill one crucial task--they must interest the student. I am confident this collection will It is the result of fifteen years of listening to writing students complain about how boring their readers are; fifteen years of trying to respond adequately to the universal plea: 'Why can't we read something interesting, something we can relate to?' What makes [this book] different from all the rest is its emphasis on the contemporary. All the selections in this anthology were chosen because they are about current experiences and issues college students can 'relate to.' More than a third of the pieces were written since 1982; and those few classic pieces by prose masters such as E. B. White and James Thurber are as fresh today as they were decades ago when composed." --Gary Goshgarian, Preface Listing updated 4-9-2024. Seller Inventory # 003229
