Synopsis

Louise Erdrich, Amy Tan, John Steinbeck, Pat Mora, and Andrew Lam are among the authors represented in Visions Across the Americas: Short Essays for Composition, 8th Edition. The book's 72 cross-cultural essays (12 of them new) cover a variety of themes--from cyberspace, humor, and popular culture to ecology, politics, and work. Writing guidance includes an overview of the writing process, writing tips, pre- and post-reading questions that reinforce understanding of the rhetorical modes, and optional activities on conducting research online and documenting sources.

About this title

Review:

"I like the questions given for essay compositions--they are not too overly intellectual yet they are not too simplistic. They have the right amount of challenge and accessibility."

"A great selection of readings, with a wide range of reading levels, by many well-known authors that students are bound to see again and again in their college careers and after. Many opportunities to use the readings in the chapters as they are presented or to pull them out of the chapters and use them based on different themes."
