The Contemporary Reader, Ninth Edition
Gary Goshgarian
Success starts here.
With a wide-ranging collection of over 90 contemporary readings–50 of them new to this edition, and 90 percent of them written within the last five years–this best-selling anthology is an unbeatable resource for learning how to understand today’s issues and arguments and how to write effectively in the college classroom and beyond. You won’t want to miss Emilio Dabul on why the terrorists on the T.V. show 24 are generally Arabs, or Al Gore on global warming (or a blogger on why he’s just really tired of hearing about the whole subject), or essays about topics such as the corporate hours (and dollars) that go into designing lunchboxes and princess paraphernalia for America’s children, and how violent video games affect our lives. The Contemporary Reader brings you all this and more!
Critical new material available only in this edition
· Three new chapters–on climate change (Does it exist? Can we survive it?), the American university system (Who gets in, and who doesn’t? Who should get in?), and immigration (Does the United States have a special relationship to immigrants? What does that mean?)–bring you face to face with major scientific, ethical, and political arguments.· Reading the Blog posts throughout the book bring online debates–the reality of our contemporary communication–into the genre mix.
· Culture Shock features offer ads, cartoons, maps, and other images and, by asking pointed questions, help you discover the meanings hidden in the “visual assault” that we cope with every day.
