The acclaimed rhetorical modes reader with detailed writing guidance

Revel(TM) The Longman Reader combines celebrated pedagogy with a wealth of readings to help students develop sound writing skills. The opening chapters focus on reading critically and the writing process, while subsequent chapters provide detailed writing instruction. To demonstrate various developmental patterns, the text presents professional essays ranging in approach and subject matter - from the humorous to the informative, and from personal meditation to argument. The 12th Edition includes 23 new professional selections, a new, predominantly visual composition, and additional coverage of how to critically assess both words and images.
