Features
New to This Edition
37 intriguing new selections on compelling topics that will give students something to say. In the print book, 20 professional essays and 5 student essays are complemented by 12 multimodal selections in e-Pages to offer a variety of voices, some challenging readings, and strong rhetorical models.
- James Parker, in "Our Zombies, Ourselves," looks at why we love the walking dead.
- Dan Koeppel, in "Taking a Fall," tells us what to do if we find ourselves falling out of an airplane.
- Dove, "Evolution" (e-Pages video), shows how a woman is transformed into a model through makeup, lighting, and Photoshop.
Now with e-Pages. Students can now do the work of the course online, with engaging readings that match the topics and approach of the book. In this edition, each chapter of The Bedford Reader includes a multimodal selection—audio, graphics, and essays--available only online.
Bedford e-Book to Go. A customizable e-book is available for The Bedford Reader, at about half the price of the print edition. Students can highlight, take notes and quizzes, and bookmark important parts of the text. Instructors can add their own material (a syllabus, for example, or assignments).
Provocative argument topics. New print casebooks examine how corporations track our internet use, and the challenges of individual action to sustain the environment. In e-Pages, a casebook examines the nature of work/life balance for women.
Added help with reading and writing. There’s now more on critical reading, analyzing an essay, crafting a thesis statement, drafting the body of the essay, evaluating sources, and avoiding plagiarism.
APA coverage. In response to instructor requests, an appendix offers advice on documenting sources using American Psychological Association style.
