This comprehensive text presents clear instruction on critical reading and analysis, argument, and research techniques, along with a collection of current, incisive readings appropriate for practicing those techniques. New features of the eighth edition include an expanded visual program, featuring new chapter opening visuals and two full-color inserts, and a newly revised and updated reader.
Almost completely identical except for some new reading from ed. 7. Just enough to throw off the page counts. There are even errors in here that haven't been caught.
