Fields of Wrting, Readings Across the Disciplines edited by Nancy R. Comley, David Hamilton, Carl H. Klaus, Robert Scholes, and Nancy Sommers.
Preface For Teachers: In organizing our collection, we have once again grouped pieces according to four broad rhetorical categories-"Reflecting," Reporting," "Explaining," and "Arguing"-that represent essential kinds of reading and writing in virtually every academic or professional area. In every field, persons need to think about past experience (reflecting), convey information (reporting), make sense of knowledge (explaining), and debate controversial ideas and issues (arguing). Within each of these four categories, we have as before grouped the selections according to three broad curricular areas-"Arts and Humanities," "Social Sciences and Public Affairs," and "Sciences and Technologies." This combined system of organization, our reviewers tell us, has proved to be a convenient aid to discovering and assigning selections for a variety of classroom purposes.
For Students: Fields of Writing: Readings Across the Disciplines, second edition, is intended to help you develop the abilities in reading and writing that you will need as you move from one course to another, one field of study to another, throughout your college career. In some senses, of course, all areas of study expect the same things of you......namely, close and careful reading as well as clear and exact writing, with an attentiveness above all to information and ideas....Each field of study calls for somewhat different reading and writing abilities. So in putting together this collection, we have tried to give you a sampling of the varied fields of writing you are likely to encounter in the academic world.
SC; 786 pages. Second edition. Good overall condition with some light wear and tear and some writing including name inside the front cover on first page. No flaws that would make the book unusable or hard to use. This is a terrific book and have re-read many of the pieces assigned (and some that weren't) numerous times for enjoyment!
