This immediately engaging composition resource features a thematically-organized collection of readings, a process-based rhetoric, and a concise handbook.

                                      

Between Worlds opens with more than 75 multi-genre readings reflecting the human condition of being “in between”—generations, cultures, genders, perceptions, points of view.  A substantial rhetoric section traces several student papers-in-progress through the prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing processes and explores the rhetorical strategies using student and professional essays as models. A research chapter with information on using and documenting sources in MLA and APA style and a brief handbook section are also included. Between Worlds emphasizes the importance of reading, critical thinking, and analysis in all college writing assignments.
