{"product_id":"0199012458","title":"The Active Reader: Strategies for Academic Reading and Writing","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to provide students with a practical, integrated approach to reading and writing, The Active Reader is divided into three parts. Part I: Academic Reading introduces students to the conventions of academic discourse and to critical thinking. Part II: Academic Writing begins with an overview of college\/university essays and then discusses reports, critical analyses, summaries, and research essays. Part III: The Active Reader features thirty-nine diverse and cross-disciplinary readings that are organized into five thematic sections.Features* The essays--most of which are less than five years old--have been chosen specifically for their currency and relevance to students' lives.* Suggested activities for the individual essays will initiate class discussions and encourage students to work collaboratively as well as individually.* Diverse and cross-disciplinary, the readings focus on problems and\/or solutions applicable to today's world.* A variety of rhetorical patterns are illustrated within a problem-solving framework, enabling instructors to use a more traditional rhetorical approach if they choose.* In \"The Active Voice\" features--which speak directly to students--experts offer their perspectives on particular issues or writing points.* The rhetoric and handbook section is integrated with the essay section, thus reinforcing all the principles outlined in the first two sections as students work through the essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriting, Research \u0026amp; Publishing Guides\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriting\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eric Henderson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Third\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxford University Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 440\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780199012459\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":49275427520702,"sku":"0199012458-4","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51uIPDE-q8L._SL500.jpg?v=1791919666","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0199012458","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
