<p>This landmark approach to the writing process contains thirteen student and professional readings.  The authors combine reading instruction with writing instruction because they see a close relationship between the abilities to read critically and write intelligently.  The text integrates reading and writing to teach students three types of nonfiction writing:  personal writing, informative writing, and argumentative writing.  Chapter 2-6 of Part 1 guide the student through the stages of invention, drafting, and revision of an essay, with opportunities to think about writing across the disciplines and exercises for group inquiry.  The Writer at Work sections show the student essayist's progression from initial idea to first draft.  Part 2 offers overviews of invention, drafting, and revision, in three chapters.   Through the five essay assignments, students experience four fundamentally different kinds of inquiry and composing: remembering events, observing people and places first hand, explaining learned information, and convincing readers to take seriously positions on issues or solutions to problems.</p>

The best-selling college rhetoric for over 20 years, The St. Martin's Guide has an unparalleled record of proven success. From the beginning, Axelrod and Cooper have taken the best of classic and contemporary theory, filtered it through their own and their colleagues' classroom experience, and then blended the result into a flexible classroom tool. Their step-by-step guides to writing specific kinds of essays were a groundbreaking concept and changed the way writing is taught in American colleges. The course continues to change, and Axelrod and Cooper continue to innovate: source-based writing, analysis of argument, online teaching, and visual rhetoric are some of the focuses of this latest revision. By seamlessly incorporating practical, class-tested solutions to these new challenges, Axelrod and Cooper have once again provided the best foundation for college writing.
