Feature Details A print text Free shipping New Feature A new Part 1, R eading Images , encourages students to "read" both classic and contemporary art in a variety of media, and offers essays about visual literacy which raise questions about the role of art in society, the intent of the artist, and the possible reactions of the audience. Thirty-seven new selections -almost a third of the book-offer models of good persuasive writing on a range of compelling contemporary topics including the "Great Recession" of 2008-2010; vampires in popular culture; the wars in the Middle East, and rabidly partisan politics; the future of higher education; and the transformative effects that new technologies may soon have on all of our lives. New readings in Chs. 2 and 4 wrestle honestly with the challenges of teaching and learning in a technology-saturated world and offer guidance about how student interactions with technology-in-class texting, for example, or the use of Wikipedia and other online research sources-may impact their learning. A revitalized chapter on popular culture includes texts on topics rooted in cutting edge cultural context: robot toys (including Transformers and Furbys), ethics in sports (cheating in poker, steroids in baseball), male-bashing in sitcoms and commercials, and the surprising resurgence of popularity of vampires, from the romantic ( Twilight, True Blood ) to the more horrific and violent iterations ( 30 Days of Night, Daybreakers, Let the Right One In ). An array of exciting new Notebooks- collections of related readings at the beginning of most parts-bring together persuasive texts on controversial issues and offer you fresh opportunities to add your own voice to contemporary debates.
