About this book
Packed with readings on current and often controversial topics from across the disciplines, Ackley's PERSPECTIVES ON CONTEMPORARY ISSUES, 9th Edition, equips you to think, read and write critically. Part I emphasizes writing and research, with separate chapters on reading critically, the writing process, writing a summary, the critique, argumentation, synthesis requiring documentation and the research paper. Part II consists of sometimes provocative, always intriguing, readings on various topics across the academic disciplines. Each reading is followed by a brief reading quiz for review, questions that help you make a personal connection by applying the topic to your life and questions for the classroom or small-group discussion. Unique "Responding to Visuals" sections prompt you to analyze images.
