Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With its focus on the social sciences, sciences, and the humanities, this thematically-arranged reader is suitable for any writing-across-the-curriculum approach to freshman composition, interdisciplinary core course, or freshman seminar. Book News Annotation:This reader is intended to serve in freshman reading-and-writing-
across-the-curriculum courses. The editors (of the U. of California
at Santa Barbara and Bay Bath College) present 129 classic and
contemporary readings addressing questions of government and
politics, art and literature, science and technology, and religion
and philosophy. Each of the readings is followed by questions for

based on Aristotle's Rhetoric. A "rhetorical table of contents"
allows users of the texts to organize readings by mode and by aim.
