This collection of 83 rhetorically arranged essays offers strong guidance to student writers. Part I presents clear, practical advice on the art of writing; Part II helps students determine ideas in a sequence; Part III focuses on clarifying ideas; Part IV shows students how to write direct and indirect arguments; and Part V provides a controversy in context. The writing process is consistently reinforced throughout the text. An argument casebook, Controversy in Context: Implications of World Terrorism and World Peace presents 17 readings (true stories, poetry, and essays from a political scientist, a philosopher, a novelist, a critic, and a historian) that help students focus on the most significant issues of the 21st century. Student writing samples (featured in 11 complete essays and in excerpts from 13 notebooks) provide students with realistic models and show the writing process at work.Lynn Bloom is the author of 'Essay Connection, Seventh Edition', published 2003 under ISBN 9780618335916 and ISBN 0618335919.
