- 26 rich, lengthy, and demanding readings (8 new) are by key figures in current cultural and academic debates, including Michel Foucault, Adrienne Rich, John Berger, Mary Louise Pratt, and Edward Said. Many selections work with visual texts, and this edition includes over 100 paintings and photographs. - 18 unique Assignment Sequences (4 new), connect reading, critical thinking, and writing by asking students to read several selections and write several essays on a single subject. Subjects include autobiography, history and ethnography, and reading culture, among others. The assignments build on each other, allowing students to work with a selection, connect one selection to another, and bring the ideas of one writer to bear on another. This work helps them develop crucial skills that will serve them throughout their college careers and beyond. - Innovative editorial apparatus and teaching aids. The book's apparatus helps students to work on what they read through rereading and writing. The outstanding introduction prepares them for the push and shove of academic work. Lengthy headnotes and three kinds of questions help them to deal with the difficult material. An Instructor's Manual (written by Bartholomae and Petrosky) and a Web site with additional assignments offer resources for teaching the book.

I currently have this book in my college composition class, and I have various feelings about it. It is targeted towards students who have trouble with reading comprehension and remembering what they just read, among other things. Some of the stories are "all right", but it disappoints me that most of the authors say everything that needs to be said in the first several pages, yet ramble on for about 30 or 40 pages. I don't think they have enough poetry in the book, mostly essays. The best essay I have read (so far. We just began the book a few weeks ago) has been "Our Secret" by Susan Griffin. "Ways of Reading" is better than some textbooks I have read, they just need to add more spice to the next edition which is the 9th.
