The editorial apparatus is flexible and unobtrusive enough to support a variety of approaches to teaching composition. The seventh edition features new voices on culturally relevant topics as well as an enhanced documentation guide establishing the importance of conducting research and evaluating sources, and new pre-reading questions to guide students as they develop their skills as critical readers.

50 Essays: a Portable Anthology is about as exciting as it sounds. Some of the essays are quite good and interesting. And then there are the long, boring ones that almost put you to sleep. A nice thing about this collection is that most of the essays are relatively unknown, with obvious exceptions like "The Declaration of Independence".
