Editorial Reviews
"This is an engaging and well thought out textbook, with a nice balance of instruction on both writing and reading, as well as thought-provoking readings to interest students." --Kathryn A. Pallister, Red Deer College
"I absolutely love the currency and relevancy of the new readings. The length of the readings is also highly appropriate. The topics are excellent and so important to teach right now: fake news, conspiracy theory, google, tech, immigration, and so on." --Gwendoline Dirk, Medicine Hat College
