Samples are used throughout the book to illustrate different approaches to each topic. Chapters also include sections on collaborative writing, writing with computers, and other writing tips. Summaries and responses to reading exercises end each chapter. The grammar and mechanics handbook has explanations and exercises covering the basics, as well as editing, proofreading, and advice on improving vocabulary and word choice. For those interested in developing their writing skills at the essay level.

Brief, flexible, and economical, this Penguin Academics anthology presents classic and contemporary arguments on landmark issues in American life: the environment, education, censorship, civil disobedience, the struggle for liberation, and immigration and assimilation. Argument in America offers multi-sided dialogues on timeless issues fundamental to American culture and civic identity. The book introduces students to an historical dimension as well as contemporary perspectives from a wide range of authors writing in many genres: essays, speeches, poems, stories, and visual arguments. The final section of the anthology, "Arguments on Argument," features several selections on the nature of argument itself. Helpful but unobtrusive editorial apparatus includes a brief general introduction, introductions to the seven sections, discussion questions, and headnotes for the selections, many of which explain how the selection contributes to the argumentative issue at hand.
