A World of Ideas: Essential Readings for College Writers Tenth Edition

Looking at this book when it arrived, it wasn't very clear how I could use it. I was not sure what I am supposed to get out of it. I rented the book for a critical thinking class. Unfortunately, I had to drop the course quickly, so I thought I might just read it on my own to see if I could prepare myself for when I take the class, too confusing. I am sure the teacher had a purpose for it.

Fantastic book, and excellent to bring one back into the ropes of writing on a traditional college institutional level! I have been out of school for almost 7 years and it has definitely clicked right back into my mind how I used to be back in school, if not, improved my critical writing skills.Quick note though, the pages are quite thin, so if you have a muscle-memory reaction to flipping pages that you can't grip by giving your index finger a lick, it may leave the page's corner slightly wrinkled. Otherwise, this book is great!

I wish the return window was a few days longer. My daughter thought she needed this for a college course and didn't end up using it. After graduation I went to return it and learned I missed it by 4 days. If there's any way I could return it unused for even some money that would be better than nothing. I know that's not your fault, but a little longer would have been nice since it was at college and I didn't have it to return until now.

I actually like this book that’s because I love to challenge myself and learn new words all the time.but for a person who is just trying to understand the context of the book just to read for a class,you might find it difficult to read .so I would definitely recommend the e-book because you can select a word and easily be able to get its definition and continue on reading as Opposed to-actually having the hardback copy and then having to go define the word separately

The rental has some obvious water damage and the pages are hard to turn because they're all stuck together. I also had to tape up part of the back cover as soon as it arrived. If I were just keeping it at home it'd be fine for the semester, but since I have to carry it to class it'll take some wear & tear that I don't know this particular book can handle.

This book has a plethora of amazing essays from those who came before us and those that are still with us. It gives us a glimpse of both sides of rhetoric.

Love the productBooks for school

This book was for my English 1C, Critical Thinking class. Excellent book for any college student.
