Add Tag | Summary: | The Shape of This Century: Readings from the Disciplines is a collection of essays and articles that set forth provocative information and ideas. By reading these selections, students will discover some of the ways writers present their ideas, the purposes they have for writing, and their effectiveness at achieving those purposes. The essays are arranged by six academic disciplines-social sciences, humanities, science and mathematics, journalism, education, and business-and by topics in order to present different points of view and/or different approaches writers take toward a subject. The headnotes which precede each essay provide information about the author as well as the context and occasion for the writing. Questions for Critical Analysis and Questions for Structural Analysis follow each essay; writing suggestions end each major division. |
